Case No. 2:11-cv-00536-GMN-PAL
ORDER
and
ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

13
14

This matter is before the court on Defendant Marcel July’s failure to file a Certificate as to

15

Interested Parties as required by LR 7.1-1. The Complaint (Dkt. #1) in this matter was filed April 8,

16

2011. Defendant Marcel July’s Answer (Dkt. #15) was filed May 19, 2011. LR 7.1-1(a) requires,

17

unless otherwise ordered, that in all cases (except habeas corpus cases) pro se litigants and counsel for

18

private parties shall, upon entering a case, identify in the disclosure statement required by Fed. R. Civ.

19

P. 7.1 all persons, associations of persons, firms, partnerships or corporations (including parent

20

corporations) which have a direct, pecuniary interest in the outcome of the case. LR 7.1-1(b) further

21

states that if there are no known interested parties, other than those participating in the case, a statement

22

to that effect must be filed. Additionally, LR 7.1-1(c) requires a party to promptly file a supplemental

23

certification upon any change in the information that this rule requires. To date, Defendant Marcel has

24

failed to comply.

25

This matter is also before the court on Defendant Octavius Tower, LLC’s (“Octavious”) failure

26

to comply with this court’s Order (Dkt. #13) requiring Defendant Octavius to file a Certificate as to

27

Interested Parties as required by LR 7.1-1. The court’s Order (Dkt. #13) entered May 18, 2011,

28

required Defendant Octavius to file its Certificate as to Interested Parties no later than 4:00 p.m., May

1

31, 2011, and further advised Defendant Octavius that its failure to timely comply with the court’s order

2

may result in sanctions. To date, Defendants Octavius has failed to comply with this court’s order.

3

The purpose of the certificate is to advise the court of all parties who may have an interest in the

4

outcome of the case so that the assigned judges may evaluate whether they have a conflict of interest

5

which requires recusal. Filing the certificate is a simple matter. Failing to comply with the Local Rules

6

of Practice, the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and the court’s orders may result in sanctions up to

7

and including case dispositive sanctions. If the Defendants know of no other parties who may have an

8

interest in the outcome of this case, a simple statement to that effect will suffice. Accordingly,

9
10

IT IS ORDERED that:
1.

Defendant Marcel shall file its Certificate as to Interested Parties, which fully complies

11

with LR 7.1-1 no later than 4:00 p.m., June 20, 2011. Failure to comply may result in

12

the issuance of an order to show cause why sanctions should not be imposed.

13

2.

Defendant Octavius shall show cause, in writing, no later than June 20, 2011, why

14

sanctions should not be imposed for its failure to file a Certificate as to Interested Parties

15

and its failure to comply with this court’s Order (Dkt. #13). Filing the Certificate of

16

Interested parties on or before June 20, 2011 will satisfy the court that sanctions are not

17

warranted, and no further response to this order to show cause shall be required.

18

Dated this 6th day of June, 2011.
