v.

Case No. 2:17-cv-01908-JCM-PAL
Plaintiff,

ORDER

COSTCO WHOLESALE CORPORATION,
Defendant.

12

This matter is before the court on plaintiff’s failure to file a Certificate as to Interested

13

Parties as required by LR 7.1-1. The Complaint in this matter was filed June 20, 2017 in state

14

court. Defendant filed an Answer (ECF No. 3) and removed the case to federal district court July

15

7, 2017. LR 7.1-1(a) requires, unless otherwise ordered, that in all cases (except habeas corpus

16

cases) counsel for private parties shall, upon entering a case, identify in the disclosure statement

17

required by Fed. R. Civ. P. 7.1 all persons, associations of persons, firms, partnerships or

18

corporations (including parent corporations) which have a direct, pecuniary interest in the outcome

19

of the case. LR 7.1-1(b) further states that if there are no known interested parties other than those

20

participating in the case, a statement to that effect must be filed. Additionally, LR 7.1-1(c) requires

21

a party to promptly file a supplemental certification upon any change in the information that this

22

rule requires. To date, plaintiff has failed to comply. Accordingly,

23

IT IS ORDERED plaintiff shall file her certificate of interested parties, which fully

24

complies with LR 7.1-1 no later than October 6, 2017. Failure to comply may result in the

25

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

26

DATED this 22nd day of September, 2017.
