Case No. 2:17-cv-02434-JAD-PAL
Plaintiff,

ORDER

C.R. BARD, INC., et al.,
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 in state court and removed

14

(ECF No. 1) September 18, 2017. Defendants filed an Answer (ECF No. 5) September 25, 2017.

15

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

16

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

17

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

18

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

19

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

20

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

21

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

22

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 December 12, 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 28th day of November, 2017.
