Plaintiffs,

v.

ORDER

JC FUNDING-5, LLC, et al,
Defendants.

12

This matter is before the court on pro se defendant Jeff N. Crossland’s (“Crossland), and

13

pro se defendant Leslie Dotson’s (“Dotson”) failure to file a Certificate of Interested Parties as

14

required by LR 7.1-1. The Complaint (ECF No. 1) in this matter was filed October 4, 2017.

15

Defendant Dotson filed an Answer (ECF No. 11) November 6, 2017. Defendant Crossland filed

16

a Motion to Quash (ECF No. 12) November 6, 2017. LR 7.1-1(a) states, in pertinent part, that

17

“pro se parties and attorneys for private non-governmental parties must identify in the disclosure

18

statement all persons, associations of persons, firms, partnerships or corporations (including parent

19

corporations) that have a direct, pecuniary interest in the outcome of the case.”

20
21

The disclosure statement must include the following certification:

23

The undersigned, pro se party, certifies that the following may have
a direct, pecuniary interest in the outcome of this case: (here list the
names of all such parties and identify their connection and interests.)
These representations are made to enable judges of the court to
evaluate possible disqualifications or recusal.

24

Signature of pro se party.

26

Defendants Crossland and Dotson must file a notice with the court disclosing all persons,

27

associations of persons, firms, partnerships or corporations (including parent corporations) that

28

have a direct, pecuniary interest in the outcome of the case. If there are no known interested parties
1

1

other than those participating in the case, “a statement to that effect will satisfy the rule.” LR 7.1-

2

1(b). Additionally, defendants must promptly file a supplemental notice “upon any change in the

3

information that this rule requires.” LR 7.1-1(c).

4

Accordingly,

5

IT IS ORDERED that defendants Crossland and Dotson shall file a notice with the court

6

disclosing all persons, associations of persons, firms, partnerships or corporations (including

7

parent corporations) that have a direct, pecuniary interest in the outcome of the case no later than

8

March 23, 2018. Failure to comply may result in the issuance of an order to show cause why

9

sanctions should not be imposed.
