July 21, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 3 TEXT-ONLY ORDER re Plaintiff Fortune Holdings, LLC's #2 Corporate Disclosure Statement: The disclosure statement tracks only the language of Fed. R. Civ.

P. 7.1 applies to "nongovernmental corporate" parties -- not unincorporated parties like LLCs; and (2) the disclosure requirements of S.D. Ala. CivLR 7.1 are broader than those of Fed. R. Civ. P. 7.1, see S.D. Ala. CivLR 7.1(b) ("The Disclosure Statement shall identify the represented entity's general nature and shall identify all parents, subsidiaries, partners, members, managers, trustees, affiliates, and similarly related persons and entities."); Fed. R. Civ. P. 7.1 advisory committees note to 2002 adoption ("Rule 7.1 does not prohibit local rules that require disclosures in addition to those required by Rule 7.1."). Accordingly, Fortune Holdings, LLC is ORDERED to file an amended disclosure statement that complies with S.D. Ala. CivLR 7.1 no later than July 28, 2022. Signed by Magistrate Judge Katherine P.
