November 29, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 3 TEXT-ONLY ORDER: The corporate disclosure statement #2 filed by Defendant is insufficient under this Court's local rules. Though it cites and tracks the language of Fed. R. Civ. P. 7.1, the local disclosure requirements are broader than the federal rules require. 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[,]" without regard to whether they have issued shares to the public.). See also, Fed. R. Civ. P. 7.1 advisory committee's 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, Defendant Whirlpool Corporation is ORDERED to file an amended disclosure statement that certifies disclosure required by S.D. Ala. CivLR 7.1 no later than December 6, 2022. Though not required to be on this Court's specific disclosure form, use of this format may be beneficial, and it can be found on the Court's website at: https://www.alsd.uscourts.gov/forms/allforms. Signed by Magistrate Judge Katherine P. Nelson on 11/29/2022. (pdo)
