Filing 21
TEXT-ONLY ORDER re: #12 First Amended Disclosure Statement filed by Amazon.com Sales, Inc., #7 Disclosure Statement filed by Amazon Logistics, Inc. Amazon.com Sales, Inc. and Amazon Logistics, Inc. are ordered to amend their respective Disclosure Statements no later than 3/17/2026 to correct the following defects: (1) Neither defendant clearly certifies whether it has any parent corporation in response to section 1, which asks for disclosures required by Fed. R. Civ. P. 7.1(a)(1), ; and (2) Neither defendant answered section 3, which asks for disclosures required by S.D. Ala. CivLR 7.1 "[t]o the extent not otherwise disclosed" in the prior sections. Since neither defendant disclosed any entities in the prior sections, their leaving section 3 blank is at least ambiguous as to whether they have made full disclosure under CivLR 7.1. The defendants therefore must each expressly answer section 3, even if the answer is "none." Signed by Magistrate Judge Katherine P. Nelson on 3/11/2026. (ctn)
