January 25, 2024 Opinion or Order Filing 7 MINUTE ORDER: For purposes of clarity, the Court notes that Plaintiff Avodah Farms filed a Corporate Disclosure Statement on on January 25, 2024. See [Doc. 1-2]. However, the Disclosure Statement fails to meet the requirements of Rule 7.1(a)(2) because it does not "identify the citizenship of every individual or entity whose citizenship is attributed to that party." Fed. R. Civ. P. 7.1(a)(2). Furthermore, it does not identify Plaintiff Keenan Fitzpatrick's state of citizenship. Thus, Plaintiff Avodah Farms's Corporate Disclosure Statement does not obviate the Court's February 1, 2024 deadline for Plaintiffs to each file compliant disclosure statements. By Judge Nina Y.

The statement must name and identify the citizenship of every individual or entity whose citizenship is attributed to that party." Fed. R. Civ. P. 7.1(a)(2). This disclosure statement is to be filed "when the action is filed in... federal court," Fed. R. Civ. P. 7.1(a)(2)(A), or at the time of the party's "first appearance, pleading, petition, motion, response, or other request addressed to the court." Fed. R. Civ. P. 7.1(b)(1). Accordingly, it is ORDERED that Plaintiffs shall file their Rule 7.1 disclosure statements on or before 2/1/2024.
