If a large group of persons or firms can be specified by a generic description, individual listing is not necessary." Accordingly, by October 21, 2021, each plaintiff must comply with Rule 3.1(c) or 3.2(e) so that the court can ensure that recusal is not required in this case. (Ordered by Senior Judge A.
