January 27, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 4 ELECTRONIC ORDER: On January 27, 2023, the defendant Meridian Security Insurance Company removed this civil action to this court. Local Rule 81.2 provides that "[w]ithin 21 days after the notice of removal is filed, the plaintiff[s] shall file a separately signed certificate of interested persons that complies with LR 3.1(c) or 3.2(e). If the plaintiff[s] concur[] in the accuracy of another party's previously-filed certificate, the plaintiff[s] may adopt that certificate." LR 3.1(c) and 3.2(e) in turn require that when a complaint is filed, the plaintiffs must provide the clerk with "a separately signed certificate of interested persons -- in a form approved by the clerk -- that contains -- in addition to the information required by Fed. R. Civ. P. 7.1(a) -- a complete list of all persons, associations of persons, firms, partnerships, corporations, guarantors, insurers, affiliates, parent or subsidiary corporations, or other legal entities that are financially interested in the outcome of the case. If a large group of persons or firms can be specified by a generic description, individual listing is not necessary." Accordingly, no later than February 16, 2023, the plaintiffs 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. Joe Fish on 1/27/2023) (chmb)
