September 1, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 7 ORDER: From the plaintiff's allegations, the court cannot tell whether there is diversity of citizenship or not. Accordingly, by 9/12/2023, Farmers shall file and serve an amended notice of removal that alleges the citizenship of the parties, including the states of incorporation and principal places of business. Failure to timely file and serve such an amended notice of removal will result in remand to the 95th Judicial District Court of Dallas County, Texas, without further notice.

September 1, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 6 ELECTRONIC ORDER: On August 31, 2023, the defendant 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 shall file a separately signed certificate of interested persons that complies with LR 3.1(c) or 3.2(e). If the plaintiff concurs in the accuracy of another party's previously-filed certificate, the plaintiff may adopt that certificate." LR 3.1(c) and 3.2(e) in turn require that when a complaint is filed, the plaintiff 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 September 21, 2023, the 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. Joe Fish on 9/1/2023) (chmb)
