ORDER
PEGGY A. LEEN, Magistrate Judge.
This matter is before the court on plaintiff's failure to file a Certificate as to Interested Parties as required by LR 7.1-1. The complaint, amended complaint, and second amended complaint in this matter were filed in state court and removed (ECF No. 1) May 2, 2017. No answers have been filed.
LR 7.1-1(a) requires, unless otherwise ordered, that in all cases (except habeas corpus cases) counsel for private parties shall, upon entering a case, identify in the disclosure statement required by Fed. R. Civ. P. 7.1 all persons, associations of persons, firms, partnerships or corporations (including parent corporations) which have a direct, pecuniary interest in the outcome of the case. LR 7.1-1(b) further states that if there are no known interested parties other than those participating in the case, a statement to that effect must be filed. Additionally, LR 7.1-1(c) requires a party to promptly file a supplemental certification upon any change in the information that this rule requires. To date, plaintiff has failed to comply.
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED plaintiff shall file its certificate of interested parties, which fully complies with LR 7.1-1 no later than June 7, 2017. Failure to comply may result in the issuance of an order to show cause why sanctions should not be imposed.
