1. The Land Commissioners explain in a cover letter accompanying their disclosures that they are sending them out of an abundance of caution, and in response to the Ninth Circuit's decision in Monster Energy Co. v. City Beverages, LLC, 940 F.3d 1130 (9th Cir. 2019). There, the Ninth Circuit held as a matter of first impression that arbitrators must disclose ownership interests in arbitration organizations and those organizations' business deals with parties to the arbitration.
