M.D. La. LR 7.1
Certificate of Interested Persons
All parties, including parties added during the pendency of a civil action, are required to file a
certificate of interested persons. In addition to the requirements of Fed. R. Civ. P. 7.1(a), civil complaints
and the initial responsive pleading or motion filed in lieu of responsive pleadings that a defendant files in
a civil action must be accompanied by a separately filed and signed certificate of interested persons that
contains 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 or else a statement that there are no such persons to identify.
If a civil action is removed, the plaintiff shall file a signed certificate of interested persons, which
shall neither constitute a general appearance nor prejudice the party’s ability to file a motion for remand.
All parties must promptly file a supplemental certificate if any required information changes.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
