Civ. P. 7.1, and Fed. R. Crim. P. 12.4, and other considerations which require judges to avoid

identifying all parent companies, subsidiaries, partners, limited liability entity members and

managers, trustees (but not trust beneficiaries), affiliates, or similar entities that could potentially

pose a financial or professional conflict for a judge. The statement shall be filed with a party’s first

appearance. If there are no reportable relationships, that fact shall be certified in the filing. 

2. In addition to this requirement which applies to all cases, all bankruptcy appeals shall be

accompanied by a statement identifying the debtor, the members of creditors’ committee, any entity

which is an active participant in the proceedings, and other entities whose stock or equity value may

be substantially affected by the outcome of the proceedings.

3. It is the responsibility of each party to a case to file a supplemental disclosure statement

if, during the pendency of the case, additional reportable entities develop that would have been

reportable initially.
