O R D E R
The Court record reflects that Defendant Terrascapes, LLC has filed a “Corporate
Disclosure Statement” [Doc. No. 9] that fails to comply with the requirements of Fed. R.
Civ. P. 7.1 and LCvR 7.1.1. The Court reminds counsel that a disclosure statement “must
name—and identify the citizenship of—every individual or entity whose citizenship is
attributed to that party.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 7.1(a)(2); see also LCvR7.1.1 (“If any party has
invoked federal jurisdiction on the basis of diversity of citizenship with the LLC or
partnership, the disclosure statement shall also affirmatively state whether any of the
members or partners are citizens of the adversary’s alleged state of citizenship.”); Gerson
v. Logan River Acad., 20 F.4th 1263, 1269 n. 2 (10th Cir. 2021) (“[W]here an LLC has, as
one of its members, another LLC, the citizenship of unincorporated associations must be
traced through however many layers of partners or members there may be to determine the
citizenship of the LLC.” (internal quotation marks and citation omitted)). Accordingly,
