           Plaintiff,

   v.                                                            Case No: 8:20-cv-1003-T-35CPT

                                   INTERESTED PERSONS ORDER
                                        FOR CIVIL CASES

           This Court makes an active effort to screen every case in order to identify parties

   and interested corporations in which any assigned judge may be a shareholder, as well

   as for other matters that might require consideration of recusal. It is therefore

           ORDERED that, within fourteen days1 from the date of this order (or from the date

   of subsequent first appearance2 in this action), each party, pro se party, governmental

   party, intervenor, non-party movant, and Rule 69 garnishee shall file and serve a

   CERTIFICATE OF INTERESTED PERSONS AND CORPORATE DISCLOSURE STATEMENT in the

   following form:




   1If this order was served by mail, add three days to the prescribed period.
                                                                             Fed.R.Civ.P. 6. Service
by facsimile constitutes a method of hand delivery for the purpose of computing the time within which
any response is required. Local Rule 1.07(c).
   2Every pleading or paper filed constitutes a general appearance of the party unless otherwise

specified. Local Rule 2.03 (a).

                            CERTIFICATE OF INTERESTED PERSONS
                           AND CORPORATE DISCLOSURE STATEMENT

            I hereby disclose the following pursuant to this Court’s interested persons
   order:

   1.)    the name of each person, attorney, association of persons, firm, law firm,
   partnership, and corporation that has or may have an interest in the outcome of
   this action — including subsidiaries, conglomerates, affiliates, parent
   corporations, publicly-traded companies that own 10% or more of a party’s stock,
   and all other identifiable legal entities related to any party in the case:

                 [insert list]

   2.)  the name of every other entity whose publicly-traded stock, equity, or debt
   may be substantially affected by the outcome of the proceedings:

                 [insert list]

   3.)    the name of every other entity which is likely to be an active participant in
   the proceedings, including the debtor and members of the creditors’ committee
   (or twenty largest unsecured creditors) in bankruptcy cases:

                 [insert list]

   4.)     the name of each victim (individual or corporate) of civil and criminal
   conduct alleged to be wrongful, including every person who may be entitled to
   restitution:

                 [insert list]

          I hereby certify that, except as disclosed above, I am unaware of any
   actual or potential conflict of interest involving the district judge and magistrate
   judge assigned to this case, and will immediately notify the Court in writing on
   learning of any such conflict.

   [Date]                              _____________________________
                                       [Counsel of Record or Pro Se Party]
                                                 [Address and Telephone]
   [Certificate of Service]

        It is FURTHER ORDERED that no party may seek discovery from any source

 before filing and serving a CERTIFICATE OF INTERESTED PERSONS AND CORPORATE

 DISCLOSURE STATEMENT. A motion, memorandum, response, or other paper — including

 emergency motion — may be denied or stricken unless the filing party has previously

 filed and served its CERTIFICATE OF INTERESTED PERSONS AND CORPORATE DISCLOSURE

 STATEMENT.

        FURTHER ORDERED that each party has a continuing obligation to file and serve

 an amended CERTIFICATE          OF   INTERESTED PERSONS       AND    CORPORATE DISCLOSURE

 STATEMENT within fourteen days of 1) discovering any ground for amendment, including

 notice of case reassignment to a different judicial officer; or 2) discovering any ground for

 recusal or disqualification of a judicial officer. A party should not routinely list an assigned

 district judge or magistrate judge as an “interested person” absent some non-judicial

 interest.

        FURTHER ORDERED that, in order to assist the Court in determining when a

 conflict of interest may exist, particularly when ruling on matters formally assigned to

 another judge, each party shall use the full caption of the case — including the names of

 all parties and intervenors — on all motions, memoranda, papers, and proposed orders

 submitted to the Clerk. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 10(a); Local Rule 1.05(b) (“et al.” discouraged).

        DONE AND ORDERED in Tampa, Florida, this 4th day of May, 2020.
