STIPULATIONS

(a) (b) (c) Stipulations relating to proceedings before the court, except stipulations made in open court that are noted in the clerk’s minutes or the court reporter’s notes, must be in writing and signed by all parties who have appeared or their attorneys. No stipulations relating to proceedings before the court, except those set forth in Fed. R. Civ. P. 29, are effective until approved by the court. A stipulation that has been signed by fewer than all the parties or their attorneys will be treated—and must be filed—as a joint motion. (d) The clerk has authority to approve the stipulations described in LR 77-1.

(e) Stipulations must be in the form required by LR IA 6-2. LR 7.1-1. CERTIFICATE OF INTERESTED PARTIES (a) Unless the court orders otherwise, in all cases except habeas corpus cases, pro se parties and attorneys for private non-governmental parties must identify in the disclosure statement all persons, associations of persons, firms, partnerships or corporations (including parent corporations) that have a direct, pecuniary interest in the outcome of the case. The disclosure statement must include the following certification: The undersigned, pro se party or attorney of record for _________, certifies that the following may have a direct, pecuniary interest in the outcome of this case: (here list the names of all such parties and identify their connection and interests.) These representations are made to enable judges of the court to evaluate possible disqualifications or recusal.

Signature, Pro Se Party or Attorney of Record for ___________. 38 (b) (c) If there are no known interested parties other than those participating in the case, a statement to that effect will satisfy this rule. A party must file its disclosure statement with its first appearance, pleading, petition, motion, response, or other request addressed to the court. A party must promptly file a supplemental certification upon any change in the information that this rule requires.
