Rule 26.1.
Disclosure Statement
(a)
Nongovernmental Corporations.
Any nongovernmental corporation that is a party to a proceeding in a court of appeals must file a statement that identifies any parent corporation and any publicly held corporation that owns 10% or more of its stock or states that there is no such corporation. The same requirement applies to a nongovernmental corporation that seeks to intervene.
(b)
Organizational Victims in Criminal Cases.
In a criminal case, unless the government shows good cause, it must file a statement that identifies any organizational victim of the alleged criminal activity. If the organizational victim is a corporation, the statement must also disclose the information required by Rule 26.1(a) to the extent it can be obtained through due diligence.
(c)
Bankruptcy Cases.
In a bankruptcy case, the debtor, the trustee, or, if neither is a party, the appellant must file a statement that:
(1)
identifies each debtor not named in the caption; and
(2)
for each debtor that is a corporation, discloses the information required by Rule 26.1(a).
(d)
Time for Filing; Supplemental Filing.
The Rule 26.1 statement must:
(1)
be filed with the principal brief or upon filing a motion, response, petition, or answer in the court of appeals, whichever occurs first, unless a local rule requires earlier filing;
(2)
be included before the table of contents in the principal brief; and
(3)
be supplemented whenever the information required under Rule 26.1 changes.
(e)
Number of Copies.
If the Rule 26.1 statement is filed before the principal brief, or if a supplemental statement is filed, an original and 3 copies must be filed unless the court requires a different number by local rule or by order in a particular case.
