`
`no more than 7,500 words and to address in their briefing, among other things, the
`
`following questions:

`
`Order Regarding Disclosure Statements Required by Federal Rule of
`
`Civil Procedure 7.1?
`
`2. Without knowing the identity of the true owners of VLSI, how can the

`
`3. Without knowing the identity of the true owners of VLSI, how can the
`
`Court assure itself that its presiding over the case will not create an
`
`appearance of impropriety?
`
`4. Should the Court dismiss the case because of VLSI's failure to provide
`
`the inf01mation required by the Court' s April 18, 2022 Standing Order
`
`Regarding Disclosure Statements Required by Federal Rule of Civil
`
`Procedure 7 .1 ? See Doe v. Megless, 654 F .3d 404, 412 (3d Cir. 20 11 );
`
`see also Cowley v. Pulsifer, 137 Mass. 392,394 (1884) (Holmes, J.) (" It
`
`is desirable that the trial of causes should take place under the public eye,
`
`not because the controversies of one citizen with another are of public
`
`concern, but because it is of the highest moment that those who
`
`administer justice should always act under the sense of public
`
`responsibility, and that every citizen should be able to satisfy himself
`
`with his own eyes as to the mode in which a public duty is performed.").
