unsworn declarations to substitute for an affiant’s oath if the statement is made “under penalty of perjury” and verified as “true and correct.” Nissho-Iwai Am. Corp. v. Kline, 845 F.2d 1300, 1306 (5th Cir.1988). In the instant case, Appellants submitted a declaration, to which they attached their amended complaint, in opposition to Appellee’s motion for summary judgment that satisfied the statutory requirements. The declaration stated that the facts in the amended complaint were true and correct and that Appellants signed under penalty of perjury. Fifteen of the sixteen added plaintiffs signed and dated the declaration. The declaration meets the requirements of the statute and is therefore competent summary judgment evidence. See Hart v. Hairston, 343 F.3d 762, 765 (5th Cir.2003) (<HOLDING>). In their amended complaint, Appellants
