MINUTE ORDER by Judge Stanley Blumenfeld, Jr.: The Court on 10/1/2021, set a show cause hearing for 10/22/2021 on the issue of whether the case should be remanded for lack of subject matter jurisdiction and ordered that "[b]oth parties shall file written responses to this OSC no later than 10/13/2021, stating their positions as to whether the parties are diverse and the amount in controversy exceeds $75,000" #31 . Plaintiff failed to state his position on the issues ordered by the Court, namely, (1) whether the parties are diverse and (2) whether the amount in controversy exceeds $75,000. Instead, Plaintiff focused exclusively on whether Defendant's notice of removal adequately met Defendant's burden of establishing subject matter jurisdiction. By failing to state his position on the two requirements for diversity jurisdiction, Plaintiff has disregarded the Court's order. Accordingly,Plaintiff no later than noon on 10/18/2021 shall file a supplemental response stating (1) in what state Plaintiff contends he is domiciled, (2) what basis, if any, Plaintiff has for believing that diversity is not complete, and (3) whether Plaintiff seeks to recover damages that may exceed $75,000. Plaintiff is cautioned that further disregard for the Court's orders may result in sanctions. Court Reporter: N/A. (gk)
