Filing 12
ORDER: In the present case, appellants state that this case was removed to federal court based on the Class Action Fairness Act. See 28 U.S.C. 1332(d). Appellants' Circuit Rule 3(c) docketing statement, however, fails to identify the state of citizenship of at least one defendant; it is insufficient to state that defendant Bateman is not a citizen of Illinois. Further, appellants must state the amount in controversy. Accordingly, appellants shall file a complete statement of jurisdiction that includes the omitted information. The statement is due on or before August 24, 2023. (See order for further details.) DW [12] [7330313] [23-2507] (AD) [Entered: 08/17/2023 02:59 PM]
