June 3, 2024 Opinion or Order Filing 9 ORDER: The amended docketing statement of appellant filed on June 3, 2024, does not comply with this courts May 21, 2024, order, which requested that appellant provide a complete statement of jurisdiction. Specifically, Circuit Rule 3(c)(1), referencing Circuit Rule 28(a), requires an appellant to file a docketing statement that provides information concerning the district courts jurisdiction. If jurisdiction depends on diversity, the statement must identify the jurisdictional amount and the citizenship of each party to the litigation. If any party is a corporation, the rule specifically requires an appellant to identify both the state of incorporation and the state in which the corporation has its principal place of business. And if any party is an unincorporated association or partnership, the statement must identify the citizenship of all members. In the present case, appellant relies on diversity of citizenship for federal jurisdiction and describes defendant Wendys Properties, LLC, as a corporation. A corporation and a limited liability company are two different things. A limited liability company is not incorporated and so for purposes of diversity jurisdiction has the citizenship of its members. See Hicklin Engineering, L.C. v. Bartell, 439 F.3d 346, 347-48 (7th Cir. 2006). And the citizenship of such an unincorporated association must be traced through however many layers of members there may be. See Meyerson v. Harrahs East Chicago Casino, 299 F.3d 616, 617 (7th Cir. 2002). Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that appellant shall file a second amended docketing statement that provides a complete statement of jurisdiction that clarifies whether Wendys Properties, LLC, is in fact a corporation or a limited liability company, as its name suggests, and if it is a limited liability company, includes the omitted information regarding the citizenship of its members. The statement is due on or before June 10, 2024. JXK [9] [7385856] [24-1886] (ER) [Entered: 06/03/2024 11:38 AM]
