May 15, 2015 Opinion or Order Filing 36 Order filed (DIARMUID F. O'SCANNLAIN, SANDRA S. IKUTA and LARRY A. BURNS): East Bay Law failed to plead subject matter jurisdiction properly in its original complaint. Its allegation of diverse reside[ncy] is not enough to establish diversity jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. 1332. See Kanter v. WarnerLambert Co., 265 F.3d 853, 857 (9th Cir. 2001). As East Bay Law has also failed to correct such defect in response to this Courts order of April 8, 2015, the district courts judgment below is VACATED and the matter is REMANDED with instructions that the case be DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE for lack of jurisdiction. See Morongo Band of Mission Indians v. Cal. State Bd. of Equalization, 858 F.2d 1376, 1386 (9th Cir. 1988). [9539131] (AF) [Entered: 05/15/2015 10:48 AM]

April 8, 2015 Filing 32 Filed clerk order (Deputy Clerk: SM): East Bay Law is ordered to file an amended complaint to this court by May 1, 2015, for the sole purpose of properly alleging diversity of citizenship. See 28 U.S.C. 1653; Snell v. Cleveland, Inc., 316 F.3d 822, 828 (9th Cir. 2002) ([P]ursuant to 1653 we order the pleadings amended, nunc pro tunc, to correct the defective allegations concerning the proper diversity of parties.). In order to avoid dismissal for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, East Bay Law must allege the citizenship of each party as of the date that the complaint was filed. See Kanter v. WarnerLambert Co., 265 F.3d 853, 857 (9th Cir. 2001) (A person residing in a given state is not necessarily domiciled there, and thus is not necessarily a citizen of that state.); see also Johnson v. Columbia Properties Anchorage, LP, 437 F.3d 894, 899 (9th Cir. 2006) (In cases where entities rather than individuals are litigants, diversity jurisdiction depends on the form of the entity.). Alternatively, if East Bay Law cannot allege that the parties are of diverse citizenship, it is ordered to notify the court of such fact by the same date. [9488947] (SAM) [Entered: 04/08/2015 04:50 PM]
