August 12, 2019 Filing 9 RESPONSE to 8 Order,,,,,,,,, to Show Cause by Defendants Leshell K Pat, Pepperoni Brothers LLC. (Vaughan, Gordon)
August 8, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 8 ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE returnable August 13, 2019. The Court has a duty to sua sponte consider its subject matter jurisdiction. Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(h)(3). Defendants' Notice of Removal alleges that the Court has jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1332 based on the diversity of the parties, including Defendant Pepperoni Brothers, LLC, which is identified as a limited liability company. The Court must consider the citizenship of all members of the LLC in determining whether diversity jurisdiction exists. See Siloam Springs Hotel, L.L.C. v. Century Sur. Co., 781 F.3d 1233, 1237 (10th Cir. 2015) ("only those state-created entities that are corporations, in the traditional understanding of that word, will be treated as a person for purposes of diversity jurisdiction"). As Defendants are invoking jurisdiction of the federal court, they bear the burden of establishing that jurisdiction is proper. Merida Delgado v. Gonzales, 428 F.3d 916, 919 (10th Cir. 2005). As filed, Defendants' Notice of Removal is deficient in that it fails to establish the citizenship of every member of Pepperoni Brothers, LLC. Further, to establish subject matter jurisdiction under 1332 the party invoking federal jurisdiction must show the amount in controversy exceeds $75,000. Radil v. Sanborn W. Camps, Inc., 384 F.3d 1220, 1225 (10th Cir. 2004), and the Court "must rigorously enforce Congress' intent to restrict federal jurisdiction in controversies between citizens of different states." Martin v. Franklin Capital Corp., 251 F.3d 1284, 1289 (10th Cir. 2001), abrogated on other grounds by Dart Cherokee Basin Operating Co., LLC v. Owens, 135 S. Ct. 547 (2014). Here, Defendants' Notice of Removal asserts that the state-court civil cover sheet claims more than $100,000 in damages, but Defendants do not attach that cover sheet. Accordingly, Defendants are ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE, by August 13, 2019, as to why the Court should not on its own motion remand this action to state court based on Defendants' failure to allege facts sufficient to show that the Court has diversity jurisdiction over this matter. SO ORDERED by Judge William J. Martinez on 8/8/2019. Text Only Entry (wjmsec, )
