October 31, 2022 Filing 18 RESPONSE TO ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE Dated October 24, 2022 re 17 by Defendants Evolve Vacation Rental Network, Inc., Jerry Vaughn. (Attachments: #1 Exhibit A- Secretary of State Info)(Jones, Christopher)
October 24, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 17 DISCHARGED ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE returnable October 31, 2022. The Court has a duty to sua sponte consider its subject matter jurisdiction. Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(h). Defendants' Notice of Removal states that Evolve Vacation Rental Network is a limited liability company (ECF No. 1 at 3), and alleges that the Court has jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1332 based on the diversity of the parties. Defendant fails, however, to establish the citizenship of each and every member of Evolve Vacation Rental Network, LLC. 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 Evolve Vacation Rental Network, LLC. Accordingly, Defendants are ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE, by October 31, 2022, 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 10/24/2022. Text Only Entry (wjmsec, ) Modified on 11/3/2022 to discharge pursuant to 21 Order (trvo, ).
