April 4, 2024 Opinion or Order Filing 4 MINUTE ORDER by Chief Judge Philip A. Brimmer on 4/4/2024. The complaint asserts that defendants are "residents of the state of California, with an address of 2013 Cedar Pine Lane, Big Bear City, California 92314." Docket No. 1 at 2. Residency, however, is not the equivalent of citizenship. Whitelock v. Leatherman, 460 F.2d 507, 514 (10th Cir. 1972) ("allegations of mere 'residence' may not be equated with citizenship for the purposes of establishing diversity."). Based on plaintiff's representation that the Court has diversity jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1332, Docket No. #1 at 1, Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 7.1(a)(2) requires that each party file a disclosure of its citizenship. Rule 7.1, as amended in December 2022, states that, "[i]n an action in which jurisdiction is based on diversity under 28 U.S.C. 1332(a), a party... must, unless the court orders otherwise, file a disclosure statement. The statement must name and identify the citizenship of every individual or entity whose citizenship is attributed to that party... when the action is filed in or removed to federal court." Fed. R. Civ. P. 7.1(a)(2). "For purposes of federal diversity jurisdiction, an individual's state citizenship is equivalent to domicile." Smith v. Cummings, 445 F.3d 1254, 1259 (10th Cir. 2006). "To establish domicile in a particular state, a person must be physically present in the state and intend to remain there." Id. at 1260. On or before April 11, 2024, defendants Lisa Cabrera and Jonathan Cabrera shall file disclosure statements in accordance with Rule 7.1 identifying their citizenship at the time of filing.
