P. 72(a) and (b), this case is referred to the assigned United States Magistrate Judge to (1) convene a scheduling conference under Fed. R. Civ.

Filing 17 STATEMENT re #13 Statement FED.R.CIV.P. 7.1 AMENDED CITIZENSHIP DISCLOSURE STATEMENT by Plaintiffs Raul De Luna, Socorro Garcia. (Testolin, Ellen) |
Filing 16 MINUTE ORDER by Chief Judge Philip A. Brimmer on 11/14/2024. Both plaintiffs' complaint and defendant's removal notice assert that plaintiffs are residents of Colorado. Docket No. #4 at 1; Docket No. #1 at 2. Plaintiffs' Citizenship Disclosure Statement states the same. Docket No. #13 at 1. 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 defendant'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)(A) 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)(A). "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. Defendant has already met the requirements of Rule 7.1. Docket No. #1 at 3. On or before November 21, 2024, plaintiffs Raul De Luna and Socorro Garcia shall file a disclosure statement in accordance with Rule 7.1 identifying their citizenship at the time this case was removed.
