Filing 15
MINUTE ORDER by Chief Judge Philip A. Brimmer on 12/18/2025. The Notice of Removal asserts that "Plaintiffs are domiciled in Colorado" and cites the complaint. Docket No. #1 at 2. The complaint does not state that all plaintiffs are domiciled in Colorado. Rather, the complaint states that some plaintiffs are citizens of Mexico and others are citizens of the U.S. Docket No. #6 at 3. As relevant here, the complaint alleges that plaintiffs Martinez and Arellano are citizens of the United States and residents of Colorado. Id. 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 defendants' representation that the Court has diversity jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1332, Docket No. #1 at 2, 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)(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. On or before December 23, 2025, plaintiffs Ivon Gonzalez Martinez and Alexandra Castruita Arellano shall file a disclosure statement in accordance with Rule 7.1 identifying their citizenship at the time of removal.
