MINUTE ORDER by Judge Philip A. Brimmer on 6/5/2026. The Notice of Removal states that plaintiff Tarp & Restoration Geeks, LLC a/a/o Miguel A. Martines and Leticia G. Ramirez ("Tarp & Restoration Geeks") is a Colorado citizen because it was organized in Colorado and has its principal place of business in Colorado. Docket No. #1 at 2. However, the citizenship of a limited liability company is determined, not by its state of organization or principal place of business, but by the citizenship of all of its members. See Siloam Springs Hotel, LLC v. Century Sur. Co., 781 F.3d 1233, 1237-38 (10th Cir. 2015) ("[I]n determining the citizenship of an unincorporated association for purposes of diversity, federal courts must include all the entities' members."). Based on defendant's 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). On or before June 19, 2026, plaintiff Tarp & Restoration Geeks shall file a disclosure statement in accordance with Rule 7.1 identifying the names and citizenship of each of its members at the time of removal.
