July 21, 2026 Filing 6 NOTICE Fed. R. Civ. P. 7.1(a)(2) Disclosure Statement by Plaintiff Duwane R. Engler Junior (Fadner, Derek)
July 14, 2026 Opinion or Order Filing 5 MINUTE ORDER by Judge Philip A. Brimmer on 7/14/2026. Plaintiff asserts that he is a resident of Colorado. Docket No. #1 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 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 July 21, 2026, plaintiff Duwane R. Engler Junior shall file a disclosure statement in accordance with Rule 7.1 identifying his citizenship at the time this case was filed. Text Only Entry (pabsec, )
