August 3, 2026 Opinion or Order Filing 8 MINUTE ORDER by Judge Philip A. Brimmer on 8/3/2026. The notice of removal asserts that plaintiff is a citizen of Colorado and cites the complaint. Docket No. #1 at 3. The complaint states that plaintiff is a resident of Colorado. Docket No. #4 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"). "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). Based on defendant's representation that the Court has diversity jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1332, Docket No. #1 at 3, 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 re0moved to federal court." Fed. R. Civ. P. 7.1(a)(2)(A). On or before August 10, 2026, plaintiff shall file a disclosure statement in accordance with Rule 7.1 identifying her citizenship at the time of removal and at the time this case was filed.
