August 19, 2026 Opinion or Order Filing 5 MINUTE ORDER: Plaintiffs filed this case in federal court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1332(a). See ECF 1. Under Fed. R. Civ. P. 7.1, each party in such actions must file a disclosure statement to "name and identify the citizenship of every individual or entity whose citizenship is attributed to that party." Fed. R. Civ. P. 7.1(a)(2). This statement is to be filed "when the action is filed in... federal court," Fed. R. Civ. P. 7.1(a)(2)(A), or at the time of the party's "first appearance, pleading, petition, motion, response, or other request addressed to the court." Fed. R. Civ. P. 7.1(b)(1). In the Complaint, Plaintiffs state they reside and own property in Colorado. ECF 1 at 1. However, residency is not the same as citizenship. See 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.")

Additionally, Defendant shall file a Rule 7.1 disclosure statement within seven (7) days of entering an appearance. By Magistrate Judge Maritza Dominguez Braswell on 8/19/2026.
