June 28, 2021 Filing 27 Minute Entry for proceedings held before Judge Thomas O. Farrish: Telephonic Pre-Settlement Conference held on 6/28/2021. Time 10 minutes (Wood, R.)
June 28, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 26 ORDER: A settlement conference is scheduled on August 9, 2021 at 1:00 p.m. with Judge Farrish. Please see attached order for important instructions. Signed by Judge Thomas O. Farrish on 6/28/21.(Wood, R.)
June 21, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 24 ORDER: Telephonic pre-settlement conference set for June 28, 2021 at 2:00 p.m. before Judge Thomas O. Farrish. Please call in to the Court's conference call line at 1-888-557-8511 and enter the pass code of 4478772# when prompted. A date for the settlement conference will be set during the telephone call. Because the parties will likely be ordered to attend the conference, either in-person or via videoconference, counsel are instructed to obtain their client's schedules over the next ninety days and have them available during the pre-conference. Counsel should also have their own calendars available to aid in scheduling. During the telephone call, counsel should be prepared to discuss what, if any, information needs to be exchanged and anything else that needs to be accomplished prior to the settlement conference to maximize its chances of success. If either counsel has a firm, unavoidable conflict at the appointed date and time, e.g., a previously-scheduled appearance in another court, s/he should not file a motion for continuance on the docket but rather should call Chambers at 860-240-3605 as soon as possible with opposing counsel on the line to work out an alternate day and time for the pre-conference with Judge Farrish's law clerk. Signed by Judge Thomas O. Farrish on 6/21/21.(Wood, R.)

June 9, 2021 Filing 18 NOTICE of Appearance by Justin E. Theriault on behalf of Kyocera Document Solutions of New England, Inc. (Theriault, Justin)
June 8, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 17 ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE: In its Notice of Removal ("Notice") (Doc. No. 1), Defendant Kyocera Document Solutions of New England, Inc. ("Kyocera") states that it is a Massachusetts corporation with "a" principal place of business in Massachusetts. Notice at para. 5. In light of Plaintiff Bobby Wilson's ("Wilson") allegation that Kyocera has "a Connecticut place of business," Complaint at para. 3 (Doc. No. 1-1), Kyocera's use of the indefinite article "a" causes the court to question whether the principal place of business for Kyocera is located in Massachusetts. See Hertz Corp. v. Friend, 559 U.S. 77, 93 (2010) ("A corporation's 'nerve center,' usually its main headquarters, is a single place."). Further, the Notice alleges that Wilson is a "resident of Connecticut." Notice at para. 4. However, domicile-not residence-determines an individual's citizenship for the purposes of diversity jurisdiction. Palazzo ex rel. Delmage v. Corio, 232 F.3d 38, 42 (2d Cir. 2000). Finally, the Notice alleges that "[t]he matter in controversy is alleged to exceed the sum or value of $75,000." Notice at para. 7. However, Wilson's Complaint merely states that "[t]he amount in demand exceeds $15,000", without alleging salary or other information from which the court could reasonably infer that the matter exceeds $75,000. Complaint at 6.In light of the foregoing, the defendant is hereby ORDERED to show in supplemental briefing by June 15, 2021, that diversity of citizenship exists between the parties and that the amount in controversy exceeds $75,000. Plaintiff will have 7 days from the date of the defendant's filing to submit any response. SO ORDERED by Judge Janet C. Hall on 6/8/2021. (Show Cause Response due by 6/15/2021) (DeRubeis, B.)
