August 25, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 8 ORDER. It appears that the #1 complaint does not allege an adequate basis for the Court's subject matter jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. 1332 over all defendants because it does not properly allege complete diversity as to defendants Carrena Property Mgt, LLC, and Carrena Property Management & Realty, LLC. "If subject matter jurisdiction is lacking and no party has called the matter to the court's attention, the court has the duty to dismiss the action sua sponte." Durant, Nichols, Houston, Hodgson & Cortese-Costa P.C. v. Dupont, 565 F.3d 56, 62 (2d Cir. 2009).The complaint identifies defendants Carrena Property Mgt, LLC, and Carrena Property Management & Realty, LLC, each as "a limited liability company existing under the law of the State of Connecticut with its principal place of business and domicile in Connecticut." ECF No. #1 at 2. These statements are insufficient to determine LLC citizenship for diversity purposes because principal place of business, domicile, or state of existence do not determine a LLC's citizenship. "[F]or purposes of diversity jurisdiction, a limited liability company has the citizenship of its membership." Handelsman v. Bedford Vill. Assocs. Ltd. P'ship, 213 F.3d 48, 51-52 (2d Cir. 2000) (internal citations omitted). Plaintiff must state the citizenship of each member of Carrena Property Mgt, LLC, and Carrena Property Management & Realty, LLC. If any member of Carrena Property Mgt, LLC, and Carrena Property Management & Realty, LLC, is itself an LLC, the plaintiff must also state the citizenship of each member of that LLC.Within 14 days, plaintiff shall file a statement adequately setting forth the basis for the Court's jurisdiction, or this case will be dismissed as to defendants Carrena Property Mgt, LLC, and Carrena Property Management & Realty, LLC. Signed by Judge Michael P. Shea on 8/25/2022.(Britt, Joshua)
