March 11, 2024 Opinion or Order Filing 19 ENDORSED ORDER. Defendant's Notice of Removal incorrectly relies on the parties' residence to establish diversity jurisdiction.

By March 18, 2024, Defendant must SUPPLEMENT his Notice of Removal to show cause why this action should not be remanded for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction.
