April 20, 2021 Filing 10 Supplemental AMENDED COMPLAINT against All Defendants filed in response to Order Granting Motion for Leave, filed by Quantum - Village Royale Condominium Association, Inc..(Houman, Nicole)
April 19, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 9 PAPERLESS ORDER REQUIRING SUPPLEMENT. On April 5, 2021, Defendant Rockhill Insurance Company removed this action on the basis of diversity jurisdiction. (DE #1 ). Thereafter, Plaintiff filed an Amended Complaint that names two additional Defendants. (DE #8 ). "If after removal the plaintiff seeks to join additional defendants whose joinder would destroy subject matter jurisdiction, the court may deny joinder, or permit joinder and remand the action to the State court." 28 U.S.C. 1447(e). Because the Amended Complaint does not allege the citizenship of each additional Defendant, I cannot determine whether their joinder would destroy subject matter jurisdiction. Therefore, on or before April 23, 2021, Plaintiff shall file a supplement that provides the proper citizenship of each additional Defendant. Signed by Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks on 4/19/2021. (apo)
April 13, 2021 Filing 8 First AMENDED COMPLAINT against Quantum - Village Royale Condominium Association, Inc., filed by Quantum - Village Royale Condominium Association, Inc..(Houman, Nicole)
April 9, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 7 PAPERLESS ORDER granting in part #6 Defendant's Motion for Extension of Time. Defendant seeks to extend the deadline for it to respond to the Complaint to April 26, 2021, "[d]ue to the impending deadline" and because it "will not prejudice the Plaintiff" (DE #6 ). Motions to extend litigation deadlines must set forth good cause supported by specific facts. Defendant's Motion does not provide the Court with any basis upon which to evaluate whether good cause exists to grant the requested relief. Nevertheless, I will grant the Motion in part because it is unopposed. Accordingly, the deadline for Defendant to respond to the Complaint is extended to April 16, 2021. Future requests for extensions will be denied unless the moving party can establish that a particular deadline could not be met despite diligent efforts. Signed by Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks on 4/9/2021. (apo)

April 7, 2021 Filing 5 Corporate Disclosure Statement by Rockhill Insurance Company identifying Corporate Parent Rockhill Holding Company, Corporate Parent State Automobile Mutual Insurance Company, Other Affiliate State Auto Insurance Group, Other Affiliate State Auto Financial Corporation for Rockhill Insurance Company (Renella, Christine)
April 7, 2021 Filing 4 Defendant's AMENDED NOTICE OF REMOVAL against Quantum - Village Royale Condominium Association, Inc., filed by Rockhill Insurance Company. (Attachments: #1 Exhibit A, #2 Exhibit B (State Court Civil Cover Sheet))(Renella, Christine)
April 6, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 3 PAPERLESS ORDER REQUIRING AMENDED NOTICE OF REMOVAL. In its Notice of Removal (DE #1 ), Defendant asserts that this Court has subject matter jurisdiction over this case based on diversity but does not allege the facts necessary to plead diversity. Specifically, the citizenship of a corporation is determined by its state(s) of incorporation and principal place of business. See 28 U.S.C. 1332(c)(1). Although Plaintiff appears to be a corporation, Defendant fails to inform the Court of Plaintiff's state(s) of incorporation and principal place of business, which is necessary to determine Plaintiff's citizenship for purposes of diversity. Therefore, on or before April 9, 2021, Defendant shall file an Amended Notice of Removal that provides Plaintiff's state(s) of incorporation and principal place of business and therefore clearly establishes diversity jurisdiction. Additionally, the state court civil cover sheet relied upon in and attached to the Notice of Removal is incomplete. Thus, Defendant shall ensure that the Amended Notice of Removal attaches a complete copy of the state court civil cover sheet. Signed by Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks on 4/6/2021. (kal)
