Date Filed Document Text
February 22, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 16 ORDER: Defendants have filed a third amended notice of removal, but that notice formally withdraws the request for removal to this court. Defendants report that they "disagree with the Court's interpretation of the case law for requesting this full line of membership" of the party LLCs. The court believes its ruling is dictated by Seventh Circuit authority stating that "an LLC's jurisdictional statement must identify the citizenship of each of its members as of the date the complaint or notice of removal was filed, and, if those members have members, the citizenship of those members as well." Thomas v. Guardsmark, LLC, 486 F.3d 531 (7th Cir. 2007). This case is remanded to the Circuit Court of Cook County. Civil case terminated. Signed by the Honorable Rebecca R. Pallmeyer on 2/22/2019.Mailed notice (smm, )
