ORDER: Upon initial review of the complaint #1 , it appears that subject matter jurisdiction in this Court is lacking. The case presents a situation in which citizens of a foreign state are suing a combination of citizens of the United States and a foreign state. "In cases where a foreign citizen alone is suing both a foreign citizen and a citizen of a U.S. state in diversity, a federal court has no original jurisdiction. 28 U.S.C. 1332(a) does not grant it." Baylay v. Etihad Airways P.J.S.C., 881 F.3d 1032, 1041 (7th Cir.), reh'g denied (Mar. 7, 2018), cert. denied, 139 S. Ct. 175, 202 L. Ed. 2d 38 (2018); see also, e.g., Allendale Mut. Ins. v. Bull Data Sys., Inc., 10 F.3d 425, 428 (7th Cir. 1993) ("The point was not so much that there were foreigners on both sides," but "that there was no [United States] citizen on one side, which took it out of [28 U.S.C. 1332(a)(3)]."). Accordingly, if the plaintiffs seek to move forward with this case in a U.S. federal court, they are required to either (1) file an amended complaint properly invoking the Court's original subject matter jurisdiction; or (2) file a brief explaining why the present complaint properly invokes this Court's original subject matter jurisdiction. Alternatively, the plaintiffs may dismiss this action without prejudice to its refiling in a court that may assert jurisdiction over the claims. Plaintiffs are directed to take one of these actions no later than July 19, 2019. In the event that the plaintiffs submit a brief, copies must be served on the defendants, who shall have until August 2, 2019 to respond. Any response by a defendant shall not be deemed to waive any defense or claim otherwise available, including without limitation, any personal jurisdiction defense. Signed by the Honorable John J. Tharp, Jr on 6/27/2019. Mailed notice. (kp, )
