MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: Although the jurisdictional inquiry appears to be satisfied by the Amended Complaint, the allegation on the membership of the LLC is alleged on "information and belief," so it must be verified after Defendants appear in the case.

Filing 6
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: Upon review of the complaint, the Court orders the following jurisdictional inquiry. Plaintiff's complaint relies on diversity jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. 1332(a). The complaint alleges that Plaintiff Solidarity Limited is a Hong Kong corporation with its principal place of business located in Hong Kong. R. 1, Compl. 1. The complaint then alleges that defendants James Cioni, Jeffrey Cioni, and David Brittsan are Illinois citizens residing in Illinois, and that defendant JeffEx LLC is a dissolved Illinois limited liability company. Id. at 2-5. But an LLC's citizenship for purposes of diversity jurisdiction depends on the citizenship of its members. Wise v. Wachovia Securities, LLC, 450 F.3d 265, 267 (7th Cir. 2006) (discussing citizenship of LLCs). There is no allegation in the complaint identifying all of the members of the defendant-LLC or their citizenship. Accordingly, on or before 03/23/2020, Plaintiff must either file an amended complaint fixing this problem, or otherwise file a memorandum explaining why the current complaint sufficiently alleges jurisdiction. Mailed notice (mw, )

Plaintiff must still file the report even if not all Defendants have been served or have responded to requests to craft a joint report. Because the Procedures are occasionally revised, counsel must read them anew even if counsel has appeared before Judge Chang in other cases.
