Defendant states that "upon information and belief" Plaintiff was and is an Illinois citizen. Defendant is reminded that allegations of citizenship based on "information and belief" are insufficient to establish diversity jurisdiction in the Seventh Circuit. See Brickstructures, Inc. v. Coaster Dynamix, Inc., 2017 WL 4310671, at *1 (N.D. Ill. Sept. 28, 2017); Ferolie Corp. v. Advantage Sales & Mktg., LLC, 2004 WL 2433114, at *1 (N.D. Ill. Oct. 28, 2004). On or before 10/1/20, Defendant shall file a jurisdictional supplement, as a separate docket entry, confirming Plaintiff's citizenship. Failure to file may result in the case being dismissed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction or sua sponte remanded. The Court sets the following briefing schedule on Defendant's motion to dismiss #5 : Plaintiff's response brief is due 10/7/20. Defendant's reply brief due 10/21/20. In addition, on or before 10/28/20, the parties shall file a joint initial status report.
