| Filing 18 MOTION by Plaintiffs Hanover Park, LP, JSP Bolingbrook I, LP, Standard CN Owner, Standard CS Owner, LLC, Standard Forest Owner, LLC, Standard Liberty Venture, LP, Standard Lilac Venture, LP, Standard Maple Owner, LLC, Standard Ridgewood Venture, LP, Standard Walsh Owner, LLC, Standard Westwind Venture, LP, Standard Westwood Venture, LP, Standard Wolford Owner, LLC for extension of time PLAINTIFFS' AGREED MOTION TO EXTEND CASE MANAGEMENT AND FILING DEADLINES (Ives, Erik) |
| Filing 17 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: The Court sets a briefing schedule on Defendants' motion to dismiss (Dckt. No. #14 ). Plaintiff shall file a response by January 8, 2021. Defendants shall file a reply by January 22, 2021. Mailed notice. (jjr, ) |
| Filing 16 APPENDIX Motion to Dismiss for Failure to State a Claim, #14 ICompendium of Decisions from Lexis City in Motion) (Attachments: #1 Exhibit 1, #2 Exhibit 2, #3 Exhibit 3, #4 Exhibit 4, #5 Exhibit 5, #6 Exhibit 6, #7 Exhibit 7, #8 Exhibit 8, #9 Exhibit 9, #10 Exhibit 10, #11 Exhibit 11, #12 Exhibit 12, #13 Exhibit 13, #14 Exhibit 14)(Blum, Michelle) |
| Filing 15 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: The Court reviewed the complaint and the motion to dismiss (Dckt. No. #14 ). The complaint invokes this Court's diversity jurisdiction. Plaintiffs are 13 LLC and LLPs. The complaint includes more than a dozen pages of jurisdictional allegations, but given the number of entities, the information is not as digestible and user-friendly as it needs to be. By December 14, 2020, Plaintiffs shall file a user-friendly chart that establishes the citizenship of each plaintiff, one by one. For each individual plaintiff, the chart must identify all of its members or partners by name, and must reveal the citizenship of those entities. If any of those members or partners, in turn, is an LLC or an LLP, then the chart must identify their members and partners and reveal their citizenship. See Mut. Assignment & Indem. Co. v. Lind-Waldock & Co., LLC, 364 F.3d 858, 861 (7th Cir. 2004); Meyerson v. Showboat Marina Casino Partnership, 312 F.3d 318, 320 (7th Cir. 2002). The Court reminds Plaintiffs that they must identify the members and partners by name. See Thomas v. Guardsmark, LLC, 487 F.3d 531, 534 (7th Cir. 2007) ("[A]n 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."). Simply stating that no party is from "X" state, or that all members and partners are from "Y and Z" states, is not good enough. See Guar. Nat'l Title Co., Inc. v. J.E.G. Assocs., 101 F.3d 57, 58-59 (7th Cir. 1996). The Court also reminds Plaintiffs that the principal place of business for an LLC or an LLP (unlike a corporation) does not matter for purposes of diversity jurisdiction, so the chart should not include that information. Failure to comply may lead to dismissal. Mailed notice. (jjr, ) (Modified on 12/3/2020) (jjr, ). |
