| Filing 10 AFFIDAVIT of Service filed by Plaintiff People's Capital and Leasing Corp. regarding Summons & Verified Complaint with exhibits served on Marcus Halawai, Jane Doe, co-resident on 9/23/2021 (Libman, Cody) |
| Filing 9 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Mary M. Rowland: Plaintiff having established #8 , at least for pleading purposes, that there is complete diversity, Plaintiff has complied with this Court's orders #3 ; #7 requiring jurisdictional supplements as to subject-matter jurisdiction. Mailed notice. (dm, ) |
| Filing 8 Supplemental Jurisdictional STATEMENT by People's Capital and Leasing Corp. (Attachments: #1 Exhibit A, #2 Exhibit B)(Libman, Cody) |
| Filing 7 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Mary M. Rowland: This Court has reviewed Plaintiff's supplement #6 as to subject matter jurisdiction. Allegations of "negative citizenship" or citizenship of "another state different from the Plaintiff[s]" are insufficient. See Dalton v. Teva N. Am., 891 F.3d 687, 690 (7th Cir. 2018). If Plaintiff cannot ascertain the citizenships of each of the members of Defendant Gallop LLC, it should file a request for limited discovery detailing its reasonable efforts. If Plaintiff fails to file a supplement as to the citizenship of each of the members of Defendant Gallop, LLC by 9/21/21, this case may be dismissed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Mailed notice. (dm, ) |
| Filing 6 Jurisdictional STATEMENT by People's Capital and Leasing Corp. (Libman, Cody) |
| Filing 5 WITHDRAWING Jani K. Mikel as counsel for Plaintiff People's Capital and Leasing Corp. and substituting Cody Daniel Libman as counsel of record (Libman, Cody) |
| Filing 4 ATTORNEY Appearance for Plaintiff People's Capital and Leasing Corp. by Cody Daniel Libman (Libman, Cody) |
| Filing 3 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Mary M. Rowland: In light of Plaintiff's invocation of diversity jurisdiction as the basis for federal jurisdiction, on or before 9/3/21, Plaintiff shall file a jurisdictional supplement, as a separate docket entry. Plaintiff is reminded that for LLCs, the citizenship is the citizenship of each of its members. Thomas v. Guardsmark, LLC, 487 F.3d 531, 534 (7th Cir. 2007). Thus "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." Id. Further, 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); Westfield Ins. Co. v. N. Am. Cent. Sch. Bus Intermediate Holding Co., LLC, 2020 WL 9077412, at *2 (S.D. Ill. Jan. 10, 2020). If Plaintiff fails to file the jurisdictional supplement as directed, the case may be dismissed for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction. Mailed notice. (dm, ) |
