| Filing 4 Plaintiffs' FIRST AMENDED complaint by Michelle Havens, Elsie Wilkerson against Instant Brands, Inc., Instant Brands LLC (Attachments: #1 Exhibit A)(McNulty, Shannon) |
| Filing 3 MINUTE entry before the Honorable John J. Tharp, Jr: The complaint #1 is dismissed without prejudice for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. The complaint asserts jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1332(d); however, it does not allege the defendant's state of incorporation or its principal place of business. Both must be alleged to establish the defendant's citizenship. The complaint does allege that the defendant's headquarters are located in Illinois, Compl. 11; however, "what matters for the citizenship of a corporation is its state of incorporation and its principal place of business, not its 'headquarters.'" Dalton v. Teva N. Am., 891 F.3d 687, 690 (7th Cir. 2018). Accordingly, the plaintiff is granted leave to amend by 06/17/2022. Mailed notice (air, ) |
