Date Filed Document Text
December 29, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 53 ANNUAL REMINDER: Pursuant to #Local Rule 3.2 (Notification of Affiliates)#, any nongovernmental party, other than an individual or sole proprietorship, must file a statement identifying all its affiliates known to the party after diligent review or, if the party has identified no affiliates, then a statement reflecting that fact must be filed. An affiliate is defined as follows: any entity or individual owning, directly or indirectly (through ownership of one or more other entities), 5% or more of a party. The statement is to be electronically filed as a PDF in conjunction with entering the affiliates in CM/ECF as prompted. As a reminder to counsel, parties must supplement their statements of affiliates within thirty (30) days of any change in the information previously reported. This minute order is being issued to all counsel of record to remind counsel of their obligation to provide updated information as to additional affiliates if such updating is necessary. If counsel has any questions regarding this process, this #LINK# will provide additional information. Signed by the Executive Committee on 12/29/2022: Mailed notice. (tg, )
December 9, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 52 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: Plaintiffs' motion for an extension of time (Dckt. No. #49 ) is hereby granted. Plaintiffs seek an extension for the filing of the joint initial status report, because this case is related to another case pending before Judge Coleman (20-cv-4985). They seek an extension to January 5, 2023. The parties must file a motion for reassignment by January 5, 2023. If the parties do not seek reassignment, then they must file a statement on this Court's docket by January 5, 2023, explaining why. The joint initial status report is due by January 5, 2023 (unless they file a motion for reassignment). Mailed notice (jjr, )

November 23, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 46 ATTORNEY Appearance for Defendants William Scherr, Stifel Nicolaus & Company Inc. by Christian Mark Poland (Poland, Christian)
November 22, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 45 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: This Court noticed that Judge Moreno denied all pending motions as moot, given the transfer of the case. By December 6, 2022, the parties must file a joint initial status report. Counsel must read the Standing Order entitled "Initial Status Conferences and Joint Initial Status Reports" on the Court's website. The parties must confer as required by Rule 26(f) about the nature, scope, and duration of discovery. The parties must submit two documents to the Court. First, the parties must file the Joint Initial Status Report under Rule 26(f) on the docket. A Word version of the Joint Initial Status Report is available on the Court's website. All parties must participate in the preparation and filing of the Joint Initial Status Report. The Court requires a joint report, so a filing by one side or the other is not sufficient. Second, the parties must email a Word version of a proposed Scheduling Order under Rule 16(b) to the Court's proposed order inbox. Lead counsel for the parties must participate in filing the initial status report. Plaintiff must serve this Order on all other parties. If the defendant has not been served with process, plaintiff's counsel must contact the Courtroom Deputy at jessica_j_ramos@ilnd.uscourts.gov to reschedule the initial status report deadline. Plaintiff should not file the Joint Initial Status Report before the defendant(s) has been served with process. The parties must discuss settlement in good faith and make a serious attempt to resolve this case amicably. All counsel of record must read and comply with this Court's Standing Orders on its webpage. Please pay special attention to the Standing Orders about Depositions and Discovery. The parties must propose a case calendar, and a schedule for the refiling of any motions (if any), as appropriate. The parties must provide an update on settlement, too. Mailed notice. (jjr, )
November 22, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 44 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: The Court recently received this new case from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. At first blush, the existence of subject matter jurisdiction looks like a tangled mess. By the Court's count, there are 11 plaintiffs and 4 defendants (excluding John and Jane Does). The 11 plaintiffs are LLCs, which raises a wrinkle when it comes to diversity jurisdiction. A limited liability company is a citizen wherever its members are citizens. It makes no difference where a limited liability company is registered, or where it has its principal place of business. For an LLC, the citizenship of its members is all that matters. See Belleville Catering Co. v. Champaign Mkt. Place, LLC, 350 F.3d 691, 692 (7th Cir. 2003); Martin v. Living Essentials, LLC, 653 Fed. Appx. 482, 485 (7th Cir. 2016) ("[T]he home 'base' of a limited liability company, or LLC, is irrelevant, given that an LLC has the citizenship of each of its members."); Thomas v. Guardmark, LLC, 487 F.3d 531, 534 (7th Cir. 2007) ("For diversity jurisdictional purposes, the citizenship of an LLC is the citizenship of each of its members."); Cosgrove v. Bartolotta, 150 F.3d 729, 731 (7th Cir. 1998) ("[T]he citizenship of an LLC for purposes of the diversity jurisdiction is the citizenship of its members."); Fellowes, Inc. v. Changzhou Xinrui Fellowes Office Equip. Co., 759 F.3d 787, 787-88 (7th Cir. 2014). The complaint alleges that Plaintiffs "are "Delaware Incorporated limited liability entities." See Cplt., at 1. That's doubly wrong. A limited liability company isn't "incorporated," because it isn't a corporation. And the place of registration is jurisdictionally irrelevant when it comes to diversity jurisdiction. The complaint also alleges that the members of each of the Plaintiffs "have their residency" in Florida. Id. That's doubly wrong, too. Residency is irrelevant when it comes to citizenship. See RTP LLC v. ORIX Real Estate Capital, Inc., 827 F.3d 689, 692 (7th Cir. 2016) ("Citizenship depends not on residence but on domicile, which means the place where a person intends to live in the long run. It is possible to reside in one state while planning to return to a long-term residence in another state."); Myrick v. Wellpoint, Inc., 764 F.3d 662, 664 (7th Cir. 2014) ("Citizenship means domicile (the person's long-term plan for a state of habitation) rather than just current residence."). And it is not good enough to adopt a take-our-word-for-it approach to federal jurisdiction. A plaintiff must identify each member of the LLC by name, and must identify the citizenship of that person or entity. See West v. Louisville Gas & Elec. Co., 951 F.3d 827, 829 (7th Cir. 2020) ("We've held repeatedly that there's no such thing as a [state name here] partnership or LLC, that only the partners' or members' citizenships matter, and that their identities and citizenships must be revealed.") (brackets and emphasis in original); West, 951 F.3d at 829 ("We do not blithely accept assurances along the lines of 'no one on our side is a citizen of the opposing litigant's state.'"); Guar. Nat'l Title Co., Inc. v. J.E.G. Assocs., 101 F.3d 57, 58-59 (7th Cir. 1996); America's Best Inns, Inc. v. Best Inns of Abilene, LP, 980 F.2d 1072, 1073 (7th Cir. 1992) ("[N]either of the affidavits identifies the limited partners at the time the complaint was filed. It is impossible to determine diversity of citizenship without knowing who the persons in questions in question are. And litigants instructed to specify the partners and their citizenship may not respond with a vacuous statement such as 'no partner is a citizen of Illinois.' How can anyone tell?"). So, the complaint falls short of establishing diversity jurisdiction. But there appears to be a jurisdictional saving grace. The complaint also appears to allege claims under two federal statutes: the Fair Debt Credit Reporting Act, and the Gramm-Leach Bilen Act. So, by all appearances, there is federal question jurisdiction, which means that the Court can exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the state law claims (assuming that they are related). For now, the Court issues this Order simply to flag a few issues, and put a jurisdictional flag in the ground. To clear things up, the Court requires Plaintiffs to file a short statement by December 6, 2022, confirming the basis of jurisdiction.
