| SUMMONS Issued as to Defendants Hometown Lenders, Inc., Pegrum Creek, LLC (gmm, ) |
| Filing 12 AMENDED complaint by Anthony Perri, Jr., Anthony Perri, Sr against Hometown Lenders, Inc., Kerry Norman, Pegrum Creek, LLC, Byron Heath Quick, John Taylor, William Taylor, Jr. and terminating Hometown Lenders, LLC (Attachments: #1 Exhibit A)(Katten, Mitchell) |
| Filing 11 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Matthew F. Kennelly: The complaint in this case, which was filed in federal court based on diversity of citizenship, does not adequately describe the citizenship of any of the parties. Regarding individual parties, the complaint identifies their states of residence, but does not identify their states of citizenship. The two are not necessarily the same. Regarding the corporate party, the complaint appears to identify its state of incorporation but does not identify the state of its principle place of business (the statement that it has a corporate office in a state is not enough). Regarding the limited liability company (LLC) parties, the citizenship of a limited liability company is that of each of its members, and if any member is an entity, citizenship must be traced all the way down. See, e.g., Mut. Assignment & Indemn. Co. v. Lind-Waldock & Co., LLC, 364 F.3d 858, 861 (7th Cir. 2004); Cosgrove v. Bartolotta, 150 F.3d 729, 731 (7th Cir. 1998). Plaintiffs are given until 10/10/2023 to file an amended complaint that adequately describes each party's citizenship. If plaintiff fails to do so, the Court will dismiss the case for lack of federal subject matter jurisdiction. (mk) |
| Filing 10 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Matthew F. Kennelly: By no later than 10/5/2023, the parties (or, if no defendant has yet appeared, the plaintiff(s)) are to file a joint status report that includes the following information: (1) the status of service of process upon each defendant; (2) a description of each party's claims and defenses; (3) details regarding any discussions concerning settlement, whether before or after the filing of the lawsuit; (4) a proposed discovery and pretrial schedule; and (5) any other matters that any party wishes to bring to the Court's attention. The case is set for a case management conference under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 16 on 10/12/2023 at 9:20 a.m. The case management conference will be conducted by telephone, using the following call-in number: 888-684-8852, access code 746-1053. Plaintiff's counsel is directed to provide a copy of this order to any defendant that has not yet appeared by counsel via regular mail at the address at which the defendant has been or is to be served with process.
