November 15, 2023 Filing 11 MINUTE entry before the Honorable John J.

Am., 891 F.3d 687, 690 (7th Cir. 2018). Accordingly, the defendant is directed to file a supplement to its notice of removal clarifying where its principal place of business is located by 11/20/2023. Failure to timely and adequately amend may result in remand of the case. Mailed notice (air, )
