December 20, 2024 Filing 11 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 Honorable Virginia M. Kendall on 12/20/2024: Mailed notice. (tg, )
December 16, 2024 Filing 9 MEMORANDUM by David J Kristoff (Lechowicz, Scott)
December 2, 2024 Filing 8 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: Upon review of the complaint, the Court poses the following jurisdictional inquiry. Plaintiff Kristoff premises jurisdiction on diversity of citizenship, 28 U.S.C. 1332. The Plaintiff alleges that Elite Dental Partners, LLC's citizenship for diversity jurisdiction is its place of incorporation and principal place of business. R. 2, para. 3. But an LLC's citizenship is not like a corporation's; instead an LLC is a citizen of every state where its members are citizens. Wise v. Wachovia Securities, LLC, 450 F.3d 265, 267 (7th Cir. 2006). Accordingly, on or before 12/16/2024, the parties shall file a Jurisdictional Memorandum fixing the citizenship allegations or explaining why the current complaint sufficiently alleges jurisdiction. The Jurisdictional Memorandum must specifically identify each member of the LLC and their citizenship. See Meyerson v. Showboat Marina Casino P'ship, 312 F.3d 318, 321 (7th Cir. 2002); Thomas v. Guardsmark, LLC, 487 F.3d 531, 534 (7th Cir. 2007) (ordering disclosure of each members' identities and citizenship). Emailed notice (mw, )
November 27, 2024 Filing 7 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: Defendant having waived service, initial tracking status hearing set for 01/17/2025 at 8:30 a.m. to track the case only (no appearance is required, the case will not be called). Instead, the Court will set the case schedule after reviewing the written status report. The parties must file a joint initial status report with the content described in the attached status report requirements by 01/09/2024. Plaintiff must still file the report even if Defendant has not responded to requests to craft a joint report. Also, counsel (or the parties, if proceeding pro se) must carefully review Judge Chang's Case Management Procedures, available online at ilnd.uscourts.gov (navigate to Judges / District Judges / Judge Edmond E. Chang). Because the Procedures are occasionally revised, counsel (or the party, if proceeding pro se) must read them anew even if the counsel or the party has appeared before Judge Chang in other cases. Emailed notice (Attachments: #1 Status Report Requirements) (mw, )
