Filing 11
Order re Notice of Voluntary Dismissal (Doc. #9 ) filed by Plaintiffs: Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1)(A)(i), a plaintiff may dismiss an action without a court order by filing a notice of dismissal before the opposing party serves either an answer or a motion for summary judgment. Because the opposing party in this case has neither filed an answer nor a motion for summary judgment, Plaintiffs' Notice of Dismissal is effective immediately upon filing and does not require judicial approval. See Nelson v. Napolitano, 657 F.3d 586 (7th Cir. 2011). Accordingly, this action is DISMISSED with prejudice. The Clerk of the Court is DIRECTED to close the case on the Court's docket. Signed by Chief Judge Nancy J. Rosenstengel on 12/9/2019.(anb2)THIS TEXT ENTRY IS AN ORDER OF THE COURT. NO FURTHER DOCUMENTATION WILL BE MAILED.

JURISDICTIONAL ORDER: This matter is before the Court sua sponte on the issue of federal subject matter jurisdiction. See Foster v. Hill, 497 F.3d 695, 696-97 (7th Cir. 2007) ("It is the responsibility of a court to make an independent evaluation of whether subject matter jurisdiction exists in every case."). Plaintiffs have filed a Complaint (Doc. #1 ), asserting that this Court has jurisdiction pursuant to the Class Action Fairness Act ("CAFA"), 28 U.S.C. 1332(d). The Complaint, however, fails to properly allege Defendant's citizenship. Section 1332 of Title 28 states that a corporation shall be deemed to be a citizen of any state and foreign state by which it has been incorporated and of the state or foreign state where it has its principal place of business. The state of incorporation and the principal place of business must be alleged in the Complaint. McMillian v. Sheraton Chicago Hotel & Towers, 567 F.3d 839, 845 n.10 (7th Cir. 2009), quoting 28 U.S.C. 1332(c)(1). In order to correctly assert the basis of this Court's subject matter jurisdiction, Plaintiffs will need to specifically allege the state of incorporation and principal place of business for Defendant. Plaintiffs alleged the location of Defendant's headquarters instead of its principal place of business. Although the location of a corporation's headquarters is usually the same as its principal place of business, this is not always the case. See Wis. Knife Works v. Nat'l Metal Crafters, 781 F.2d 1280, 1282 (7th Cir. 1986). The Amended Complaint shall be filed no later than December 6, 2019. Signed by Chief Judge Nancy J. Rosenstengel on 11/8/2019. (anb2)THIS TEXT ENTRY IS AN ORDER OF THE COURT. NO FURTHER DOCUMENTATION WILL BE MAILED.
