Date Filed Document Text
November 28, 2023 Filing 16 NOTICE of Lawsuit & Waiver Issued by Clerk upon: 1) HUGO DIAZ and 2) HUGE MUSIC GROUP, LLC.. (KAA)
November 28, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 15 ORDER DISCHARGING SHOW CAUSE ORDER AND SCREENING THIRD AMENDED COMPLAINT - The Court, having reviewed Plaintiff's third amended complaint and being satisfied subject matter jurisdiction exists, hereby DISCHARGES the show cause order. Because Plaintiff is proceeding in forma pauperis, Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(c)(3) requires the Court to order service for Plaintiff. Accordingly, the clerk is designated to issue process to Defendants Hugo Diaz and Huge Music Group, LLC. Copies mailed per Distribution. Signed by Judge Sarah Evans Barker on 11/28/2023.(KAA)

November 16, 2023 Filing 13 RESPONSE re #12 Order to Show Cause, filed by Plaintiff JONATHAN PADILLA. (LBT)
November 15, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 12 ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE - On November 2, 2023, we ordered Plaintiff, who is proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, to file a second amended complaint in order to properly allege the citizenship of Defendants Huge Music Groups, LLC and Huge Music Recording Studios LLC. Plaintiff has now filed his second amended complaint, alleging that this Court has original jurisdiction over his complaint under 28 U.S.C. 1332(a). However, "for the Court to have jurisdiction under 1332(a), there must be complete diversity, that is, no defendant may be a citizen of the same state as any plaintiff." Plaintiff alleges that he is a member of Defendant Huge Music Recording Studios LLC. As we previously instructed Plaintiff, the citizenship of an LLC is the citizenship of each of its members. See Hart v. Terminex Int'l, 336 F.3d 541, 542 (7th Cir. 2003). Because Plaintiff is a member of Hugh Music Recording Studios LLC, his citizenship is the same as that of the Defendant LLC, which destroys complete diversity. Accordingly, Plaintiff is hereby ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE within fourteen (14) days as to why this case should not be dismissed without prejudice for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. See Order for additional information. Copy to Plaintiff via US Mail. Signed by Judge Sarah Evans Barker on 11/15/2023.(SWM)
