June 6, 2022 Filing 3 NOTICE AND ORDER: IT IS ORDERED that by no later than 6/13/22 Plaintiff Jose Izaguire shall file a Motion for Leave to Amend the #1 Complaint, which attaches a proposed, comprehensive Amended Complaint that includes all of Plaintiffs numbered allegations, as revised, supplemented, and/or amended, and which properly alleges the citizenship of Defendant Frog Legs, L.L.C. d/b/a Boudreaux and Thibodeaux. The current allegations that Defendant is a Louisiana limited liability company with its principal place of business in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, which is owned and managed by Chad Hughes, a Louisiana citizen, who also serves as the companys registered agent, are insufficient. To properly allege the citizenship of a limited liability company, a party must identify each of the members of a limited liability company and allege the citizenship of each member in accordance with the requirements of 28 U.S.C. 1332(a) and (c). Harvey v. Grey Wolf Drilling Co., 542 F.3d 1077, 1080 (5th Cir. 2008). The same requirement applies to any member of a limited liability company which is also a limited liability company. See Turner Bros. Crane and Rigging, LLC v. Kingboard Chemical Holding Ltd., No. 06-88, 2007 WL 2848154, at *4 (M.D. La. 9/24/07). General allegations that do not specifically identify each member are insufficient. Truxillo v. American Zurich Ins. Co., No. 16-369, 2016 WL 6987127, at *6 (M.D. La. Oct. 24, 2016) (citation omitted). While the citizenship of Chad Hughes has been adequately alleged, it is not clear whether Chad Hughes is a member of Defendant, or, if so, whether he is the sole member. The case will be allowed to proceed if Defendants citizenship is adequately established, as the citizenship of Plaintiff has been adequately alleged and as the amount in controversy appears to be met.
