MEMORANDUM ORDER: Fidelity & Deposit Company of Maryland (F&D) filed this civil action based on an assertion of diversity jurisdiction, which places the burden on F&D to allege specific facts that show there is complete diversity of citizenship. The original complaint, for the reasons set forth below, does not meet that burden. F&D will need to file an amended complaint or have some of the defendants set forth detailed allegations of their citizenship in their answer or other filing. The cour t realizes that F&D may not yet have access to information about the membership in the defendant LLC's, so the court will not set a deadline at this time. Parties in the defendants position ordinarily provide the citizenship information volunt arily, and they are directed to do so in this case so that this preliminary issue may be resolved as quickly and efficiently as possible. If the defendants will not provide F&D the information voluntarily or set it forth in their answers, F&D may conduct discovery limited to the citizenship issues. Signed by Magistrate Judge Mark L Hornsby on 10/24/2017. (crt,ThomasSld, T)
