April 21, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 7 MEMORANDUM ORDER. Defendants must file by May 12, 2020 an amended notice of removal that clarifies whether Messick-Many, LLC and Messick-Management, LLC are corporations or LLCs. If they are LLCs, their citizenship must be alleged in accordance with the rules outlined above. If Defendants contend that the entities are corporations, Defendants should explain the inclusion of LLC in their names and cite legal authority for including those letters in the name of a corporation formed under Texas law. See David v. Martinez, 2019 WL 2246789 (W.D. La. 2019) (addressing similar issue with Pennsylvania entity). The notice of removal alleges that defendant Rory Messick is a citizen of Texas rather than a citizen of Louisiana as Plaintiff alleged in her petition. If Plaintiff disagrees with that assertion, she should file, no later than May 12, 2020, a motion for leave to conduct limited discovery on the issue of Rory Messicks citizenship. If no such motion is filed, the court will deem Plaintiff to agree that Rory Messick is a citizen of Texas. See Memorandum Order for details. Compliance Deadline set for 5/12/2020.
