August 22, 2018 Filing 9 Judge Richard G. Stearns: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered. On August 15, 2018, plaintiff Auctus Fund, LLC filed this case in federal court on the basis of complete diversity of citizenship between the parties, and thus bears the burden to establish that this court has subject matter jurisdiction over the controversy. For diversity purposes, "the citizenship of a limited liability company is 'determined by the citizenship of all of its members.'" D.B. Zwirn Special Opportunities Fund, L.P. v. Mehrotra, 661 F.3d 124, 125 (1st Cir. 2011), quoting Pramco, LLC ex rel. CFSC Consortium, LLC v. San Juan Bay Marina, Inc., 435 F.3d 51, 54 (1st Cir. 2006). Auctus Fund, LLCs Complaint does not identify the members of its LLC and their citizenship (it only alleges plaintiffs state of organization and principal place of business). The court is unable to determine from the Complaint whether complete diversity exists between the parties. By Wednesday, August 29, 2018, Auctus must show cause, that complete diversity exists between the parties and this court has original subject matter jurisdiction in this case.(Zierk, Marsha)
