January 21, 2021 Filing 5 Magistrate Judge M. Page Kelley: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered. This case was removed from the state court on the ground that the federal court had diversity jurisdiction, 28 U.S.C. 1332. Based on the pleadings to date, it is unclear if diversity jurisdiction exists in this case. In the amended complaint, plaintiff AFACR, LLC d/b/a A. & F. Air Conditioning and Refrigeration is alleged to be a limited liability corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts having a usual place of business in Medway, Norfolk County, Massachusetts. No facts have been alleged with respect to the constituent members of AFACR, LLC in the amended complaint or the notice of removal, but the citizenship of a limited partnership or a limited liability company is to be determined by the citizenship of its members. Carden v. Arkoma Assoc., 494 U.S. 186, 195-96 (1990); Pramco, LLC v. San Juan Bay Marina, Inc., 435 F.3d 51 (1st Cir. 2006). As the removing party, defendant Sentinel Insurance Company Limited bears the burden of establishing that diversity jurisdiction exists. Defendant shall file a pleading stating the citizenship of the constituent members of AFACR, LLC on or before the close of business on January 28, 2021.(MacDougall, Patricia)

Pursuant to General Order 09-3, until the Court receives for filing either a consent to the Magistrate Judge's jurisdiction or the reassignment of the case to a District Judge, the initial assignment of a civil case to the Magistrate Judge is a referral to the Magistrate Judge under 28 USC 636(b) for all pretrial non-dispositive matters and Report and Recommendations, but not for the Rule 16(b) scheduling conference.
