December 19, 2022 Filing 5 AMENDED complaint by Jack Groner, Wendy Groner against All Plaintiffs (Attachments: #1 Exhibit)(Pace, Randall)
December 14, 2022 Filing 4 MINUTE entry before the Honorable John J. Tharp,Jr.: The complaint asserts diversity of citizenship as the grounds for subject matter jurisdiction but fails to properly allege diversity. The complaint alleges that the plaintiffs are residents of Illinois; however, citizenship of a State is required to establish diversity, 28 U.S.C. 1332(a)(1), and alleging residency does not suffice. See Slottke v. Wis. Dep't of Workforce Dev., 734 F. App'x 354, 355 (7th Cir. 2018) ("[W]hen the parties in a diversity suit allege residence but not citizenship, the court must dismiss the complaint."). The plaintiffs may file an amended complaint by 1/6/23 to cure the jurisdictional defect. Otherwise, the Court will dismiss this case for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Mailed notice (air, )
