October 28, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 3 TEXT ORDER: Defendants removed this case from state court and assert that this Court may hear this case on the basis of diversity jurisdiction, which requires plaintiff to be completely diverse from each defendant. The citizenship information provided as to defendant Harvest Direct, LLC (HDLLC) is insufficient to determine if complete diversity of citizenship exists, and thus whether this Court has subject matter jurisdiction. Defendants are hereby ORDERED to electronically file a letter completely analyzing the citizenship of HDLLC with specificity by THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2020. HDLLC is a limited liability company, and thus must comply with the standing order of this Court as to pleading the citizenship of an unincorporated business organization, which can be found at: https://www.njd.uscourts.gov/content/edward-s-kiel. This Court advises that an allegation such as "none of the members were citizens of New Jersey when this action was commenced, nor are they currently citizens of New Jersey" lacks the required specificity. The parties shall also refrain from filing any dispositive motions until such time as this Court determines jurisdiction. So Ordered by Magistrate Judge Edward S. Kiel on 10/28/2020. (as, )
