Date Filed Document Text
December 8, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 8 TEXT ORDER: Upon review of the submission of defendants concerning citizenship (ECF No. #6 ), the Court finds that diversity of citizenship has been demonstrated, as: (1) plaintiffs are Connecticut citizens; (2) defendant Saidou is a North Dakota citizen; and (3) defendant Abi Brothers, LLC is deemed to be a Minnesota citizen only. As the Court possesses subject matter jurisdiction at this juncture, the case shall now proceed before this Court. So Ordered by Magistrate Judge Edward S. Kiel on 12/8/2020. (as, )

December 3, 2020 Filing 6 Letter from Lorne Reiter re 5 Order,,,,. (REITER, LORNE)
November 30, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 5 TEXT ORDER: Defendants removed this case from state court based upon diversity jurisdiction, which requires each plaintiff to be completely diverse from each defendant. The citizenship information provided as to defendant Abi Brothers, LLC (ABLLC), which appears to be a limited liability company, 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 ABLLC with specificity by MONDAY, DECEMBER 7, 2020. Defendants 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 Connecticut when this action was commenced, nor are they currently citizens of Connecticut" 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 11/30/2020. (as, )
