December 30, 2020 Filing 8 Letter from Matthew D. Garson. (GARSON, MATTHEW)
December 30, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 7 TEXT ORDER: (1) Defendant Nicholas Segedin's citizenship appears to be not diverse from plaintiff's citizenship, but defendant Conagra Brands, Inc. (Conagra) nonetheless removed this case from state court based on diversity jurisdiction. Although subject matter jurisdiction can be examined at any point during litigation, it would be prudent for plaintiffs to formally move to remand this case to state court in accordance with 28 U.S.C. Section 1447(c) by Monday, January 4, 2021 if plaintiffs intend to object to removal for lack of complete diversity of citizenship. (2) Counsel for the recently-appearing Segedin will electronically file a letter providing Segedin's citizenship information by Thursday, December 31, 2020. Counsel for Segedin represents Conagra and removed this case from state court, and thus has the burden of providing proof of Segedin's citizenship on short notice. So Ordered by Magistrate Judge Edward S. Kiel on 12/30/2020. (as, )
