April 4, 2019 Opinion or Order ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE : Plaintiff commenced this action asserting that this Court has jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1332 because the parties are diverse in citizenship and the amount in controversy exceeds $75,000. Diversity jurisdiction exists when all plaintiffs are citizens of states diverse from those of all defendants. Pennsylvania Pub. Sch. Employees' Ret. Sys. v. Morgan Stanley & Co., Inc., 772 F.3d 111, 117- 18 (2d Cir. 2014) (citing Exxon Mobil Corp. v. Allapattah Servs., Inc., 545 U.S. 546, 553 (2005)). The party asserting diversity jurisdiction has the burden to prove the same. Pennsylvania Pub. Sch. Employees' Ret. Sys., 772 F.3d at 118. "[D]iversity of citizenship should be distinctly and positively averred in the pleadings, or should appear with equal distinctness in other parts of the record[.]" Leveraged Leasing Admin. Corp. v. PacificCorp Capital, Inc., 87 F.3d 44, 47 (2d Cir. 1996) (internal quotation marks omitted). "A conclusory allegation in the Complaint regarding diversity of citizenship does not extinguish the Court's responsibility to determine, on its own review of the pleadings, whether subject matter jurisdiction exists." Richmond v. International Bus. Machs. Corp., 919 F. Supp. 107, 108 (E.D.N.Y. 1996), aff'd, 841 F.2d 1116 (2d Cir. 1988). For the purpose of diversity jurisdiction, "a statement of the parties' residence is insufficient to establish their citizenship." Davis v. Cannick, 2015 WL 1954491, at *2 (E.D.N.Y. 2015); Young-Gibson v. Patel, 476 F. App'x 482, 483 (2d Cir. June 12, 2012)). For purposes of diversity jurisdiction, [an individuals] citizenship depends on his domicile. Linardos v. Fortuna, 157 F.3d 945, 948 (2d Cir. 1998). Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff show cause in writing on or before April 25, 2019, why this action should not be dismissed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Ordered by Judge Denis R. Hurley on 4/4/2019. (Gapinski, Michele)
