January 7, 2022 Opinion or Order ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE. It is not clear from the Complaint that the Court has subject matter jurisdiction over this action. The Complaint indicates that one defendant is an LLC, but the Complaint treats that defendant as if it were a corporation, which, for purposes of determining citizenship, are analyzed differently than LLCs. See Bayerische Landesbank, New York Branch v. Aladdin Capital Management LLC, 692 F.3d 42, 49 (2d Cir. 2012) (holding that the defendant limited liability company takes the citizenship of each of its members); Handelsman v. Bedford Village Associates Ltd. Partnership, 213 F.3d 48 (2d Cir. 2000) (same with respect to limited partnerships). Plaintiff is ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE, in writing, by January 21, 2022, why this case should not be dismissed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Plaintiff's response must include an identification of each member of the defendant LLC and sufficient facts to draw a conclusion as to each such member's citizenship. Ordered by Judge Joan M. Azrack on 1/7/2022. (Terranova, Robert)
