First, Plaintiffs shall promptly serve their Verified Complaint on Defendants pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 4, and file a Certificate of Service with the Court. See Murphy Bros., Inc. v. Michetti Pipe Stringing, Inc., 526 U.S. 344, 350 (1999) ("In the absence of service of process (or waiver of service by the defendant), a court ordinarily may not exercise power over a party the complaint names as a defendant.... Accordingly, one becomes a party officially... only upon service of a summons or other authority-asserting measure stating the time within which the party served must appear and defend.") (internal citation omitted). Second, Plaintiffs shall promptly file with the Court the corporate disclosure statement required by Fed. R. Civ. P. 7.1. (See, e.g., Dkt. No. #6 .) Third, Plaintiffs shall promptly file with the Court a sworn statement of the citizenship of each member of each LLC named as a Plaintiff. See 250 Lake Ave. Assocs., LLC v. Erie Ins. Co., 281 F. Supp. 3d 335, 341 (W.D.N.Y. 2017) ("Since Plaintiff is an LLC, the proper inquiry for determining the existence of complete diversity is whether Defendant is diverse from all of Plaintiff's members 'because an LLC has the citizenship of each of its members for diversity jurisdiction purposes.'") (quoting Alvarez & Marshal Glob. Forensic & Dispute Servs., LLC, 14-CV-0290, 2014 WL 641440, at *2 (S.D.N.Y. Feb. 19, 2014)); see also Arabesque v.

Mar. 10, 2008) ("Second Circuit precedent clearly holds that for LLCs, citizenship is determined based on the individual members of the LLC."); Linium, LLC v. Bernhoit, 17-CV-0200, 2017 WL 2599944, at *3 (N.D.N.Y. June 15, 2017) (Kahn, J.) ("Thus, if any of Linium [LLC]s members are citizens of California, there would not be complete diversity of citizenship and the Court would lack subject matter jurisdiction."). Plaintiffs are respectfully advised that Paragraphs 6 through 12 of their Verified Complaint do not provide all of the information that the Court seeks on the subject in fulfillment of its responsibility under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(h)(3). SO ORDERED by U.S. District Judge Glenn T Suddaby on 8/21/2023. (sal )

August 11, 2023 Opinion or Order TEXT ORDER denying #4 Plaintiffs' application for an Order to Show Cause, because it is unsupported by an affidavit clearly and specifically showing good and sufficient cause why the standard Notice of Motion procedure cannot be used with regard to Plaintiffs' underlying motion for a preliminary injunction, as required by Local Rule 7.1(e). (Dkt. No. #4 , Attach. 1; Dkt. No. #4 , Attach. 3.) Although approximately $3.5 million from a future grant will be "in jeopardy" if the Enfield solar project is not fully operational by November 12, 2023, and although approximately $2.6 million from a future grant will be "in jeopardy" if the Coventry solar project is not fully operational by February 1, 2025, the Court is not persuaded that a formal Order to Show Cause is justified by such an injury (which depends on both the inability of NYSEG to complete the necessary connections to the electrical power grid in under 90 days, and an unfavorable exercise of discretion of NYSERDA). (Dkt. No. #4 , Attach. 1, at 4, 6.) Moreover, although Plaintiffs are "expected" to lose "$12,000 per day in lost revenue for each day that the projects are delayed in being connected to the electrical power grid" (Dkt. No. #4 , Attach. 1, at 8), Plaintiffs have not persuaded the Court that such a loss cannot be borne by Defendants (see generally Dkt. No. #4 , Attach. 1; Dkt. No. #4 , Attach. 3). For example, although Plaintiffs have sworn that "Norbut does not have the ability to compensate Plaintiffs for this lost income if the delay continues for any extended period of time," they have made that sworn allegation only "[u]pon information and belief"; and, in any event, they have not specified what they mean by "extended period of time." (Dkt. No. #1 , at 4.) Moreover, Plaintiffs have adduced evidence that Defendants have been paid "almost $6 million" to date. (Dkt. No. #4 , Attach. 3, at 35.) Having said all of that, the Court finds that grounds do exist to order expedited briefing on Plaintiffs' underlying motion for a preliminary injunction for the reasons stated in Plaintiffs' application. As a result, Plaintiffs are directed to serve Defendants with a copy of their Complaint, their motion papers and this Text Order on or before MONDAY, AUGUST 14, 2023. Defendants' response papers are due on or before FRIDAY, AUGUST 18, 2023. Plaintiffs' reply papers are due on or before MONDAY, AUGUST 21, 2023. An in person hearing on Plaintiffs' motion for a preliminary injunction is scheduled for TUESDAY, AUGUST 22, 2023 at 1:30 PM in SYRACUSE, NY. The day before that hearing, each party must file a letter advising the Court of whether it intends to adduce evidence (e.g., through witness testimony and exhibits) at the hearing or only oral argument (in which case the parties would rely on the evidence adduced in their motion papers). SO ORDERED by U.S. District Judge Glenn T Suddaby on 8/11/2023. (sal )
