May 24, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 13 ORDER: IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that no later than June 7, 2019, Plaintiffs must submit: 1. Evidence reliably demonstrating (a) Defendant Belmont Group International LLC's membership and (b) the citizenship of each of its members. See St. Paul Fire & Marine Ins. Co. v. Universal Builders Supply, 409 F.3d 73, 80-81 (2d Cir. 2005) ("It is also well established that when the question is subject matter jurisdiction, the court is permitted to rely on information beyond the face of the complaint."). With respect to corporate members, see 28 U.S.C. 1332(c). Plaintiffs' evidence may consist of or be supported by authenticating affidavits where necessary. 2. A letter explaining in detail the basis for jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. 1333. To the extent Plaintiffs wish to abandon their invocation of either Section 1332(a)(2) or Section 1333 as a basis for jurisdiction, their letter must so state. If Plaintiffs fail to reliably establish complete diversity and fail to justify jurisdiction under Section 1333, or if Plaintiffs fail to respond to this order by the above deadline, the Court will promptly dismiss this case without prejudice. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(h)(3) ("If the court determines at any time that it lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the court must dismiss the action."); 41(b) (providing that a dismissal for lack of jurisdiction is not an adjudication on the merits).
