September 2, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 5 ORDER: Plaintiff Axial Group, LLC invokes this Court's diversity jurisdiction. 28 U.S.C. 1332. But the complaint does not adequately allege complete diversity, because it does not allege the citizenship of each of the members of the limited liability companies in this matter. The complaint alleges that both Axial Group, LLC, and Zachert Private Equity GMBH are limited liability companies. (Dkt. No. 1 ("Compl.") Paragraphs 16-17). The place of incorporation, principal place of business, or citizenship of a registered agent of a limited liability company are not relevant to the question of diversity of citizenship under 1332. Rather, for purposes of diversity jurisdiction, an LLC has the citizenship of each of its members. See Bayerische Landesbank v. Aladdin Capital Mgmt. LLC, 692 F.3d 42, 49 (2d Cir. 2012)). Accordingly, in order to invoke this Court's diversity jurisdiction, Plaintiff must allege that the citizenship of Axial Group, LLC, was diverse from each member of Zachert Private Equity GMBH, and from Olaf Zachert, at the time of this action's filing. Therefore, Plaintiff shall, on or before September 9, 2021, either (1) show cause as to why its complaint should not be dismissed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, or (2) move to file an amended complaint that properly pleads jurisdiction. If Plaintiff fails to do so, this action may be dismissed. SO ORDERED. ( Amended Pleadings due by 9/9/2021.) (Signed by Judge J. Paul Oetken on 9/2/2021) (vfr)
