November 8, 2022 Filing 66 STATUS REPORT by Jaimie Strode, Spencer Strode. (Christianson, J.)
October 27, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 65 DOCKET TEXT ORDER. In the Notice of Removal, Defendants recite that "[a]s alleged in the Petition, Plaintiffs are citizens and residents of Utah." Dkt. No. 2 at 2 6. The Complaint, however, alleges only that Plaintiffs "were at all relevant times herein residents of Uintah County, state of Utah." Dkt. No. 2-2 at 2 1 (emphasis added). It is well settled that diversity jurisdiction requires citizenship, not mere residence; that citizenship turns on domicile; and that domicile is not the same thing as residence. See, e.g., Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians v. Holyfield, 490 U.S. 30, 48 (1989); Siloam Springs Hotel, L.L.C. v. Century Sur. Co., 781 F.3d 1233, 1238 (10th Cir. 2015); Whitelock v. Leatherman, 460 F.2d 507, 514 (10th Cir. 1972). In addition, removal is proper only if subject matter jurisdiction exists at the time of removal. See 28 U.S.C. 1441(a); Perez v. Staples Contract & Commercial LLC, 31 F. 4th 560, 568 (7th Cir. 2022). No later than November 10, 2022, the parties shall file a status report clarifying Plaintiffs' citizenship at the time of removal. If this submission fails to establish complete diversity between the parties, the action will be remanded to state court. SO ORDERED. Signed by Judge Howard C. Nielson, Jr. on 10/27/2022. No attached file. (tf)
