July 18, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 4 ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE. Defendant ExpiTrans' #1 Notice of Removal invokes this court's diversity jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. 1332. Defendant asserts that there is complete diversity of citizenship and that the amount in controversy exceeds $75,000. ECF No. #1 at 3-4. In support of this assertion, Defendant states that Plaintiff eLearning, LLC is a "Utah company with its principal place of business in Salt Lake County, Utah." Id. at 2. It does not plead the citizenship of the limited liability company's members because "Defendants do not know the residence of Plaintiff's members as such information is not publicly available." Id. But "Supreme Court precedent makes clear that in determining the citizenship of an unincorporated association for purposes of diversity, federal courts must include all the entities' members." Siloam Springs Hotel, L.L.C. v. Century Sur. Co., 781 F.3d 1233, 1237-38 (10th Cir. 2015) (citing Carden v. Arkoma Assocs., 494 U.S. 185, 195-96 (1990)). Accordingly, Defendant is ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE why the action should not be remanded for lack of subject matter jurisdiction or to amend the notice of removal to properly plead the citizenship of eLearning LLC. Failure to do so by Aug. 1, 2023 will result in the action being remanded to state court. Signed by Judge David Barlow on 7/18/23. (skw)
