September 12, 2019 Filing 6 AMENDED COMPLAINT (Second) against BlueScope Buildings North America, Inc., filed by T&M Inventions LLC. (Hanson, David)
September 6, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 5 ** TEXT ONLY ORDER **Plaintiff T&M Inventions LLC has filed an amended complaint, Dkt. #4 , in response to the court's order regarding jurisdiction, Dkt. 3 . The amended complaint sufficiently describes the membership of T&M Inventions, but it fails to allege information sufficient to determine the citizenship of those members. T&M Inventions gives the state of residency for each individual, but allegations of residency aren't sufficient. Citizenship is determined by domicile, which is where the party intends to live for the long term. Myrick v. WellPoint, Inc., 764 F.3d 662, 664 (7th Cir. 2014). T&M Inventions has until September 20, 2019, to file an amended complaint containing good-faith allegations sufficient to determine the citizenship of each of its members. The court will dismiss the case for lack of jurisdiction if plaintiff does not file an amended complaint by the deadline. Signed by District Judge James D. Peterson on 9/6/2019. (voc) Modified on 9/9/2019. (arw)
September 6, 2019 Filing 4 AMENDED COMPLAINT against BlueScope Buildings North America, Inc., filed by T&M Inventions LLC. (Hanson, David)
September 4, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 3 ** TEXT ONLY ORDER **Plaintiff T&M Inventions LLC filed this suit for breach of contract, contending that the court has jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. 1332. Dkt. 1. But for the court to exercise jurisdiction under 1332, the parties must be citizens of different states, and T&M Inventions has not provided information sufficient to determine its citizenship. T&M Inventions is a limited liability company, which means that its citizenship is determined by the citizenship of each of its members. Thomas v. Guardsmark, LLC, 487 F.3d 531, 534 (7th Cir. 2007). And if any of the members of T&M Inventions are themselves limited liability companies, partnerships, or other similar entities, then the citizenship of those members and partners must be alleged as well. See Meyerson v. Harrah's E. Chi. Casino, 299 F.3d 616, 617 (7th Cir. 2002) (per curiam). T&M Inventions may have until September 18, 2019, to file and serve an amended complaint containing good-faith allegations sufficient to establish complete diversity of citizenship. The court will dismiss the case for lack of jurisdiction if plaintiff does not file an amended complaint by the deadline. Signed by District Judge James D. Peterson on 9/4/2019. (voc) Modified on 9/12/2019 (voc).
