ORDER
16
“Inquiring whether the court has jurisdiction is a federal judge’s first duty in every
17
case.” Belleville Catering Co. v. Champaign Market Place, L.L.C., 350 F.3d 691, 693 (7th
18
Cir. 2003). In this case, the notice of removal fails to sufficiently plead jurisdiction. See 28
19
U.S.C. § 1332; Johnson v. Columbia Properties Anchorage, 437 F.3d 894, 899 (9th Cir.
20
2006) (discussing the citizenship of limited liability companies).
21
Accordingly,
22
IT IS ORDERED that by December 19, 2012, Defendant shall file an amended notice
23
of removal properly alleging federal subject matter jurisdiction, or this case will be remanded
24
for lack of federal subject matter jurisdiction.
