“Inquiring whether the court has jurisdiction is a federal judge=s first duty in every

16

case.” Belleville Catering Co. v. Champaign Market Place, L.L.C., 350 F.3d 691, 693

(7th Cir. 2003). In this case, the complaint fails to sufficiently plead jurisdiction. See 28

U.S.C. ' 1332; Johnson v. Columbia Properties Anchorage, L.P., 437 F.3d 894, 899 (9th

19

Cir. 2006) (discussing the citizenship of a limited liability company).

Therefore,

IT IS ORDERED that, by February 9, 2018, Plaintiff shall file a supplement to

22

the complaint properly alleging the citizenship of each party (and shall clarify the correct

23

name of any d/b/a) or this case will be dismissed, without prejudice, for lack of federal

subject matter jurisdiction.
