In Chambers –
ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

Although the California-citizen Plaintiffs have dismissed defendant Alexandria Investments,
Inc. and now target only Nevada-citizen defendants, the First Amended Complaint still fails to
support federal jurisdiction because it does not indicate that the amount in controversy exceeds
$75,000. See 28 U.S.C. § 1332(a).
Accordingly, the Court ORDERS Plaintiffs TO SHOW CAUSE in writing, within seven (7)
days, why the action should not be dismissed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.
The Court grants Plaintiffs leave to file a Second Amended Complaint (2AC). If they file
a 2AC curing the above shortcoming by the show-cause deadline, then the Court anticipates
discharging all outstanding show-cause orders.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
