(In Chambers) Order REMANDING Case

Defendant Brinker International Payroll Company, L.P., erroneously sued as
Brinker Restaurant Corporation, has removed this case on the basis of diversity
jurisdiction. However, the notice of removal fails to provide a legally sufficient
allegation of the LLC partners’ citizenships. See Johnson v. Columbia Props. Anchorage,
LP, 437 F.3d 894, 899 (9th Cir. 2006) (limited liability company is a citizen of the states
of which each of its members is a citizen). Therefore, the case is REMANDED to the
Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
