(In Chambers) Order to Show Cause Re: Jurisdiction

On November 7, 2017, this action was removed to this court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1441
on the basis of diversity jurisdiction, 28 U.S.C. § 1332. (See Dkt. 1, Notice of Removal). Plaintiff
did not file a motion to remand. (See, generally, Dkt.). However, in the parties’ Joint Rule 26(f)
Report (Dkt. 10, “Report”), filed on December 21, 2017, plaintiff disputes that defendant has
shown that diversity jurisdiction exists. (See id. at 5). Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that:
1. No later than January 8, 2018, defendant shall show cause in writing why this action
should not be remanded. Failure to respond to the OSC by the deadline set forth above shall
be deemed as consent to the remand of the action to state court.
2. No later than January 12, 2018, plaintiff shall submit a response regarding the court’s
diversity jurisdiction. Conclusory allegations that defendant has not meet its burden will not be
sufficient. Plaintiff’s response shall be supported by relevant case law and other authority.
