(See Order filed Jan. 8, 2009.) On January 28, 2009, plaintiffs filed an Amended Complaint. Although, in said Amended Complaint, plaintiffs allege defendant's "home office" is located in Houston, Texas (see FAC ¶ 2), plaintiffs again have failed to allege defendant's place of incorporation. See 28 U.S.C. § 1332(c)(1) (providing "a corporation shall be deemed to be a citizen of any State by which it has been incorporated and of the State where it has its principal place of business"). Accordingly, plaintiffs are hereby ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE, in writing and no v.
