HEATHER MAGGETTI,

Case No. 15-cv-00812-HSG

Plaintiff,
8

ORDER RE CITIZENSHIP OF
PARTIES

v.

COVIDIEN, et al.,
Defendants.

United States District Court
Northern District of California

Plaintiff Heather Maggetti alleges that this Court has diversity jurisdiction over this action

13

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1332. In support of diversity jurisdiction, Maggetti alleges that she “is a

14

resident and citizen of Rohnert Park, Sonoma County, California,” and that Defendant Covidien

15

“is a limited liability company . . . with its world headquarters located at 710 Medtronic Parkway,

16

Minneapolis, Minnesota.” Complaint at 1.

17

“[A]n LLC is a citizen of every state of which its owners/members are citizens.” Johnson

18

v. Columbia Props. Anchorage, LP, 437 F.3d 894, 899 (9th Cir. 2006). Because Maggetti does

19

not allege any facts regarding the citizenship of the owners/members of Covidien, the Court

20

cannot determine whether diversity jurisdiction is proper. To that end, the parties are directed to

21

file, within seven days of the date of this Order, a statement of no more than three pages

22

identifying the citizenship of each member of Covidien.
