INTRAMEDIC RESEARCH GROUP, LLC,
Defendant.

United States District Court
Northern District of California

Plaintiff Alhareth Aloudi alleges that this Court has jurisdiction over this action pursuant to

14

the Class Action Fairness Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1332(d)(2)(A) (“CAFA”). In support of CAFA

15

jurisdiction, Aloudi alleges that he “resided, and continues to reside, in Daly City, California,” and

16

that Defendant Intramedic Research Group, LLC “was a Utah corporation with its principal place

17

of business located in Salt Lake City, Utah.” Complaint at 2.

18

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

19

v. Columbia Props. Anchorage, LP, 437 F.3d 894, 899 (9th Cir. 2006). Because Aloudi does not

20

allege any facts regarding the citizenship of the members of Intramedic Research, the Court cannot

21

determine whether CAFA jurisdiction is proper. To that end, the parties are directed to file, within

22

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

23

citizenship of each member of Intramedic Research.
