SUPPLEMENTAL ORDER RE
CITIZENSHIP OF PARTIES

v.

INTRAMEDIC RESEARCH GROUP, LLC,
Defendant.

United States District Court
Northern District of California

12

In response to the Court’s March 24, 2015 Order directing the parties to provide

13

information about the citizenship of Defendant Intramedic Research Group, LLC, Dkt. 15,

14

Intramedic filed a statement identifying Basic Research Intermediate, LLC as the sole member of

15

Intramedic. Dkt. 17. Intramedic states that Basic Research is “a Utah limited liability company

16

with its principal place of business located in Utah.” Id.

17

The parties still have not provided sufficient information regarding Intramedic’s

18

citizenship to support diversity jurisdiction. “[A]n LLC is a citizen of every state of which its

19

owners/members are citizens.” Johnson v. Columbia Props. Anchorage, LP, 437 F.3d 894, 899

20

(9th Cir. 2006). Because the parties have not provided any facts regarding the citizenship of the

21

members of Basic Research and, by extension, the citizenship of Intramedic, the Court cannot

22

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

23

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

24

citizenship of each member of Intramedic and Basic Research. If any of Basic Research’s owners

25

or members are themselves LLCs or partnerships, the parties are required to provide the

26

citizenship of all of those entities’ owners, members or partners.
