UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GORDON NOBORU YAMAGATA, et al.,

Case No. 17-cv-03529-VC

Plaintiffs,
ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

v.
RECKITT BENCKISER LLC,
Defendant.

The plaintiffs are ordered to show cause why this case should not be remanded for lack of
subject matter jurisdiction. The plaintiffs have not established that there is minimal diversity of
citizenship, because they have not properly alleged the citizenship of Reckitt Benckiser LLC in
their complaint. See Johnson v. Columbia Properties Anchorage, 437 F.3d 894, 899 (9th Cir.
2006); Dkt. No. 24 at 3. The plaintiffs are ordered to submit a brief responding to these concerns
within 7 days of this order. The brief must be no longer than five pages.
IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: February 25, 2019
