Defendant.
ENTRY ON JURISDICTION
On July 20, 2016, the Defendant filed a notice of removal. However, the notice of removal
fails to allege all of the facts necessary to determine whether this Court has subject matter
jurisdiction over this case based upon diversity of citizenship. In particular, the notice of removal
fails to sufficiently allege the citizenship of the parties. Citizenship is the operative consideration
for jurisdictional purposes. See Meyerson v. Harrah’s E. Chi. Casino, 299 F.3d 616, 617 (7th Cir.
2002). The notice of removal neither sufficiently identifies the members of Plaintiff Rock Top at
Mission Hills LLC nor adequately alleges their citizenship.
To remedy this deficiency, the Defendant shall file a supplemental jurisdictional statement
to sufficiently establish this Court’s jurisdiction over this case. The Defendant’s statement must
accurately identify the members of Rock Top at Mission Hills LLC and articulate their citizenship.
The Defendant’s supplemental jurisdictional statement is due fourteen (14) days after the date of
this entry.
SO ORDERED.
Date: 8/1/2016
