ORDER withdrawing 7 Order to Show Cause. Signed by District Judge Lawrence P Zatkoff. (THal)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN SOUTHERN DIVISION MARGARET K. SAVAGE, KELMER VENTURES PARTNERSHIP, and W.J. SECURITY PARTNERSHIP, Plaintiffs, v. NATIONAL CITY CORP. and THOMAS RICHLOVSKY, Defendants. / ORDER WITHDRAWING ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE Plaintiffs filed their complaint on November 25, 2008, asserting federal jurisdiction based on diversity of citizenship under 28 U.S.C. § 1332. The Court was unable to discern whether complete diversity of citizenship existed due to Plaintiffs' failure to plead the citizenship of several parties. As such, on December 15, 2008, the Court ordered Plaintiffs to show cause as to why the Court should not dismiss the complaint for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction [dkt 7]. Plaintiffs timely complied with the Court's order. In their response, Plaintiffs provided the identity and citizenship of the general and limited partners of Plaintiff Kelmer Ventures Partnership and Plaintiff W.J. Security Partnership. Plaintiffs also pleaded the citizenship of Defendant Richlovsky. After reviewing the response, the Court finds that Plaintiffs have properly pleaded federal jurisdiction based on the citizenship of the parties. Accordingly, the Court WITHDRAWS its December 15, 2008, Order to Show Cause [dkt 7]. Case No. 08-14926 Hon. Lawrence P. Zatkoff
