Defendants.

This action originally was filed in this Court on the basis of diversity jurisdiction. (Dkt. #1.)

12

The complaint contains no allegations regarding the citizenship of the members of defendant SFR

13

Investments Pool 1, LLC. See Johnson v. Columbia Properties Anchorage, LP, 437 F.3d 894, 899

14

(9th Cir. 2006) (stating that “an LLC is a citizen of every state of which its owners/members are

15

citizens”). As the party seeking to invoke this Court’s jurisdiction, plaintiff Nationstar Mortgage,

16

LLC bears the burden of establishing jurisdiction exits. See Naffe v. Frey, 789 F.3d 1030, 1040 (9th

17

Cir. 2015).

18

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that on or before March 18, 2016, plaintiff Nationstar

19

Mortgage, LLC shall show cause in writing why this action should not be dismissed for lack of

20

subject matter jurisdiction. If Nationstar does not file a response to this Order by that date, the

21

case will be dismissed.

22

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that defendant SFR Investments Pool 1, LLC shall file a

23

response on or before March 25, 2016.

24

DATED THIS 10th day of March, 2016.
