Defendants.

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

complaint alleges that plaintiff Nationstar Mortgage, LLC and its members are citizens of
Delaware and Texas. (Id. at 1.) But it does not allege the citizenship of defendant Jackel
Properties LLC’s members. See Johnson v. Columbia Properties Anchorage, LP, 437 F.3d 894,
899 (9th Cir. 2006) (stating that “an LLC is a citizen of every state of which its owners/members
are citizens”). As the party seeking to invoke this Court’s jurisdiction, Nationstar bears the
burden of establishing jurisdiction exits. See Naffe v. Frey, 789 F.3d 1030, 1040 (9th Cir. 2015).
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that on or before March 18, 2016, plaintiff Nationstar

Mortgage, LLC shall show cause in writing why this action should not be dismissed for lack of
subject matter jurisdiction.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that defendants shall file a response on or before March 25,
