Case No. 2:16-cv-00659-JCM-NJK
ORDER

16

Pending before the Court is an order to show cause why sanctions should not be imposed against

17

Defendant LV Real Estate Strategic Investments, LLC (“LVRES”), its member and attorney Jeff Brauer,

18

and its other members Jun Wu, Jacob Lefkowitz and Edward Sun, and why sanctions should not be

19

imposed against Defendant ATC Assessment Collection Group, LLC (“ATC”), its attorney Michael

20

McKelleb, and its member Paul Terry. Docket No. 30. The order to show cause arises out of the above

21

parties’, attorneys’, and members’ failure to comply with the Court’s orders to submit evidence

22

substantiating citizenship for purposes of determining whether the Court has subject matter jurisdiction

23

in this case. See id. The Court has received written responses. Docket Nos. 31, 32. The Court hereby

24

SETS a hearing on the order to show cause for 9:00 a.m. on August 2, 2016, in Courtroom 3D. Personal

attendance is required for Jeff Brauer, Jun Wu, Jacob Lefkowitz, Edward Sun, Michael McKelleb, and

27

and may result in the institution of contempt proceedings. In addition, Jeff Brauer, Jun Wu, Jacob

28

Lefkowitz, and Edward Sun shall each be prepared to discuss their state of citizenship.

1

All counsel shall also be prepared to discuss whether the Court’s jurisdictional analysis is altered

2

in any way by the recently-filed stipulation to substitute parties. Cf. Freeport-McMoran, Inc. v. KN

3

Energy, Inc., 498 U.S. 426, 427 (1991) (noting the “well-established rule that diversity of jurisdiction

4

is assessed at the time the action is filed” and is not generally altered by “subsequent events”).

5

IT IS SO ORDERED.
