MEMORANDUM OPINION
AND ORDER

TPR HOLDINGS LLC,
Defendant.
__________________________________
JOHN G. KOELTL, District Judge:
The defendant alleges diversity jurisdiction pursuant to 28
U.S.C. § 1332.

The complaint describes the plaintiff as a

limited liability company.

The defendant also appears to be

designated as a limited liability company.

The defendant’s

notice of removal contains no further information about each
party’s citizenship.

A limited liability company has the

citizenship of each of its members for the purposes of diversity
jurisdiction.

See Handelsman v. Bedford Vill. Assocs. Ltd.

P’ship, 213 F.3d 48, 51-52 (2d Cir. 2000).

The parties should

therefore advise the Court as soon as possible as to the
citizenship of each of the members of their own respective
limited liability companies.
SO ORDERED.
Dated:

New York, New York
September 24, 2014
