ORDER

DENISE COTE, District Judge:
On September 13, 2024, the plaintiff submitted a letter
explaining the basis for its belief that diversity of
citizenship exists in the above-captioned matter, as required by
Section 5(B) of the Court’s Individual Practices in Civil Cases.
The defendant is a limited liability company (“LLC”), which
takes the citizenship of each of its members.

Bayerische

Landesbank, New York Branch v. Aladdin Capital Mgmt. LLC, 692
F.3d 42, 49 (2d Cir. 2012).

On September 20, the defendant

submitted a letter stating that its “sole member” is MHI 510 W42
Operating LLC, a Delaware LLC with its principal place of
business in Delaware and that, because the plaintiff is also a
citizen of Delaware, there is no diversity of citizenship in
this matter.

Also on September 20, the defendant submitted a

disclosure pursuant to Rule 7.1, Fed. R. Civ. P., stating that
MHI 510 W42 Operating LLC is “a citizen of Delaware with a

principal place of business” in Delaware.

On September 23, the

plaintiff submitted a letter noting that, because the
defendant’s sole member is also an LLC, the defendant’s
citizenship depends on the citizenship of the members of that
LLC.

Accordingly, it is hereby
ORDERED that the defendant shall, by September 27, 2024,

submit a letter stating the name and citizenship of each member
of MHI 510 W42 Operating LLC.

To the extent that any member of

MHI 510 W42 Operating LLC is an LLC, the defendant shall also
state the name and citizenship of each of its members (and so on
with respect to any such members that are LLCs).
