Case No. CIV-13-0761-F

ORDER
Although a First Amended Complaint has been filed, this version of the
complaint still fails to provide all necessary information regarding the corporate
defendant. The First Amended Complaint adds the allegation that Forward Air, Inc.
is registered with the Tennessee Secretary of State. A corporation, however, may be
registered to do business in many states; registration is not the same thing as being
legally incorporated in a state. Plaintiff is DIRECTED to file, within seven days of
the date of this order, a Second Amended Complaint which, in addition to the other
jurisdiction information, identifies Forward Air, Inc.’s specific state of incorporation.
Absent compliance, this action may be dismissed without prejudice, or other measures
may be ordered.
Dated this 29th day of July, 2013.
