First Amended Complaint.

Upon consideration of the Motion and

Plaintiff is a resident of Virginia; Lynda

Maddox is a resident of the District of Columbia; and Donald
Maddox is a resident of Minnesota.

Plaintiff alleges that he

became a resident of Virginia on or around October 9, 2016, upon

separating from Lynda Maddox and moving out of the couple's home
