UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN

CORNICIONE DEVELOPMENT, LLC,
Plaintiff,
v.

Case No. 12-C-0323

SUNDANCE VACATIONS N.A., INC. f/k/a
SUNQUEST VACATIONS, INC.,
Defendant.

ORDER
Plaintiff has filed a lawsuit in this court and asserts that federal subject matter
jurisdiction exists under 28 U.S.C. § 1332. The plaintiff is a limited liability company, and
the complaint alleges that all of plaintiff’s members are “residents” of Wisconsin. (Compl.
¶ 1.) However, residence and citizenship are not synonyms, and it is the latter that matters
for purposes of diversity jurisdiction. See, e.g., Meyerson v. Harrah’s East Chicago Casino,
299 F.3d 616, 617 (7th Cir. 2002).
THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that, within ten days of the date of this order,
plaintiff supplement its complaint with information regarding the citizenship of each of its
members so that I may ensure that I have jurisdiction over this matter.
Dated at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, this 6th day of April, 2012.
