Case No. 12-C-1305

TAK INVESTMENTS LLC,
Defendants.

ORDER

On November 12, 2013, the court issued an order to show cause directing Plaintiff Tissue
Technology, LLC, to explain why this case should not be dismissed for lack of subject matter
jurisdiction. (ECF No. 26.) Tissue Technology, a Wisconsin Limited Liability Company, had failed
to previously disclose the citizenship of each of its members. Tissue Technology responded on
November 18, 2013, indicating that its members are citizens of Wisconsin and Illinois. (ECF No. 27.)
Defendant TAK Investments previously disclosed that it is a Delaware Limited Liability Company and
its members are citizens of Florida and Maryland. (Countercl., ¶ 1, ECF No. 14.) Since the members
of Tissue Technology and TAK Investments are citizens of different states, complete diversity exists
and the court has jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1332. The case may proceed, and Plaintiffs’ unopposed
stipulation for extension of time to file its summary judgment response brief is granted. (ECF No. 25.)
Plaintiffs’ brief in response to Defendant’s motion for summary judgment will be due on December 2,
2013.
