6 6 order Order ~Util - Set Deadlines Thu 02/11 3:27 PM
District Judge Leo T. Sorokin: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered. Based on the complaint filed by the Plaintiffs, this Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction due to a lack of diversity. Unless Plaintiffs establish the Court's subject matter jurisdiction over this action by a supplemental submission due no later than February 19, 2016, the Court will DISMISS this action for lack of jurisdiction. In the event Plaintiffs make a submission, Plaintiffs must also show cause as to the basis for Hamzat Umarov, a non-lawyer, to file pleadings on behalf of other parties, in this case the other plaintiffs. Finally, in any event, Attorney McMahon shall, by February 19, 2016, show cause (a) as to on what basis he signs pleadings when he is not attorney of record and (b) his good faith basis for asserting diversity jurisdiction in the "complaint drafted" by Attorney McMahon when the complaint itself alleges both that the plaintiffs and at least one defendant are residents of Massachusetts. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 11. re1 Complaint filed by HAWA UMAROV, JUNES UMAROV, HEDA UMAROV, ADAM UMAROV, HAMZAT UMAROV, ( Show Cause Response due by 2/19/2016)(Simeone, Maria)
