ORDER. The1 Complaint does not allege an adequate basis for the Court's subject matter jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1332. The Complaint states that "Defendant Profit Drivers [LLC] is a limited liability company located in Nashville, Tennessee." ECF No. 1 ¶ 6. Alleging the state in which an LLC is "located" does not help the Court to determine an LLC's citizenship for the purposes of diversity jurisdiction. "[F]or purposes of diversity jurisdiction, a limited liability company has the citizenship of its membership." Handelsman v. Bedford Vill. Assocs. Ltd. P'ship , 213 F.3d 48, 51-52 (2d Cir. 2000) (internal citations omitted). The Complaint therefore must allege the identity and citizenship of each member of Profit Drivers LLC. The Plaintiff shall file a statement of citizenship by March 11, 2025 . The statement should properly indicate the identity and citizenship of the LLC's members. To be a citizen of a state for the purposes of diversity jurisdiction, an individual party "must both be a citizen of the United States and be domiciled within the State." Newman-Green, Inc. v. Alfonzo-Larrain , 490 U.S. 826, 828 (1989). "An individual's citizenship, within the meaning of the diversity statute, is determined by his domicile," and not his residence. Palazzo ex rel. Delmage v. Corio , 232 F.3d 38, 42 (2d Cir. 2000). "Domicile is the place where a person has his true fixed home and principal establishment, and to which, whenever he is absent, he has the intention of returning." Id. (internal quotation marks omitted). For any LLC member that is itself an LLC, the Defendants must provide the citizenship of that LLC (and so on, until a non-LLC member is identified and sufficient facts are provided to identify the citizenship of that member). Signed by Judge Michael P Shea on 02/18/2025. (Metzroth, R) |
