Docket(#12) MOTION for Extension of Time to File Answer or Otherwise Plead [Uncontested] by Real Good Food Company, LLC. (Pustilnik, David) (Entered: 08/27/2020)

Docket(#10) JURISDICTIONAL ORDER: This matter is before the Court sua sponte on the issue of federal subject matter jurisdiction. See Foster v. Hill, 497 F.3d 695, 696-97 (7th Cir. 2007) ("It is the responsibility of a court to make an independent evaluation of whether subject matter jurisdiction exists in every case."). Defendant The Real Good Food Company, LLC removed this action from the Circuit Court of St. Clair County, Illinois on August 21, 2020 based on the complete diversity of the parties (Doc. 1). However, the allegations regarding the citizenship of the Defendants are deficient. Each Defendant is an LLC, and the citizenship of an LLC for diversity purposes is the citizenship of each of its members. See, e.g., Copeland v. Penske Logistics, LLC, 675 F.3d 1040, 1043 (7th Cir. 2012). Consequently, the jurisdictional statement for the Defendants must identify each member and the citizenship of each of member as of the date the complaint was filed, and, if those members have members, the citizenship of those members as well, until a corporation or a natural person is reached. West v. Louisville Gas & Elec. Co., 951 F.3d 827, 829 (7th Cir. 2020); Thomas v. Guardsmark, LLC, 487 F.3d 531, 534 (7th Cir. 2007). Accordingly, Defendant The Real Good Food Company, LLC is ORDERED to file an Amended Notice of Removal by September 17, 2020 that clearly sets forth all of the information needed to determine whether the parties are completely diverse. If Defendant fails to file an Amended Notice of Removal in the manner and time prescribed or if, after reviewing it, the Court finds that Defendant cannot establish complete diversity, the Court may dismiss this action for lack of jurisdiction. Signed by Magistrate Judge Mark A. Beatty on 8/27/20. (klh2)THIS TEXT ENTRY IS AN ORDER OF THE COURT. NO FURTHER DOCUMENTATION WILL BE MAILED. (Entered: 08/27/2020)
