ORDER

Federal jurisdiction in this case is based on diversity of citizenship, 28 U.S.C. § 1332(a). Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 7.1, parties or intervenors in actions in which subject- matter jurisdiction is based on diversity must file a Diversity Disclosure Statement unless the court orders otherwise. The Diversity Disclosure Statement “must name—and identify the citizenship of—every individual or entity whose citizenship is attributed to that party or intervenor.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 7.1(a)(2). Defendant DolGen Midwest, LLC is a limited liability company. As such, its citizenship for purposes of diversity jurisdiction is determined by the citizenship of its members and sub- members. Akno 1010 Market St. St. Louis Mo. LLC v. Pourtaghi, 43 F.4th 624, 626 (6th Cir. 2022) (citing Delay v. Rosenthal Collins Grp., LLC, 585 F.3d 1003, 1005 (6th Cir. 2009); B&N Coal, Inc. v. Blue Race Midstream, LLC, No. 19-4111, 2020 WL 9474311, at *1 (6th Cir. Dec. 2, 2020)). On November 6, 2025, Defendant filed its Diversity Disclosure Statement. (Doc. #6). However, in the Statement, Defendant did not name its members or identify the citizenship of its members. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 7.1(a)(2). Accordingly, Defendant DolGen Midwest, LLC is ORDERED to file an amended Diversity Disclosure Statement on or before November 21, 2025 that complies with Fed. R. Civ. P. 7.1(a)(2) by disclosing the name(s) and citizenship of its member(s). IT IS SO ORDERED.
