Proceedings: IN CHAMBERS—ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY THIS ACTION SHOULD NOT BE DISMISSED FOR LACK OF SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION
On April 18, 2022, Plaintiff Entourage Investment Group, LLC filed a Complaint against Defendants TV4 Entertainment, Inc., Digital Health Networks, and Cody Jon, asserting claims for breach of contract and related claims under state law. [Doc. # 1.]
Plaintiff asserts subject matter jurisdiction based on the existence of complete diversity, 28 U.S.C. § 1332, but the Complaint fails to adequately plead “complete diversity between the parties,” namely, that Defendants are citizens of a different state than Plaintiff. Diaz v. Davis, 549 F.3d 1223, 1234 (9th Cir. 2008) (citing Strawbridge v. Curtiss, 7 U.S. (3 Cranch) 267, 267, 2 L. Ed. 435 (1806)); see Compl. ¶¶ 1-5. Plaintiff is a limited liability company and is therefore a citizen of every state in which its owners or members are citizens. See Johnson v. Columbia Props. Advantage, LP, 437 F.3d 894, 899 (9th Cir. 2006). The Complaint fails to plead the citizenship of any of Plaintiff’s owners or members. See Compl. ¶ 1.
In light of the foregoing, Plaintiff is ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE in writing by no later than May 5, 2022 why this action should not be dismissed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.
IT IS SO ORDERED. CV-90 CIVIL MINUTES—GENERAL Initials of Deputy Clerk kt
