Proceedings: IN CHAMBERS—ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY THIS ACTION
SHOULD NOT BE DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION
On August 30, 2011, Plaintiffs filed a complaint in which they assert this Court’s subject
matter jurisdiction based on diversity of citizenship, 28 U.S.C. § 1332. “Diversity jurisdiction
requires complete diversity between the parties—each defendant must be a citizen of a different
state from each 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)). According to the
complaint, both Plaintiffs and Defendant Takeda San Diego, Inc. are California citizens.
(Compl. ¶¶ 2, 8.) Therefore, it appears that the parties are not completely diverse.
Accordingly, Plaintiffs are ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE why this action should not
be dismissed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Plaintiffs shall file their response by
September 26, 2011.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
