Howe v. TMG Sports Marketing LLC Doc. 14 Case 3:07-cv-00515-JCH Document 14 Filed 04/10/2007 Page 1 of 1 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF CONNECTICUT JAMES B. HOWE Plaintiff v. TMG SPORTS MARKETING LLC Defendant : : : : : : : CIVIL ACTION NO. 3:07-cv-515 (JCH) APRIL 10, 2007 ORDER On April 4, 2007, defendant TMG Sports Marketing, LLC, a Michigan Limited Liability Corporation with a principal place of business in Auburn Hills, Michigan, filed a Notice of Removal [Doc. No. 1] alleging federal jurisdiction based on diversity of citizenship between the parties. However, the defendant's pleading of diversity is inadequate because defendant is a limited liability corporation, and as such must demonstrate that diversity exists between plaintiff and each member of defendant LLC. See Carden v. Arkoma Associates, 494 U.S. 185, 189 (1990). Defendant, TMG Sports Marketing, LLC, is therefore ordered to provide the Court with the citizenship of each of its members by APRIL 24, 2007, or this action will be dismissed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. SO ORDERED. Dated at Bridgeport, Connecticut this 10th day of April, 2007. /s/ Janet C. Hall Janet C. Hall United States District Judge Dockets.Justia.com
