- ilnd;;1:11-cv-08711_de6 RegisterActionDescriptionText "MINUTE entry before Honorable John F. Grady: This is a slip-and-fall negligence action that was originally filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County. Plaintiff A5CA903 alleges that she was injured after slipping on a wet floor at a casino operated by defendants Horseshoe Hammond, LLC ("Horseshoe") and Caesars Entertainment Corporation. Last week, Horseshoe filed a notice of removal of the action to this court. The notice, which asserts diversity jurisdiction, is deficient. It alleges that Horseshoe is an Indiana limited liability company ("LLC") but fails toallege the citizenship of the LLC's members. The citizenship of an LLC is the citizenship of every state of which any member is a citizen, and the complaint must identify the members and their citizenship (citizenship--not residence; the two are not synonymous). Camico Mut. Ins. Co. v. Citizens Bank, 474 F.3d 989, 992 (7th Cir. 2007); Belleville Catering Co. v. Champaign Market Place, L.L.C., 350 F.3d 691, 692-93 (7th Cir. 2003). Because A5CA903 is a citizen of Illinois, if one of Horseshoe's members is a citizen of Illinois, diversity jurisdiction would be destroyed. See Cosgrove v. Bartolotta, 150 F.3d 729, 731 (7th Cir. 1998). Horseshoe is given until December 30, 2011 to file an amended notice of removal that properly alleges its citizenship. An initial status hearing is set for January 11, 2012 at 10:30 a.m. Mailed notice (cdh, ) (Entered: 12/13/2011)" @default.
