Guzman: Minute entry dated 10/22/2015 29 is corrected as follows: Plaintiffs' statement of jurisdiction is still insufficient. Allegations based solely upon information and belief are insufficient to establish diversity jurisdiction. See Multi-M Int'l, Inc. v. Paige Med Supply Co., 142 F.R.D. 150, 152 (N.D. Ill. 1992). Thus, the allegations concerning Defendant Fox's domicile cannot stand. The Court further orders Plaintiffs to properly allege the citizenship of DM Partners. See Cosgrove v. Bartolotta, 150 F.3d 729, 731 (7th Cir. 1998) (explaining that unincorporated enterprises, such as partnerships, take the citizen ship of every general and limited partner). Thus, Plaintiffs must sufficiently allege the following: (1) the state of which any natural person who is a member of DM Partners is a citizen, meaning the state where that person is domiciled; (2) the state where any corporation that is a member of DM Partners is incorporated and the state the corporation maintains its principal place of business; (3) the state if citizenship of the trustee or trustees of any trust that is a member of DM Partners, unless the law under which the trust is organized permist the the trust to sue and be sued in its own name, in which case the citizenship of the trust is that of its beneficiary or beneficiaries; and (4) if any member of DM Partners is itself a partnership, LLC, or unincorporated association, the citizenship of every member of such association. See Phamerica Corp. v. Crestwood Care, LLC, No. 13 C 1422, 2015 WL 1006683, at *3-4 (N.D.Ill. March 2, 2015). In light of the foregoing, Northwest Inc.'s citizenship must also be alleged both in terms of its state of incorporation and the state where it maintains its principal place of business. A further statement properly addressing these jurisdictional issues is due by 10/30/15. Mailed notice (cjg, ) (Entered: 10/22/2015)" @default.
