IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

CENTRAL DIVISION

ORTHOARKANSAS, P.A., formerly known

as Arkansas Specialty Care Centers, P.A.

V. No. 4:24-cv-695-DPM

PLAINTIFF

EPISODE SOLUTIONS, LLC; FUSION 5,

INC.; and OWENS & MINOR, INC.

ORDER

DEFENDANTS

The complaint is noted. The Court has an independent obligation

to ensure it has subject matter jurisdiction. OrthoArkansas, P.A.,

invokes diversity jurisdiction. 28 U.S.C. § 1332(a). But it has not alleged

the citizenship of Episode Solutions, LLC's members. Great River

Entertainment, LLC v. Zurich American Insurance Co., 81 F.4th 1261,

1263 (8th Cir. 2023). It must do so. Walker ex rel. Walker v. Norwest Corp.,

108 F.3d 158 (8th Cir. 1997). Unless OrthoArkansas files a proposed

amended complaint by 30 August 2024 clarifying the jurisdictional

facts, the Court will dismiss this case for lack of subject matter

jurisdiction.

So Ordered.

D.P. Marshall Jr.

United States District Judge
