ORDER

“Inquiring whether the court has jurisdiction is a federal judge’s first duty in every

case.” Belleville Catering Co. v. Champaign Market Place, L.L.C., 350 F.3d 691, 693 (7th

Cir. 2003). In this case, the notice of removal fails to sufficiently plead jurisdiction. See 28

U.S.C. § 1332(c)(1); Hertz Corp. v. Friend, 559 U.S. 77, 80, 92-93 (2010) (discussing the

citizenship of a corporation).

Accordingly,

IT IS ORDERED that by December 23, 2013, Defendant shall file an amended notice

of removal properly alleging federal subject matter jurisdiction, or this case will be remanded

for lack of federal subject matter jurisdiction.

DATED this 9th day of December, 2013.
