ORDER

On April 22, 2014, the Court issued the following 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 complaint fails to

sufficiently plead jurisdiction. See 28 U.S.C. § 1332; Johnson v. Columbia

Properties Anchorage, L.P., 437 F.3d 894, 899 (9th Cir. 2006) (discussing the

citizenship of a limited liability company); Carden v. Arkoma Associates, 494

U.S. 185, 195-96 (1990) (discussing the citizenship of limited partnerships).

Accordingly,

IT IS ORDERED that by May 7, 2014, Plaintiff shall file a supplement

to the complaint properly alleging federal subject matter jurisdiction, or this

case will be dismissed without prejudice for lack of federal subject matter

jurisdiction.

Doc. 8.

Plaintiff filed the required supplement and alleged the citizenship of the limited

liability company. However, Plaintiff still has not alleged the citizenship of the “professional

association” Defendant. More specifically, Defendant must allege whether it is a partnership,

and if yes, the citizenship of each of the partners.

Accordingly,
