Proceedings: OSC RE DISMISSAL (In Chambers)

On April 21, 2010, Plaintiff filed this action in federal court on the basis of diversity jurisdiction. Under

28 U.S.C. § 1332, the Court has removal jurisdiction over civil actions where there is complete diversity

of citizenship. Owen Equip. & Erection Co. v. Kroger, 437 U.S. 365, 373 (1978). 

The Complaint states that Plaintiff is a resident of California. The Complaint asserts the states of which

Defendants Wyeth LLC, Pfizer, Inc., Pharmacia & Upjohn Company, Pharmacia Corporation, Barr

Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Barr Laboratories, Inc., and Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation are citizens. 

However, the Complaint does not assert any citizenship for Defendant Solvay Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 

Accordingly, the Complaint does not allege complete diversity between Plaintiff and all Defendants.

Plaintiff is ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE, in writing, as to why this case should not be dismissed

for lack of jurisdiction no later than June 18, 2010 at noon. The matter will stand submitted once the

Court receives Plaintiff’s response, and a hearing will be set only if deemed necessary by the Court.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
