United States District Court

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

HEATHER MAGGETTI,

Plaintiff,

v.

COVIDIEN, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 15-cv-00812-HSG 

ORDER RE CITIZENSHIP OF 

PARTIES

Plaintiff Heather Maggetti alleges that this Court has diversity jurisdiction over this action 

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1332. In support of diversity jurisdiction, Maggetti alleges that she “is a 

resident and citizen of Rohnert Park, Sonoma County, California,” and that Defendant Covidien

“is a limited liability company . . . with its world headquarters located at 710 Medtronic Parkway, 

Minneapolis, Minnesota.” Complaint at 1. 

“[A]n LLC is a citizen of every state of which its owners/members are citizens.” Johnson 

v. Columbia Props. Anchorage, LP, 437 F.3d 894, 899 (9th Cir. 2006). Because Maggetti does 

not allege any facts regarding the citizenship of the owners/members of Covidien, the Court 

cannot determine whether diversity jurisdiction is proper. To that end, the parties are directed to 

file, within seven days of the date of this Order, a statement of no more than three pages 

identifying the citizenship of each member of Covidien.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 26, 2015
