UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

This is a business dispute between Plaintiff and Defendant. Plaintiff brings California state 

law causes of action. The Complaint alleges that this Court has diversity jurisdiction. On April 2, 

2020, the Court issued an order to show cause why this case should not be dismissed for lack of 

subject matter jurisdiction. See Doc. No. 6. The Court explained that the Complaint alleged the 

Defendant’s citizenship based on state of incorporation, even thought Defendant was an LLC 

whose citizenship is the same as its owners. See id. (citing 3123 SMB, LLC v. Horn, 880 F.3d 

461, 465 (9th Cir. 2018); Johnson, 437 F.3d at 899 (9th Cir. 2006)).

On April 13, 2020, Plaintiff filed a response to the order show cause, as well as a First 

Amended Complaint (“FAC”). See Doc. Nos. 7, 10. In the response and the FAC, Plaintiff 

explains that Defendant appears to be wholly owned and operated by two people, one of whom is 

domiciled in Wyoming and the other in Nebraska. See id. 

Because Plaintiff is a California corporation, Plaintiff’s response indicates that there is 

complete diversity. The Court is satisfied with Plaintiff’s response and that diversity jurisdiction 

has now been sufficiently invoked. Therefore, the Court will discharge the order to show cause.
