No. CV-06-1987-PHX-LOA

ORDER

The Court has received and considered Defendants’ timely-filed Response to

Order to Show Cause. (docket # 23) 

Jurisdiction in this federal case is predicated upon complete diversity of

citizenship and an amount in controversy in excess of $75,000 pursuant to Title 28 U.S.C.

§ 1332(a)(1). (Id. at 4; Notice of Removal, docket # 1, ¶ 1) By separate Declarations under

penalty of perjury and their Response, Defendants have established that each Defendant is

a citizen and domiciliary of the State of California. Therefore, Defendants have met their

burden of establishing jurisdiction in this court of limited jurisdiction. McNutt v. General

Motors Acceptance Corp., 298 U.S. 178, 182-183 (1936); Gaus v. Miles, Inc., 980 F.2d 564,

566 (9th Cir.1992) (per curiam) ("[T]he defendant bears the burden of actually proving the

facts to support jurisdiction, including the jurisdictional amount.").
