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). 

Accordingly,

IT IS ORDERED that by December 28, 2010, Plaintiff (who is the party asserting

jurisdiction and therefore the party with the burden of pleading jurisdiction, see Industrial

Tectonics v. Aero Alloy, 912 F.2d 1090, 1092 (9th Cir. 1990)) shall file an amended complaint

properly alleging federal subject matter jurisdiction, or this case will be dismissed without

prejudice for lack of federal subject matter jurisdiction.

DATED this 2nd day of December, 2010.
