       2                      Opinion of the Court                 23-10747

       Before BRANCH and LUCK, Circuit Judges.
       PER CURIAM:
              Upon review of the record and the parties’ responses to the
       jurisdictional questions, Venetia Condominium Association, Inc.’s
       (“Venetia”) unopposed motion to amend its complaint is
       GRANTED. We deem the complaint amended to reflect that Ve-
       netia is a Florida corporation with its principal place of business in
       Florida. See 28 U.S.C. § 1653.
               The amended jurisdictional allegations now establish that
       the parties were diverse and that the district court had subject mat-
       ter jurisdiction over this action in the first instance. See 28 U.S.C.
       § 1332(a)(1) (providing that federal courts have subject matter ju-
       risdiction over civil actions between citizens of different states,
       where the amount in controversy exceeds $75,000); Id. § 1332(c)
       (providing that a corporation is deemed a citizen of its state of in-
       corporation and the state where it has its principal place of busi-
       ness); Lincoln Prop. Co. v. Roche, 546 U.S. 81, 89 (2005) (explaining
       that for subject matter jurisdiction to exist under § 1332, there must
       be complete diversity of citizenship between all plaintiffs and all
       defendants). This appeal may therefore proceed.
              Venetia is DIRECTED to file in the district court a notice of
       this opinion and the amended complaint reflecting the amended
       jurisdictional allegations.
