PLANNING,

Defendant

9 Defendant Gensler Architecture Design & Planning removed this action from state court 10} on the basis of diversity jurisdiction. ECF No. 1. However, Gensler did not identify the 11) citizenship of plaintiff Cimarron Road LLC’s members. See Johnson v. Columbia Properties 12|| Anchorage, LP, 437 F.3d 894, 899 (9th Cir. 2006) (stating that “an LLC is a citizen of every state of which its owners/members are citizens”). Because I could not determine whether 14) complete diversity exists, I ordered Gensler to show cause why is action should not be remanded. ECF No. 8. Gensler responded that it has pursued all publicly available information but is 16} unable to confirm complete diversity of citizenship, and that Cimarron Road would not disclose its citizenship when asked. ECF No. 14.

18 I ORDER that the parties shall have until September 9, 2021 to conduct jurisdictional discovery. Gensler shall file a supplemental response to the order to show cause by September 2021. If Gensler does not file a response by that date, this case will be remanded. 21 DATED this 9th day of July, 2021.
