ALVIN K. HELLERSTEIN, U.S.D.J.: I decline to grant the motion for default judgment because of my concern for the court’s subject matter jurisdiction. Competent proof and briefing should be supplied showing that a private limited company under Singapore law is the equivalent of a corporation, and not a limited liability company which has the citizenship of all its owners.
