UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK

NICOLETTE COHEN.,

Plaintiff, 21 Civ. 7686 (PAE) -v- ORDER THE EXECUSEARCH GROUP LLC,

Defendant.

PAUL A. ENGELMAYER, District Judge:

Plaintiff brings this action against The ExecuSearch Group LLC, invoking subject matter jurisdiction by reason of diversity of citizenship,

. If The ExecuSearch Group LLC is, indeed, a limited liability company, as its name would imply, then the complaint must allege the citizenship of natural persons who are members of the limited liability company and the place of incorporation and principal place of business of any corporate entities who are members of the limited liability company. By October 1, 2021, plaintiff shall amend the pleading to allege the citizenship of each constituent person or entity. See Handelsman v. Bedford Village Associates Ltd. Partnership,

, 51–52 (2d Cir. 2000), citing Cosgrove v. Bartolotta,

(7th Cir. 1998); Strother v. Harte,

(S.D.N.Y. 2001) (“For purposes of diversity jurisdiction, a limited liability company has the citizenship of each of its members.”). If plaintiff is unable to amend by the foregoing date to truthfully allege complete diversity based upon the citizenship of each constituent person or entity of the LLC, then the complaint will be dismissed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. SO ORDERED. ____________________________ Paul A. Engelmayer United States District Judge
