September 12, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 4 NOTICE AND ORDER: Defendant Mt. Hawley Insurance Company removed this case to this Court on September 8, 2023, alleging federal subject matter jurisdiction based on diversity of citizenship under 28 U.S.C. 1332. The Notice of Removal adequately alleges that the amount in controversy exceeds $75,000, exclusive of interest and costs, as Plaintiffs seek insurance benefits for wind damage to four of its buildings as supported by a repair estimate that appears to be for one building (2), which alleges approximately $37,482 in outstanding amounts owed (less prior payments) for that building, plus penalties and attorney's fees. R. Doc. 1-2, pp. 1-9. Mt. Hawley is properly alleged to be an Illinois corporation with its principal place of business in Illinois. R. Doc. 1, para. 4. However, the citizenship of Plaintiff is not properly alleged. While Plaintiff's only member is identified as an individual, the citizenship of an individual is determined by the individual's domicile, not residency. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that by no later than September 19, 2023, Defendant Mt. Hawley Insurance Company shall file a motion for leave to file an amended Notice of Removal that properly alleges the citizenship of all parties, and which includes all Mt. Hawleys numbered allegations, as revised, supplemented, and/or amended. If the motion for leave to amend is granted, the amended Notice of Removal will become the operative removal in this matter without reference to any other document in the record.
