Opinion

03 Civ. 4891 (LAK).

July 8, 2003.


ORDER


This action was removed from Supreme Court, Bronx County, on the basis of diversity. The notice of removal, however, fails to allege the citizenship, as opposed to residence, See Sun Printing Publishing Ass'n v. Edwards, 194 U.S. 377 (1904); Leveraged Leasing Administration Corp. v. PacifiCorp Capital, Inc., 87 F.3d 44 (2d Cir. 1996); Depradine v. Nissan Infiniti LT, No. 00 Civ. 6686 (LAK), 2000 WL 1280971, *1 (S.D.N.Y. Sept. 11, 2000). Absent the filing, on or before July 18, 2003, of an amended notice of removal adequately alleging diversity of citizenship, the action will be remanded.

SO ORDERED.
