BROOKHOLLOW V, LTD, Plaintiff, v. JURY DUTY LLC, ET AL., Defendants.
MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
JOHN G. KOELTL, District Judge:
The Court is in receipt of plaintiff's letter explaining its corporate structure. However, the Court requires additional information to determine whether federal subject matter jurisdiction exists under 28 U.S.C. § 1332. The citizenship of a corporation is determined with reference to its state of incorporation and the corporation's principal place of business, whereas the citizenship of each member of a limited liability company determines its citizenship. See Bayerische Landesbank, N.Y. Branch v. Aladdin Capital Mgmt. LLC, No. 11-4306-cv, 2012 WL 3156441, at *4-5 (2d Cir. Aug. 6, 2012).
Accordingly, the plaintiff should clarify whether it is an exempted company or an exempted limited duration company under the Companies Law of the Cayman Islands.
SO ORDERED.
Dated: New York, New York
