For purposes of diversity, however, the Court must determine the parties' domiciles as of the filing of the Proposed Amended Complaint. See Chen v. Sun, 13 Civ. 280 (ALC) (KNF), 2016 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 7253, at *3 (S.D.N.Y. Jan. 21, 2016) ("While the existence of jurisdiction ordinarily depends on the facts as they existed when the complaint was filed, 'when a plaintiff files a complaint in federal court and then voluntarily amends the complaint, courts look to the amended complaint to determine jurisdiction.'") (quoting Rockwell Int'l Corp. v. United States, 549 U.S. 457, 473-74 (2007)).
