Opinion
Case No. 12-15288
12-13-2012
JENNIFER DILLINGHAM-RIVERA, et al., Plaintiffs, v. RETIREMENT STRATEGIES, INC., et al., Defendants.
ORDER DISMISSING ACTION FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION
The amended complaint in this action states:
Jurisdiction is proper under 28 [U.S.C. §] 1332 in that there is complete diversity of citizenship in this case. All [sixteen] plaintiff[s], except Ms. Krell[,] are Michigan citizens. . . . All defendants are Michigan citizens.(Am. Compl. ¶ 1, Dkt. # 5.) As Plaintiffs acknowledge, diversity jurisdiction requires complete diversity. Complete diversity, however, requires that no opposing parties share citizenship. Strawbridge v. Curtiss, 3 Cranch 267 (1806). Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that this action is DISMISSED for failure to invoke the diversity jurisdiction of the district court.
