Opinion

02 Civ. 1552 (LAK)

ORDER

LEWIS A. KAPLAN, District Judge.

Jurisdiction in this motor vehicle accident case purportedly is based on diversity of citizenship. The complaint fails adequately to allege the citizenship of either defendant. See 28 U.S.C. § 1332(c)(1). Accordingly, the complaint is dismissed for want of subject matter jurisdiction without prejudice to the filing, on or before March 18, 2002, of an amended complaint adequately setting forth a basis for federal jurisdiction.

SO ORDERED.
