ORDER
DENISE COTE, DISTRICT JUDGE
On February 10, 2022, Phillips 66. Company brought this action against Marine Petrobulk Ltd. alleging, among other claims, breach of contract. The complaint adequately pleads diversity jurisdiction. Marine Petrobulk Ltd. moved to dismiss on April 19. In its motion, Marine Petrobulk Ltd. reports that Marine Petrobulk Limited Partnership was the counterparty to the underlying contract, not Marine Petrobulk Ltd. It is hereby
ORDERED that the parties shall confer and advise the Court by December 2, 2022 whether the defendant in this action should be Marine Petrobulk Limited Partnership and if so, whether diversity jurisdiction exists.
