in Diversity Cases
A motion for leave to file a complaint in intervention, third-party complaint, amended complaint, or
other amended or supplemental pleading must be accompanied by the proposed pleading. If the case
is based on diversity jurisdiction, the proposed pleading must allege the citizenship of any new party.
In cases where a proposed intervenor is a Limited Liability Company, the citizenship and domicile
of every LLC member must be provided.
If, in a case that was removed from state court based on diversity jurisdiction, a motion proposes to
add a party that may destroy diversity of citizenship, the movant must notify the court of the issue
and file a memorandum that sets forth facts relevant to the determination that will have to be made
under 28 U.S.C. § 1447(e). If the Rule 7.2 certificate notes opposition, the opposing party will be
allowed an opportunity to file a memorandum in opposition or otherwise be heard before the motion
is considered by the court.
