ROY B. DALTON, Jr., District Judge.
This cause is before the Court for jurisdictional review. Plaintiff Axis Insurance Company initiated this insurance coverage action against three limited liability companies ("LLC Defendants"), a limited partnership ("South Orange"), a dissolved corporation, five individuals, and the co-personal representatives of the estate of a deceased person. (Doc. 1.) Plaintiff claims that this Court has jurisdiction over its state law claims based on diversity jurisdiction (id. ¶ 19); however, the Plaintiff provided insufficient factual allegations to support this claim.
This Court has an obligation to examine its own jurisdiction sua sponte. Travaglio v. Am. Exp. Co., 735 F.3d 1266, 1268 (11th Cir. 2013) (noting district court's constitutional obligation to dismiss actions where sufficient jurisdictional allegations are absent from the complaint, and "the plaintiff does not cure the deficiency"); Mallory & Evans Contractors & Eng'rs, LLC v. Tuskegee Univ., 663 F.3d 1304, 1305 (11th Cir. 2011). To establish diversity jurisdiction, Plaintiff must allege that complete diversity exists and that the amount in controversy exceeds $75,000.00. 28 U.S.C. § 1332. Plaintiff's Complaint satisfies the amount-in-controversy requirement, but it does not establish that complete diversity exists.
First, Plaintiff alleges that each of the individual Defendants "is a resident of the State of Florida." (Doc. 1, ¶¶ 12-18.) These allegations are insufficient because a complaint must set forth an individual's "citizenship, rather than residence, to properly invoke diversity jurisdiction." Travaglio, 735 F.3d at 1269 (emphasis added). "Citizenship is equivalent to `domicile,'" which is the place of a party's "`true, fixed, and permanent home and principal establishment, and to which he has the intention of returning whenever he is absent therefrom.'" Dyer v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., 535 F. App'x 839, 841 n.2 (11th Cir. 2013) (quoting McCormick v. Aderholt, 293 F.3d 1254, 1257-58 (11th Cir. 2002)); see Molinos Valle Del Cibao v. Lama, 633 F.3d 1330, 1341-42 (11th Cir. 2011) ("Domicile is not synonymous with residence; one may temporarily reside in one location, yet retain domicile in a previous residence.").
Second, Plaintiff alleges that the LLC Defendants and South Orange are "organized and existing under the laws of the State of Florida."
Accordingly, it is hereby
