JAMES A. TEILBORG, Senior District Judge.
"Inquiring whether the court has jurisdiction is a federal judge's first duty in every case." Belleville Catering Co. v. Champaign Market Place, L.L.C., 350 F.3d 691, 693 (7th Cir. 2003).
In this case, the complaint fails to sufficiently plead jurisdiction. See 28 U.S.C. § 1332; Johnson v.

IT IS ORDERED that by noon, November 7, 2018, Plaintiff shall file a supplement to the complaint properly alleging the citizenship of the limited liability companies and identifying the entity type and citizenship for the "Enchantment Group" or this case will be dismissed, without prejudice, for lack of federal subject matter jurisdiction.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that on November 7, 2018 at 3:00 p.m. counsel for Plaintiff shall appear and show cause why he should not be sanctioned for failing to plead federal subject matter jurisdiction repeatedly. (See CV 18-8044-PCT-JAT Doc. 10).
