ORDER

JANE M. VIRDEN, Magistrate Judge.

This matter is before the Court, sua sponte, for consideration of dismissal for lack of federal jurisdiction as explained hereafter.1 Dismissal may be avoided by the filing of a statement of jurisdiction within 48 hours of entry of this order, asserting an appropriate basis for federal court jurisdiction.

The Complaint [1] in this case purports to found federal jurisdiction on diversity of citizenship under 28 U.S.C. § 1332, but it does not adequately identify the citizenship of the parties. "The party asserting diversity jurisdiction must `distinctly and affirmatively allege[ ]' the citizenship of the parties." Molina v. Wal-Mart Stores Texas, L.P., 535 F.Supp.2d 805, 807 (W.D. Tex. 2008) (citing Howery v. Allstate Ins. Co., 243 F.3d 912, 919 (5th Cir. 2001)). The Complaint states Plaintiff ATC Sequoia, LLC "is a Delaware corporation authorized to do business in Mississippi. . . . Federal diversity jurisdiction exists pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1332 because . . . [ATC Sequoia, LLC] is a resident of a different state from the Defendant. . . . The Complaint, however, makes no reference to the citizenship of the LLC members. For diversity jurisdiction purposes, a limited liability company's citizenship is determined by the citizenship of each of its members. Harvey v. Grey Wolf Drilling Co., 542 F.3d 1077, 1079-80 (5th Cir. 2008). Thus, it does not appear on the face of the Complaint that this Court has subject matter jurisdiction. As noted, this defect in the allegations of the Complaint may be corrected by the filing, within 48 hours of entry of this order, of a statement of jurisdiction outlining the appropriate states of citizenship necessary to establish complete diversity.2 Failure to do so will result in the Court dismissing this case for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.

SO ORDERED.
