ORDER
PAUL A. ENGELMAYER, District Judge.
The Court has reviewed defendant Connor John Kassik's letter setting forth the basis for diversity jurisdiction in this case. Dkt. 16. Pursuant to the Court's Individual Rules, the party asserting diversity jurisdiction must, "[i]n cases where any party is a. . . limited liability company . . . state the citizenship of each of the entity's members, shareholders, partners, and/or trustees." Individual Rule 4(D) (emphasis added). Kassik's letter states that defendant Tri State Auto Transport LLC is a California Limited Liability Company, without stating the citizenship of its members. See Dkt. 16.
Accordingly, the Court orders that Kassik file a supplemental letter complying with Rule 4(D) by 11:59 p.m., such that the Court can assess its ability to exercise diversity jurisdiction prior to the initial pretrial conference tomorrow.
SO ORDERED.
