05-25-2021
ASHLEY-RAQUEL WEST, Plaintiff, v. KELSEY SHULTZ Defendant.
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff's Motion for Leave to file a first amended complaint. Because Defendant has provided written consent for the amendment, the Court will grant the Motion. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(2). Plaintiff, however, must edit the proposed amended complaint prior to filing it to include allegations establishing the Court's subject matter jurisdiction. See 28 U.S.C. § 1332; Reece v. Bank of N.Y. Mellon, 760 F.3d 771, 777-78 (8th Cir. 2014); Villareal v. B&C Contracting Specialist Inc., No. 4:19-cv-2851-RLW, 2020 WL 2088341, at *3 (E.D. Mo. Apr. 30, 2020) ("To establish complete diversity of citizenship, a complaint must include factual allegations of each party's state of citizenship, including allegations of any corporate party's state of incorporation and principal place of business.").
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff's Motion for Leave, Doc. [14], to file a first amended complaint is GRANTED, provided Plaintiff includes allegations establishing the Court's jurisdiction. Plaintiff shall file any amended complaint within fourteen (14) days.
Dated this 25th day of May, 2021.
