Amara sued Delta Drones, Inc. and LiftPoint LLC in federal district court, invoking diversity jurisdiction. Amara has lived in State A for six years, owns a home there, votes there, and intends to remain there. Delta Drones is incorporated in State B and has its headquarters and executive offices in State C. LiftPoint LLC has two members: Mateo, who is domiciled in State D, and Ridge Capital LP. Ridge Capital LP has partners domiciled in State E and State A.
Amara alleges that a defective drone caused $72,000 in medical expenses, $8,000 in lost wages, and pain and suffering. Delta Drones argues that diversity is incomplete because LiftPoint LLC has a State A member through Ridge Capital LP. Amara argues that LiftPoint should be treated like a corporation with citizenship only where it was organized and headquartered.
