ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE - Signed by CHIEF JUDGE DERRICK K. WATSON on 6/9/2026. Authenticity may have until June 23, 2026 to respond to this Order to Show Cause in a brief not to exceed five (5) pages. Should Authenticity fail to properly specify the citizenship of PACREP and Ritz Carlton, or should Authenticity's assertions fail to establish that this is an action between citizens of a State and citizens of a foreign state or that this Court otherwise has subject matter jurisdiction, this action will be dismissed without prejudice for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.

ORDER REOPENING DISCOVERY FOR THE LIMITED PURPOSE OF JURISDICTION - Signed by CHIEF JUDGE DERRICK K. WATSON on 6/25/2026. Authenticity may have until August 10, 2026 to complete the discovery set forth above. Thereafter, on or before August 17, 2026, Authenticity shall file a supplemental response to the Order to Show Cause, detailing the citizenship of each and every owner(s)/member(s) of PACREP as explained herein and in the Order to Show Cause. Authenticity must also explain, in light of these jurisdictional facts, why diversity exists in this case. Should Authenticity fail in any relevant respect in this regard, no further opportunity will be provided to establish diversity, and this case will be dismissed without prejudice for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Finally, briefing on the motions for summary judgment scheduled for hearing on July 10, 2026, Dkt. Nos. 134 & 147, shall continue. In other words, given that we are on the eve of the only relevant briefing deadline, summary judgment reply briefs must still be filed on or before June 26, 2026. The hearing on July 10, 2026, however, is VACATED. Also, all unexpired deadlines in the Second Amended Rule 16 Scheduling Order, other than the need to file replies as set forth above, are HELD IN ABEYANCE. (eta)
