    Appeal from the United States District Court
    for the Southern District of Florida
    D.C. Docket No. 9:21-cv-80348-AMC
    ____________________
    Before JILL PRYOR and GRANT, Circuit Judges.
    PER CURIAM:
    Upon review of the record and the parties’ joint response to
    the jurisdictional questions, the parties’ motion to supplement the
    record about the plaintiffs’ citizenship, incorporated in their re-
    sponse, is GRANTED. We accept the declaration submitted with
    the motion to supplement and deem the record so supplemented.
    See Cabalceta v. Standard Fruit Co., 
    883 F.2d 1553
    , 1555 (11th Cir.
    1989). The record as supplemented now establishes that there was
    complete diversity of citizenship and the district court had subject
    matter jurisdiction over this action in the first instance; specifically,
    the plaintiff limited liability companies, through their members,
    are citizens of Florida and Illinois, while the defendant corporation
    is a citizen of California. See 
    28 U.S.C. § 1332
    ; Travaglio v. Am. Ex-
    press Co., 
    735 F.3d 1266
    , 1269 (11th Cir. 2013); Mallory & Evans Con-
    tractors & Eng’rs, LLC v. Tuskegee Univ., 
    663 F.3d 1304
    , 1305 (11th
    Cir. 2011); Rolling Greens MHP, L.P. v. Comcast SCH Holdings L.L.C.,
    USCA11 Case: 23-11077      Document: 24-1       Date Filed: 06/08/2023     Page: 3 of 3
    23-11077                Opinion of the Court                          3
    
    374 F.3d 1020
    , 1021 (11th Cir. 2004); Alliant Tax Credit 31, Inc v. Mur-
    phy, 
    924 F.3d 1134
    , 1143 (11th Cir. 2019).
    Accordingly, this appeal MAY PROCEED.
