Fed. R. Civ. P. 7.1(a)(2). For purposes of diversity jurisdiction, 15 “an LLC is a citizen of every state of which its owners/members are citizens.” Johnson v. 16 Columbia Props. Anchorage, LP, 437 F.3d 894, 899 (9th Cir. 2006). “Moreover, if any member 17 of [an LLC] is itself a partnership or association (or another LLC), the Court needs to know the 18 citizenship of each ‘sub-member’ as well.” Diamos v.
