Much of the information regarding any company, tax liens, and a company's standing is public record, if one knows where to look.

Okay, I don't have the brain power to plow through that thing, but, er, shouldn't PA's lawyer know that people aren't citizens of states?
Actually, they are. If I recall correctly from my law school years, such pleading is necessary to establish federal jurisdiction, because one of the bases for federal civil jurisdiction is when plaintiff and defendant are citizens of different states. If you sue someone from your own state, the lawsuit usually belongs in state court, not federal court.
States have the status of a sovereign, separate from the federal government. That is why a person can be prosecuted for the same crime in both federal and state court without violating Double Jeopardy. (That doesn't happen often, because federal policy forbids it without approval from DOJ in D.C. But it does happen--such as the cops who beat Rodney King and were acquitted in state court, then prosecuted in federal court.) Because state and federal are different sovereigns, you are considered a citizen of both.
IANAL, but what I know is this: my passport is from the United States, not California. States don't issue passports or have anything whatsoever to do with citizenship issues.
Everything I've ever heard and read is that one is a citizen of the US and a legal resident of a state (if applicable).
The complaint was filed by Victor Cretella. The plaintiffs are demanding $2 million in compensatory and punitive damages, and a jury trial.
