ORDER
This matter is before the Court on the Motion for Leave to Amend the Third-Party
Complaint (and supporting exhibits) filed by Defendants/Third-Party Plaintiffs Atchafalaya
Marine, LLC and Rodd Cairns. (Docs. 39, 41, 42). Any party opposing this motion was
provided the opportunity to file a response by July 26, 2011. (Doc. 46). To date, no such
responses have been filed. Additionally, while Intervenor Plaintiff Midsouth Bank, N.A. filed a
motion for leave of Court to file a reply1 (related to what was, at the time, Defendants/ThirdParty Plaintiffs Atchafalaya Marine, LLC and Rodd Cairns’ proposed amended third party
complaint (Doc. 40)), and this motion was granted on July 12, 2011 (Doc. 45), Midsouth did not
actually file the reply. Thus, Midsouth’s reply is not presently before this Court. Accordingly, it
1

Defendants/Third-Party Plaintiffs Atchafalaya Marine, LLC and Rodd Cairns (Doc. 39) is
unopposed, and thus, is GRANTED.

Bank, N.A.’s motion to strike the jury demand (Doc. 29) in the Third-Party Complaint filed by
Defendants/Third-Party Plaintiffs Atchafalaya Marine, LLC and Rodd Cairns (Doc. 35), is now
MOOT. Upon the filing of the Amended Third Party Complaint by Defendants/Third-Party
Plaintiffs Atchafalaya Marine, LLC and Rodd Cairns, and Intervenor Plaintiff Midsouth Bank,
N.A.’s receipt of service of same, Midsouth nevertheless has the opportunity to file a responsive
