CIVIL ACTION NO. 14-0552-CG-C

ORDER
This cause is before the court on the Unopposed Motion for Leave to Amend
Defendant’s Answer to the Plaintiff’s Complaint (Doc. 37). The court notes that the
defendant acknowledges that the motion is being filed outside of the deadline as set
forth in the Rule 16(b) Scheduling Order (Doc. 17), construes such to be a request to
file the motion to amend out of time, and hereby grants the request.
Upon due consideration of the grounds cited, and because “The court should
freely give leave when justice so requires." FED.R.CIV.P. 15(a)(2), and as the
defendant further represents that the plaintiff does not oppose the motion, the
motion for leave to amend answer is GRANTED. The Defendant is directed to file
its amended answer no later than September 2, 2015.
DONE and ORDERED this the 26th day of August, 2015.
/s/ Callie V. S. Granade
UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
