[Re: ECF No. 10]

16

On January 21, 2015, Plaintiff filed a complaint against Defendants. (Complaint, ECF No. 1.)

17

On February 5, 2015, Defendants answered the complaint and brought two counterclaims against

18

Plaintiff. (Original Answer and Counterclaim, ECF No. 6.) On February 26, 2015, Plaintiff moved

19

to dismiss Defendants’ counterclaims. (Motion to Dismiss, ECF No. 10.) On February 27, 2015,

20

presumably in response to Plaintiff’s motion, Defendants filed an amended answer that omits their

21

counterclaims. (Amended Answer, ECF No. 12.) Defendants’ amended answer, then, moots

22

Plaintiff’s motion. Accordingly, the court denies Plaintiff’s motion to dismiss as moot.1

IT IS SO ORDERED.
