On May 10, 2010, Chase moved to dismiss Peterson's First Amended Complaint

under Rule 12(b)(6). (Docket Nos. 87-89.) 2. On September 8, 2010, the Court entered a minute order granting Chase's motion

to dismiss Peterson's First Amended Complaint. That minute order provided, in relevant part: Plaintiffs amended complaint does not cure the defects noted by the Court in its April 29, 2010 Memorandum Opinion and Order dismissing plaintiff s initial complaint. Therefore, the Court grants defendant's motion to dismiss the amended complaint [doc. no. 87] and terminates this case. Civil case terminated. (Docket No. 115.) 3. Under Rule 58(a)(1), every judgment must be set forth on a separate document.

Court enter an order directing the Clerk (i) to set forth in a separate document a judgment in favor of Chase and against Peterson and awarding Chase its costs in substantially the same form as the proposed judgment attached as Exhibit A; (ii) to enter that judgment; and (iii) for such further and different relief as this Court deems necessary and just.
