MEMORANDUM ORDER
New counsel for codefendant Great American Insurance Group
has just filed its Amended Answer (“Answer”) to the declaratory
judgment Complaint filed by Carolina Casualty Insurance Company
(“Carolina Casualty”).

This memorandum is issued sua sponte

because of a question posed by one aspect of that Answer.
Answer ¶15 has denied without explanation the allegation
that this Court has subject matter jurisdiction over this action.
Counsel must supplement the Answer to reflect the basis for that
denial, whether because Carolina Casualty has named the wrong
party defendant or otherwise.
