Dockets.Justia.com

Eolas is filing its Second Amended Complaint for the sole reason of identifying the correct corporate entity for Defendant J.C. Penney in this lawsuit. Through J.C. Penney

Corporation, Inc.'s counsel, J.C. Penney Corporation, Inc. has stated, and the public record for J. C. Penney Company, Inc. shows, that the correct corporate entity in this lawsuit is J.C. Penney Corporation, Inc. and not J.C. Penney Company, Inc. As such, the parties stipulate as follows: 1. Eolas will file its Second Amended Complaint. Eolas' Second Amended Complaint will not amend any existing claim or assert any new claim over those asserted in Eolas' First Amended Complaint. Eolas' Second Amended Complaint will only name the corporate entity "J.C. Penney Corporation, Inc." where Eolas' First Amended Complaint named the corporate entity "J.C. Penney Company, Inc." Simultaneous with the filing of its Second Amended Complaint, Eolas will dismiss J.C. Penney Company, Inc. from this action. 2. Service of Eolas' Second Amended Complaint is deemed made on J.C. Penney Corporation, Inc. as of the date it is filed with the Court. No new summons or service are required. 3. Each Defendant's Answer to the Second Amended Complaint is deemed filed. Each Defendant's Answer to Plaintiff's First Amended Complaint shall serve as that Defendant's Answer to Plaintiff's Second Amended Complaint. Such Answers are found at Dkts. 294-297, 301-304, 316, 317, 321, 449-452, 454-460, which includes J.C. Penney Corporation, Inc.'s Answer to the First Amended Complaint, previously filed as Dkt. 296.
