2013-01-03 65 0 ORDER granting 53 Motion for Leave to File Document. The deadline for opposition papers to have been submitted was December 16,201 (See ECF No. 58). HITS LLC filed no response and, consequently, the motion is unopposed. As Kaza notes, its proposed counterclaim overlaps with its existing breach of contract claim, suggesting that no additional discovery will be required as a consequence of the proposed amendment. Additionally, although Kaza's belief that HITS LLC is liable for the actions of HITS, Inc., may ultimately prove unfounded, there has been no showing that the proposed counterclaim against HITS LLC would be futile. For these reasons, Kaza's motion for leave to amend, (ECF No. 53), is GRANTED. Kaza is directed to serve and file its amended Answer by January 11,2013.(Signed by Magistrate Judge Frank Maas on 1/2/2013) Copies Sent By Chambers. (ago) (Entered: 01/03/2013)

2013-01-04 67 0 ORDER: On January 3, 20 l3, I issued an Order docketed as ECF No. 65.

Therefore, my Order of January 3, 20l3, (ECF No. 65), is rescinded, and the Clerk of the Court is requested to terminate the motion (ECF No. 53) on the docket sheet.
