Before the court is a Motion to Strike Certain Affirmative Defenses filed by Plaintiff Diana
Nadeau. (Doc. No. 15). Also before the court is a Motion for Leave to File Amended Answer and
Jury Demand by Morton County and David Shipman. (Doc. No. 36). As the court understands it,
Morton County and Shipman’s proposed amended answer eliminates the affirmative defenses to
which Nadeau initially took exception and Nadeau does not object to this amending. (Doc. No. 38).
Accordingly, the court GRANTS Morton County and Shipman’s Motion for Leave to File Amended
Answer and Jury Demand. (Doc. No. 36). Such amended answer shall be filed by January 16, 2018.
With that amending, the court FINDS AS MOOT Nadeau’s Motion to Strike. (Doc. No. 15).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
