ORDER
J. RANDAL HALL, Chief District Judge.
Before the Court is Defendant's Motion for More Definite Statement. Defendant seeks the exact weeks Plaintiff claims she was not properly compensated for overtime. Rule 12(e) states that:
A party may move for a more definite statement of a pleading to which a responsive pleading is allowed but which is so vague or ambiguous that the party cannot reasonably prepare a response. The motion must be made before filing a responsive pleading . . . .
Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(e).
Plaintiff's Complaint provides fair notice to Defendant of her claims and is not so ambiguous or vague that a party could not frame a responsive pleading. In fact. Defendant filed an Answer admitting that Plaintiff worked as an hourly employee for more than forty hours in a workweek within the past three years. (Answer, Doc. 7, ft 17-21.) Additionally, Defendant filed its answer before its motion for a more definite statement.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Defendant's Motion for More Definite Statement (Doc. 12) is DENIED.
ORDER ENTERED.
