MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
JAMES K. BREDAR, District Judge.
Now pending before the Court is the Plaibntuiffs' motion for Clerk's entry of deflt for want of an answer (ECF No. 14). The Defendants have resp[onded to the motion (ECF No. 17). The Court finds the explanations in the response, which attempt to justify the tardy answer, less than fully persuasive. On the other hand, the Court is persuaded that the Plaintiff has not been unduly prejudiced by the Defendants' tardiness, and so the motion is DENIED. The Court notes that simultaneous with the filing of their response, the Defendants filed an Answer, and treating the response as a request for permission to file out of time, and finding that the request should be GRANTED, the ANSWER (ECF No. 15) should be DOCKETED, and the Clerk is directed to do so.
