WHEREAS, Peerless filed a Motion for Leave to File First Amended Answer on July 14, 2014 (ECF No. 27);
WHEREAS, Peerless' proposed First Amended Answer, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A, adds and revises affirmative defenses, includes detailed responses to the allegations in the complaint rather than a general denial, and corrects typographical errors and other edits;
WHEREAS, a hearing on Peerless' Motion for Leave to File First Amended Answer is set for August 28, 2014 at 10:00 a.m. (ECF No. 28);
WHEREAS, subsequent to the filing of Peerless' Motion for Leave to File First Amended Answer, Federated agreed to stipulate that Peerless may file its proposed First Amended Answer.
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED that Peerless be allowed to file a First Amended Answer. A copy of Peerless' proposed First Amended Answer is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

Peerless will file a separate Notice of Withdrawal of its Motion for Leave to File First Amended Answer.
IT IS SO AGREED AND STIPULATED.
PURSUANT TO STIPULATION, AND GOOD CAUSE APPEARING, IT IS ORDERED that:
