counterclaimant Biomedic’s motion for leave to file an amended answer and counterclaims

(doc. 20). Plaintiff and counter-defendant Arthur Andrew did not respond.

Biomedic moves for leave to amend its answer by adding a false advertising

counterclaim against Arthur Andrew under the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a). A party

may amend a pleading outside of an amendment as a matter of course “only with the

opposing party’s written consent or the court’s leave.” Rule 15(a)(2), Fed. R. Civ. P. We

will grant leave “when justice so requires.” Id. Biomedic filed its motion within the time

allowed for motions to amend the complaint under our Rule 16 scheduling order (doc. 17).

And Arthur Andrew did not object. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED GRANTING Biomedic

Labs, LLC’s motion for leave to file an amended answer and counterclaims (doc. 20).

DATED this 29th day of December, 2009.
