to the Complaint, and submitted a complete copy of the Complaint with the request that it be 

scanned and substituted in place of the Complaint (Doc. 1) on the docket in this action. (Doc. 

18.) 

Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Defendant’s motion for more definite statement, filed on July 11, 2016, is deemed 

WITHDRAWN;
