ORDER granting #47 Motion for Leave to File Document: Please familiarize yourself with the Local Rules of this Court and the undersigned's Individual Practices.

There was no need for a motion with a 24-line signature block and no need for a Stipulation and also a Proposed Order. It is cumbersome, needless and expensive. The last may have been the point of the exercise. Motion (Doc 47) is granted. File amended answer by July 24, 2020.
