June 6, 2014 Opinion or Order Filing 55 MEMORANDUM ORDER denying 50 Motion to Amend/Correct; denying 51 Motion for Joinder. In short, Swarup is attempting to convert the Bank's straight forward collection action into a dispute about the hotel's failure and the management company's responsibility for the default. This is precisely the dispute the Bank avoided by requiring his personal guarantee.2 Because his proposed cross-claims and third party claims do not arise o ut of the same transaction or occurrence as the underlying complaint, Swarup's Motions to Amend (ECF No. 50) and for Joinder (ECF No. 51) are DENIED. Signed by Magistrate Judge Douglas E. Miller and filed on 6/6/14. Copies distributed to all parties 6/6/14. (ldab, )
