ORDER ADOPTING CHIEF MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S PROPOSED FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDED DISPOSITION
THIS MATTER is before the Court on the Chief Magistrate Judge's Proposed Findings and Recommended Disposition (the "PFRD"), (Doc. 87), filed March 27, 2020. In the PFRD, the Chief Magistrate Judge recommended that Plaintiffs' Amended Motion for Enlargement of Time for Plaintiffs to File Amendments to Pleadings and Join Additional Parties, (Doc. 72), be granted; and Plaintiffs' Motion to Strike Defendants Blank's Third, Fourth, Seventh, Eighth, Eleventh, Twelfth, and Thirteenth Affirmative Defenses for Failure to Comply with Mandatory Disclosures under Rule 26, (Doc. 63), be denied. (Doc. 87 at 2). The parties were notified that written objections to the PFRD were due within fourteen days. Id. at 7. No objections have been filed and the deadline of April 10, 2020, has passed. The recommendation of the Chief Magistrate Judge is therefore adopted by this Court.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Plaintiffs' Amended Motion for Enlargement of Time for Plaintiffs to File Amendments to Pleadings and Join Additional Parties, (Doc. 72), is GRANTED and Plaintiffs' Motion to Strike Defendants Blank's Third, Fourth, Seventh, Eighth, Eleventh, Twelfth, and Thirteenth Affirmative Defenses for Failure to Comply with Mandatory Disclosures under Rule 26, (Doc. 63), is DENIED.
