MEMORANDUM ORDER
Pending before this Court in the above-referenced proceeding is Plaintiff Signet Maritime
Corporation's 	("Plaintiff') 	Motion 	to 	Dismiss 	Defendant 	NFE 	Transport 	Partners 	LLC' s
("Defendant") Counterclaims (Doc. No. 12). The recommended ruling in Magistrate Judge Ho ' s
Report and Recommendation (Doc. No. 16) would resolve this motion by denying Plaintiffs
motion without prejudice, (Doc. No. 12), and granting Defendant's unopposed motion for leave to
amend 	its 	counterclaims. 	(Doc. 	No. 	15). 	No 	parties 	filed 	objections 	to 	the 	Report 	and
Recommendation. Due to an administrative oversight, the Court failed to adopt this Report and
Recommendation in writing, although the parties have proceeded as if it were already so adopted.
After a review of the filings, the applicable law, and Judge Ho's Report and Recommendation, the
Court hereby ADOPTS the Report and Recommendation, DENIES Plaintiffs Motion to Dismiss,
(Doc. No. 12), and GRANTS Defendant's Unopposed Motion to Amend, (Doc. No. 15 at 16- 17).
