MINUTE ORDER
Entered by Michael E. Hegarty , United States Magistrate Judge, on April 23, 2013.
The Motion to Join Non-Party Under Fed. R. Civ. P. Rules 13(h) and 20(a) filed by Defendants/Counter Claimants [filed April 19, 2013; docket #16] is denied as moot. To the extent that Defendants/Counter Claimants seek to bring claims against a non-party in this case, they may do so by filing the appropriate pleading and serving such pleading in accordance with Fed. R. Civ. P. 4 and 14. See, e.g., Amazing Techs., LLC v. Blacklodge Studios, LLC, No. 10-cv-03077-WJM, 2012 WL 683512, *1 n.1 (D. Colo. Mar. 2, 2012) ("because Dantzler and Wyatt were not originally parties to this action, the claims asserted against them are actually third-party claims").
