ORDER

Jamal N. Whitehead United States District Judge

Plaintiff United States filed a motion to extend the deadline for adding parties so that it may add Marine Service Int'l Inc. as a defendant. Dkt. No. 25. Defendant Estate of Christian Lint filed a non-opposition. Dkt. No. 26. Defendants Ships International Inc. and Felix Vera did not respond. After considering the briefing, the Court finds good cause to allow the United States to add a party after the deadline.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED:

• The Court GRANTS the United States's motion at Dkt. No. 25.

• The United States will file its amended complaint adding Marine Service Int'l, Inc. as a party within 14 days of the date of this Order.
