Before CELEBREZZE and JONES, Circuit Judges, and JOINER, District Judge.


JOINER, District Judge.

Plaintiff appeals in this case from a decision of the district court granting defendant's motion for summary judgment. He asserts that the district court committed error in granting defendant leave to amend its answer to assert the affirmative defense on which the motion for summary judgment was based, 41 months after its original answer was filed. For the reasons that follow, we affirm the decision of the district court.
