In the present work, the asymptotics of this amplitude are studied in the semi-classical limit. The starting point of the analysis is an expression for the amplitude as an action integral with action differing from that in the EPRL case by an extra `projector' term which scales linearly with spins only in the asymptotic limit, and is discontinuous on a submanifold of the integration domain. New tools are introduced to generalize stationary phase methods to this case.
