Fredericks et al v. Jonsson

Doc. 244

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO Civil Action No. 06-cv-00957-MSK-KLM JAMES FREDERICKS, BROOKE FREDERICKS, ELISABETH FREDERICKS, and SARAH FREDERICKS, Plai nti ff(s), v. ROCKY MOUNTAIN OFFENDERS MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS, INC., MARY MARGARET JONSSON, Ph.D, RAGNAR STORAASLI, Ph.D., and PARKER & FROYD MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES, P.C., with all governmental personnel named in both their official and individual capacities, Defendant(s). _____________________________________________________________________ MINUT E ORDER _____________________________________________________________________ ORDER ENTERED BY MAGISTRATE JUDGE KRISTEN L. MIX This matter is before the Court on Plaintiffs' Stipulated Motion for Enlargement of Time to File Response to Defendant Rocky Mountain Offender Management Systems, Inc.'s Motion to Designate Non-Parties at Fault [Docket No. 240; Filed February 1, 2008] ("Motion No. 240"), and Plaintiffs' Motion to Further Amend Scheduling Order and to Extend Deadlines Therein [Docket No. 241; Filed February 1, 2008] ("Motion No. 241"). Although not titled as such, Motion No. 241 is stipulated to by the parties. IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Motion No. 240 is DENIED. On January 15, 2008, the Court directed the parties to brief the issue of whether certain nonparties owed a duty of care to Plaintiffs by February 15, 2008 [Docket No. 234]. The purpose of the briefing is to assist the Court in determining Defendant Rocky Mountain Offender Management Systems, Inc.'s Unopposed Motion to Designate Nonparties at Fault [Docket No. 224] ("Defendant's Motion). The Court recognizes that there is a motion for reconsideration [Docket No. 203] pending before the District Court which could impact Defendant's Motion. However, the Court would like to be in a position to resolve Defendant's Motion, if necessary, when the District Court rules on the motion for reconsideration. IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Motion No. 241 is GRANTED. The Court amends

the deadlines set pursuant to the Scheduling Order [Docket No. 97], and as modified by Docket Nos. 177, 212, 218 & 221, as follows: · · · Defendants' Expert Designations/Disclosures Lay and Expert Discovery Deadline Dispositive Motions Deadline March 21, 20081 May 14, 2008 June 13, 2008

Dated: February 5, 2008

Although the parties propose that the expert designation deadline only be extended as to Defendants Rocky Mountain Offender Management Systems, Inc. and, to a limited extent, Parker Froyd Mental Health Services, P.C. (and Plaintiffs propose that each receive a different extension of time) the Court's interest in efficiency is served by extending the deadline as to all Defendants for the same period of time.
