on July 15, 2009 and docketed as document no. 119.

2.

"Defendants' Reply in Support of Motion for Summary Judgment" was filed

on July 31, 2009 and docketed as document no. 120. 3. The day that Mr. Archuleta filed his Response is excluded, thus the 15-day

period for Defendants to file their Reply commenced on July 16, 2009, meaning Defendants' Reply was timely filed on July 31, 2009. (See Fed. R. Civ. P. 6 (a)). DATED at Denver, Colorado, this 11th day of August, 2009. BY THE COURT:
