IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO Civil Action No. 09-cv-00909-PAB-MEH ZACHARY KRISTON, et al., Plaintiffs, v. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, et al., Defendants. MINUTE ORDER Entered by Michael E. Hegarty, United States Magistrate Judge, on May 12, 2009. Plaintiffs' Request for Certification of Classes and Appointment of Class Counsel [filed May 11, 2009; docket #6] is stricken for failure to comply with D.C. Colo. LCivR 7.1A. The plain language of D.C. Colo. LCivR 7.1A states: The court will not consider any motion, other than a motion under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12 or 56, unless counsel for the moving party or a pro se party, before filing the motion, has conferred or made reasonable, good-faith efforts to confer with opposing counsel or a pro se party to resolve the disputed matter. The moving party shall state in the motion, or in a certificate attached to the motion, the specific efforts to comply with this rule. See also Hoelzel v. First Select Corp., 214 F.R.D. 634, 636 (D. Colo. 2003) (because Rule 7.1A requires meaningful negotiations by the parties, the rule is not satisfied by one party sending the other party a single email, letter or voicemail).
