IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO Judge Robert E. Blackburn Civil Action No. 09-cv-02977-REB-KLM IOWA PACIFIC HOLDINGS, LLC, Plaintiff, v. NATIONAL RAILROAD PASSENGER CORPORATION, Defendant. ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF'S UNOPPOSED MOTION TO MODIFY SCHEDULING ORDER FOR EXTENSION OF TRIAL DATES Blackburn, J. The matter before me is plaintiff's Unopposed Motion To Modify Scheduling Order [sic]1 for Extension of Trial Dates [#59],2 filed August 16, 2010. On August 17, 2010, the magistrate judge granted in part plaintiff's Unopposed Motion for Entry of Modified Scheduling Order [#57], filed August 13, 2010. (See Minute Entry [#60], filed August 17, 2010.) Given the various extensions of relevant deadlines contemplated by that order, it would be unrealistic to expect this case to be ready for trial at the time currently scheduled.

Modification of the trial date actually impacts this court's Trial Preparation Conference Order [#33], filed March 4, 2010, not the Scheduling Order [#35], filed March 4, 2010, entered by the magistrate judge. "[#59]" is an example of the convention I use to identify the docket number assigned to a specific paper by the court's case management and electronic case filing system (CM/ECF). I use this convention throughout this order.
