MINUTE ORDER. Plaintiffs Motion to Appear via Telephone For Scheduling Conference 25 is GRANTED. By Magistrate Judge Kristen L. Mix on 4/6/2011.(sah, )

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO Civil Action No. 11-cv-00400-REB-KLM BERNARD KENNETH MYERS, Plaintiff, v. DORWIN DWAYNE HUMMEL, Defendant. _____________________________________________________________________ MINUTE ORDER _____________________________________________________________________ ENTERED BY MAGISTRATE JUDGE KRISTEN L. MIX This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff's Motion to Appear via Telephone For Scheduling Conference [Docket No. 25; Filed April 4, 2011] (the "Motion"). As an initial matter, the Motion does not comply with D.C.COLO.LCivR 7.1, 10.1, and 5.1G. The Motion does not contain a proper caption or a certificate of service, and there is no indication that Plaintiff made efforts to confer with Defendant regarding the requested relief. The Motion is subject to denial on any of these bases. Plaintiff is reminded that, although he is proceeding pro se, he is still required to follow the Court's procedural rules. See Nielson v. Price, 17 F.3d 1276, 1277 (10th Cir. 1994). Despite the Motion's deficiencies, and in the interest of expedience, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Motion is GRANTED. Accordingly, IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff may appear telephonically at the Scheduling Conference on April 27, 2011 at 11:00 a.m. by dialing the Court at 303-3352770. At this juncture, Defendant has not sought leave to appear at the Scheduling Conference by telephone. However, if Defendant is granted leave to appear telephonically, the parties must initiate a conference call between themselves before dialing the Court. Dated: April 6, 2011
