ENTERED BY MAGISTRATE JUDGE KRISTEN L. MIX
This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff’s letter, filed by the Clerk’s Office as a
Motion to Amend [Docket No. 43; Filed January 9, 2012] (the “Motion”).
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Motion is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE for
Plaintiff’s failure to comply with D.C.COLO.LCivR 7.1A.,1 which requires Plaintiff to confer
with opposing counsel prior to filing such a motion:
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.
The Motion is subject to denial on this basis alone. The Court has already warned Plaintiff
that she must comply with all Local Rules. See Order [#36]; Minute Order [#42]. Plaintiff
has not shown the Court that she made a “reasonable, good faith effort” to confer. After
contacting opposing counsel about a disputed matter, the moving party is advised to wait
at least three business days for a response before filing a motion with the Court.
