ENTERED BY MAGISTRATE JUDGE KRISTEN L. MIX
This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff’s Motion for Conference Call [Docket
No. 40; Filed September 11, 2012] (the “Motion”), in which Plaintiff, who is pro se, asks to
appear at the upcoming Scheduling Conference by telephone because he lives in Arlington,
Texas. As an initial matter, the Motion does not comply with D.C.COLO.LCivR 7.1A, which
provides as follows:
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. Nevertheless, in the interest of
expedience,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Motion [#40] is GRANTED. Accordingly,
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff may appear by telephone at the Scheduling
Conference on September 24, 2012 at 9:30 a.m. by dialing the Court at 303-335-2770. If
any other parties are granted leave to appear telephonically, these parties must initiate a
conference call between themselves and Plaintiff before dialing the Court.
