MINUTE ORDER
Entered by Michael E. Hegarty, United States Magistrate Judge, on August 31, 2012.
Defendants’ Motion to Compel Disclosures and Responses to Discovery Pursuant to Fed.
R. Civ. P. Rule 37 [filed August 30, 2012; docket #59] is denied without prejudice for failure to
comply with D.C. Colo. LCivR 7.1A. The Court reminds the parties that it “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. ” D.C. Colo. LCivR 7.1A (emphasis added). It is the responsibility
of the moving party to “state in the motion, or in a certificate attached to the motion, the specific
efforts to comply with this rule...” Id. Defendants’ motion contains no such certificate, nor any other
indication that counsel for Defendants attempted to confer with counsel for Plaintiffs prior to
seeking relief from the Court.
