CAMACHO, P.A., and
FIVE JOHN/JANE DOES,
Defendants.
______________________________________________________________________________
ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR CLARIFICATION (ECF NO. 105)
______________________________________________________________________________
THIS MATTER is before the Court on Plaintiff’s Motion for Clarification seeking an
order to “clarify” a certain Stipulation of Compromise Settlement (“Stipulation”). (ECF No.
105.) The Court is mindful that Plaintiff proceeds pro se and reviews his papers liberally and
holds them to a less stringent standard than those drafted by attorneys. See Haines v. Kerner,
404 U.S. 519, 520 (1972); Trackwell v. United States Govt., 472 F.3d 1242, 1243 (10th Cir.
2007). Nonetheless, in the Motion, Plaintiff argues summarily the Stipulation he entered into
was made under duress but fails to provide any specifics or support. Plaintiff also contends that
he did not have an opportunity to consult with counsel but he has no counsel in this matter and
fails to substantiate such contention. As such, the requested order for the parties/counsel to
provide a clarification of the Stipulation cannot be sustained. Correspondingly, to the extent that

Plaintiff also requests the reopening of this administratively closed case based on such
arguments, they are insufficient to show good cause. See D.C.COLO.LCivR 41.2. It is therefore
ORDERED that Plaintiff’s Motion for Clarification (ECF No. 105) is DENIED.
DATED this 9th day of June, 2014.
BY THE COURT:
