Appendix F

INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARATION
OF SCHEDULING ORDER
When the court has set a scheduling conference pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 16 and
D.C.COLO.LCivR 16.1 and 16.2 , a scheduling order shall be prepared in accordance with
these instructions. The rule 26(f) meeting shall be held at least 21 days before the proposed
scheduling order is due to be tendered. The disclosures required by Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(1)
shall be exchanged at or within 14 days after the rule 26(f) meeting. Do not file any disclosure
statements with the court.
Five days before the scheduling conference (see Fed. R. Civ. P. 6 for all computations
of time), counsel are to tender a proposed scheduling order which shall include the signatures
of counsel and pro se parties and shall provide for approval by the court as specified on the
attached form. Counsel and pro se parties should try, in good faith, to agree upon matters
covered in the scheduling order. Any area of disagreement should be set forth with a brief
statement concerning the basis for the disagreement. The parties should expect that the court
will make modifications in the proposed scheduling order and will want to discuss all issues
affecting management of the case.
D.C.COLO.LCivR 72.2 authorizes magistrate judges to exercise jurisdiction of civil
matters upon the consent of the parties. If all parties have consented to the exercise of
jurisdiction by a magistrate judge pursuant to D.C.COLO.LCivR 72.2, the “Notice of Availability
of a United States Magistrate Judge to Exercise Jurisdiction and Consent to the Exercise of
Jurisdiction by a United States Magistrate Judge” form and a proposed order of reference are to
be filed promptly with the Clerk of the Court and the consent indicated in section 6. of the
proposed scheduling order. Note that D.C.COLO.LCivR 72.2D. provides, in part: "Written
consent to proceed before a magistrate judge must be filed no later than ten days after the
discovery cut-off date. In cases not requiring discovery, the parties shall have 40 days from the
filing of the last responsive pleading to file their unanimous consent." Refer to
D.C.COLO.LCivR 72.2F. if all parties have not been served or in the event additional parties are
added after the scheduling conference.
