SERVICE OF PROCESS: Returns of Service for all defendants shall be filed within sixty (60) days of the filing of the Complaint. B. DEFAULT JUDGMENT: Application for default judgment shall be filed within twenty (20) days after default has occurred and should comply with C.R.C.P. 55 and 121 §1-14. C. CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE: No later than 45 days after the case is at issue, the responsible attorney shall file a Certificate of Compliance stating that the parties have complied with all the requirements or, if they have not complied with each requirement, shall identify the requirements which have not been fulfilled and set forth any reasons for the failure to comply. C.R.C.P. 16(b)(7) or C.R.C.P. 16.1(b)(h). (Revised 01/24/11) Page 1 of 4 The Court will consider extending these deadlines only upon the timely filing of a motion showing good cause. If an attorney or self-represented party fails to comply with Part II of this Order, the Court may dismiss the case without prejudice. This Order shall serve as the initial notice required by C.R.C.P. 41(b)(2) and C.R.C.P. 121 § 1-10. III. DISCOVERY DISPUTES The parties are encouraged to agree on an individual who will act as a mediator in the event of a discovery dispute. The mediator’s job is to help (1) avoid and (2) resolve discovery problems, providing a speedy, efficient, and economical result. If a problem arises and agreement is not possible, the mediator will resolve it by ruling on the issue. If the parties so agree, they shall move the Court to appoint the agreed-upon person as a “special master” pursuant to C.R.C.P. 53 and C.R.S. §§ 13-22-302(8) and 13-22313(1). The court may also appoint a master on its own volition pursuant to C.R.C.P. 53. IV. CASE MANAGEMENT ORDER FOR CASES TO WHICH SIMPLIFIED PROCEDURE OF C.R.C.P. 16.1 APPLIES: C.R.C.P. 16.1, effective for cases filed on or after July 1, 2004, will apply unless a party timely and properly elects to exclude the case from its provisions. Please refer to C.R.C.P. 16.1(d) for the deadlines and procedures if a party wishes to be excluded from the simplified procedures of C.R.C.P. 16.1. This Rule does not apply to those cases listed at C.R.C.P. 16.1(b). However, the parties may stipulate that the simplified procedures of C.R.C.P. 16.1 apply to a case in which a party is seeking a monetary judgment of more than $100,000, provided the parties comply with the provisions of C.R.C.P. 16.1(e) for inclusion under this Rule. This Court has adopted and will follow the presumptive deadlines set forth in C.R.C.P. 16.1; however, the judges in this district have set a deadline that the responsible attorney set the case for trial no more than thirty days after the case is at issue, as opposed to the forty- day limit set forth in the Rule. C.R.C.P. 16.1(g). Please see Section V.A below, regarding the deadline for contacting the division clerk to schedule a trial in this district and the contact information for each district court civil division. The Court encourages the parties to refer to C.R.C.P. 16.1, especially the sections regarding disclosures and discovery, as C.R.C.P. 16.1 procedures and deadlines differ substantially from C.R.C.P. 16. Please Note: If you elect to be excluded from application of the simplified procedure pursuant to C.R.C.P. 16.1(d), or if Rule 16.1 does not apply to your case, then the presumptive case management order of C.R.C.P. 16 will apply, with this Court’s modifications as outlined in Section V & VI below. V. CASE MANAGEMENT ORDER FOR CASES TO WHICH C.R.C.P. 16 APPLIES: Pursuant to C.R.C.P. 16(b), as amended February 13, 2002 (effective July 1, 2002), a presumptive Case Management Order controls the course of these proceedings. Therefore, the presumptive deadlines set forth in C.R.C.P. 16(b)(4) through 16(b)(10) apply. A. TRIAL SETTING: A Notice to Set Trial by Telephone shall be filed. Trial shall be set no later than thirty (30) days after the date the case is at issue. Settings are conducted by telephone and (Revised 01/24/11) Page 2 of 4 are non-appearance settings.

PRETRIAL MOTION DEADLINES FOR CASES TO WHICH C.R.C.P. 16 APPLIES: A. SHRECK MOTIONS: To the extent a party wishes to challenge an opposing expert witness under C.R.E. 702 and People v. Shreck, 22 P.3d 68 (Colo. 2001), such motions setting forth the basis for the challenge shall be filed no later than sixty-five (65) days prior to trial. If a hearing is necessary, it shall be held no later than forty-five (45) days prior to trial. B. MOTIONS IN LIMINE: All motions in limine must be filed no later than twenty-one (21) calendar days prior to trial. A party wishing to file a response to the motion in limine must do so within five (5) calendar days of the date the motion in limine was filed with the court. A reply may be filed within five (5) calendar days of the date the response was filed with the court. If a request for a modified case management order is filed pursuant to C.R.C.P. 16(c), the deadlines set forth in the proposed modified order shall include those set forth above. VII. ALTERNATE DISPUTE RESOLUTION Cases in which trial length is two (2) days or more, the parties shall engage in alternate dispute resolution (“ADR”). While the Court prefers mediation, the parties may agree to any form of ADR defined in C.R.S. §§ 13-22-301 to -313. Plaintiff’s counsel or responsible attorney (if Plaintiff is self-represented) must file a certificate of completion of ADR at least seventy-five (75) days before trial. The court may schedule a status conference after receipt of the certificate of completion of ADR. VIII. PLEADINGS A.
