ENTERED BY MAGISTRATE JUDGE KRISTEN L. MIX
This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff’s Motion for Leave to Appear by
Telephone for Initial Scheduling/Planning Conference Set for April 4, 2012 [Docket
No. 6; Filed January 23, 2012] (the “Motion”). 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. The Court further notes that Plaintiff’s
counsel incorrectly avers that the Scheduling Conference is set before District Judge
Marcia S. Krieger, when in fact it is set before Magistrate Judge Kristen L. Mix. See Order
Setting Scheduling/Planning Conference [#3]. Nevertheless, in the interest of expedience,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Motion [#6] is GRANTED. Accordingly,
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff’s counsel may appear by telephone at the
Scheduling Conference on April 4, 2012 at 10:30 a.m. by dialing the Court at 303-3352770. If any other parties are granted leave to appear telephonically, these parties must
initiate a conference call between themselves and Plaintiff’s counsel before dialing the
Court.
