ENTERED BY MAGISTRATE JUDGE KRISTEN L. MIX
This matter is before the Court on Defendants’ Motion to Excuse Defendant
Parties’ Attendance at Settlement Conference Scheduled for August 2, 2012 [Docket
No. 19; Filed July 27, 2012] (the “Motion”). As an initial matter, the Motion does not comply
with D.C.COLO.LCivR 7.1A., which alone is a basis for denial. Nevertheless, in the interest
of judicial economy,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Motion is GRANTED as follows. Defendants are
excused from in-person attendance at the Settlement Conference set for August 2, 2012.
However, a representative of Defendant HTC Express, Inc. must be available by telephone
throughout the duration of the conference, and sanctions may be imposed if Defendant
HTC Express, Inc. does not comply with this instruction. The Court notes that an adjuster
from Defendants’ insurance carrier will attend the conference in person.
