IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO
Judge Robert E. Blackburn
Civil Action No. 12-cv-01435-REB-CBS
DAVID LaRIVIERE and LAURA LaRIVIERE, as Guardians and Next Friends of O.L. a minor,
Plaintiffs,
v.
HOME DEPOT U.S.A., INC.,
Defendant.
ORDER
Blackburn, J.
The following motions are before me for consideration: (1) the Agreed Motion For
Appointment of Guardian Ad Litem and Brief in Support Thereof [#19]1 filed September 14,
2012; and (2) the Motion For Forthwith Ruling on The Parties’ Joint Motion For
Appointment of Guardian Ad Litem [#20] filed October 16, 2012. Both motions seek the
appointment of a guardian ad litem to protect the interests of O.L., a minor. However, the parties
presumptiously and erroneously assume that the court has at its disposal a guardian ad litem to
appoint. Thus, I enter this order to require the parties to identify a guardian ad litem who is
qualified and willing to serve.
THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that by October 24, 2012, the parties shall nominate a
guardian ad litem who is qualified and willing to serve on behalf of O.L.
Dated October 17, 2012, at Denver, Colorado.
