ORDER re: status conference held 8/28/12. by Magistrate Judge Boyd N. Boland on 8/28/12. (bnbcd, )

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO
Magistrate Judge Boyd N. Boland
Civil Action No. 12-cv-02103-RBJ-BNB
UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, OFFICE OF NATURAL
RESOURCES REVENUE,
Plaintiff,
v.
STATOIL USA E&P, INC.,
Defendant.
______________________________________________________________________________
ORDER
______________________________________________________________________________
The parties appeared this morning for a status conference. At the status conference, the
plaintiff requested that I set a briefing schedule for the determination of the Petition to Enforce
Administrative Subpoena [Doc. # 1] (the “Petition”). The defendant opposed that request,
indicating that it intends to file a motion to dismiss the Petition based on a lack of personal
jurisdiction. The defendant believes that its anticipated motion to dismiss must be determined
before the defendant is required to respond on the merits to the Petition.
Consistent with matters discussed at the status conference,
IT IS ORDERED:
(1)

The defendant shall respond to the Petition to Enforce Administrative Subpoena

[Doc. # 1] (the “Petition”) on or before October 19, 2012; and

(2)

The plaintiff, at its election and if there is supporting authority, may file a motion

seeking an order requiring briefing on the merits of the Petition prior to the determination of the
defendant’s anticipated motion to dismiss.
Dated August 28, 2012.
BY THE COURT:
s/ Boyd N. Boland
United States Magistrate Judge
