ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO VACATE AND CONTINUE TRIAL
Blackburn, J.
This matter is before me on the Joint Motion To Vacate Final Pre-trial
Conference and Trial Setting and Request for Expedited Ruling [#80]1 filed January
3, 2014. The joint motion is, by definition, unopposed.
On September 12, 2013, I entered an order [#59] certifying conditionally a
collective action concerning the claims of the plaintiffs under the Fair Labor Standards
Act. The deadline for receipt of consent to join forms was December 10, 2013, and
forms were received from 13 opt-in plaintiffs. Based on the possible addition of thirteen
new plaintiffs in this case, the parties agree that the pretrial conference, currently set
February 7, 2014, and the trial, currently set to commence March 3, 2014, should be
continued. The parties seek additional time so they may conduct proper discovery as to

the 13 new opt-in plaintiffs. Given these circumstances, I agree that additional time is
necessary to permit the parties to conduct discovery concerning the new opt-in
plaintiffs.
THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED as follows:
1. That the Joint Motion To Vacate Final Pre-trial Conference and Trial
Setting and Request for Expedited Ruling [#80] filed January 3, 2014, is GRANTED.
2. That the combined Trial Preparation Conference and Final Pretrial
Conference set February 7, 2014, at 3:30 p.m. and the trail set to begin March 3, 2014,
at 8:30 a.m., are VACATED and CONTINUED pending further order;
3. That counsel SHALL CONTACT the court’s administrative assistant, Susan
Schmitz, at (303) 335-2350 on January 31, at 10:00 a.m., to reschedule the combined
Trial Preparation Conference and Final Pretrial Conference and the trial;
4. That counsel for the plaintiff SHALL ARRANGE, INITIATE, and
COORDINATE the conference call necessary to facilitate the setting conference;
5. That the Trial Preparation Conference Order [#18] filed January 8, 2013, is
AMENDED as stated in this order; and
6. That otherwise, the Trial Preparation Conference Order [#18] filed January
8, 2013, SHALL REMAIN in full force and effect.
Dated January 21, 2014, at Denver, Colorado.
