v.

Defendants.

MINUTE ORDER
Entered by Michael E. Hegarty, United States Magistrate Judge, on April 11, 2014.
Before the Court are three motions filed by Plaintiff: (1) Request for Immediate Order [on]
Motion for Certification Pursuant to F.R.C.P. Rule 54(b) [filed March 27, 2014; docket # 163]; (2)
Plaintiff’s Motion for Order Granting Permission to Take Oral Testimony [Objection to Close of
Discovery] [filed March 31, 2014; docket # 164]; and (3) Plaintiff’s Motion for Judicial Notice [filed
April 9, 2014; docket # 167]. The Court ORDERS as follows:
1.

Plaintiff’s Request for Immediate Order [on] Motion for Certification Pursuant to F.R.C.P.
Rule 54(b) is denied as moot. The Court ruled on Plaintiff’s Motion for Certification of
Court’s Interlocutory Pursuant to Colorado Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 54(b) (Doc. #
131) during the March 3, 2014 Motion Hearing. (See Doc. # 150.)

2.

Plaintiff’s Motion for Order Granting Permission to Take Oral Testimony [Objection to
Close of Discovery] is denied. At the March 17, 2014 Motion Hearing, the Court ordered
the parties to exchange all correspondence between Defendant Chase and Plaintiff for the
years 2008 through 2012. Otherwise, the Court closed discovery in this case. (See Doc. #
157.) The Court declines to revisit that ruling.

3.

Plaintiff’s Motion for Judicial Notice is denied. The Court finds no need to take judicial
notice of the state court cases Plaintiff identifies because they are irrelevant to any issue
before me at the present time.
