IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO
Civil Action No. 12-cv-03218-RM-MJW
WILLIAM BAZAREWSKI and
HEATHER BAZAREWSKI,
Plaintiff(s),
v.
THE VAIL CORPORATION d/b/a VAIL RESORTS MANAGEMENT COMPANY,
Defendant(s).
MINUTE ORDER
Entered by Magistrate Judge Michael J. Watanabe
It is hereby ORDERED that Defendant The Vail Corporation’s Motion to Compel
Rule 26(a)(1) Disclosures and Discovery Responses (Docket No. 46) is granted.
Plaintiff1 did not file any response to the motion, and thus the motion is deemed
confessed. Furthermore, for the reasons stated in the subject motion, the court finds
that the plaintiff’s records related to the claims regarding the divorce and loss of income
are relevant to the damages asserted in this case and are discoverable. Having not
responded to the motion, plaintiff has not met his burden of demonstrating otherwise.
It is thus further ORDERED that on or before January 16, 2014, plaintiff shall fully
respond to Defendant’s Second Set of Requests for Production of Documents (Docket
No. 46-1).
It is further ORDERED that plaintiff shall pay the defendant’s reasonable attorney
fees and expenses incurred by defendant in bringing the subject motion. The parties
shall meet and confer to seek an agreement as to the amount of such reasonable
attorney fees and expenses. If such an agreement is reached, they shall file notice with
the court of such agreement. If such an agreement cannot be reached, then on or
before January 16, 2014, defendant shall affidavit(s) and billing records supporting its
claim for reasonable attorney fees and expenses. Plaintiff shall then have 14 days from
the defendant’s filing to file a response, and defendant shall then have 7 days to file any
reply.
