ORDER FOR ADMINISTRATIVE CLOSURE

This matter is before the Court sua sponte. Defendant’s Motion to Stay Pending
Resolution of Similar [ ] State Case in Arapahoe County District Court (Doc. # 28), was
granted by Minute Order (Doc. # 32) dated September 3, 2013. Upon further review of
the case file, rather than allow the matter to remain open for an indeterminate number of
months or possibly years and require the filing of monthly status reports, it is hereby
ORDERED as follows:
1.

Pursuant to D.C.Colo.LCivR 41.2, the Clerk of the Court is directed to

ADMINISTRATIVELY CLOSE the above-referenced civil action for one year until
September 12, 2014, at which time this case will be dismissed entirely, unless one
or both of the parties file a motion prior to that date, updating the Court on the status

of the state court proceedings and requesting that this case remain pending as
administratively closed.
2.

Within 14 days of the resolution of the state case, provided the case

has not been dismissed, the parties are DIRECTED to file a notice informing the Court
of the resolution and requesting that the case be either dismissed or reopened.
DATED: September
