IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO
Civil Action No. 13-cv-00957-KMT-MEH
BILLY JACK WIGLESWORTH,
Plaintiff,
v.
CHRISTOPHER PAGEL, and
THE GEO GROUP INC.,
Defendants.

MINUTE ORDER
Entered by Michael E. Hegarty, United States Magistrate Judge, on December 1, 2015.
Before the Court are two motions in the above-captioned case. First, Defendants’ Motion
to Vacate and Reset the December 14, 2015, Settlement Conference and Motion for Telephone
Appearance [filed November 30, 2015; docket #115] is granted as follows.
For good cause shown, the Court vacates the Settlement Conference currently set for
December 14, 2015, and orders counsel for Defendants to telephone my Chambers on or before
December 4, 2015, at 303.844.4507 to reschedule the Settlement Conference in this case. The
Court also grants the request for Defendant GEO Group’s claims representative to appear
telephonically; however, the Court reminds Defendant GEO Group that this representative is
required to have full authority to negotiate all terms and demands presented by the case, and full
authority to enter into a settlement agreement [see Minute Order, docket #112].
Also before the Court is Plaintiff’s Notice [filed November 27, 2015; docket #114], which
the Court construes as a Motion and grants. As Magistrate Judge Kathleen M. Tafoya has
previously allowed in this case [see dockets #104, 107], this Court will initiate a telephone call to
Plaintiff for the Settlement Conference as his Notice indicates challenges for him to initiate the call.
The Court will telephone Plaintiff at 907.864.8100; if this is an incorrect telephone number, Plaintiff
is ordered to update the information with the Court five days before the Settlement Conference.
The Court will issue an additional minute order with the new date for the Settlement Conference as
soon as that date has been determined.
In addition to notice of filing of this Minute Order being provided to the parties, it is
ORDERED that the office of the Clerk shall mail a copy of this Minute Order to the following:
