Judge Robert E. Blackburn
Civil Action No. 13-cv-01986-REB-CBS
KIMBERLEY CARPENTER
Plaintiffs,
v.
AMERICAN FAMILY MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY
Defendant.

ORDER FOR STATUS REPORTS
Blackburn, J.
This matter is before the court on the Defendant’s Motion To Continue Trial
[#121]1 filed October 6, 2014. Having considered the motion, the response [#124], and
the reply [#125], I direct each party to file a status report to provide the court with the
information necessary to determine the appropriate resolution of the motion to continue.
On or before Friday, October 17, 2014, the plaintiff shall file a status report in
which the plaintiff shall state the latest date on which the plaintiff can begin trial within
the trial days currently set on the calendar of the court. The court is aware that the
plaintiff has scheduled her witnesses to conclude testimony by November 5, 2014.
Response [#124], p. 4. However, the court must determine if it is possible for the
plaintiff to present her witnesses, including expert witnesses, later in the extant window
of trial time.

“[#121]” is an example of the convention I use to identify the docket number assigned to a
specific paper by the court’s case management and electronic case filing system (CM/ECF). I use this
convention throughout this order.

On or before Friday, October 17, 2014, the defendant shall file a status report
indicating the number of trial days the defendant needs to present its defense, including
the testimony of Dr. Rauzzino, and the earliest date on which the defendant can begin
to present evidence. The court is aware that Dr. Rauzzino is not available to testify
before November 24, 2014.
THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED as follows:
1. That on or before Friday, October 17, 2014, the plaintiff shall file a status
report in which the plaintiff shall state the latest date on which the plaintiff can begin trial
within the trial days currently set on the calendar of the court, including a brief statement
of the reasons why a later setting cannot be reasonably accommodated; and
2. That on or before Friday, October 17, 2014, the defendant shall file a status
report in which the defendant shall state the number of trial days the defendant needs to
present its defense, including the testimony of Dr. Rauzzino, and the earliest date on
which the defendant can begin to present evidence.
Dated October 14, 2014, at Denver, Colorado.
BY THE COURT:
