IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO
Civil Action No. 13-cv-02197-WJM-MEH
BEN GUNN, and
JENNIFER GUNN,
Plaintiffs,
v.
WCA LOGISTICS, LLC, and
WCA LOGISTICS II, LLC,
Defendants/Third-Party Plaintiffs,
WILLIAM C. CARTER,
Defendant,
v.
JOHN E. BREEN,
Third-Party Defendant.

MINUTE ORDER
Entered by Michael E. Hegarty, United States Magistrate Judge, on September 22, 2015.
Defendants’ Unopposed Motion to Stay Dispositive Motions Deadline [filed September 21,
2015; docket #227] is granted in part and denied in part.
While Defendants have provided good cause for the extension, the request to extend the
dispositive motions deadline “to 21 days after the Tenth Circuit’s resolution of Mr. Breen’s Petition
for Writ of Mandamus, or 21 days after Defendants obtain copies of the 28 email communications
between Mr. Breen and Mr. Welton” [Motion, docket #227 at 4] lacks specificity to a determined
date. As the Scheduling Order presents a date certain for dispositive motions deadlines (see docket
#25), proposed deadlines must also provide a date certain.
Therefore, the Court denies the Motion to extend the dispositive motions deadline to dates
uncertain, but grants an extension of the dispositive motions deadline until November 30, 2015.
Additionally, the Final Pretrial Conference set for December 14, 2015, at 9:45 a.m., is
vacated and rescheduled for February 29, 2016, at 10:30 a.m. in Courtroom A501 on the fifth
floor of the Alfred A. Arraj United States Courthouse, 901 19th Street, Denver, Colorado.

The parties shall submit their proposed pretrial order, pursuant to District of Colorado
Electronic Case Filing (“ECF”) Procedures V.L. no later than five (5) business days prior to the
pretrial conference. The proposed pretrial order to be submitted to the Magistrate Judge under the
ECF Procedures must be submitted in a useable format (i.e., WordPerfect or Word only) and shall
be emailed to the Magistrate Judge at [e-mail].
Attorneys and/or pro se parties not participating in ECF shall submit their proposed pretrial
order on paper to the Clerk’s Office. However, if any party in this case is participating in ECF, it
is the responsibility of that party to submit the proposed pretrial order pursuant to the District of
Colorado ECF Procedures.
The parties shall prepare the proposed pretrial order in accordance with the form
which may be downloaded in richtext format from the forms section of the court’s website at
http://www.cod.uscourts.gov/Forms.aspx. Instructions for downloading in richtext format are
posted in the forms section of the website.
All out-of-state counsel shall comply with D.C. Colo. LAttyR 3 prior to the pretrial
conference.
The parties are further advised that they shall not assume that the court will grant the relief
requested in any motion. Failure to appear at a court-ordered conference or to comply with a courtordered deadline which has not been vacated by court order may result in the imposition of
sanctions.
Please remember that anyone seeking entry into the Alfred A. Arraj United States
Courthouse will be required to show a valid photo identification. See D.C. Colo. LCivR 83.2(b).
