IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO
Civil Action No. 14-cv-00972-MEH
MARIA Y. RODGERS,
Plaintiff,
v.
PAYLESS SHOE SOURCE,
Defendant.

MINUTE ORDER
Entered by Michael E. Hegarty, United States Magistrate Judge, on May 22, 2014.
Defendant’s Motion to Amend the Caption to Include the Correct Entity Name of Defendant
to Payless Shoesource, Inc. [filed May 22, 2014; docket # 10], is denied without prejudice for
failure to comply with D.C. Colo. LCivR 7.1(a), which states,
Before filing a motion, counsel for the moving party or an unrepresented party
shall confer or make reasonable good faith efforts to confer with any opposing
counsel or unrepresented party to resolve any disputed matter. The moving party
shall describe in the motion, or in a certificate attached to the motion, the specific
efforts to fulfill this duty.
The Court reminds the parties of their continuing obligations to comply fully with Fed. R. Civ. P.
37(a)(1) and D.C. Colo. LCivR 7.1(a). See Hoelzel v. First Select Corp., 214 F.R.D. 634, 636 (D.
Colo. 2003) (because Rule 7.1A requires meaningful negotiations by the parties, the rule is not
satisfied by one party sending the other party a single email, letter or voicemail).
