Filing 19

ORDER setting a telephonic Status Conference for 5/29/2015 10:00 AM, before Judge Robert E. Blackburn, by Judge Robert E. Blackburn on 5/22/15. (dkals, )

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO
Judge Robert E. Blackburn
Civil Action No. 14-cv-01143-REB
JOSEPHINE ALBA,
Plaintiff,
v.
CAROLYN W. COLVIN, Acting Commissioner of Social Security,
Defendant.

ORDER
Blackburn, J.
This matter is before me sua sponte. It has come to the court’s attention that the
parties previously indicated their intention to consent to the resolution of this case by a
United States Magistrate Judge. (See Joint Case Management Plan for Social
Security Cases ¶ 10 at 3 [#14],1 filed July 7, 2014.) Despite this ostensible agreement,
the parties have not yet filed the form of consent required by D.C.COLO.LCivR 72.2(d)
to permit the exercise of consent jurisdiction by a magistrate judge.
The court thus finds that a telephonic status conference is necessary to clarify
this issue.
THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED as follows:

1. That the court shall conduct a telephonic (non-appearance) status conference
1
“[#12]” is an example of the convention I use to identify the docket number assigned to a
specific paper by the court’s management and electronic case filing system (CM/ECF). I use this
convention throughout this order.

on Friday, May 29, 2015, at 10:00 a.m. (MDT), at which time counsel for both parties
shall contact the court’s Judicial Assistant at [phone] to discuss the parties’
ostensible consent to reassigning this matter to the jurisdiction of the magistrate judge,
as indicated by their previous submission to the court; and
2. That counsel for plaintiff shall arrange, initiate, and coordinate the conference
call necessary to facilitate the status conference.
Dated May 22, 2015, at Denver, Colorado.
BY THE COURT:
