MINUTE ORDER
Entered by Magistrate Judge Nina Y. Wang
This matter is before the court on the Parties’ Stipulations Regarding Expert Disclosures
and Fact Discovery [#36-37] (the “Stipulations”). Pursuant to the Order Referring Case [#15]
dated August 18, 2015, the Reassignment [#31] dated February 10, 2015, and the Memorandum
[#38] dated May 8, 2015, the Stipulations are before this Magistrate Judge.
In light of the Stipulations, the court advises counsel for the Parties that stipulations to
extend time, including with respect to discovery, are not permitted pursuant to Local Rule except
with respect to the exceptions enumerated in D.C.COLO.LCivR 6.1. Parties are instead required
to file a motion seeking such relief from the court. D.C.COLO.LCivR 6.1. Under presiding
Judge Brimmer’s Practice Standards, such a motion requires a showing of “good cause,” and
“agreement of counsel, inconvenience to counsel or to the parties; the press of business; conflicts
in scheduling; or practice as a sole practitioner” does not constitute “good cause.” Practice
Standards I.(G).
