ENTERED BY MAGISTRATE JUDGE KRISTEN L. MIX
This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff’s Amended Motion Requesting
Discovery [#39] (the “Amended Motion”). The Court denied without prejudice Plaintiff’s
initial Motion Requesting Discovery [#36] for failure to confer pursuant to Local Rule 7.1(a).
Minute Order [#38]. The Amended Motion [#39] corrects that error. However, the Court
also noted that the original Motion failed to comply with D.C.COLO.LCivR 10.1(e), which
mandates that “[a]ll pleadings and documents shall be double spaced.” Minute Order [#38].
The Court warned Plaintiff that “[a]ny documents filed in the future which do not comply
with this rule may be summarily stricken.” Id. The present Amended Motion [#39] fails to
correct that error. Given the Court’s explicit reminder, which was provided to Plaintiff less
than two weeks before the present Amended Motion was filed, the Court finds that Plaintiff
has failed to comply with Local Rule 10.1(e). The Motion may be denied on this basis
alone. Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Motion [#39] is STRICKEN for failure to comply
with Local Rule 10.1(e).
