IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO
Judge Robert E. Blackburn
Civil Action No. 14–cv–03438–REB-KMT
COLTON RAJALA, a minor, by and through his father and next friend, JESSE RAJALA,
Plaintiff,
v.
FISHER-PRICE, INC.,
Defendant.

ORDER OF ADMINISTRATIVE CLOSURE
Blackburn, J.
This matter is before the court on the Stipulated Motion To Hold Case in
Abeyance [#37]1 filed February 1, 2016. After reviewing the stipulated motion and the
record, I conclude that the stipulated motion should be approved and this action should
be closed administratively.
The plaintiff, Colton Rajala, is a minor. The parties have reached a settlement.
The plaintiff now resides in Florida. The law of Colorado and Florida requires probate
court approval of the terms of the settlement involving a minor. The plaintiff intends to
seek probate court approval in Florida. The parties ask that this case be held in
abeyance while the plaintiff seeks probate approval. Once the plaintiff obtains such
approval, the parties will file a stipulation for dismissal of the above-captioned action.
THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED as follows:
1. That the Stipulated Motion To Hold Case in Abeyance [#37] filed February
1, 2016, which I read as a motion to close this case administratively, is granted;
1
“[#37]” is an example of the convention I use to identify the docket number assigned to a specific
paper by the court’s electronic case filing and management system (CM/ECF). I use this convention
throughout this order.

2. That the combined Final Pretrial Conference and Trial Preparation
Conference set for February 26, 2016, and the trial set to begin March 7, 2016, are
vacated and continued without date;
3. That under D.C.COLO.LCivR 41.2, this action is closed administratively; and
4. That under D.C.COLO.LCivR 41.2, the clerk is directed to close this civil
action administratively, subject to reopening for good cause.
Dated February 3, 2015, at Denver, Colorado.
BY THE COURT:
