IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO
Civil Action No. 15-cv-01503-REB-KLM
KURT RIGGEN, Chief of the Ki Kiallus Indian Nation,
Plaintiff,
v.
JEAN WOODFORD, Judge, and
THOMAS VANCE, Judge,
Defendants.

MINUTE ORDER
_____________________________________________________________________
ENTERED BY MAGISTRATE JUDGE KRISTEN L. MIX
This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff’s first Opposed Motion Pursuant to
FRCP Rule 15(a) for Leave to File Amended Complaint [#19] (the “Initial Motion”) and
on Plaintiff’s second Opposed Motion Pursuant to FRCP Rule 15(a) for Leave to File
Amended Complaint [#21] (the “Second Motion”). The Initial Motion was filed on January
29, 2016. Plaintiff there stated that he would be tendering an amended complaint on
February 1, 2016. See [#19] at 1. On February 1, 2016, Plaintiff filed the Second Motion,
in which he stated that he will tender an amended complaint in three weeks’ time.
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Initial Motion [#19] is DENIED as moot.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Second Motion [#21] is DENIED without
prejudice. Plaintiff has already been warned that, in order to amend his complaint, he
must file a motion which complies with the federal and local rules, namely, Fed. R. Civ. P.
15 and D.C.COLO.LCivR 15.1, and which includes the proposed amended complaint as
a document separate from the Motion. See Minute Order [#18]. Neither of these Motions
includes a tendered amended complaint, and the Court will not permit piecemeal
adjudication of Plaintiff’s case. Plaintiff must include all claims he seeks to bring and
defendants he intends to name in a proposed amended complaint.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the deadline to join parties and amend pleadings
is February 23, 2016. No attempts to file an amended complaint will be permitted
after that date, absent extraordinary circumstances.
Dated: February 2, 2016
