IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

Civil Action No. 15-cv-01571-WYD-MJW
MANDY’S LTD, a Colorado Limited Liability Company, and
AMANDA MACHAN,
Plaintiffs,
v.
TIMEPAYMENT CORP., a Delaware corporation, and
SALON AND BEAUTY SOURCE, INC., a Floriday corporation, d/b/a SalonSmart,
Defendants.
MINUTE ORDER
Entered by Magistrate Judge Michael J. Watanabe
It is hereby ORDERED that Defendant TimePayment Corp.’s first Motion to
Amend Answer and Counterclaim (Docket No. 24) and second Motion to Amend
Answer and Counterclaim (Docket No. 26) are both DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
The moving Defendant’s certificate of conferral does not suggest that Defendant came
anywhere near meeting its obligation to meet and confer with Plaintiff prior to filing
these motions. D.C.COLO.LCivR 7.1(a) requires the moving party to “make reasonable
good faith efforts . . . to resolve any disputed matter.” This standard cannot be satisfied
by sending a single email asking whether opposing counsel does or does not oppose
the motion.
