IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO
Civil Action No. 15-cv-02104-MSK-MEH
TIM DUNCAN,
Plaintiff,
v.
CHARLES BANKS,
Defendant.
______________________________________________________________________________
MINUTE ORDER
______________________________________________________________________________
Entered by Michael E. Hegarty, United States Magistrate Judge, on January 6, 2016.
Plaintiff’s Unopposed Motion to Amend Scheduling Order [filed January 5, 2016; docket
#35] is granted in part and denied in part. There is nothing in the operative Scheduling Order
demonstrating that the deadline for joinder of parties and amendment of pleadings “affects” the
remaining deadlines; in fact, in this District, such deadline is presumptively set 45 days after the
scheduling conference in accordance with D.C. Colo. LCivR App. F.1. Beyond his conclusory
statement in this regard, the Plaintiff provides no other justification for extending deadlines other
than that set for joinder of parties and amending the pleading.
Thus, for good cause shown, paragraph 9 of the operative Scheduling Order shall be
modified as follows:
A.

Deadline for Joinder of Parties and Amendment of Pleadings:

February 8, 2016

1.

March 9, 2016

Deadline for Answer or Response to Amended Pleading:

All other deadlines and conference dates shall remain the same.
