MINUTE ORDER
Entered by Michael E. Hegarty , United States Magistrate Judge, on February 16, 2012.
Plaintiff's Motion for Leave to Amend Pleadings [filed February 13, 2012; docket #36] is denied without prejudice for failure to comply with D.C. Colo. LCivR 7.1A. The Court reminds the parties that it "will not consider any motion, other than a motion under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12 or 56, unless counsel for the moving party or a pro se party, before filing the motion, has conferred or made reasonable, good-faith efforts to confer with opposing counsel. " D.C. Colo. LCivR 7.1A (emphasis added). It is the responsibility of the moving party to "state in the motion, or in a certificate attached to the motion, the specific efforts to comply with this rule." Id. Because the Court has not granted leave to amend and the time for amendment as a matter of course has passed, the Amended Complaint [docket #37] is improperly filed and therefore stricken. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(1).
