Opinion
Civil Action No. 12-cv-02304-REB-MJW

KALI JEMMA BAKER, Plaintiff, v. RYAN O'HAYRE, in his individual capacity, Defendant.
Judge Robert E. Blackburn
ORDER DENYING MOTION
FOR EARLY NEUTRAL EVALUATION
Blackburn, J.
The matter is before me on the Stipulated Motion For Order To Participate in Early Neutral Evaluation With Magistrate Judge Hegarty [#26] filed March 22, 2013. After reviewing the motion, the record, and D.C.COLO.LCivR 16.6, I conclude that the motion should be denied.
"[#26]" 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.
This case is assigned to me and the Honorable Michael J. Watanabe, United States Magistrate Judge for the District of Colorado. There is no showing that Magistrate Judge Watanabe is unwilling or unable to conduct an early neutral evaluation. Thus, the motion should be denied.
THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the Stipulated Motion For Order To Participate in Early Neutral Evaluation With Magistrate Judge Hegarty [#26] filed March 22, 2013, is DENIED
Dated March 25, 2013, at Denver, Colorado.
BY THE COURT:
