Plaintiff's "Motion for Defendants to Produce Plaintiff's Rehabilitative Goals and Address Them in an Amendment to Both Motions to Dismiss" (Doc. No. 69, filed May 16, 2012) is DENIED.

Civ. P. 26(a)(1)(B)(iv). Additionally, the local rules of this court provide that a scheduling order and orders for discovery are unnecessary in categories of proceedings listed in Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(1)(B). D.C.COLO.LCivR 16.2.B.2. This court will determine at a later date when and if a scheduling conference will be set. However, the court declines to allow discovery prior to the entry of a scheduling order or discovery order.
