Judge Robert E. Blackburn
MINUTE ORDER
This minute order is issued pursuant to the express authority of the Honorable Robert E. Blackburn, United States District Judge for the District of Colorado.
The matter comes before the court on Plaintiffs' Motion For Adoption and Incorporation of Previous Response To Defendants' Motion To Dismiss, (Document No. 50) To Continue as Plaintiffs' Response To Defendants' Motion To Dismiss Amended Complaint (Document No. 63), filed October 13, 2011) [#68] filed January 25, 2012. The motion is DENIED.
The plaintiffs' motion [#68] violates D.C.COLO.LCivR 10.1.E., which requires that all papers filed with the court be double-spaced. The plaintiffs' motion is single spaced.
"[#68]" 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.
In their motion, the plaintiffs ask the court to accept the plaintiffs' response [#50] to a previous motion to dismiss as the plaintiffs' response to the defendants' motion to dismiss the amended complaint [#63]. The motion to dismiss the amended complaint [#63] was filed October 13, 2011.
--------
Granting the plaintiffs' current motion effectively would grant the plaintiffs an eleven week extension of time to file a response to the motion to dismiss. In their motion, the plaintiffs do not state any basis for such an extension of time.
