GENERAL STEEL DOMESTIC SALES, LLC, d/b/a GENERAL STEEL CORPORATION, a Colorado limited liability company, Plaintiff, v. ETHAN DANIEL CHUMLEY, individually, and ATLANTIC BUILDING SYSTEMS, LLC, a Delaware corporation, d/b/a ARMSTRONG STEEL CORPORATION, Defendants.
MINUTE ORDER
ENTERED BY MAGISTRATE JUDGE KRISTEN L. MIX
This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff's Motion to for Leave to Conduct Depositions [Docket No. 142; Filed January 26, 2012] (the "Motion"). The Motion does not comply with the Court's procedures for resolving discovery disputes. Specifically, the Order Setting Scheduling/Planning Conference provides as follows:
No opposed discovery motions are to be filed with the Court until the parties comply with D.C.COLO.LCivR 7.1A. If the parties are unable to reach agreement on a discovery issue after conferring, they shall arrange a conference call with Magistrate Judge Mix to attempt to resolve the issue. Both of these steps must be completed before any contested discovery motions are filed with the Court.
Order [#5] at 2 (emphasis added); see also Scheduling Order [#20] at 6.
Plaintiff has not arranged a conference call to attempt to resolve the instant discovery dispute. Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Motion is DENIED without prejudice.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that neither party shall file a contested discovery motion until after (1) conferring with the other party pursuant to D.C.COLO.LCivR 7.1A., and (2) contacting the Court to resolve the dispute. Unless a party receives leave from the Court to file an opposed discovery motion, any such motion will be denied. To conduct a hearing regarding a discovery dispute, the parties shall initiate a conference call and then, once all parties are on the line, dial the Court at 303-335-2770.
