DEBRA GUMLICH, Plaintiff, v. CHRONICLE NEWS PUBLISHING COMPANY, d/b/a THE CHRONICLE NEWS, Defendant.
MINUTE ORDER
Entered by Michael E. Hegarty , United States Magistrate Judge, on May 10, 2012.
Plaintiff's Motion for Leave to Amend Complaint [filed May 9, 2012; docket #20] 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. 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. (emphasis added). Plaintiff's counsel represents that he attempted to confer with counsel for Defendant, but that he has not yet received a response. However, without more information, the Court is not persuaded that counsel has made a reasonable, good-faith effort to confer prior to filing the present motion.
