RICHARD HOUK, and KENYA HOUK, Plaintiffs, v. THE TRAVELERS HOME AND MARINE INSURANCE COMPANY, dba Travelers, Defendant.
MINUTE ORDER
ENTERED BY MAGISTRATE JUDGE KRISTEN L. MIX
This matter is before the Court on Plaintiffs' Motion for Joinder Pursuant to F.R.C.P. 20 [Docket No. 20; Filed June 11, 2012] (the "Motion"). Plaintiffs have failed to comply with D.C.COLO.LCivR 7.1A., which provides as follows: "The court 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 or a pro se party to resolve the disputed matter." Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Motion is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. The parties are cautioned that Rule 7.1A. requires "meaningful negotiations." Hoelzel v. First Select Corp., 214 F.R.D. 634, 635 (D. Colo. 2003).
