JUSTIN LENTZ, Plaintiff, v. AMICA MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY, Defendant.
MINUTE ORDER
Entered by Michael E. Hegarty , United States Magistrate Judge, on February 19, 2013.
Plaintiff's Motion for Leave to File Amended Complaint [filed February 12, 2013; docket #15] is denied without prejudice for failure to comply fully 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). The pending Motion states only that Plaintiff's counsel "attempted to confer with counsel for Defendant, but ha[d] not received a response from defense counsel prior to the filing of the motion." This description is insufficient for the Court determine whether or not Plaintiff's counsel made a good-faith effort to obtain Defendant's position prior to seeking relief from the Court.
