Opinion
Civil Action No. 07-cv-01044-WDM-KLM.
April 15, 2008
ORDER
The plaintiff Beverly Mann has telephoned my chambers seeking information from my judicial assistant and law clerk on an ex parte basis. Both the assistant and the law clerk are extensions of me as a judicial officer and Plaintiff's efforts are considered by me to be an improper ex parte communication in violation of D.C. COLO. LCivR 77.2. I am informed that the Plaintiff, although an attorney, has declined to become a member of the bar of this court and is therefore not subject to attorney discipline pursuant to the Local Rules. Under these circumstances it is advisable that the Plaintiff be made subject to a specific court order concerning her future communications with this court.
Accordingly, it is ordered that the Plaintiff is prohibited from communicating on a ex parte basis with me and my chambers staff by any means unless submitted by appropriate filing or submission through the Clerk of this court in accordance with D.C.COLO. LCivR 77.2.
