MINUTE ORDER
ORDER ENTERED BY MAGISTRATE JUDGE KATHLEEN M. TAFOYA
Defendant Randall Blair's "Motion to Amend Answer to Add Counterclaim" (Doc. No. 563, filed February 9, 2012) is DENIED without prejudice. The parties specifically were advised by this court during the Scheduling Conference held on January 18, 2012, that they are required to confer by email, in accordance with D.C.COLO.LCivR 7.1A, before filing any motions other than motions under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12 and 56. Even though Plaintiff did not orally object to
Defendant Blair's filing of a counterclaim during the Scheduling Conference, she also did not assent to the filing; nor was the Scheduling Conference time for the parties to confer on such a motion. Defendant Blair has failed to comply with this court's Order and the local rule.
