Opinion
Criminal Case No. 12-cr-00142-REB
09-11-2012
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. 1. SHANITO BLACKHORSE, Defendant.
Judge Robert E. Blackburn
MINUTE ORDER
This minute order is issued pursuant to the express authority of the Honorable Robert E. Blackburn, United States District Judge for the District of Colorado.
The matter is before the court on defendant's Notice of Disposition, Motion For All Parties To Appear By Video For Disposition and Motion For Immediate Sentencing [#31]. After reviewing the document and the record, the court has concluded that the motion for all parties to appear by video for the disposition should be granted but that the motion for immediate sentencing should be deferred until the conclusion of the change of plea hearing.
"[#31]" is an example of the convention I use to identify the docket number assigned to a specific paper by the court's electronic case filing and management system (CM/ECF). I use this convention throughout this order.

West, shall be included in the conference call and concomitant setting; and
