ORDER
Blackburn, J.
The matter is before the court on the government's Notice To Request Criminal Case No. 12-cr-00096-REB-04 Be Referred To Magistrate Judge [#79] filed August 8, 2012. After reviewing the notice and the record, I conclude that the notice should be approved and that this matter should be referred to the duty magistrate judge for disposition of a misdemeanor plea.
"[#3]" 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.
THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED as follows:
1. That the government's Notice To Request Criminal Case No. 12-cr-00096-REB-04 Be Referred To Magistrate Judge [#79] filed August 8, 2012, is APPROVED;
2. That Defendant Felix's Notice of Disposition [#76] filed July 12, 2012, is REFERRED to the duty magistrate for disposition of a misdemeanor plea; and
3. That the Trial Preparation Conference set for Friday, August 10, 2012, at 3:00 p.m., and the jury trial set to commence August 13, 2012, are VACATED.
Dated August 8, 2012, at Denver, Colorado.
BY THE COURT:
