Civil Action No. 11-cv-01687-PAB-CBS

Judge Philip A. Brimmer
ORDER
This matter comes before the Court on plaintiff's Motion for Reassignment to Magistrate Judge David West [Docket No. 16]. Having reviewed the motion, response, and reply, the Court concludes that the motion should be granted.
Plaintiff's counsel sent the Court a letter on October 25, 2011, a courtesy copy of which was emailed to counsel for defendants. Requests of the Court should typically be in form of motions. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 7(b)(1). Accordingly, the Court has not considered this letter because it does not conform with D.C.COLO.LCivR 7.1.
Accordingly, it is
ORDERED that plaintiff's Motion for Reassignment to Magistrate Judge David West [Docket No. 16] is GRANTED. It is further
ORDERED that this case shall be REASSIGNED to David L. West, United States Magistrate Judge for the District of Colorado, subject to the terms of the Order of Reference to United States Magistrate Judge [Docket No. 4]. It is further
ORDERED that, in all future filings, the case number shall be shown as 11-cv-01687-PAB-DW.
BY THE COURT:
PHILIP A. BRIMMER
United States District Judge
