Plaintiffs,
v.
JARED POLIS, GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF COLORADO, in his official capacity, et al.,
Defendants.
DEFENDANTS’ STATUS REPORT
On November 13, 2020, the Court sua sponte extended Plaintiff’s deadline to respond to
Defendants’ motions to dismiss to December 11, 2020. ECF No. 27. The Court also requested a
“joint status report from the parties, in writing and filed in the file of this case, after conferral, as
soon as possible.” Id. The Court’s order stemmed from a telephone message from one of the
named Plaintiffs in this matter “indicating that his lawyer is in the hospital with a life-threatening
illness.” Id.
Since the Court’s order, undersigned counsel have attempted to contact Plaintiffs’
counsel by telephone and email on several occasions. Those attempts have been unsuccessful.
Accordingly, in response to the Court’s November 13, 2020 Order, Defendants jointly report that
they have no update to share with the Court at this time. Defendants will continue their attempts
to contact Plaintiffs’ counsel as appropriate.
