4. In its Response to the Motion for Preliminary Injunction, Defendant requested an
evidentiary hearing on Plaintiff’s Motion for Preliminary Injunction. Defendant also requested a
status hearing to discuss the Court’s and counsel’s schedule, the expectations and parameters for
an evidentiary hearing, and the timing of prehearing disclosure of witnesses and exhibits.
5. The parties agree that a Status Conference would allow the Court and the parties to
discuss the details of the Preliminary Injunction Hearing and a schedule for the pre-hearing
disclosure of witnesses and exhibits.
6. The parties further agree and respectfully submit that setting a schedule for the
Preliminary Injunction Hearing should take precedence over an initial scheduling conference
pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(b) and D.C.COLO.LCivR 16.1. Consequently, the parties request
this Court stay submission of a proposed scheduling order and the corresponding requirements of
Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(f) pending resolution of the Motion for Preliminary Injunction.
7. This motion is not brought for improper purposes, but instead is intended to
promote efficiency in time and resources for the parties and the Court.
WHEREFORE, the parties respectfully request the Court set a status hearing to discuss
scheduling and parameters of an evidentiary Preliminary Injunction Hearing, as well as the timing
of prehearing disclosure of witnesses and exhibits; and stay submission of a proposed scheduling
order and the corresponding requirements of Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(f) pending resolution of the Motion
for Preliminary Injunction; and for all other and further relief as this Court deems just and
appropriate.
