Defendant.
ORDER SETTING TRIAL DATE AND RELATED DEADLINES
This matter comes before the Court for the setting of a trial date and related
deadlines upon the entry of a Discovery Conference Memorandum and Order.
Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED as follows:
A. 	All pretrial motions shall be filed by no later than July 18, 2013.
Responses to these motions shall be filed by no later than July 29, 2013. No reply shall
be permitted without prior leave of Court. If a party believes an evidentiary hearing on a
pretrial motion is necessary, a written request for same must be made by no later than
the pretrial motion deadline;
B. 	The Court will not consider any motion related to the disclosure or
production of discovery that is addressed by the Discovery Memorandum and Order
and/or Fed. R. Crim. P. 16, unless prior to filing the motion counsel for the moving party
has conferred or made reasonable, good-faith efforts to confer with opposing counsel in
an effort to resolve the disputed matter. If the parties are unable to resolve the dispute,

the moving party shall state in the motion the specific efforts which were taken to
comply with this Order to Confer. Counsel for the moving party shall submit a proposed
order with all motions, opposed and unopposed. Opposed disclosure or discovery
motions which do not demonstrate meaningful compliance with this Order to Confer will
be stricken;
C. 	Expert witness disclosures pursuant to Fed. R. Crim. P. 16 shall
be made no later than seven days before the pretrial motion deadline, and any
challenges to such experts shall be made by said deadline;

after the pretrial motion deadline, and any challenges to such rebuttal experts shall be
made no later than two weeks after said deadline;
E. 	Local Rule D.C.COLO.LCrR 11.1 applies fully to this case. Absent an
Order permitting or directing otherwise, a Notice of Disposition shall be filed no later
than 14 days before the trial date. Upon the filing of a Notice of Disposition the Court
will generally convert the Final Trial Preparation Conference to a Change of Plea
hearing, unless for good cause shown a party demonstrates the interests of justice are
better served by scheduling the Change of Plea hearing at a later date;
