County Court Civil Division, Denver
Denver County, Colorado

Denver, CO 80202
 

DELAY PREVENTION ORDER OF THE PRESIDING JUDGE:

The Court is conducting a judicial review of civil cases that: 1) are not presently set for trial and, 2) are more than 365 days old.  The purpose of this review is to determine whether those actions are being diligently prosecuted.  All interested parties, including but not limited to, pro se plaintiffs and attorneys for plaintiffs are ordered to review the status of any matter, not set for trial, which was filed more than 365 days ago where you were/are Counsel.  You are further directed to file, within 60 days, a Response to Show Cause, listing your case by case number, explaining why that case should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute.

Noncompliance with this Order constitutes a failure to diligently prosecute the action(s), and is grounds to dismiss the action(s) without prejudice through and entry of dismissal by Minute Order in the Registry of Actions without notice to counsel/party.  See Rule 34(b)(2).

Dismissal of an action ny the terms of this Order and entry of that dismissal into the Registry of Actions is a final judgment and that action and its file will be physically purged.  Actions dismissed by this Order will not be subject to reinstatement as an active case unless relief from this Order is permitted by and in accordance with the Colorado Rules of Civil Procedure.  If relief is granted and the case is reinstate, the burden to provide the court with a complete replication of the file is upon the proponent of the reinstatement.

SO ORDERED 9/2/09
