Attending the Settlement Conference scheduled for November 16, 2005. As grounds, Mr. Gruppuso states the following: 1. Pursuant to D.C.COLO.LCivR 7.1(A), the undersigned has conferred with

all other counsel in this action regarding the relief sought by this Motion. No Party objects to the relief sought by this Motion. As such, the Motion is unopposed. 2. D.C.COLO.LCivR 16.6 states the following in pertinent part:

... At any stage of the proceedings, on a district judge's initiative or pursuant to motion or stipulation of counsel or the pro se parties, a district judge may direct the parties to a suit to engage in an early settlement conference or other alternative dispute resolution proceeding. ... Relief from an order under this section may be had upon motion showing good cause. ... 3. On September 9, 2005, Defendant First Capital Group filed a Motion to

Assign Settlement Magistrate. Within that Motion, First Capital Group correctly represented, "Gruppuso's counsel advises that they have no objection to the motion but they will ask the court to be excused from attending the conference since they have no ability to contribute to any settlement." On October 24, 2005, the Court issued an Order rescheduling a settlement conference to November 16, 2005. 4. Mr. Gruppuso does not have funds to contribute to a settlement of this

matter. Consequently, good cause exists to excuse Mr. Gruppuso from attending the settlement conference on November 16, 2005. As no Party objects to this Motion, no party can be prejudiced by Mr. Gruppuso's absence. WHEREFORE, Defendant Vito B. Gruppuso respectfully requests that he be excused from attending the settlement conference scheduled for November 16, 2005.
