ORDERED as follows: 1. The final deadline for filing all dispositive* motions in this case is:

October 22, 2007.
The magistrate judge designated below may modify this deadline for any particular motion or for all such motions if the modification results in shortening the deadline. The deadline shall not be extended except by my order, entered only upon (1) written motion demonstrating "good cause" for an extension (see Fed. R. Civ. P. 16[b]) and (2) the assigned magistrate judge's written recommendation setting forth the reasons for believing there is "good cause" for the extension and proposing that the motion be granted. The discovery cutoff is October 3, 2007. The magistrate may modify this at will. 2. United States Magistrate Judge Craig B. Shaffer is designated to conduct the following proceedings in this civil action: ! Conduct status conferences and issue orders necessary for scheduling in the case ; ! Convene such settlement conferences and direct such related procedures as may facilitate resolution of this case; ! Hear and determine any pretrial matter, including discovery matters and non-dispositive motions (i.e., motions other than those excepted by 28 U.S.C. § 636[b][1][A]); 3. Unless otherwise ordered by me or the assigned magistrate judge, counsel and pro se litigants will follow all instructions contained in my Practice Standards -- Civil. Copies are available from the Office of the Clerk, United States District Court for the District of Colorado. Particular attention is called to the section styled "SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS CONCERNING MOTIONS FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT." I will set dates for a final pretrial conference (see Fed. R. Civ. P. 16[d]), a trial preparation conference, and the trial after any motions for summary judgment and other dispositive motions have been resolved.

A "dispositive motion" ordinarily encompasses a "motion for injunctive relief, for judgment on the pleadings, for summary judgment, . . . to dismiss or to permit maintenance of a class action, to dismiss for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted, and to involuntarily dismiss an action." 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(A). -2-
