Shepherds To Settle Conspiracy Claim After Attys Find Client
Law360 (April 15, 2021, 7:23 PM EDT) Peruvian shepherds who allege that ranchers conspired to suppress their wages while on temporary work visas have reached a settlement over their remaining claims, after a Colorado federal court criticized their counsel for losing track of one of the workers.
Counsel for the shepherds filed a response on Thursday to a show-cause order issued last month by U.S. Magistrate Judge Scott T. Varholak, who said it was troubling that attorneys failed to notify the court they had been unable to contact client Esliper Huaman since at least late 2019, when the Tenth Circuit revived the case.
Colorado man going to Washington to face riot charges
January 29, 2021 GMT
DENVER (AP) A federal magistrate judge on Friday ordered a Colorado man who is accused of using bear spray or mace on police officers in the deadly U.S. Capitol riot be sent to Washington to face charges there.
During a virtual hearing in Denver federal court, Robert Gieswein, 24, of Woodland Park waived his right to have a hearing to determine that he is the person indicted on six counts, three for allegedly assaulting police, in the nation’s Capitol, ending proceedings in Colorado.
While others arrested in Colorado over allegedly participating in the Jan. 6 riot have been released from custody, Magistrate Judge Scott T. Varholak ruled last week that Gieswein should be held because he posed a risk to the public since he went to the Capitol “prepared for battle,” equipped with a baseball bat, a reinforced vest and an Army helmet.

Colo. Judge Says Mine Suit Decades Too Late
Law360 (January 27, 2021, 2:23 PM EST) A Colorado magistrate judge has recommended dismissal of a suit accusing an Arch Resources-owned coal mine of violating environmental law, finding that an expansion project can t restart the clock on claims stemming from the initial construction of the mine decades ago.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Scott T. Varholak said Tuesday the suit, brought by WildEarth Guardians, the Sierra Club, the Center for Biological Diversity, and High Country Conservation Advocates against Arch Resources Inc., didn t adequately allege the West Elk coal mine expansion qualified as a major change or that it would cause a significant uptick in the mine s emissions, so claims it.
