  Upon agreement of all appearing parties to a civil action that a specific retired or resigned justice of the supreme court or a retired or resigned judge of any other court be assigned to hear the action and upon agreement that one or more of the parties shall pay the agreed upon salary of the selected justice or judge, together with all other salaries and expenses incurred, the chief justice may assign any retired or resigned justice or retired or resigned intermediate appellate, district, county, probate, or juvenile court judge who consents temporarily to perform judicial duties for such action.

The chief justice may require such undertakings as in his or her opinion may be necessary to ensure that proceedings held pursuant to this section shall be without expense to the state.    Such appointment may be made at any time after the action is at issue.    Orders, decrees, verdicts, and judgments resulting from hearings or trials presided over by a judge appointed pursuant to this section shall have the same force and effect as orders, decrees, verdicts, or judgments resulting from a hearing or trial presided over by a regularly serving judge.    Orders, decrees, verdicts, and judgments resulting from hearings or trials presided over by a judge appointed pursuant to this section may be enforced or appealed in the same manner as orders, decrees, verdicts, or judgments resulting from a hearing or trial presided over by a regularly sitting judge.

2021 Colorado Code|Title 13 - Courts and Court Procedure|Article 4 - Court of Appeals|§ 13-4-102.1. Interlocutory Appeals of Determinations of Questions of Law in Civil Cases

  The court of appeals, under rules promulgated by the Colorado supreme court, may permit an interlocutory appeal of a certified question of law in a civil matter from a district court or the probate court of the city and county of Denver if:   The trial court certifies that immediate review may promote a more orderly disposition or establish a final disposition of the litigation; and    The order involves a controlling and unresolved question of law.       A majority of the judges who are in regular active service on the court of appeals and who are not disqualified may, if approved by rules promulgated by the Colorado supreme court, order that an interlocutory appeal permitted by the court of appeals be heard or reheard by the court of appeals en banc.

For article, “Knowing When to Change Trains: The Ins and Outs of Interlocutory Appeals”, see 41 Colo. Law. 31 (June 2012).   Interlocutory resolution would not promote a more orderly disposition. Where plaintiff petitioned for interlocutory review of district court's order that economic loss rule barred plaintiff's other claims against defendants, immediate review would not have avoided a trial. Therefore, interlocutory resolution of the economic loss question would not promote a more orderly disposition of the litigation. Wahrman v. Golden W. Realty, 313 P.3d 674 (Colo. App. 2011).   Motion to trial court to reconsider disqualification order did not toll the provisions of C.A.R. 4.2(c) requiring the filing of a motion or stipulation for certification by the trial court within 14 days after the date of the disqualification order. The trial court does not have authority pursuant to C.R.C.P. 6(b) to extend the 14-day deadline for filing a motion for certification of issues in the trial court. The department of human services' motion for reconsideration was not a C.R.C.P. 59 motion. Further, C.A.R. 26(b) does not apply because the failure to timely file was not the result of excusable neglect. People in Interest of A.M.C., 2014 COA 31 , 411 P.3d 90.
