context: The fact that Summerrain did not personally accept a check from Debtor but instead authorized an employee of Independant Paralegal Associates to do so does not change this conclusion because Summer-rain admits she personally placed the money order, along -with Debtor's filings, in the mail. Moreover, the acts of Independant Paralegal Associates' employees are imputable to the partnership and to Summer-rain, as general partner.

Southeastern Capital Group, Inc., 763 F.Supp. 1552, 1560 (D.Colo.1991) (recognizing “well-established Colorado rule that partners are jointly and severally liable for the wrongs of the partnership.”)- Summer-rain’s argument that she relied on statements of a clerk of the Bankruptcy Court is also misplaced as reliance on statements of court employees cannot justify failure to comply with the clearly written statutory requirements of Section 110.
