Case No. 1:20-cv-00250-NONE-JLT (PC)
ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S
REQUEST TO OPEN DISCOVERY
(Doc. 29)

Defendants.

17

Plaintiff requests that the Court open discovery. (Doc. 29.) However, the Court stayed this

18

matter until the completion of an early settlement conference on February 23, 2021. (Docs. 21,

19

27.) The Court therefore DENIES Plaintiff’s request. The parties may not conduct formal

20

discovery; however, they may contact each other to engage in informal discovery to prepare for

21

the settlement conference. (Doc. 21 at 2.)
