ORDER DENYING MOTION TO

Defendants.

Plaintiff,
12
Before the court is defendants’ motion to shorten the time for briefing and hearing of
13
their motion for leave to conduct jurisdictional discovery. Defendants argue that the current
14
schedule will prejudice defendants, because their motion for jurisdictional discovery is not
15
scheduled to be heard until March 6, 2013, which is one week after the court is scheduled
16
to hear plaintiff’s motion to remand. Defendants argue that the motion to remand may
17
render moot the motion for jurisdictional discovery. Plaintiff opposes the motion, arguing
18
that the discovery sought is irrelevant, and further pointing to defendants’ own delay in
19
bringing their motion for jurisdictional discovery.
20
The court does agree with defendants that plaintiff’s motion to remand should not be
21
heard before defendants’ motion for leave to conduct jurisdictional discovery. Instead,
22
because both motions involve related issues, the court will hear them both (along with
23
defendants’ motion to dismiss) on March 20, 2013. Defendants’ jurisdictional discovery
24
motion shall be briefed in accordance with the district’s standard schedule. If the court
25
finds that jurisdictional discovery is warranted, it will defer judgment on plaintiff’s motion to
26
remand, and will order supplemental briefing so that the parties can address the evidence
27
obtained through discovery.
