Case No. 2:10-cv-01288-GMN-PAL ORDER

Before the court is the parties' Rule 26(f) Report and Stipulation to Amend the Discovery Plan and Scheduling Order (Dkt. #23) filed November 19, 2010. The parties request a six-month extension of the Discovery Plan and Scheduling Order deadlines. No discovery has been completed to date, and the parties were scheduled to exchange their initial disclosures November 19, 2010, the date the stipulation was filed. Counsel state that they have obtained appraisals for the subject property and are attempting to negotiate an early settlement of this case. If the matter does not settle, written discovery and expert discovery will be needed. Additionally, Defendant Mindy Slavis has not yet been located for service. Finally, there is a pending motion to dismiss filed by Defendant Sandra Sass. Having reviewed and considered the matter, the court is not persuaded that the parties have established good cause for a six-month extension, or twice the amount of time deemed presumptively reasonable to complete discovery by LR 26-1(e). The court will extend the existing Discovery Plan and Scheduling Order deadlines by 90 days, and evaluate any further request for extension for a showing of good cause and that the parties could not complete discovery within the time allowed despite the exercise of due diligence. IT IS ORDERED: 1. The parties Stipulation and Proposed Order (Dkt. #23) is NOT APPROVED and is DENIED.
