Case No. 2:10-cv-01617-RCJ-GWF
ORDER

20
21

The Court has received the parties’ Joint Discovery Plan and Scheduling Order (#176) filed

22

April 26, 2012. The proposed Order before the Court does not comply with the requirements of LR

23

26-1. LR 26-1(e)(1) sets a period of 180 days as a presumptively reasonable amount of time in

24

which to conduct discovery. Discovery plans requesting longer than 180 days from the date the

25

first defendant answers or appears require special scheduling review. The parties have requested

26

340 days from the date they filed the discovery plan to complete discovery. Where such special

27

scheduling review is requested, the plan shall state the reasons why longer or different time periods

28

should apply. The parties are to provide justification for a 340 day discovery period. Accordingly,

1
2

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the parties’ Joint Discovery Plan and Scheduling Order
(#176) is denied, without prejudice.

3

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the parties are to file a revised Discovery Plan and

4

Scheduling Order in compliance with LR 26-1(d), including any request for special scheduling

5

review, within seven (7) days of the date of this order.

6

DATED this 27th day of April, 2012.
