ORDER

10
This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff’s Motion to Postpone Discovery (#75), filed
11
February 8, 2012.
12
By way of his motion, Plaintiff requests that Court postpone discovery pending resolution
13
of Plaintiff’s motion for assistance (#45). To the extent Plaintiff seeks to stay discovery, he has
14
not demonstrated that such a stay is appropriate. Nevertheless, it appears that the motion is more
15
appropriately viewed as a motion to extend discovery. It also appears that there is good cause for
16
an extension of discovery. Accordingly, the parties are instructed to meet and confer to discuss
17
an extension and instructed to file a stipulation with the Court that satisfies the requirements of
18
Local Rule (LR) 26-4. Specifically, the stipulation should provide:
19
(1) A statement specifying the discovery completed;
20
(2) A specific description of the discovery that remains;
21
22

(3) The reasons why the deadline was not satisfied or the remaining discovery was not
completed within the time limits set by the discovery plan; and

23

(4) A proposed schedule for completing all remaining discovery.

24

The stipulation should be filed not later than fourteen (14) days from the date of this order. The

25

parties are instructed to include detailed and specific statements regarding the discovery

26

completed and the discovery remaining.

27

Based on the foregoing and good cause appearing therefore,

28

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff’s Motion to Postpone Discovery (#75) is
denied.

1

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the parties shall meet and confer for the purpose of

2

submitting a stipulated extension of discovery. The parties shall meet and confer within fourteen

3

(14) days of this Order and file a stipulation with the Court not later than Friday, February 24,

4

2012. Because Plaintiff is incarcerated, the Court will require that counsel for Defendants’

5

initiate the meet and confer.

6

DATED this 9th day of February, 2012.
