Case No. 2:13-cv-00137-JCM-NJK
ORDER DENYING PROPOSED
DISCOVERY PLAN (Docket No. 11)

16
17

Pending before the Court is the Proposed Discovery Plan and Scheduling Order, Docket No.

18

11, which is hereby DENIED. The proposed discovery plan is deficient in a number of respects.

19

First, the Local Rules require proposed discovery plans to “state the date the first defendant

20

answered or otherwise appeared.” Local Rule 26-1(e)(1). The submitted discovery plan fails to do

21

so. Second, the presumptive discovery period is 180 days from the date the first defendant answers

22

or appears. Local Rule 26-1(e)(1). The proposed plan seeks additional time by calculating a 220-

23

day period from the date of the answer. See Proposed Discovery Plan and Scheduling Order at 2.

24

The parties provide no explanation why extended discovery is required. Third, requests for

25

extending discovery deadlines must be filed no later than 21 days before the subject deadline sought

26

to be extended. See Local Rule 26-4. The submitted discovery plan misstates Local Rule 26-4. See

27

Proposed Discovery Plan and Scheduling Order at 2.

Accordingly, the proposed discovery plan is DENIED. The parties are ordered, no later than
March 26, 2013, to file another proposed discovery plan that complies with the Local Rules.

3

IT IS SO ORDERED.
