This matter is before the court on the parties’ Joint Proposed Discovery Plan and Scheduling
17 Order (#8) filed March 27, 2013. LR 26-1(e)(1) establishes 180 days, measured from the date the
18 defendant first answers or otherwise appears, as a presumptively reasonable time to complete
19 discovery. The parties request 180 days from the date the parties met and conferred in which to
20 conduct discovery, asserting that this request complies with the local rules. However, this request is
21 seeking 190 days from the date the Defendant first appeared and does not comply with the provisions
22 of LR 26-1. LR 26-1(d) states, in part:
23
24
Plans requesting special scheduling review shall include, in addition to
the information required by Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(f) and LR 26-1(e), a
statement of the reasons why longer or different time periods should
apply to the case . . .
25
The parties have included no such statement.
26
As the pending revised discovery plan neither seeks a discovery period of 180 days from the
27
date the first defendant answered nor provides on its face that the parties seek special scheduling
28
review, it is DENIED without prejudice for failing to comply with the Local Rules. Counsel are
1 directed to refile a proposed discovery plan no later than April 1, 2013. The parties may request
2 longer deadlines than those provided for in Local Rule 26-1(e), but must do so in compliance with
3 the procedures outlined in the Local Rules.
