Case No. 2:13-cv-00568-GMN-NJK
ORDER DENYING PROPOSED
DISCOVERY PLAN (Docket No. 23)

16
Pending before the Court is the Proposed Discovery Plan and Scheduling Order, Docket No.
17
23, which is hereby DENIED. The proposed discovery plan is deficient in a number of respects.
18
First, the Local Rules require proposed discovery plans to “state the date the first defendant
19
answered or otherwise appeared.” Local Rule 26-1(e)(1). The submitted discovery plan fails to do
20
so. Second, the presumptive discovery period is 180 days from the date the first defendant answers
21
or appears. Local Rule 26-1(e)(1). The proposed plan seeks additional time for discovery by
22
seeking 270 days from the date of the Rule 26(f) conference, but the parties provide no meaningful
23
explanation why extended discovery is required. See Docket No. 23 at 2 (requesting additional time
24
“[d]ue to the volume of documents,” without any elaboration).
