Case No. 2:13-cv-00615-LDG-NJK
ORDER DENYING PROPOSED
DISCOVERY PLAN (Docket No. 63)

13

Pending before the Court is a proposed discovery plan (Docket No. 63) which, for the reasons set

14

forth below, is DENIED without prejudice. First, the plan must state the number of days required for

15

discovery. The parties fail to do so. Second, Local Rule 26-1(e)(1) establishes 180 days, measured from

16

the date the first defendant answers or otherwise appears, as a presumptively reasonable time to complete

17

discovery. Where more than 180 days of discovery are sought, the proposed discovery plan must state on

18

its face, “SPECIAL SCHEDULING REVIEW REQUESTED” and provide an explanation why the parties

19

believe additional time is required. Local Rule 26-1(d). In this case, Defendant answered on July 23, 2014.

20

Docket No. 60. However, the proposed discovery plan requests a longer discovery period than 180 days

21

without complying with Local Rule 26-1. Accordingly, the proposed discovery plan is hereby DENIED.

22

The parties shall submit a revised discovery plan no later than October 9, 2014, that complies with the

23

Local Rules.

24

IT IS SO ORDERED.
