Case No. 2:13-cv-00649-JCM-GWF
ORDER

13
14

This matter is before the Court on Counter-Defendant The Parks Homeowners Association’s

15

Motion to Stay Case Pending Motion to Dismiss or in the Alternative Extend Discovery Deadlines

16

(ECF No. 99), filed on October 5, 2017. Plaintiff Bourne Valley Court Trust (“Bourne Valley”)

17

filed its Joinder and Non-Opposition (ECF Nos. 100, 101) on October 5, 2017. Also before the

18

Court is Defendant Wells Fargo’s Motion to Stay Discovery and to Extend Dispositive Motion

19

Deadlines (ECF No. 108) and Motion for Order Shortening Time (ECF No. 109), filed on October

20

23, 2017.

21

Counter-Defendant The Parks Homeowners Association (“The Parks”) requests that the

22

Court stay discovery pending the resolution of its motion to dismiss (ECF Nos. 83, 90) or, in the

23

alternative, a 90 day extension of discovery. Plaintiff Bourne Valley does not oppose the request to

24

extend discovery. Defendant Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Wells Fargo”) requests a stay of discovery

25

pending the resolution of its motion for judgment on the pleadings (ECF No. 107) as well as an

26

extension of the dispositive motion deadline until 30 days after the Court rules on its motion for

27

judgment on the pleadings. Defendant Wells Fargo represents that The Parks does not oppose its

28

request for a stay. On October 17, 2017, Wells Fargo filed a stipulation to withdraw its

1
2
3

counterclaim against the Parks that is currently pending before the District Judge.
Upon review and consideration, the Court finds good cause to grant a 90 day extension of
discovery. The following discovery plan and scheduling order dates shall apply:

4

1.

Last date to complete discovery: January 30, 2018

5

3.

Last date to file interim status report: November 30, 2017

6

4.

Last date for The Park’s to disclose experts: November 30, 2017

Last date to disclose rebuttal experts: December 30, 2017

8

6.

Last date to file dispositive motions: February 28, 2018

9

7.

Last date to file joint pretrial order: March 28, 2018. In the event dispositive

10

motions are filed, the date for filing the joint pretrial order shall be suspended until

11

30 days after a decision of the dispositive motions.

12

The Court denies The Parks and Wells Fargo’s requests for a stay of discovery pending

13

resolution of their motions. The Court denies Wells Fargo’s request for an extension of the

14

dispositive motion deadline until 30 days after the Court rules on its motion for judgment on the

15

pleadings without prejudice. If Wells Fargo’s motion for judgment on the pleadings is still pending,

16

it may file a renewed request for an extension of the dispositive motion deadline. Accordingly,

17

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Counter-Defendant The Parks Homeowners

18

Association’s Motion to Stay Case Pending Motion to Dismiss or in the Alternative Extend

19

Discovery Deadlines (ECF No. 99) is granted, in part, and denied, in part. The Court grants The

20

Park’s request for a 90 day extension of discovery and denies its request for a stay of discovery.

to Extend Dispositive Motion Deadlines (ECF No. 108) is denied, without prejudice.

Time (ECF No. 109) is denied as moot.
