Plaintiff,

Case No. 2:13-cv-01934-JCM-PAL

BENJAMIN T. PFEIFFER, et al.,
Defendants.

13

The court conducted a status conference on August 4, 2015, and also heard arguments

14

from counsel regarding the parties’ Joint Motion to Stay Discovery (Dkt. #52) filed July 31,

15

2015.

16

Geisendorf, Leslie Hart and Wing Yan Wong appeared on behalf of the Defendants. The court

17

summarized the history of this case and heard the respective positions of counsel as to how they

18

intend to bring this case to resolution, as well as their respective positions with regard to the Joint

19

Motion to Stay Discovery (Dkt. #52)

Kerry Faughnan appeared on behalf of the Plaintiff, and Krista Nielson, Charles

20

Neither side articulated a good reason for another stay. The Nevada Supreme Court

21

decided the HOA super-priority lien issue nearly a year ago. At most, both sides asserted

22

additional time was needed to “assess” what to do with this case and approximately 30 similar

23

cases pending in this court. Both sides agree discovery is not needed and the remaining issues are

24

purely legal ones that should be decided in cross motions for summary judgment. The court will

25

deny the Joint Motion to Stay Discovery, but will give the parties six weeks from the hearing to

26

file dispositive motions. Accordingly,
