Case No. 2:14-cv-00751-JCM-NJK
ORDER

16

This matter is before the Court on the parties’ proposed Joint Discovery Plan and Scheduling

17

Order. Docket No. 18. The proposed discovery plan misstates the requirements of Local Rule 26-4,

18

in that it provides that requests to extend deadlines in the scheduling order need only be filed 20 days

19

before the discovery cut-off. See id., at 3. Local Rule 26-4 requires that any request to extend

20

deadlines set forth in the scheduling order must be submitted at least 21 days before the subject

21

deadline. For example, any request to extend the deadline for initial expert disclosures must be filed

22

at least 21 days before the expiration of that deadline. Such a request filed only 20 days before the

23

discovery cut-off would be untimely.
