Case No. 2:14-cv-01957-RFB-CWH
ORDER

This matter is before the Court on the parties’ Proposed Discovery Plan and Scheduling Order
(doc. # 10).

15

The Court has reviewed the parties’ discovery plan and finds it does not comply with Local

16

Rule (“LR”) 26-1 . Absent a court order, “discovery periods longer than one hundred eighty (180)

17

days from the date the first defendant answers or appears will require special scheduling review.” LR

18

26-1(e)(1). Additionally, parties that request a discovery period that is longer or different must state

19

on the face of their discovery plan, in bold type, that it is “SUBMITTED IN COMPLIANCE WITH

20

LR 26-1(e)” and “SPECIAL SCHEDULING REVIEW REQUESTED.” LR 26-1(d). Parties must also

21

provide “a statement of the reasons why longer or different time periods should apply to the case.”

22

LR 26-1(d).

23

Here, the parties fail to comply with the discovery plan format, and request approximately 270

24

days to complete discovery without providing any reasons why the extended discovery period is

25

necessary.

26

Accordingly, the parties’ Proposed Discovery Plan and Scheduling Order (doc. # 10) is denied.
