Case No. 2:15-cv-00047-APG-NJK
ORDER DENYING AMENDED
PROPOSED DISCOVERY PLAN
(Docket No. 19)

16

Pending before the Court is the parties’ amended Proposed Discovery Plan and Scheduling

17

Order. Docket No. 19. The Court denied the parties’ initial discovery plan because it purported to

18

provide a discovery period of 180 days, but actually provided a discovery period of 220 days. See

19

Docket No. 18. The parties have now filed an amended discovery plan, which again purports to provide

20

a discovery period of 180 days but this time provides an actual discovery period of 148 days. See

21

Docket No. 19 at 2 (motion to dismiss filed on February 6, 2015; discovery cutoff of July 4, 2015).

22

Moreover, while the parties have altered the discovery cutoff in the amended discovery plan, they failed

23

to adjust the other deadlines to reflect the newly-sought discovery cutoff even though the Local Rules

24

clearly require those deadlines to be calculated based on the discovery cutoff. See, e.g., id. at 3; see

25

also Local Rules 26-1(e)(2), et seq. Indeed, some of the relevant discovery deadlines are now set for

26

after the purported expiration of the discovery period. Accordingly, the amended discovery plan is

27

hereby DENIED as the discovery cutoff is again miscalculated and the other deadlines are also

28

miscalculated.

1
2

The parties are ORDERED to submit a discovery plan that complies with the Local Rules no
later than April 1, 2015.

3

IT IS SO ORDERED.
