Case No. 2:15-cv-02160-JAD-NJK
ORDER
(Docket No. 13)

13

Pending before the Court is a discovery plan, Docket No. 13, which is hereby DENIED. The

14

discovery plan is defective in several ways. First, the discovery plan provides the parties with a

15

discovery period of 180 days from the date of the discovery plan, id. at 2, when the Local Rules provide

16

that the presumptively reasonable discovery period is 180 days from the date of the first defendant’s

17

appearance, see Local Rule 26-4(e)(1). Second, the discovery plan provides that requests to extend any

18

of the deadlines outlined therein must be filed no later than 21 days before the close of discovery, Docket

19

No. 13 at 3, when the Local Rules provide that requests to extend deadlines must be filed at least 21 days

20

before expiration of the subject deadline, Local Rule 26-4. Hence, for example, a request to extend the

21

deadline for expert disclosures must be filed at least 21 days before the expiration of that deadline and

22

any such request filed 21 days before the discovery cutoff would be untimely.

23
24

The parties shall file a discovery plan that complies with the Local Rules no later than April 1,
2016.

25

IT IS SO ORDERED.
