Case No. 2:16-cv-00039-JCM-NJK
ORDER
(Docket No. 21)

16

Pending before the Court is a motion seeking two forms of relief. See Docket No. 21.1 First,

17

Plaintiff seeks an order from the Court allowing her to supplement her Rule 26 disclosures. The

18

applicable rules do not require leave of Court to supplement disclosures. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(e)(1).

19

Accordingly, this aspect of the motion is DENIED. Plaintiff should supplement her disclosures as

20

appropriate and, if a dispute arises as to the propriety of those supplemental disclosures, Defendant may

21

file a motion to exclude them or for other relief.2

22

Second, Plaintiff seeks an extension of the discovery cutoff. In light of the upcoming dispositive

23

motion deadline, the Court accelerates the briefing scheduling on that aspect of the motion. A response

As an initial matter, Plaintiff’s counsel violated the local rules by filing a single document seeking
two forms of relief. See, e.g., Local Rule IC 2-2(b) (“For each type of relief requested or purpose of the
document, a separate document must be filed and a separate event must be selected for that document”).
2

The Court herein expresses no opinion as to whether supplementation is appropriate.

1

to this portion of the motion shall be filed by September 13, 2016, and any reply shall be filed by

2

September 14, 2016.
