Case No. 2:16-cv-00506-APG-NJK
ORDER
(Docket No. 12)

15

Pending before the Court is a discovery plan, Docket No. 12, which is hereby DENIED. The

16

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

17

See Local Rule 26-1(e)(1). The parties seek additional time without providing any showing of good

18

cause for that extension. Cf. Local Rule 26-1(d) (requiring a statement of why a longer period is sought).

19

In addition, the parties misstate the timing requirements for requesting extensions pursuant to Local Rule

20

26-4, which requires that any request to extend deadlines set forth in the scheduling order must be

21

submitted at least 21 days before the subject deadline. For example, any request to extend the deadline

22

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

23

a request filed only 29 days before the discovery cut-off would be untimely. The parties shall file an

24

amended discovery plan in compliance with the local rules no later than April 26, 2016.

25

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: April 22, 2016
