Case No. 2:16-cv-01227-JAD-EJY
Plaintiff,
12
v.
13
STATE OF NEVADA, et al.,
14
Defendants.
STIPULATION AND ORDER TO
EXTEND THE CLOSE OF DISCOVERY
AND THE DEADLINE TO FILE A
PROPOSED JOINT PRETRIAL ORDER
[Second Request]
15
Plaintiff, Bryan Dryden, by and through counsel, Justin V. Alper, and Defendant,
16
Ted Nielson, by and through counsel, Aaron D. Ford, Nevada Attorney General, and David
17
A. Bailey, Deputy Attorney General, hereby stipulate and agree to extend the close of
18
discovery 90 days to permit Plaintiff’s newly appointed pro bono counsel to complete his
19
investigation, take depositions, and propound additional discovery (if necessary).
20
The current deadline for discovery to close and for the parties to submit their
21
Proposed Joint Pretrial Order is January 7, 2022. The parties stipulate to extend these
22
deadlines 90 days until April 7, 2022, with all other discovery related deadlines likewise
23
extended 90 days.
24
Good Cause for Extension of Deadline:
25
Plaintiff’s counsel was appointed only on August 9, 2021, and this case has been in
26
protracted litigation for years. The Court granted Plaintiff’s request to reopen discovery
27
and the parties stipulation to extend the deadline to file the Proposed Joint Pretrial
28
Order. Plaintiff’s counsel still needs additional time to investigate and conduct additional

discovery.
Also, Counsel for Plaintiff and Counsel for Defendant are working on
2
scheduling depositions as well as working through discovery issues regarding documents
3
produced by Defendant.
4
additional time to negotiate Plaintiff’s request for documents, and will endeavor to avoid
5
seeking the Court’s involvement. Counsel for Plaintiff has subpoenaed multiple third
6
parties, but is still trying to locate witnesses.
Counsel for Plaintiff and Counsel for Defendant require
7
The parties stipulate that this constitutes a good cause for the requested extension
8
under LR IA 6-1, and, therefore, request the Court extend the following deadlines so that

justice may be done:
