Case No. 2:16-cv-01439-JCM-NJK
ORDER
(Docket No. 14)

16

Pending before the Court is a proposed discovery plan seeking a discovery period of nearly double

17

the presumptively reasonable discovery period. Compare Docket No. 14 at 2 (seeking discovery period

18

of 328 days) with Local Rule 26-1(b)(1) (establishing presumptively reasonable discovery period of 180

19

days). The only reason provided for this extensive discovery period is that counsel will be busy with trials

20

in other cases, which is not a sufficient reason, standing alone, for such a long discovery period. See, e.g.,

21

Bank of Am., N.A. v. Premier One Holdings, Inc., 2015 U.S. Dist. Lexis 146839, *2 (D. Nev. Oct. 29,

22

2015). Accordingly, the pending discovery plan is DENIED. A renewed discovery plan shall be filed by

23

August 23, 2016.

24

IT IS SO ORDERED.
