Case No. 2:16-cv-02011-GMN-NJK
ORDER
(Docket No. 27)
16
Pending before the Court is the parties’ stipulated proposed discovery plan and scheduling
17
order. Docket No. 27. The parties request a partial stay of discovery pending the resolution of
18
Defendants’ motion to dismiss. Id. at 3. In the alternative, the parties propose a discovery plan with
19
longer time periods than the presumptively reasonable time periods set forth in LR 26-1(b). Id. at
20
4.
21
Courts have broad discretionary power to control discovery. See, e.g., Little v. City of Seattle,
22
863 F.2d 681, 685 (9th Cir. 1988). The mere pendency of a dispositive motion is insufficient to stay
23
discovery. See, e.g., Kor Media Grp., LLC v. Green, 294 F.R.D. 579, 581 (D. Nev. 2013). Rather,
24
“a party seeking to stay discovery carries the heavy burden of making a strong showing why
25
discovery should be denied.” Id. The parties in this case have not met this burden, as they have not
26
even addressed the relevant standards. See id.; see also Docket No. 27. However, the parties have
27
demonstrated good cause for the Court to grant the discovery plan that they have proposed in the
28
alternative. See id. at 2-3.
1
Accordingly, the parties’ stipulated proposed discovery plan and scheduling order, Docket
2
No. 27, is GRANTED to the extent that it is consistent with this order. The discovery deadlines are
