Plaintiffs,

ORDER

NOBU HOSPITALITY GROUP, LLC,

(Mot. Ext. Time – ECF No. 35;

Defendant.

This matter is before the court on Plaintiffs’ Motion to Extend Time re: Discovery

13

Deadlines (ECF No. 35) and Motion to Compel Discovery (ECF No. 39). These Motions are

14

referred to the undersigned pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(A) and LR IB 1-3 of the Local Rules

15

of Practice.

16

On November 9, 2017, the court held a hearing on Plaintiffs’ Motions. Present was Yianna

17

Reizakis for Plaintiffs and James Olson and Thomas Dillard for Defendant. The court has

18

considered the Motions, Defendant’s Responses (ECF Nos. 37, 40), Plaintiffs’ Replies (ECF

19

Nos. 38, 45), and the arguments of counsel at the hearing. Both sides agree that further discovery

20

should be stayed until the district judge decides defendant’s pending motion to reconsider which

21

addresses whether plaintiffs should be permitted to amend their complaint to name the

22

owner/operator of the hotel room where the incident giving rise to the complaint occurred, as the

23

outcome may be dispostive of plaintiffs’ lawsuit.

24

Accordingly,

25

IT IS ORDERED:

26

1. Plaintiffs’ Motion to Extend Time re: Discovery Deadlines (ECF No. 35) and Motion

27

to Compel Discovery (ECF No. 39) are DENIED without prejudice.
