Case No. 2:16-cv-02745-JAD-CWH

ORDER

Presently before the Court is the parties’ stipulation to extend discovery (ECF No. 23), filed

11

on September 24, 2017. The parties seek to extend the discovery deadlines until after the Court

12

announces a decision on currently pending motions (ECF Nos. 11 and 12). On July 24, the Court

13

granted Plaintiff’s unopposed motion to extend discovery (ECF No. 21), in which parties requested

14

that the deadline to add parties or amend pleadings be extended until after the Court announced its

15

decision in the pending motions. The parties now seek to extend the remaining discovery deadlines

16

in this case until after a ruling is announced.

17

Since the parties have asked that all pending discovery deadlines be extended until an

18

unspecified date, the Court will construe the parties’ stipulation as a joint motion to stay discovery.

19

Upon review, the Court finds good cause for such a stay.

20

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the parties’ stipulation to extend discovery (ECF No.

21

23) is GRANTED. Discovery in this case is STAYED. After the Court announces its decision on

22

Defendant’s pending motions to strike (ECF No. 11) and to dismiss (ECF No. 12), the parties must

23

meet and confer and file a stipulated scheduling order for remaining discovery within 21 days.
