Case No. 2:16-cv-02784-APG-GWF
ORDER

This matter is before the Court on the parties’ Joint Discovery Plan and Scheduling Order

14

with Request to Assign this Matter for Settlement Conference (ECF No. 27), filed on February 22,

15

2017. Upon review, the Court will adopt the 180 day discovery plan proposed by the parties.

16

However, the Court denies, without prejudice, the parties’ request for a settlement conference before

17

Magistrate Judge Peggy Leen. The court does not generally permit parties to conduct a settlement

18

conference with a magistrate judge other than the one assigned to the case. If, however, the parties

19

can demonstrate good cause why a settlement conference should be conducted by Judge Leen, they

20

may refile their request. The granting of any such request would be subject to Judge Leen’s consent

21

to conduct the settlement conference. Accordingly,

22

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the parties’ Joint Discovery Plan and Scheduling Order

23

with Request to Assign this Matter for Settlement Conference (ECF No. 27) is granted, in part, and

24

denied, in part. The parties’ request for a settlement conference before Judge Leen is denied without

25

prejudice. However, the Court will adopt the parties 180 day discovery plan and the following dates

26

received no later than twenty-one (21) days before the expiration of the subject deadline, and shall

fully comply with the requirements of LR 26-4. The Court reserves the right to conduct a status
