Case No. 2:16-cv-03039-JCM-NJK
ORDER
(Docket No. 28)

14

Pending before the Court is a joint motion to stay discovery. Docket No. 28. The Federal

15

Defendants filed a response in opposition, and Plaintiffs filed a reply. Docket Nos. 31, 32. In

16

conclusory fashion, the parties dispute whether Plaintiffs may proceed with their claims against the

17

Federal Defendants through the filing of an amended complaint following exhaustion of administrative

18

remedies. See Docket Nos. 31, 32. The Court declines to address that issue based on the undeveloped

19

briefing submitted. Indeed, perhaps because it was improperly filed as a “stipulation,” see Docket No.

20

30 at 1 n.1, the joint motion contains no legal authority or analysis of any kind, see Docket No. 28.

21
22

Accordingly, the Court DENIES without prejudice the joint motion (Docket No. 28) for failing
to submit points and authorities. See Local Rule 7-2(d).1

23

IT IS SO ORDERED.
