Case No. 2:17-cv-00326-JCM-NJK
ORDER
(Docket No. 61)

16

Pending before the Court is a stipulation to stay discovery pending resolution of two motions to

17

dismiss. Docket No. 61. The parties indicate that it is in the interest of efficiency to stay discovery. See

18

id. at 2 (citing Fed. R. Civ. P. 1). The parties fail to explain, however, how a stay of discovery would

19

be efficient at this stage given that discovery is set to close in less than a month. See Docket No. 30

20

(scheduling order entered on August 1, 2017, setting discovery cutoff of December 11, 2017).

21

Accordingly, the stipulation is DENIED without prejudice to a renewed request to stay discovery

22

explaining why a stay is appropriate at this late juncture. Any such request must also identify with

23

particularity the discovery conducted to date. Cf. Local Rule 26-4(a).

24

IT IS SO ORDERED.
