Case No. 2:17-cv-01564-MMD-GWF

ORDER

13

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

14

(ECF No. 14) filed August 14, 2017. The proposed Order before the Court does not comply with

15

the requirements of LR 26-1. LR 26-1(b)(1) sets a period of 180 days as a presumptively reasonable

16

amount of time in which to conduct discovery. The 180 days is measured from the date the first

17

defendant answered or otherwise appeared. Discovery plans requesting longer than 180 days from

18

the date the first defendant answers or appears require special scheduling review. The proposed

19

Scheduling Order before the Court requests 270 days from the date the first defendant appeared until

20

February 28, 2018. Accordingly,

21
22

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the parties’ Joint Discovery Plan and Scheduling Order
filed (ECF No. 14) is denied, without prejudice.

23

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the parties are to file a revised Discovery Plan and

24

Scheduling Order in compliance with LR 26-1(b), including any request for special scheduling

25

review, within seven (7) days of the date of this order.

26

DATED this 15th day of August, 2017.
