1

On December 23, 2019, counsel for the parties participated in a conference to

2 discuss whether discovery should be extended, the length of an extension, and
3 corresponding new discovery deadlines. As a result of the conference, counsel agreed to
4 the information set forth below.

The Status Report is separated into two portions

5 according to Plaintiff’s claims; i.e. (1) the “LVMPD Claims”, and (2) the “Medical
6 Claims”, as bifurcated by the Honorable Richard F. Boulware in ECF No. 136.

A. Discovery
Discovery is closed. Plaintiff reserves the right to file a request with the Court to

11 reopen discovery.
12

B. Disclosures

13

Counsel for Plaintiff was recently appointed. Counsel for the LVMPD Defendants

14 has provided Plaintiff’s counsel their prior disclosures submitted pursuant to Fed. R. Civ.
15 P. 26. Counsel for the LVMPD Defendants will also forward Plaintiff counsel copies of
16 all written discovery exchanged between the LVMPD Defendants and Plaintiff.

The LVMPD Defendants previously filed a Motion for Summary Judgment [ECF

19 No. 150] which was denied by the Court without prejudice to allow time for counsel to be
20 appointed for Plaintiff. In order to provide Plaintiff counsel time to review the prior
21 disclosures and written discovery, a new due date for dispositive motions is provided, to
22 expire on Thursday, April 2, 2020 (which is 90 days from the date of this Status Report
23 and stipulation).
