Case No. 2:17-cv-01991-JAD-NJK
ORDER
(Docket No. 40)

16

Pending before the Court is the stipulation that Plaintiff will submit to an independent medical

17

examination, as well as the agreed upon procedures for that examination. Docket No. 40. Unless doing

18

so interferes with Court proceedings, parties are generally permitted to stipulate to discovery procedures

19

without obtaining Court approval. Fed. R. Civ. P. 29. The pending stipulation fails to explain why

20

Court approval is necessary in this instance. Accordingly, the stipulation is DENIED as unnecessary.

21

IT IS SO ORDERED.
