Case No. 2:17-cv-02084-JCM-NJK
ORDER
(Docket No. 72)

15
16

Pending before the Court is the parties’ second stipulation to extend discovery deadlines, filed

17

on May 10, 2018. Docket No. 72. For the reasons discussed below, the Court DENIES without

18

prejudice this stipulation.

19

The parties request an extension because they “have arrived at an agreement allowing Plaintiffs

20

to file a Third Amended Complaint against Clark County,” and submit that they intend to file “a

21

stipulation to that effect.” Docket No. 72 at 2. The Court cannot issue an order to extend discovery

22

deadlines based on hypothetical filings. Further, the parties fail to demonstrate good cause for a 90-day

23

extension. Finally, the parties submit that some discovery has not been produced because they are

24

waiting for a protective order to be entered by the Court. Id. The Court, however, granted the parties’

25

protective order on January 29, 2018. Docket No. 55.
