EDUCATION/COLLEGE OF SOUTHERN
NEVADA,

12

Defendant.

13

Before the court is the parties’ Stipulation to Stay Discovery and Filing of Joint Discovery

14

Plan and Scheduling Order (ECF No. 22). The court has conducted a “preliminary peek” at the

15

pending motion to dismiss and is not satisfied that plaintiff will be unable to state a claim for relief.

16

The court will therefore deny the motion to stay this matter until after the motion to dismiss is

17

decided. However, the court will enter a discovery plan and scheduling order which runs the

18

deadlines from the date of the April 30, 2018 early neutral evaluation. Accordingly,

19

IT IS ORDERED that:

20

1. The parties’ Stipulation to Stay Discovery pending ruling on the Motion to Dismiss is

21

DENIED.

22

2. The parties Stipulation to Extend Time (ECF No. 22) is GRANTED to the extent it

23

seeks a discovery cutoff and related case management deadlines measured from the

24

date of the ENE.

The following deadlines shall apply, calculated from the April 30, 2018 early neutral

26

evaluation.
