1 2 3 4 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 5 DISTRICT OF NEVADA 6 *** 7 STEVEN R. DAVIS, 8 9 10 Case No. 2:18-cv-00673-JCM-PAL Plaintiff, ORDER v. (Mot Stay – ECF No. 42) (Mot Stay – ECF No. 48) UNITEL VOICE, LLC, et al., Defendants. 11 12 Before the court is defendant Unitel Voice, LLC’s Motion to Stay Discovery (ECF No. 42). 13 The court has reviewed the motion, and defendants CenturyLink, Inc.’s and Somos, Inc.’s Non- 14 Oppositions (ECF Nos. 46, 47). Rather than filing a response to the motion, plaintiff filed his own 15 Motion to Stay or Modify the Court Order Discovery Plan and Scheduling Order (ECF No. 48). 16 The court has also reviewed this motion and defendant Unitel Voice, LLC’s Response 17 (ECF No. 53). 18 Defendants’ motion requests that this court stay discovery pending ruling on the pending 19 motions to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction (ECF Nos. 10, 26, 43). Defendants argue that 20 because the motions to dismiss are potentially case-dispositive, and discovery is expected to be 21 voluminous any discovery and discovery disputes would become moot as to any defendant 22 dismissed from this matter. 23 Plaintiff’s motion also requests that discovery be stayed until decision of the pending 24 motions to dismiss. Alternatively, if the court is not inclined to stay discovery, plaintiff requests 25 a 6-month extension of the current discovery plan and scheduling order deadlines. 26 Having reviewed and considered the matter, 27 IT IS ORDERED that: 28 1. The Motions to Stay Discovery (ECF No. 42, 48) are GRANTED. 1 1 2. If one or both of the motions to dismiss are denied, the parties shall have 14 days from 2 the date of the last order denying the motion to dismiss to submit a proposed amended 3 discovery plan and scheduling order. 4 DATED this 21st day of December 2018. 5 6 PEGGY A.
