Defendants.

Before the Court is the parties’ stipulated discovery plan and scheduling order. (ECF No.

14

14). The parties seek special scheduling review because they request an extended discovery

15

period. However, because the parties’ stipulation contains certain deficiencies, the Court denies it

16

without prejudice and will require the parties to submit an amended discovery plan consistent

17

with this order.

18

First, the parties do not provide the calendar date from which they are calculating their

19

discovery period. This is necessary for the Court to determine the length—and propriety—of the

20

extended discovery period. And Local Rule 26-1(b)(1) requires that the parties “state the date the

21

first defendant answered or otherwise appeared, the number of days required for discovery

22

measured from that date, and the calendar date on which discovery will close.” This is

23

particularly true here where the parties appear to be requesting a discovery period more than

24

double the typical 180-day discovery period.

25

Second, to the extent the parties are requesting a discovery period double that of the

26

typical 180-day discovery period, their explanation regarding why that amount of time is

27

necessary is insufficient. While the parties explain that the case will include multiple topics and

28

depositions of individuals in multiple states, this is typical of most litigation. Without more, this

2

explanation does not justify such an extended discovery period.
