Case No. 2:12-cv-01988-GMN-NJK
ORDER DENYING PROPOSED
DISCOVERY PLAN (Docket No. 21)
12
Pending before the Court is the Proposed Discovery Plan and Scheduling Order (# 21),
13
14
which is hereby DENIED. The proposed discovery plan is deficient in a number of respects. First,
15
the Local Rules require proposed discovery plans to “state the date the first defendant answered or
16
otherwise appeared.” Local Rule 26-1(e)(1). The submitted discovery plan fails to do so. Second,
17
the presumptive discovery period is 180 days from the date the first defendant answers or appears.
18
Local Rule 26-1(e)(1). The proposed plan seeks additional time by calculating a 181-day period
19
from February 12, 2013 despite the fact that the City of Henderson first appeared on January 2,
20
2013. See Proposed Discovery Plan and Scheduling Order at 2. The parties provide no explanation
21
for this proposed delay.
22
Lastly, the Court notes that the parties request an Early Neutral Evaluation session be set if
23
the matter is not resolved within 3 months. See Proposed Discovery Plan and Scheduling Order at 4.
24
Early Neutral Evaluation sessions are held in employment discrimination cases. See Local Rule 16-
25
6. It does not appear that this case would fall under those listed in Local Rule 16-6(a). Accordingly,
26
the parties may instead request a settlement conference if they desire Court-assisted settlement
27
discussions.

Accordingly, the proposed discovery plan is DENIED. The parties are ordered, no later than
February 21, 2013, to file another proposed discovery plan that complies with the Local Rules.
