COYNE, in his official capacity as Las Vegas Metropolitan Peace Officer; OFFICER G. ANTON, in his official capacity as Las Vegas Metropolitan Peace Officer; SHERIFF JOE LOMBARDO, in his official capacity as Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Sheriff; CITY OF CLARK COUNTY NEVADA, STIPULATION TO EXTEND DISCOVERY (First Request) Defendants. KAEMPFER CROWELL 1980 Festival Plaza Drive Suite 650 Las Vegas, Nevada 89135 19 20 Jawann Bowie (“Plaintiff”), Officer Daniel Coyne, Officer George Anton and Sheriff 21 Joseph Lombardo (“LVMPD Defendants”) and Clark County (“County”) stipulate and request to 22 extend the discovery cut-off date for ninety (90) days to allow the parties additional time to 23 conduct discovery. The current cut-off date is November 14, 2018 but the parties agree it should 24 2199961_1.doc [6943.151] Page 1 of 6 Dockets.Justia.com Case 2:18-cv-00686-GMN-PAL Document 23 Filed 08/21/18 Page 2 of 6 1 be continued until February 12, 2019. The parties respectfully request the Court enter an order 2 to extend discovery to provide the parties adequate time to conduct discovery in this case. 3 LVMPD Defendants have provided their Initial Rule 26 Disclosures to Plaintiff and the 5 County. LVMPD Defendants served their initial written discovery requests (Interrogatories, 6 Requests for Production of Documents and Requests for Admissions) on the same date the 7 parties filed this Stipulation. II. DISCOVERY YET TO BE COMPLETED 9 Little discovery in this matter has been completed. Plaintiff will respond to LVMPD 10 Defendants’ initial written discovery requests. Plaintiff and the County will provide the parties 11 with their Initial Rule 26 Disclosures and will serve written discovery as well. 12 LVMPD Defendants will serve various third-party subpoenas upon receipt of Plaintiff’s 13 discovery responses. The parties will conduct the depositions of the individual parties, Rule 14 30(b)(6) witnesses and other third-party witnesses as necessary. The parties will retain and 15 timely disclose expert and any necessary rebuttal expert reports. 16 III. REASONS WHY REMAINING DISCOVERY HAS NOT BEEN COMPLETED 17 As this Court is aware, Plaintiff is representing himself in Proper Person. Plaintiff filed 18 suit in the Eighth Judicial District Court which the LVMPD Defendants removed. In responding 19 to the Complaint, both LVMPD Defendants and the County filed Motions to Dismiss. [ECF 20 Nos. 6 and 12]. The Motions to Dismiss are fully briefed and pending before the Court. 21 KAEMPFER CROWELL DISCOVERY COMPLETED TO DATE 4 8 1980 Festival Plaza Drive Suite 650 Las Vegas, Nevada 89135 I. Because the parties did not submit a Proposed Discovery Plan and Scheduling Order, this 22 Court issued a Scheduling Order on August 2, 2018. [ECF No. 20]. 23 required the parties to hold a Rule 26(f) Conference by August 15, 2018, which the parties did. 24 [ECF No. 22]. LVMPD Defendants served their Initial Rule 26 Disclosures and initial written 2199961_1.doc [6943.151] The Scheduling Order Page 2 of 6 Case 2:18-cv-00686-GMN-PAL Document 23 Filed 08/21/18 Page 3 of 6 1 discovery requests. However, the Scheduling Order provides that initial expert reports are to be 2 disclosed by September 14, 2018. In short, the parties have not had the opportunity to conduct 3 discovery to provide to any expert at this point. 4 As stated above, Plaintiff is representing himself in Proper Person; it is anticipated that 5 there may be delays. Moreover, Plaintiff and many of the third-party witnesses to the incident 6 described in the Complaint reside outside the state of Nevada and the medical treatment Plaintiff 7 has received for the injuries he alleges in the Complaint has been in another State. As such, it 8 will take additional time and effort to obtain information and documents in discovery. For these 9 reasons, the parties ask for more time to complete discovery. 10 KAEMPFER CROWELL PROPOSED EXTENDED DEADLINES 11 The parties respectfully request this Court enter an order as follows: 12 (A) 13 The current discovery cut-off date of November 14, 2018, should be extended for a 14 1980 Festival Plaza Drive Suite 650 Las Vegas, Nevada 89135 IV.
