JEREMY R. POWELL, Plaintiff v. CITY OF ELKO, et al., Defendants
ORDER RE: ECF NOS. 88, 99, 100, 101
CRAIG S. DENNEY UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Before the court are Plaintiff's motion to extend the discovery deadline by 180 days (ECF No. 88), as well as Plaintiff's motions to extend the deadline to file responses to the pending dispositive motions (ECF Nos. 99, 100, 101).
The scheduling order in this matter was issued on June 9, 2022, and set the discovery completion deadline as December 6, 2022. (ECF No. 24.) Ortiz and Pepper stipulated to the requested extension. However, the court has not received any position on the extension from the remaining defendants. The court finds that neither Plaintiff nor Ortiz and Pepper have set forth good cause for a 180-day extension; however, the court is cognizant that District Judge Traum recently ordered that Plaintiff be given an opportunity to review all discovery to date until February 28, 2022. Therefore, the court will GRANT IN PART Plaintiff's motion (ECF No. 88), insofar as the court will give the parties an extension of the discovery completion up to and including March 28, 2023, which is a 112-day extension from the original discovery completion deadline. If Plaintiff intends to bring his own dispositive motion, it must also be filed by March 28, 2023.
The court will likewise GRANT Plaintiff's motions for an extension of time to file his responses to the pending dispositive motions (ECF Nos. 99, 100, 101). Plaintiff has up to and including April 28, 2023 to file his responses. Defendants' reply briefs will be due on or before May 5, 2023.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
