NANCY SORIANO, Plaintiff, v. STATE FARM FIRE AND CASUALTY ? INSURANCE COMPANY, Defendants.
ORDER
[DOCKET NO. 11]
NANCY J. KOPPE, UNITED STATES'MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Pending before the Court is the parties' proposed discovery plan. Docket No. 11. The presumptively reasonable discovery period is 180 days. Local Rule 26-1(b)(1). Here, however, the parties seek a 240-day discovery period based on the need to obtain and review Plaintiffs medical records. Docket No. 11 at 2-3. When a specific showing has been made that established deadlines camrot be met in a particular circumstance, the Court has found good cause for extension. The instant request makes no specific showing at all and, instead, simply cites generalizations that could be made about almost all litigation.
Accordingly, the proposed discovery plan is DENIED without prejudice. An amended discovery plan must be filed by April 18, 2023. To the extent special scheduling review is sought therein, a specific showing must be made as to why the presumptively reasonable deadlines should not apply based on the particular circumstances of this case. Otherwise, the parties must include the default deadlines, properly calculated from the date of Defendant's answer or first appearance.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
