Case No. 2:11-cv-00169-GMN-NJK
01-17-2013
WILLIAM E. VIETS and ANNE M. VIETS, Plaintiffs, v. WACHOVIA MORTGAGE, FSB, et al. Defendant.
ORDER
This matter is before the Court on the parties' Stipulated Discovery Plan and Scheduling Order (#45), filed on January 14, 2013. The parties request a discovery plan based on a discovery cut-off 270 days from January 1, 2013. The Court notes that the discovery cut-off usually falls 180 days or less from the date the first defendant answers or appears. See Local Rule 26-1(e)(1). The parties provided insufficient reason for the extended discovery period proposed and the Court finds it excessive.
Having reviewed and considered the matter,
IT IS ORDERED:
1. The parties' Stipulated Discovery Plan and Scheduling Order (#45) is NOT APPROVED.
2. The parties are shall submit, no later than January 23, 2013, a revised Stipulated Discovery Plan and Scheduling Order providing for a discovery cut-off of June 24, 2013, and calculating all other relevant dates based on that discovery cut-off date.
