Ramsey v. P.F. Chang's China Bistro, Inc.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF NEVADA 7| PATRICIA A. RAMSEY, Case No.: 2:20-cv-02207-KJD-NJK 8 Plaintiff(s), Order Oy v. [Docket No. 8] 10] P.F. CHANG’S CHINA BISTRO, INC., ll Defendant(s).

12 Pending before the Court is the parties’ proposed discovery plan. Docket No. 8. The discovery plan seeks a 50% enlargement of the presumptively reasonable discovery period.

Compare id. at 1 with Local Rule 26-1(b)(1). That request is supported by the assertion that a longer period is needed based on anticipated delays in obtaining medical records and in conducting 16|| depositions. See Docket No. 8 at 1. Without further elaboration,! the Court is not persuaded to 17|| permit a 50% enlargement of the normal discovery period in this case. Accordingly, the discovery 18]| plan is DENIED without prejudice. An amended discovery plan must be filed by January 29, 2021.

20 IT IS SO ORDERED.

Koppe \ 23 United States Magistrate Judge ———______ ' With respect to depositions, the Court notes the potential that depositions be conducted 27|| remotely. E.g., Swenson v. GEICO Cas. Co., 336 F.R.D. 206, 210 (D. Nev. Aug. 2020) (“courts within the Ninth Circuit routinely highlight remote depositions as an effective and appropriate 28] means to keep cases moving forward notwithstanding pandemic-related restrictions”).
