UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

DISTRICT OF NEVADA

PATRICIA A. RAMSEY,

Case No.: 2:20-cv-02207-KJD-NJK Plaintiff(s),

Order

Oy v. [Docket No. 8]

10] P.F. CHANG’S CHINA BISTRO, INC., ll Defendant(s).

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 depositions. See Docket No. 8 at 1. Without further elaboration,! the Court is not persuaded to 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.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

———______ ' With respect to depositions, the Court notes the potential that depositions be conducted 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”).
