3 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 4 DISTRICT OF NEVADA 5 CARL EKIZIAN, Case No. 2:23-cv-00553-RFB-NJK 6 Plaintiff, ORDER 7 v. [Docket No. 20] 8 HENDERSON HOSPITALITY LLC, et al., 9 Defendants. 10 11 Pending before the Court is the parties’ joint proposed discovery plan. Docket No. 20. The 12 presumptively reasonable discovery period is 180 days. Local Rule 26-1(b)(1). Here, however, 13 the parties seek a 265-day discovery period “to provide the Court with time to consider the pending 14 Motion to Remand.”1 Docket No. 20 at 3. The potential that a case may be remanded to state 15 court is not grounds to delay discovery, however, because a remand will not render any discovery 16 conducted in this case moot or otherwise result in a waste of the parties’ resources. Anoruo v. 17 Valley Health Sys., LLC,

, at *3 (D. Nev. Apr. 13, 2018); see also Grammer v. 18 Colo. Hosp. Ass’n Shared Servs.,

, at *2 (D. Nev. June 26, 2015) (“This action 19 will either continue in federal court or in state court. Unless the case settles, discovery will proceed 20 regardless of the outcome of the District Court’s remand decision”). 21 Accordingly, the proposed discovery plan is DENIED without prejudice. An amended 22 proposed discovery plan must be filed by June 21, 2023. To the extent special scheduling review 23 is sought therein, a specific showing must be made as to why the presumptively reasonable 24 deadlines should not apply based on the particular circumstances of this case. Otherwise, the 25

26 1 The parties calculate the discovery period as running from July 5, 2023, to January 2, 2023, which would be a 180-day discovery period. Docket No. 20 at 3. Discovery periods, 27 however, are calculated from the date the first Defendant appears in this case. Local Rule 26- 1(b)(1). Defendants first appeared on April 12, 2023, Docket No. 1, and, therefore, the parties are 28 actually seeking a 265-day discovery period. 1} parties must include the default deadlines, properly calculated from the date of Defendants’ answer or first appearance. 3 IT IS SO ORDERED. 4 Dated: June 14, 2023 LY 5 □□□ xe Nancy J-Képpe 6 United States\Magistrate Judge 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28
