Internet Sports International, LTD. v. Amelco USA, LLC

3 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 4 DISTRICT OF NEVADA INTERNET SPORTS INTERNATIONAL. Case No. 2:23-cv-00893-ART-NJK LTD., 6 ORDER Plaintiff, 7 [Docket No. 20] v. AMELCO USA, LLC, et al., Defendants.

11 Pending before the Court is the parties’ amended proposed discovery plan. Docket No. 20.

12 The presumptively reasonable discovery period is 180 days. Local Rule 26-1(b)(1). The parties, however, seek a 328-day discovery period. See Docket No. 18 at 2. When a specific showing has been made that established deadlines cannot be met in a particular circumstance, the Court has found good cause for extension. Here, the parties seek an extended discovery period because Defendants are refusing to participate in discovery and intend to file a motion to stay discovery.

17 See id. Absent a court order, the parties must participate in discovery. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 29(b); see also Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(b). Defendants have not moved to stay discovery in this case and no order modifying this case’s discovery conduct has been issued by the Court. See Docket.

20 Accordingly, the amended proposed discovery plan is DENIED. Docket No. 20. The scheduling order will be as follows: 22 Initial Disclosures: August 10, 2023 23 Add/Amend Pleadings: September 5, 2023 24 Initial Experts: October 5, 2023 25 Rebuttal Experts: November 6, 2023 26 Discovery Cut-Off December 4, 2023 27 Dispositive Motions: January 3, 2024 1 Joint Pretrial Order: February 5, 2024, 30 days after the 2 resolution of dispositive motions, or 3 further Court order.

4 In the event Defendants move to stay discovery, the motion must identify the governing 5|| standards and provide meaningful discussion as to how they are met. See, e.g., Kor Media Group, 6] LLC v. Green, 294 F.R.D. 579, 581 (D. Nev. 2013); Arik v. Mevers, 2020 WL 515843, at *1 (D.

7|| Nev. Jan. 31, 2020); White v. Am. Tobacco Co., 125 F.R.D. 508, 510 (D. Nev. 1989).

8 IT IS SO ORDERED.
