BC Licensing, LLC v. DMD Chicken, LLC

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF NEVADA BC LICENSING, LLC, Case No. 2:25-cv-00453-JAD-NJK 8 Plaintiff(s), Scheduling Order v. [Docket No. 40] DMD CHICKEN, LLC, et al., 11 Defendant(s).

12 Pending before the Court is a joint discovery plan seeking special scheduling review for a discovery period of 223 days. Docket No. 40.

14 The presumptively reasonable discovery period is 180 days. Local Rule 26-1(b)(1). The discovery plan seeks a longer period based on the pendency of motions to dismiss counterclaims, asserting that resolution of these motions “may have an impact” on discovery. Docket No. 40 at 3. The Court is unpersuaded that this reasoning justifies either any delay in discovery or an elongation of the presumptively reasonable discovery period. Cf. Tradebay, LLC v. eBay, Inc., 278 F.R.D. 597, 601 (D. Nev. 2011).

20 Accordingly, the discovery plan is DENIED. Case management deadlines1 are SET pursuant to the default schedule as follows: 22  Initial disclosures: May 22, 2025 23  Amend pleadings/ add parties: June 16, 2025 24  Initial experts: July 16, 2025 25  Rebuttal experts: August 15, 2025 26  Discovery cutoff: September 15, 2025 The requirement to file an interim status report was removed from the local rules years ago, so the request to set such a deadline will be denied. See Docket No. 40 at 5.

1 e Dispositive motions: October 14, 2025 2 e Joint proposed pretrial order: November 13, 2025, or 30 days after resolution of 3 dispositive motions 4 IT IS SO ORDERED.
