ORDER REQUIRING JOINT DISCOVERY PLAN
ANDREW G. SCHOPLER, Magistrate Judge.
The parties are ordered to provide a Joint Discovery Plan by March 16, 2018. The Joint Discovery Plan must be filed on the CM/ECF system as well as lodged with Magistrate Judge Schopler by emailing the Plan to efile_schopler@casd.uscourts.gov. If the Plan with its attachments exceeds 20 pages, a courtesy paper copy of the Plan must be delivered to Judge Schopler's Chambers. Because the parties addressed the issue of failure to exhaust, the Plan should offer a brief schedule to adjudicate that issue before moving on to general discovery. See Albino v. Baca, 747 F.3d 1162, 1170 (9th Cir. 2014) ("Exhaustion should be decided, if feasible, before reaching the merits of a prisoner's claim."). The Plan must identify whether and what good cause exists to modify the Court's tentative schedule of deadlines and limitations, which is as follows:
