DISCOVERY PLAN AND SCHEDULING ORDER

CAM FERENBACH, Magistrate Judge.

Before the Court is the Victor Tagle v. State of Nevada, et al., case number 2:15-cv-01402-JAD-VCF.

On January 4, 2018, this case was stayed pending resolution of the state case with the 7th Judicial District Court. (ECF NO. 153). The Court held a status hearing on July 3, 2018, and heard representations from the parties. Defendants state that they have supplemented the record of the state action and may file a motion to dismiss in that matter.

Pursuant to Local Rule 16-1(b), "in actions by or on behalf of inmates under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. . . no discovery plan is required," rather "a scheduling order [is] entered within thirty (30) days after the first defendant answers or otherwise appears." This is an action brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and Defendants have appeared.

The court finds that discovery must commence. Plaintiff is advised that discovery must be focused only on the issues raised in this case.

Accordingly,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the following discovery deadlines apply:

1. DISCOVERY: Pursuant to LR 16-1(b), discovery in this action shall be completed on or before November 5, 2018.

2. Amendments to pleadings as provided for under Fed. R. Civ. P. 15, if the same are allowed without leave of court, or motions for leave to amend, shall comply with LR 15-1 and shall be filed and served not later than August 7, 2018.

3. Expert disclosures shall be made on or before September 6, 2018, and the disclosures of rebuttal experts shall be made on or before October 9, 2018.

5. Dispositive Motions shall be filed and served no later than December 5, 2018.

6. The Joint Pretrial Order is due by January 4, 2019. If dispositive motions are filed, the joint pretrial order is due thirty (30) days from the entry of the court's rulings on the motions or by further order of the court.

7. The Interim Status Report must be filed or before September 6, 2018.

8. EXTENSIONS OF DISCOVERY: Pursuant to LR 26-4, a motion or stipulation to extend any date set by the discovery plan, scheduling order, or other order must, in addition to satisfying the requirements of LR IA 6-1, be supported by a showing of good cause for the extension. A motion or stipulation to extend a deadline set forth in a discovery plan must be received by the court no later than 21 days before the expiration of the subject deadline. A request made within 21 days of the subject deadline must be supported by a showing of good cause. A request made after the expiration of the subject deadline will not be granted unless the movant also demonstrates that the failure to act was the result of excusable neglect. A motion or stipulation to extend a discovery deadline or to reopen discovery must include:

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the stay is lifted.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that appearing defendants must file an answer or response to the complaint, on or before July 18, 2018.
