ORDER DENYING PROPOSED DISCOVERY PLAN

(Docket No. 36)

NANCY J. KOPPE, Magistrate Judge.

Pending before the Court is the parties' proposed discovery plan, Docket No. 36, which is hereby DENIED. The Local Rules in this District provide for a presumptively reasonable discovery period of 180 days measured from the date of the first defendant's answer or other appearance. See Local Rule 26-1(e)(1). When the parties seek a longer discovery period, they must seek special scheduling review and explain why additional time is necessary. See Local Rule 26-1(d). The pending discovery plan seeks a 180-day discovery period, calculated from the date of the Rule 26(f) conference. Hence, it seeks longer than the presumptively reasonable discovery period outlined in the Local Rules, without any explanation as to why additional time is needed or a request for special scheduling review.

The parties are hereby ORDERED to file, no later than December 2, 2014, a discovery plan that complies with the Local Rules. Alternatively, either party may file, no later than December 2, 2014, a motion or stipulation to stay discovery pending resolution of Defendant's motion to dismiss. Such a motion or stipulation to stay must address the standards relevant to such a request. See, e.g., Kor Media Group, LLC v. Green, 294 F.R.D. 579, 581-83 (D. Nev. 2013) (discussing, inter alia, TradeBay, LLC v. eBay, Inc., 278 F.R.D. 597 (D. Nev. 2011)).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
