STIPULATION TO STAY DISCOVERY PENDING MAGISTRATE JUDGE LEEN'S DECISION ON DEFENDANT'S OBJECTION TO SPECIAL MASTER REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
PEGGY A. LEEN, Magistrate Judge.
Plaintiffs DANIEL SMALL, CAROLYN SMALL, WILLIAM CURTIN, DAVID COHEN, LANETTE LAWRENCE, and LOUISE COLLARD (hereinafter collectively referred to herein as "Plaintiffs") and Defendant UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER OF SOUTHERN NEVADA (hereinafter referred to as "Defendant"), by and through their respective counsel of record, hereby stipulate and agree as follows:
On August 18, 2014, Special Master Daniel Garrie filed his Report and Recommendation and Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law regarding electronic discovery issues in this matter. See Dkt. No. 189.
On September 2, 2014, Defendant filed its Objection to Special Master Garrie's Report and Recommendation. See Dkt. No. 207.
The Court heard argument on Defendant's Objection approximately seven months ago, on October 21, 2014, and took this matter under advisement. See Dkt. No. 228. The Court has not yet issued its written order.
Following the parties unsuccessful attempt to resolve this litigation through mediation, on April 22, 2015, Defendant served written discovery requests on 102 opt-in plaintiffs.
The Special Master Report and Recommendation recommends certain dispositive sanctions which will impact the scope and needs of discovery in this matter.
Therefore, the parties hereby stipulate and agree that all discovery in this matter should be stayed pending a decision by Magistrate Judge Leen on Defendant's Objection to Special Master Report and Recommendation [Dkt. No. 207]. This stipulation is made pursuant to LR 7-1. Good cause exists for such a stay as the pending Objection touches on dispositive issues. See Data Disc., Inc. v. Sys. Tech. Assoc., Inc., 557 F.2d 1280, 1285 (9th Cir. 1977) (concerning the courts' broad discretion to stay discovery pending disposition of dispositive filings).
IT IS SO STIPULATED:
ORDER
Upon stipulation of the aforementioned parties, and good cause appearing,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that discovery in this action be stayed, pending resolution of Defendant's Objection to the Special Master Report and Recommendation [Dkt. No. 207].
