ORDER (Docket No. 21)
NANCY J. KOPPE, Magistrate Judge.
Pending before the Court is a stipulation to stay discovery pending resolution of motions to dismiss filed by Defendant Caesars and Defendant Soto. Docket No. 21. Although the stipulation seeks a complete stay of discovery, Defendant Yang did not move to dismiss and instead filed an answer. See Docket No. 1-5. Courts generally do not permit a blanket stay of discovery applicable to all parties in such circumstances. See, e.g., White v. Am. Tobacco, 125 F.R.D. 508, 509 (D. Nev. 1989). Having failed to explain sufficiently why a case-wide stay of discovery is appropriate here, the stipulation is DENIED without prejudice. Any renewed stipulation shall explain why the Court should depart from White or shall be limited to requesting a stay of only discovery involving Defendant Caesars and Defendant Soto.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
