ORDER

(Stip Stay Disc — ECF No. 34)

PEGGY A. LEEN, Magistrate Judge.

Before the court is the parties' Stipulation to Stay Discovery and Motion Practice Pending Mediation Between the Parties (ECF No. 34). The parties have requested and received two extensions of the discovery plan and scheduling order deadlines, and have had nearly twice the amount of time deemed presumptively reasonable by LR 26-1 to complete discovery. The current stipulation asks for a stay of discovery and other scheduling order deadlines for the parties to schedule and complete a private mediation. The parties represent that they will use their best efforts to conduct a mediation by the middle of February 2018 "subject to the availability of the Parties and their representatives." Subpoenas for medical records are outstanding and the plaintiff agrees to be deposed in mid-November. The parties propose that all other scheduled depositions be vacated, and discovery responses stayed until March 2018. If the case is not successfully mediated the parties propose to submit a proposed order to extend the existing deadlines "on that date."

Having reviewed and considered the matter, the court finds that the parties have not shown good cause to stay this matter pending mediation. A mediation has not even been scheduled. Plaintiff has not been deposed. The parties do not say what discovery will need to be completed if the mediation is unsuccessful, and as indicated, the parties have had twice the amount of time deemed presumptively reasonable to complete discovery. The extended discovery cutoff is now November 24, 2017.

IT IS ORDERED;
