STIPULATION AND ORDER TO STAY DISCOVERY

(First Request)

GEORGE FOLEY, JR., Magistrate Judge.

Defendant Barbara Cegavske in her official capacity as Nevada Secretary of State, by and through her counsel of record, Defendant Joseph Gloria in his official capacity as Clark County Registrar of Voters, and Plaintiffs Nora Luna, Bilal Shabazz, Diane Crump-Richmond, Susan Florian and Demi Falcon, by and through their counsel of record, stipulate and agree that good cause exists to stay discovery in this matter pending resolution of state court proceedings that may moot this litigation.

WHEREAS, the Court, in its order vacating the hearing on Plaintiffs' motion for preliminary injunction and Defendants Cegavske and Gloria's respective motions to dismiss, has found that the state court proceedings (Case #A-17-764587-C) "could render plaintiffs' federal complaint moot." (ECF No. 42 at 3:5-7).

WHEREAS, in light of the Court's order (ECF No. 42) and the potential mooting effect that the pending state court proceedings may have on this litigation, the parties have met and conferred in good faith and have agreed that good cause supports a stay of all discovery, including the parties' obligation to submit a discovery plan to the Court, to conserve the parties' resources and in the interests of judicial economy.

In light of the foregoing, the parties stipulate and agree as follows:

1. All discovery deadlines, including the parties' obligation to submit a discovery plan to the Court, are stayed pending the resolution of the state court proceedings;

2. The parties agree to meet and confer within fourteen (14) days of the state court proceeding's termination in order to form a discovery plan and will submit a discovery plan to the Court within 30 days of the state court proceeding's termination; and

3. Any party, after providing 5 days' written notice to all parties in this action, may apply via written motion to lift the stay of discovery.

ORDER

IT IS SO ORDERED.
