STIPULATION AND ORDER TO STAY DISCOVERY PENDING THE OUTCOME OF PRIVATE MEDIATION

CARL W. HOFFMAN, Magistrate Judge.

COME NOW, Plaintiff EDWARD WHEELER, Defendants CITY OF NORTH LAS VEGAS and SERGEANT TRAVIS SNYDER (collectively referred to as "the NLV Defendants") and Defendant CITY OF HENDERSON, (collectively referred to as "the COH Defendants") by and through their respective counsel or record and hereby stipulate and make joint application to stay discovery in this matter until such time as the parties conclude a mediation that the NLV Defendants and Plaintiff have agreed. The current discovery cutoff is December 4, 2018.

Good cause exists to stay discovery in this matter. Specifically, Plaintiff and the NLV Defendants have scheduled a mediation for March 8, 2019. The stay of discovery will allow the NLV Defendants and Plaintiff to explore the possibility of settlement through mediation without incurring the time and expense of ongoing discovery prior to the mediation.

Additionally, Plaintiff and Defendant the City of Henderson have reached a settlement, which just needs to be memorialized in writing.

Within thirty (30) days after completion of the mediation the NLV Defendants and Plaintiff will submit a Stipulation and Order reflecting resolution of some or all of the claims and/or advise the Court that the parties were unable to resolve the claims and will submit new discovery deadlines, including the discovery cutoff deadline (providing ample time to complete written discovery and depositions), deadline for filing dispositive motions and the deadline for filing the Joint Pretrial Order.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
