Officer Gabriel Lea’s First Set of Interrogatories to Plaintiff dated February 9, 2024. 27. Officer Kelley Furnas’ First Set of Interrogatories to Plaintiff dated February 9, 2024. The Parties are actively conducting discovery. The Parties recently filed a Joint Motion to Consolidate the Fleming and Nutsch matters on February 26, 2025, for the purposes of discovery only, because both Plaintiffs’ claims pertain to similar legal and factual issues, and the matters are in similar procedural postures. On March 3, 2025, the Court issued an order granting the Joint Motion to Consolidate. The Parties are actively conducting discovery. Counsel for LVMPD Defendants are currently working to provide discovery and information as it relates to any Monell issues in the two cases so the parties can avoid engaging in motion practice. In addition, LVMPD Defendants received a settlement demand and are currently in the process of evaluating counteroffers. For the reasons explained below, the Parties will need additional time to propound additional written discovery and conduct depositions. This is the ninth request for an extension of discovery deadlines in this matter. The Parties request that the Discovery Plan and Scheduling Order deadlines be extended an additional ninety (90) days in these matters, which have been consolidated for the purposes of discovery. The Parties acknowledge that, pursuant to Local Rule 26-3, a stipulation to extend a deadline set forth in a discovery plan must be submitted to the Court no later than twenty- one (21) days before the expiration of the subject deadline. A request made within twenty- one (21) days of the subject deadline must be supported by a showing of good cause. Here, all the deadlines the Parties seek to extend are outside of the twenty-one (21) day window. The Parties respectfully request an extension of time to extend the discovery to enable to them to coordinate these cases (the Nutsch matter had a later schedule) and to conduct necessary discovery and so that the matters are fairly resolved on the merits. “Good cause to extend a discovery deadline exists ‘if it cannot reasonably be met despite the diligence of the party seeking the extension.’” Derosa v. Blood Sys., Inc., No. 2:13-cv-0137-JCM-NJK, 2013 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 108235, 2013 WL 3975764, at 1 (D. Nev. Aug. 1, 2013) (quoting Johnson v. Mammoth Recreations, Inc., 975 F.2d 604, 609 (9th Cir. 1992)); see also Fed. R. Civ. P. 1 (providing that the Rules of Civil Procedure “should be construed, administered, and employed by the court and the Parties to secure the just, speedy, and inexpensive determination of every action and proceeding”). Since the last stipulation and order was entered in this matter, Nick D. Crosby, Esq. has been involved in several mediations, administrative hearings, arbitrations, and has also been preparing for a federal trial, on top of his normal caseload. Specifically, Mr. Crosby was involved in (1) a multi-day mediation in a class action lawsuit regarding wage and hour claims in Coyne et al v. LVMPD, Case No. 2:22-cv-00475-APG-DJA and Case No. A-22- 848354-C; (2) preparing for a three-day administrative hearing in Leijon v. IVGID, EMRB Case No. 2024-022; (3) a labor arbitration on March 3, 2025; (4) an early neutral evaluation on March 7, 2025, in Jessica Coleman et al. v. Robert Telles et al., Case No. 2:24-00930- APG-MDC; (5) a labor arbitration on March 9, 2025; and (6) preparing for trial in Santopietro v. Howell et al., Case No. 2:12-cv-01648-RFB-EJY, which begins on April 7, 2025. While competing demands of litigation are merely one of the reasons for the instant request, it should be noted that the other litigation between the same counsel involving similar issues can only benefit from the completion of discovery in this matter so that in other litigation, similar requests can be expedited and can further the resolution of those matters and the interests of justice. Finally, the Parties together request this in good faith and to further the resolution of this complicated case on the merits, and not for any purpose of delay. The Parties met and conferred regarding the instant stipulation on March 7, 2025, and have agreed that such stipulation is appropriate. / / / / / / / / / Item Current Deadline in Fleming Proposed New Deadline Initial Expert Disclosures Past Due/Unchanged Past Due/Unchanged Rebuttal Expert Disclosures Past Due/Unchanged Past Due/Unchanged Discovery Cut-Off March 31, 2025 June 30, 20251 Dispositive Motions April 29, 2025 July 28, 2025 Pretrial Order May 27, 2025 August 25, 2025 Item Current Deadline in Nutsche Proposed New Deadline Initial Expert Disclosures Past Due/Unchanged Past Due/Unchanged Rebuttal Expert Disclosures Past Due/Unchanged Past Due/Unchanged Discovery Cut-Off May 7, 2025 June 30, 20252 Dispositive Motions June 9, 2025 July 28, 2025 Pretrial Order July 7, 2025 August 25, 2025 / / / / / / / / / 1 90 days from March 31, 2025 is June 29, 2025, a Sunday, so next judicial day. 2 90 days from March 31, 2025 is June 29, 2025, a Sunday, so next judicial day. Based on the foregoing stipulation and proposed deadlines plan, the Parties request that the Discovery Plan and Scheduling Order deadlines be extended additional ninety (90) days so that the parties may conduct additional discovery, conduct depositions and efficiently litigate both cases based on the merits.
