14 KEYHERRA GREEN, Case No. 2:20-cv-00769-KJD-DJA
15 Plaintiff, STIPULATION AND PROPOSED ORDER TO EXTEND DISCOVERY 16 vs. (Seventh Request) 17 LAS VEGAS METROPOLITAN POLICE DEPARTMENT, a political subdivision of the State 18 of Nevada and the County of Clark and operating CLARK COUNTY DETENTION CENTER 19 (CCDC); NAPHCARE, INC., a foreign corporation, doing business in State of Nevada and is the Medical 20 Care Provider for the Clark County Detention Center; FRED MERRICK; LORA CODY; 21 MENENLYN ELIZAN; RAY MONTENEGRO; GWENDOLYN MYERS; and DOES 4-10, inclusive, 22 Defendants. 23
24 IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED between the parties that: the discovery cut- 25 off of March 7, 2022, be continued for a period of sixty (60) days up to and including, May 6, 2022, 26 for the purpose of allowing the parties to complete written discovery, take depositions of the parties 27 and Rule 30(b)(6) witnesses and disclose expert/rebuttal expert witnesses; and so that other 1 I. DISCOVERY COMPLETED TO DATE 2 The parties have exchanged their initial Rule 26 Disclosures and multiple Supplemental 3 Disclosures. Plaintiff has responded to written discovery (Interrogatories, Requests for Admissions, 4 Requests for Production of Documents) propounded by each of the Defendants. Each Defendant has 5 responded to numerous written discovery requests from Plaintiff. Defendants filed a Motion for 6 Protective Order on June 11, 2021, Plaintiff’s response was filed on June 25, 2021, and Defendants 7 filed a Reply on July 2, 2021. The Court granted the Protective Order on August 11, 2021 8 precluding Plaintiff from propounding additional written discovery on Defendants absent permission 9 from the Court. 10 The deposition of Defendant Merrick has been taken. The LVMPD Defendants served 11 numerous third-party subpoenas; many out of state. 12 Defendants filed a Motion for Production of Documents Pursuant to Subpoena directed to a 13 third-party; Los Angeles County Probation. [ECF No. 65]. Defendant’s motion was granted and 14 Los Angeles County Probation responded that they were not the correct agency and had no records. 15 They indicated that the records could be with two other agencies. Subpoenas directed toward those 16 agencies are being prepared for service. 17 II. DISCOVERY YET TO BE COMPLETED 18 The LVMPD Defendants are still attempting to obtain records relating to Plaintiff’s pending 19 California criminal cases and her probation records. The LVMPD Defendants obtained an order 20 requiring Los Angeles County Probation to respond but they did not have the records sought. 21 Additional out of state subpoenas will be necessary to obtain the relevant records. 22 The depositions of Defendant Cody and Plaintiff still need to be taken. Thereafter, additional 23 depositions may be noticed. 24 III. REASONS WHY REMAINING DISCOVERY HAS NOT BEEN COMPLETED 25 The parties have been diligent in their attempts to complete discovery; however, more time is 26 needed. The discovery in this case has been more voluminous than initially anticipated by the 27 parties. Defendants have raised claims of privilege and confidentiality-based objections. In 1 numerous training records regarding witness identifications among other subjects. Further, the 2 parties have been occupied with extensive motion practice in this case. Among other things, 3 Defendants filed a Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings on July 2, 2021, Plaintiff filed her response 4 on July 9, 2021 and Defendants filed their Reply on July 16, 2021. No ruling has yet been issued. 5 The motion practice has temporarily diverted the parties’ resources from discovery. 6 In addition, as stated above, there are out of state records that are necessary and directly 7 related to Plaintiff’s claims and the LVMPD Defendants’ defenses. The records have been diligently 8 sought and involved motion practice to obtain them. However, the records were not obtained and 9 the parties must try again. 10 IV. PROPOSED EXTENDED DEADLINES 11 The parties respectfully request this Court enter an order as follows: 12 (A) Discovery Deadline. 13 The current discovery cut-off date of March 7, 2022, should be extended for a period of sixty 14 (60) days, up to and including May 6, 2022. 15 (B) Experts and Rebuttal Experts. 16 The parties shall disclose expert reports on or before March 7, 2022 – i.e., sixty (60) days 17 before the May 6, 2022 close of discovery. The parties shall disclose expert rebuttal reports on or 18 before April 6, 2022 – i.e., thirty (30) days before the May 6, 2022 close of discovery. 19 (C) Dispositive Motions. 20 All pretrial motions, including but not limited to, discovery motions, motions to dismiss, 21 motions for summary judgment, and all other dispositive motions shall be filed and served on or 22 before June 6, 2022 – i.e., thirty (30) days after the close of discovery. (30 days after the date set for 23 filing dispositive motions is June 5, 2022, a Sunday, therefore, the deadline would be the following 24 business day). 25 (D) Motions in Limine/Daubert Motions. 26 Under LR 16-3(b), any motions in limine, including Daubert motions, shall be filed and 27 served thirty (30) days prior to the commencement of Trial. Oppositions shall be filed and served 1 and the motion submitted for decision fourteen (14) days thereafter. Reply briefs will be allowed 2 only with leave of the Court. 3 (E) Pretrial Order. 4 Pursuant to LR 26(1)(e)(5), the Joint Pretrial Order shall be filed with this Court on or before 5 July 6, 2022 (i.e., thirty (30) days after the date set for filing dispositive motions), unless dispositive 6 motions are filed, in which case the date for filing the Joint Pretrial Order shall be suspended until 7 thirty (30) days after the decision on the dispositive motions or further order of this Court. The 8 disclosures required by Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(3) and any objections shall be included in the final 9 pretrial order. 10 The parties recognize that they are making this request fewer than twenty-one days before the 11 current expert disclosure deadline, January 6, 2022, and rebuttal expert disclosure deadline, 12 Februrary 7, 2022however the parties submit that good cause and excusable neglect exists for the 13 delay. LR 26-3 states in relevant part: 14 15 A motion or stipulation to extend a deadline set forth in a discovery plan must be received by the court no later than 21 days before the expiration of the 16 subject deadline. A request made within 21 days of the subject deadline must be supported by a showing of good cause. A request made after the expiration 17 of the subject deadline will not be granted unless the movant also demonstrates that the failure to act was the result of excusable neglect. 18
19 In evaluating excusable neglect, the court considers the following factors: (1) the reason for 20 the delay and whether it was in the reasonable control of the moving party, (2) whether the moving 21 party acted in good faith, (3) the length of the delay and its potential impact on the proceedings, and 22 (4) the danger of prejudice to the nonmoving party. See Pioneer Inv. Servs. Co. v. Brunswick 23 Assocs., 507 U.S. 380, 395 S. Ct. 1489, 123 L.Ed.2d 74 (1993).
