Teal Petals St Trust v. NewRez LLC

Opinion

1 2 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 3 DISTRICT OF NEVADA 4 ek ok 5 Teal Petals St Trust, Case No. 2:22-cv-00395-JAD-DJA 6 Plaintiff, Order 7 v. 8 NewRez LLC fka New Penn Financial dba 9 Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing, Defendants. 10 And all related counterclaims.

12 Before the Court is a stipulation to stay discovery deadlines pending the outcome of a 13 || chapter 11 bankruptcy. (ECF No. 18). Considering the governing standards and the current 14 || automatic bankruptcy stay (ECF No. 17), the Court finds that a stay of discovery is appropriate in 15 |} this case. See Kor Media Group, LLC v. Green, 294 F.R.D. 579, 581 (D. Nev. 2013) (discussing 16 || astay of discovery pending a dispositive motion and explaining that, absent extraordinary 17 || circumstances, litigation should not be delayed simply because a non-frivolous motion has been 18 || filed). Here, extraordinary circumstances are present. The parties do not seek to stay discovery 19 || pending a dispositive motion but seek to stay discovery deadlines pending the current automatic 20 || stay. A stay would thus accomplish the objectives of Rule 1: a just, speedy, and inexpensive 21 || determination of the action. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 1. 22 23 IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the stipulation to stay discovery (ECF No. 18) is 24 || granted. 25 26 DATED: August 31, 2022 ‘ ~
