September 30, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 36 MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS of the Honorable Judge Richard F. Boulware, II on 9/30/2023. Before the Court are: Plaintiff-Counter Defendant Progressive Direct Insurance Company's #13 MOTION for Summary Judgment and Defendant-Counter Claimant Michael Laythorpe's #15 Counter MOTION for Summary Judgment. A motion for summary judgment, unless ordered otherwise, may be filed at any time until 30 days after the close of all discovery. Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(b). In many cases, however, the motion will be premature until the nonmovant has had time to file a responsive pleading or other pretrial proceedings have been had. Fed. R. Civ. P. 56 Advisory Committee Notes to the 2010 Amendment. Accordingly, summary judgment motions are frequently denied as premature when discovery has not been completed. See, e.g., Doe. v. Roe, No. 2:12-CV-01644-RFB, 2015 WL 500896, at *2 (D. Nev. Feb. 5, 2015); Herndon v. State, No. 3:22-CV-00271-ART-CLB, 2023 WL 3995534, at *2-3 (D. Nev. June 14, 2023); Sharkey v. NaphCare, Inc., No. 2:18-CV-0025-KJD-BNW, 2020 WL 2563821, at *4 (D. Nev. May 20, 2020). Defendant-Counter Claimants Response, which also serves as his counter motion for summary judgment, notes that Plaintiff-Counter Defendant's January 5, 2023 summary judgment motion was filed three months before discovery was originally due and many months before the dispositive motion deadline. Further, it contends that the motion is not procedurally or substantively grounded in law or fact. On October 14, 2022, the Court originally set discovery in this case to close on April 3, 2023. ECF No. 11. The deadline was extended pursuant to two stipulations. See ECF Nos. 21, 23. Now, discovery is due by October 2, 2023. ECF No. 23. According to the parties' latest stipulation, document production and depositions remain outstanding. Id. Additionally, discovery related disputes remain. Id.; see also ECF No. 22 (Notice of Plaintiff-Counter Defendants Objection to Notice of Taking Deposition of Progressive Direct Insurance Companys FRCP 30(B)(6) Persons With Knowledge)). The Court finds that consideration of the parties' motions for summary judgment is premature. Discovery is ongoing, and the arguments raised in the motions will benefit from the completion of discovery. The Court therefore denies the motions as premature without prejudice to refiling at or near the end of discovery, including the resolution of any discovery disputes. Cf. McGary v. Culpepper, 322 F. App'x 509, 511 (9th Cir. 2009) ("[I]t is customary and helpful for a district court to address pending discovery requests before granting a summary judgment."). IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Plaintiff-Counter Defendant Progressive Direct Insurance Company's #13 MOTION for Summary Judgment is DENIED without prejudice. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defendant-Counter Claimant's Michael Laythorpe's #15 Counter MOTION for Summary Judgment is DENIED without prejudice.(Copies have been distributed pursuant to the NEF - MAW)
