Date Filed Document Text
June 4, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 20 ORDER. On June 3, 2020, the parties in this case filed a stipulation to extend the deadline to file a consolidated complaint and to stay discovery. The Court will not endorse this stipulation. First, the parties did not comply with the Court's Individual Rules. Specifically, the Court points the parties to Rule 1(F), which requires, inter alia, that "immediately following the filing of any proposed order or stipulation, parties are directed to submit a joint letter to the Court, stating (1) the reason for the request that the Court enter the proposed order or stipulation; (2) the position of each of the parties with respect to the proposed order or stipulation; (3) the basis for the Court's legal authority to enter the proposed order or stipulation; and (4) any other information that the parties believe would provide context for the Court's evaluation of the request." Second, the parties have requested that the Court stay discovery. Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c), a district court may stay discovery "for good cause." Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(c). When a motion to dismiss is pending, courts typically consider several factors in determining whether to stay discovery; including: "(1) whether a defendant has made a strong showing that the plaintiff's claim is unmeritorious, (2) the breadth of discovery and the burden of responding to it, and (3) the risk of unfair prejudice to the party opposing the stay." Negrete v. Citibank, N.A., No. 15cv7250 (RWS), 2015 WL 8207466 (S.D.N.Y. Dec. 7, 2015). The parties have not provided the Court with any information with respect to any of these factors, including any information about Defendant's anticipated motion to dismiss. Indeed, this is the first time the Court has been informed that Defendant anticipates moving to dismiss; no pre-motion conference letter has been filed on the docket. If the parties wish the Court to consider a stipulation, counsel is directed to consider this order and refile the proposed stipulation in accordance with the Court's Individual Rules, specifically Rule 1(F).
