Date Filed Document Text
December 7, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 15 ORDER: Defendant's Motion to Stay Discovery (#12 ) is DENIED. "District courts in this circuit have rejected the general proposition that a pending dispositive motion justifies a stay of discovery." Ciuffitelli v. Deloitte & Touche LLP, No. 3:16-CV-0580-AC, 2016 WL 6963039, at *4 (D. Or. Nov. 28, 2016) (collecting cases). The Ninth Circuit also has suggested that the party seeking to prevent discovery bears a heavy burden. Blankenship v. Hearst Corp., 519 F.2d 418, 429 (9th Cir. 1975). Generally, a stay of discovery is appropriate if the district court is certain that the plaintiff cannot make out a viable claim for relief or if the pending dispositive motion may be decided absent additional discovery. Ciuffitelli, 2016 WL 6963039, at *4; Camacho v. United States, No. 12-cv-956-CAB (BGS), 2014 WL 12026059, at * 3 (S.D. Cal. Aug. 15, 2014); see also GTE Wireless, Inc. v. Qualcomm, Inc., 192 F.R.D. 284, 286 (S.D. Cal. 2000) (stating that courts should "take a preliminary peek at the merits of the allegedly dispositive motion to see if on its face there appears to be an immediate and clear possibility that it will be granted"). Here, the court is not certain. That is, after a preliminary review of the pending motion to dismiss, the court is unconvinced that plaintiff is unable to sustain any claim for relief. Weighing the principles of judicial economy, proportionality, and other considerations, the court concludes that defendant has not sustained its heavy burden of demonstrating that a stay of discovery is warranted. Ordered by United States Magistrate Judge Jeff Armistead. (pjg)
