REPLY to Response to Motion re 27 MOTION to Permit Jurisdictional Discovery filed by Oscar DeLeon, Isabel Deleon, Casey Dickson. (Attachments: # 1 Exhibit 1)(Kelly, Kristi) (Entered: 03/03/2026)

Oscar DeLeon, Isabel DeLeon, and Casey Dickson seek permission for jurisdictional discovery in an active federal case. They filed a motion on February 11, 2026, asking the court to allow them to gather evidence to establish the court's jurisdiction over the defendants. The motion includes a proposed order outlining the scope of discovery they want to pursue.

On March 3, 2026, the plaintiffs submitted a reply to the defendants' response opposing the motion. The reply aims to counter arguments against permitting discovery and reinforce the need for further factual development before the court rules on jurisdiction. The case has not yet been assigned to a judge, and the docket number and court remain unspecified.

The parties have not disclosed the underlying claims or the defendants' identities in the public filings. The jurisdictional discovery request signals that the plaintiffs face initial hurdles proving the court’s authority over the defendants.

The court’s decision on this motion will determine whether the plaintiffs can proceed with gathering evidence to support their jurisdictional claims or if the case risks dismissal at an early stage. The filings so far focus exclusively on procedural questions about jurisdictional fact-finding rather than the merits of the underlying dispute.
