What is the test for abuse of discretion in the context of discovery?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Swift v. Lewis, 17 F.3d 396 (9th Cir. 1993):
We review the district court's rulings concerning discovery for an abuse of discretion. United States v. Bourgeois, 964 F.2d 935, 937 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, 113 S.Ct. 290 (1992). The district court did not abuse its discretion by limiting the prisoners' scope and extent of discovery requests that had been propounded before the qualified immunity question was resolved. See Harlow, 457 U.S. at 818 ("[u]ntil th[e] threshold immunity question is resolved, discovery should not be allowed").
