DEFENDANTS

ORDER
1. Tillery' s motion for clarification actually seeks reconsideration on the
protective order/contact/transfer issues that the Court has previously
addressed several times. The Court again notes the following: Tillery is not
her husband's lawyer; he is not a party to this case, and has not sought to
become a party; there has been no showing that ADC is harassing him based
on this case or interfering with his access to the Court; the Court has granted
Tillery a post-deposition meeting in October with her husband for trial
preparation; and Tillery still h as periodic email and m ail contact with her

husband. The record has not materially changed. The motion to clarify and
reconsider is therefore denied.
2. Tillery' s motion to compel is denied without prejudice. She must
follow the Court's procedure specified in the Final Scheduling Order, NQ 27

at 2, for bringing discovery disputes to the Court for decision. Among other
things, that Order states: "Do not file motions to compel." Ibid. This
direction is clear and unequivocal.
