PROCEEDINGS: (IN CHAMBERS)

The parties’ proposed Stipulation and Protective Order has been referred by the
District Judge to the Magistrate Judge for consideration. The parties are advised that
the Court declines to issue the proposed protective order to which they have
stipulated for the following reasons:

1.

While the Court is willing to enter a protective order in
accordance with the parties’ stipulation in order to facilitate the
conduct of discovery, the Court is unwilling to include in the
protective order any provisions relating to evidence presented at
trial or other court hearings or proceedings. Any use of Protected
Material at trial or other court hearings or proceedings shall
be governed by the orders of the trial judge. The stipulation
should, thus, include language to make this explicit.

2.

The parties shall include a statement of good cause, as required by
Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(c). Such showing should be made separate
from the parties’ stipulation regarding the terms of the proposed
protective order.

3.

Proposed ¶¶ 6.3 and 7.4(c) need to be revised to make clear
that any motion challenging a party’s designation of
material as Confidential Information or Highly Confidential
