Order re: Stipulated Protective Order [Dkt. 26]

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.
Proposed ¶ 14 needs to be revised to make clear that any motion regarding
violations or enforcement of the Protective Order, challenging a party’s designation of material as
Confidential Information, or seeking to modify or amend the proposed Protective Order must be
brought in strict compliance with Local Rules 37-1 and 37-2 (including the Joint Stipulation
requirement).
3.
Proposed ¶ 23 needs to be revised to make clear that nothing in the protective
order shall be construed as authorizing a party to disobey a lawful subpoena or court order issued
in another action.

protective order.
