At the June 7, 2018 hearing, counsel for defendant asked that, if denied, the motion for a
protective order be denied without prejudice as to the future filing of a motion seeking a
protective order. Of course, counsel for defendant may again seek a protective order, if
appropriate. However, with respect to the April 9, 2018 motion addressing the two specific
discovery requests at issue, the motion is denied with prejudice.
