WAL-MART STORES, INC.,

Re: Dkt. Nos. 1004, 1006

Now pending before the Court is the parties’ Joint Discovery Letter Brief (Dkt. No. 1006).

14

Plaintiffs in Ladik, et al. v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., No. 13-CV-123 (W.D. WI), members of the

15

former class in this action, seek to modify the protective order in this action to allow limited use of

16

certain data previously produced in this action in the Ladkik case. As the Ladkik plaintiffs have

17

demonstrated good cause for the modification, as such modification poses no burden on

18

Defendant, and for the reasons stated on the record during oral argument, the protective order

19

(Dkt. No. 35) is modified to allow the Ladik plaintiffs to access to the so-called Drogin data

20

regarding the stores at which they were employed for the time period they were employed by Wal-

21

Mart. Any questions regarding the admissibility of this data should be presented to the District

22

Court for the Western District of Wisconsin. This Order only authorizes use of data already in

23

Plaintiff’s counsel’s possession in the Ladik case for whatever purpose the Ladik court allows.

24

This Order disposes of Docket Nos. 1004 and 1006.

25

IT IS SO ORDERED.
