No later than January 7, 2013, Lloyds TSB Bank, PLC (“Lloyds”) shall file a 5-page letter
brief addressing the following issues:
1.
Which entities are Lloyds’ “competitors” for purposes of its proposed definition of
“expert,” and why are these entities “competitors.”
2. Why the information Lloyds seeks to designate as “highly confidential” merits that
level of protection.
3. Should the court agree with Lloyds that the above provisions are appropriate, why
19
should the protective order not include a fee-shifting provision if Plaintiffs
20
successfully challenge Lloyd’s designations of “highly confidential” materials and/or
21
“competitors.”
22
The temporary protective order entered on December 6, 2012 (Dkt. No. 73) will continue to apply
