The parties have submitted a proposed stipulated protective order for the Court's approval. The legal authority cited in the stipulation is based on California law and the proposed procedure governing the filing of confidential documents is premised on the California Rules of Court. Since this case is pending in federal court, any proposed protective order submitted for the Court's approval should be governed by federal law, the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the Local Rules of this Court. The Court notes that a sample form protective order is available on the Court's website. See Civ. L.R. 79-5 (procedure for filing of sealed documents). IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT the parties' proposed stipulated protective order is DENIED without prejudice to the resubmission of a properly-supported, proposed stipulated protective order. IT IS SO ORDERED.
