On June 14, 2012, Defendant The Hershey Company (“Defendant”) filed a Motion

14

requesting, inter alia, the entry of protective order barring Plaintiff Leon Khasin “from pursuing his

15

burdensome discovery demands relating to statements in [Defendant’s] website, advertising and

16

labeling” because “[s]uch discovery has no probative value to any claims properly remaining in the

17

case.” See Docket Item No. 68.

18

This court has referred all disputes with respect to discovery and disclosure to the assigned

19

magistrate judge and will not entertain Defendant’s request as part of a dispositive motion. See

20

Docket Item No. 60. Accordingly, Defendant shall forthwith re-file its request for a protective order

21

only as a separate motion and notice such motion before Magistrate Judge Paul S. Grewal. All other

22

issues contained in the motion remain as set before the undersigned.

23

IT IS SO ORDERED.
