Defendants.

Before the Court is the parties’ Joint Motion to Modify the Protective Order. (ECF
18
No. 588). A defendant in this action, William Andreoli, initiated litigation in another
19
action against specific plaintiffs and counterclaim defendants from this action, who have
20
asserted counterclaims against Andreoli. See Andreoli v. Youngevity et al., Case No. 3:16-
21
cv-02922-BTM-JLB (the “Andreoli Litigation”). Good cause exists to modify a protective
22
order when such modification would avoid duplicative discovery. CBS Interactive, Inc. v.
23
Etilize, Inc., 257 F.R.D. 195, 206 (N.D. Cal. 2009). To avoid discovery in the Andreoli
24
Litigation duplicative of that in the above-referenced action, the Court hereby modifies the
25
Protective Order in this case (ECF No. 103) as follows:
26
Subject to and in addition to the existing Protective Order (ECF No. 103),
27
Youngevity shall produce as part of its discovery in the Andreoli Litigation the following
28
documents from Youngevity International et al. v. Todd Smith et al., Case No. 16-cv-00704,
1
16-cv-00704-BTM-JLB
1
and that the parties in the Andreoli Litigation may use the following documents in the
2
Andreoli Litigation subject to the requirements identified below:
3
All documents produced by Wakaya in this action dated between July 1, 2015,
4
and June 1, 2016, and containing the term “*Andreoli*”1 or “General Box”
