IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

KIMBERLY L. ANDREE,
Plaintiff,
v.
JOSEPH HOY, individually and in his official capacity as the Sheriff of Eagle County,
Defendant.

MINUTE ORDER
ORDER ENTERED BY MAGISTRATE JUDGE KATHLEEN M. TAFOYA
This matter is before the court on the “Joint Stipulated Motion for Protective Order” (Doc. No.
17, filed Jan. 23, 2012). The Motion is DENIED and the proposed Protective Order is
REFUSED. The parties are granted leave to submit a motion for protective order and revised
form of protective order consistent with the comments contained here.
Gillard v. Boulder Valley School District, 196 F.R.D. 382 (D. Colo. 2000), set out certain
requirements for the issuance of a blanket protective order such as the one sought here. Among
other things, any information designated by a party as confidential must first be reviewed by a
lawyer who will certify that the designation as confidential is “based on a good faith belief that
[the information] is confidential or otherwise entitled to protection.” Gillard, 196 F.R.D. at 386.
The proposed Protective Order does not comply with this requirement of Gillard.
Therefore, it is ORDERED that the Motion for Protective Order is DENIED without prejudice,
and the proposed Protective Order is REFUSED.
Dated: January 24, 2012
