IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO
Magistrate Judge Boyd N. Boland
Civil Action No. 12-cv-03322-LTB-BNB
MIDCITIES METROPOLITAN DISTRICT NO. 1, a quasi-municipal corporation and political
subdivision of the State of Colorado,
v.
U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association,
Defendant.
______________________________________________________________________________
ORDER
______________________________________________________________________________
Pending is the Defendant’s Unopposed Motion for Entry of Stipulated Protective
Order [Doc. # 41, filed 2/18/2014] (the “Motion for Protective Order”). Although I regularly
enter blanket protective orders to facilitate orderly discovery of confidential information, the
Stipulated Protective Order proposed here is 16 pages long and unreasonably complex. A
preferred form of protective order is attached as an appendix in Gillard v. Boulder Valley School
District, 196 F.R.D. 382 (D. Colo. 2000). I will consider a proposed protective order more
consistent with that allowed in Gillard.
IT IS ORDERED that the Motion for Protective Order [Doc. 41] is DENIED without
prejudice, subject to the submission of a proposed protective order as described here.
Dated February 26, 2014.
BY THE COURT:
