MINUTE ORDER
Entered by Michael E. Hegarty, United States Magistrate Judge, on March 28, 2014.
The proposed Stipulated Confidentiality Agreement and Protective Order, improperly filed
as a “motion” in this case [filed March 27, 2014; docket # 39], is denied without prejudice, and
the proposed Stipulated Protective Order is refused. First, parties may not simply file a proposed
order without a motion seeking relief from the Court. Second, the proposed order contains an
insufficient provision concerning challenges to the confidentiality of a document or other
information. Thus, the parties are granted leave to submit a revised proposed protective order
consistent with Gillard v. Boulder Valley Sch. Dist., 196 F.R.D. 382 (D. Colo. 2000), in which the
Court requires a mechanism by which the parties may challenge the designation of information as
confidential. See id. at 388-89.
