MINUTE ORDER
ORDER ENTERED BY MAGISTRATE JUDGE KATHLEEN M. TAFOYA
Defendant’s “Uncontested Motion for Protective Order” (Doc. No. 31, filed June 13, 2014) is
GRANTED in part. The proposed Stipulated Protective Order will be entered with the following
modification.
The third sentence of Paragraph 5(a) of the proposed Protective Order provides that “[t]he party
filing any Confidential Document (the “Filing Party”) shall be responsible for filing a concurrent
Motion to Restrict Public Access in accordance with D.C.COLO.LCivR 7.2(c) citing as grounds
for the restriction the existence of this Protective Order.” (Doc. No. 31-1, ¶ 5(a), emphasis
added.) D.C.COLO.LCivR 7.2(c)(2) explicitly provides that “stipulated protective orders with
regard to discovery, alone, are insufficient to justify restriction.” Instead a party seeking
restriction must fully address the factors outlined in Local Rule 7.2.
Accordingly, the underlined language quoted above is not acceptable and will be removed from
the Protective Order entered by the court. The Clerk of Court is directed to modify and enter the
proposed Protective Order accordingly.
Dated: June 16, 2014.
