Civil Action No. 14-cv-00933-MEH
HANAN ALI, and
LENA DERANI,
Plaintiffs,
v.
JERUSALEM RESTAURANT, INC.,
Defendant.

MINUTE ORDER
Entered by Michael E. Hegarty, United States Magistrate Judge, on November 13, 2014.
The Parties’ Stipulated Confidentiality Agreement and Protective Order, improperly filed
as a “motion” in this case [filed November 12, 2014; docket #40] is denied without prejudice, and
the proposed Stipulated Protective Order is refused. Parties may not simply file a proposed order
without a motion seeking relief from the Court. 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 specific mechanism by which the parties may challenge
the designation of information as confidential. See id. at 388-89. Also, the Court will reject any
request to retain continuing jurisdiction over an action that has been closed. Finally, the parties shall
provide to this Court a copy of the proposed protective order in useable format (Word, Word
Perfect).
