The court finds good cause for the issuance of this confidentiality stipulation and protective order. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(c). Additionally, the provisions of the Protective Order, set forth within the attachment to the parties' motion (Dkt. 31, Ex. 1), are specifically incorporated by reference within this order, except that the court declines to retain jurisdiction to enforce the provisions of the Protective Order following the termination of this litigation. Further, nothing in this order shall authorize any party to file under seal, absent further court order, any confidential discovery material with the Clerk of Court or at trial as such filings are subject to greater scrutiny due to the common law right to inspect and copy judicial records and CASE NO. 8:08-CV-1227-T-30EAJ
