MEMO TO COUNSEL RE: Michael Blake, et al. v. Nancy Chang Yue, M.D., et al.
Civil No. JFM-14-3802
Dear Counsel:
I have reviewed the memoranda submitted in connection with defendant’s motion for
protective order (document 17). The motion is denied. I am satisfied that the best way for
defense counsel to communicate with the treating physicians for Michael Blake is through the
discovery process. Of course, if requested, I will consider a motion to seal any depositions
and/or interrogatory answers to preserve the confidentiality of patient information.
Despite the informal nature of this letter, it should be flagged as an opinion and docketed
as an order.

Very truly yours,
/s/

J. Frederick Motz
United States District Judge
