TALWANI, D.J.
Before the court are the parties’ (1) Joint Motion Requesting Court Order for Electronic
Discovery Plan [#54] and (2) Joint Motion to Approve Proposed Protective Order [#55]. As to
(1), the court hereby ALLOWS the parties’ motion to approve the parties’ proposed electronic
discovery plan and their agreement regarding inadvertent production of privileged or otherwise
protected documents and information.
As to (2), the parties’ Joint Motion to Approve Proposed Protective Order is hereby
ALLOWED IN PART and DENIED IN PART. The court approves the proposed protective
order, except insofar as the order governs the filing of materials containing confidential
designations in any court proceeding. Prior to the filing of any materials containing confidential
designations, the parties shall provide each other with notice and an opportunity to file a motion
to impound. Where a party files a motion to impound, the court will receive the original filing

only after it determines the protected status of information designated by a party as confidential.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
