ORDER DENYING AS MOOT STATE FARM MUTUAL’S MOTION
FOR PROTECTIVE ORDER WITH RESPECT TO ELITE DEFENDANTS’
RULE 30(b)(6) NOTICE OF DEPOSITION (DE 275) AND

STATE FARM MUTUAL’S MOTION FOR PROTECTIVE ORDER WITH
RESPECT TO PALEY’S AND DESAI’S RULE 30(b)(6) NOTICES OF
DEPOSITION (DE 283)
This matter is before the Court for consideration of Plaintiff State Farm
Mutual Automobile Insurance Company’s (“State Farm Mutual”) motion for
protective order with respect to Elite Defendants’ Rule 30(b)(6) notice of
deposition (DE 275) and State Farm Mutual’s motion for protective order with
respect to Paley’s and Desai’s Rule 30(b)(6) notices of deposition (DE 283). The
motions have been fully briefed, and a hearing was noticed for September 13,
2018.
About an hour into the hearing (at which counsel for the parties and movants
appeared), and following a brief recess during which the parties were invited to
engage in a meet and confer conference, they informed the Court that they had
fully resolved the matters that had been the subject of Plaintiff’s motions. Counsel
for the parties placed a stipulation as to these resolved matters on the record, which
the Court intends to enforce. Accordingly, Plaintiff’s motions (DEs 275, 283) are
DENIED as moot.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: September 13, 2018
