MEMORANDUM
AND ORDER

The parties in this case are engaged in a discovery dispute concerning the production of
documents and other materials containing confidential and proprietary information. These
documents and other materials contain information about Defendant’s company policies and
procedures, Defendant’s proprietary business and financial information, Plaintiff’s financial
information, and Plaintiff’s medical care and treatment. Currently pending are Plaintiff’s Motion
for Protective Order (Filing No. 56), Motion to Compel Discovery (Filing No. 69), and Motion
for Sanctions (Filing No. 75). Also pending is Defendant’s Motion for Protective Order. (Filing
No. 63.) The parties aver that they have conferred about the issues raised in their discovery
motions, and have been unable to reach an agreement.
The court has carefully reviewed the relevant pleadings and finds that the court would
significantly benefit from the assistance of the magistrate judge in resolving the parties’ discovery
dispute.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that: The above-mentioned motions are referred to
Magistrate Judge Zwart for decision. (Filing Nos. 56, 63, 69, and 75.) See General Order 201002 (“Except for motions filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 and except for death penalty cases, all pro
se cases shall be assigned to Magistrate Judge Zwart as the assigned magistrate judge.”).
