UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD
COMPANY,
Defendant.
This matter is before the court on the parties’ Stipulation and Motion for
Protective Order (Filing No. 170). The parties seek entry of a Protective Order for
production through discovery of certain information regarding discipline of a Union
Pacific employee (hereinafter “Protected Information”). The court finds a Protective
Order should be granted. Accordingly,

IT IS ORDERED that the Protected Information shall not be disclosed, produced
or disseminated to anyone who is not involved in this case by plaintiff or his legal
counsel. The plaintiff and his legal counsel shall not allow this Protected Information to
be disseminated to the Internet or any other electronic media. The plaintiff and his legal
counsel shall ensure that if the Protected Information is given to any consultant, witness
or expert witness, that these individuals shall be advised of this Protective Order and
shall be bound by the same, and further that they shall not disseminate the Protected
Information to the Internet, any outside electronic media, or any other individuals. At the
conclusion of this litigation, all original and all copies of any portions thereof of the
Protected Information shall be immediately destroyed by the plaintiff and his legal
counsel, or in the alternative, shall be immediately returned to the defendant.
Dated this 20th day of August, 2014.
