Case No. 2:08-cv-00863-RCJ-GWF
ORDER ENTERING
TEMPORARY PROTECTIVE
ORDER
Re: Emergency Motion to Enforce
Amended Stipulated Protective
Order (#609)

13
14

This matter is before the Court on Defendants’ Emergency Motion to Enforce Amended

15

Stipulated Protective Order and to Strike Notice of Plaintiff’s Withdrawal of Consent (#609), filed

16

on January 25, 2013. Plaintiff has not yet filed a response to this Motion. The Court enters this

17

order to preserve or reinstate the status quo in this action regarding the disclosure of Defendants’

18

personal financial information, pending a final ruling on Defendant’s motion.

19

On July 25, 2012, the parties, including Plaintiff’s counsel, entered into an Amended

20

Stipulated Protective Order (#507) which provided that “[t]he production of financial information

21

by the Physician Defendants is for counsels’ eyes only and is not to be shared or distributed to

22

others, including the Plaintiff in this case and any other non-disclosing party in this case.” The

23

Amended Stipulated Protective Order (#507) was not signed by the Court. The undersigned is not

24

aware that Magistrate Judge Johnston or the District Judge made any affirmative decision not to

25

sign and enter the amended stipulated protective order, which appears to be consistent with

26

Magistrate Judge Johnston’s oral instructions to the parties on April 25, 2012. Emergency Motion

27

(#609), Exhibit C. Accordingly,

28

...

1

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Amended Stipulated Protective Order (#507), filed with

2

the Court on July 25, 2012 is hereby adopted by the Court pending the final decision on this matter.

3

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff’s counsel shall not disclose any of the

4

financial information produced by Defendants’ counsel on or about January 24, 2013 to any other

5

person until the Court issues a final decision on Defendants’ Emergency Motion to Enforce

6

Amended Stipulated Protective Order and to Strike Notice of Plaintiff’s Withdrawal of Consent

7

(#609).

9

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that if Plaintiff’s counsel has provided copies of
Defendants’ financial information to any other persons, he shall immediately retrieve all such

10

copies and provide written certification that he has done so to the Court on or before February 1,

11

2013 at 5:00 P.M.

12

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff’s shall respond to the motion in the ordinary

13

course and the Court hereby sets a hearing on this matter for Wednesday, February 27, 2013 at

14

10:00 a.m.
