ORDER

10
Before the court is plaintiffs’ EMERGENCY Motion For A Protective Order and To Quash
11
Subpoena Requesting Production of Retainer Agreement. (#268). Wyndham defendants filed an
12
Opposition (#271), and individual defendant James Friedman filed a Joinder thereto (#272). Plaintiff
13
filed a Reply. (#273). The court held a hearing on March 28, 2012, at 9:30 a.m.
14
Having reviewed the moving papers and considered the arguments made during the hearing, the
15
court finds that defendants are entitled to the dates that plaintiffs’ counsel transmitted the retainer
16
agreements to each current and former plaintiff and the dates that each current and former plaintiff
17
signed the retainer agreements. Plaintiffs shall make a good faith effort to locate the dates when the
18
retainer agreements were transmitted to each current and former plaintiff, including inquiring of the
19
current and former plaintiffs as to whether they have documentation evidencing or an independent
20
recollection of when they received the retainer agreements. Plaintiffs are not required to produce the
21
actual retainer agreements at this time.
22
During the hearing, plaintiffs’ counsel indicated that a confidential document was inadvertently
23
disclosed as an exhibit to the plaintiffs’ motion (#268). Accordingly, plaintiffs asked this court to seal
24
Exhibit 12 (#268-4 Pages 163-170) attached to plaintiffs’ motion.
25
Accordingly, and for good cause shown,
