Case No. 2:15-cv-00906-KJD-NJK
ORDER
(Docket No. 23)

16

Crafting a blanket protective order by which counsel may designate documents as confidential

17

is generally a non-controversial endeavor that should not require court intervention. Currently pending

18

before the Court is Defendant’s motion seeking entry of such a blanket protective order. Docket No.

19

23. That motion indicates that opposing counsel refused to consent to entry of the protective order, but

20

provides no explanation as to the basis for that refusal. See id. at 2.

21

The Court ORDERS counsel to further confer in an effort to craft a protective order amenable

22

to both parties. This conference must be conducted in person, face-to-face. In the unlikely event further

23

discussions prove unfruitful, counsel may return to the Court for further guidance. In the event counsel

24

have competing protective orders, they shall file a stipulation attaching both proposed protective orders

25

that explains the differences in each and provides argument from counsel on those differences. Such

26

stipulation must be filed no later than December 4, 2015. In the event Plaintiff is objecting outright to

27

entry of any blanket protective order, Defendant may file a renewed motion no later than December 4,

28

1

2015. Any response shall be filed no later than December 8, 2015, and any reply shall be filed no later

2

than December 9, 2015.

3

The pending motion for protective order (Docket No. 23) is hereby DENIED without prejudice.

4

IT IS SO ORDERED.
