Case No. 2:16-cv-00733-APG-GWF
ORDER

12
13

This matter is before the Court on the Confidentiality Agreement and Stipulation for Entry

14

of a Qualified Protective Order (ECF No. 32) filed March 22, 2017. The proposed protective order

15

states that the party challenging a confidential designation has the burden of proof to establish that

16

the information or document is not entitled to such protection. This places the burden on the wrong

17

party. Rather, the burden of proof shall be on the designating party to show that the information or

18

document is entitled to such protection. The parties are directed to submit a revised protective order

19

with that clarification. Accordingly,

22

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Confidentiality Agreement and Stipulation for Entry
of a Qualified Protective Order (ECF No. 32) is denied, without prejudice.
DATED this 23rd day of March, 2017.
