ORDER

Pending before the Court is the Motion for Protective Order [# 34]. Plaintiff
moves for a protective order quashing or staying the deposition of Plaintiff. On
November 18, 2015, the Court held a hearing on the motion. After considering the
argument of counsel, reviewing the entire record in this matter, and after
considering the relevant legal authority, the Court orally denied the motion and
directed that the depositions proceed. The Court found that the Plaintiff failed to
satisfy its burden of demonstrating that the issuance of a protective order was
appropriate in this case. The Court now enters this Order to perfect the November
18, 2015, oral ruling. The Court DENIES the motion [# 34] for the reasons stated
orally at the hearing.

Signed: November 20, 2015
