_______________________________

ORDER

Pending before the Court is the Joint Motion Governing Clawback of
Inadvertently Produced Documents [# 24]. The parties in this case have jointly filed
a copy of an agreement between them governing how the parties intend to handle
the inadvertent production of documents in discovery. The parties, however, filed
this agreement as a motion. Upon a review of the pleading, the Court is unclear why
the parties have filed their executed agreement as a motion in this Court, much less
what the parties want this Court to rule on. The parties are certainly entitled to enter
various agreements among themselves regarding the handling of discovery without
seeking the intervention of this Court. To the extent that the parties seek a protective
order from the Court, then the parties should file a motion for a protective order with
-1-

a legal memorandum setting forth the relief sought by the parties. Accordingly, the
Court DENIES without prejudice the motion [# 24].
