IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA
ALLIANCE INDUSTRIES LIMITED
and
ALLIANCE INDUSTRIES FZC

CIVIL ACTION
NO. 13-2510

v.
A-1 SPECIALIZED SERVICES &
SUPPLIES, INC.

Baylson, J.

April 30, 2014

MEMORANDUM OF REASONS FOR ADOPTION OF PROTECTIVE ORDER
Plaintiff proposed a Protective Order that would limit confidential material to counsel and
witnesses, et al. in this case only. As noted in the Court’s prior opinions, the English litigation is
related but not necessarily “parallel.” However, plaintiff is using the same law firm in this
litigation and in the English litigation. Defendant has different counsel in the English litigation.
The Court adopted defendant’s proposed Protective Order allowing documents produced in this
litigation to be provided to defendants’ attorneys in England to achieve parity and equal access to
confidential information.
