(ODD-DOCKET LAW CLERK)

ORDER GRANTING MOTION FOR PROTECTIVE ORDER
Pending before the Court is the Motion for Protective Order (doc.
406) filed by third-party Hewlett Packard Company ("HP") on September
5, 2012.

In the motion, HP requests that it be protected from

responding to a subpoena duces tecum served on it by defendant
Travelport, Ltd. and Travelport, LP (collectively, "Travelport") on
August 10, in part due to the fact that the parties had requested
a stay of all proceedings in this case pending mediation.

On

September 6, the requested stay was granted, staying all claims herein
until December 21, 2012. As a result, the Court concludes that the
motion for protective order should be and hereby is GRANTED, in that
HP need not produce documents responsive to Travelport's subpoena
duces tecum until a mutually convenient date and time prior to January
18, 2013, in the offices of HP's attorney, Tim Gavin, Carrington,
Coleman, Sloman & Blumenthal, L.L.P., 901 Main Street, Suite 5500,
Dallas, Texas 75202, assuming a settlement is not reached during
mediation.
Furthermore, assuming mediation is not successful, counsel for
HP and Travelport should again confer at a mutually agreeable date
and time between December 22 and January 4, 2013, in an attempt to

for protective order prior to the January 18 production deadline.
