ORDER GRANTING MOTION FOR PROTECTIVE ORDER ~ 1

1

The Court held a telephonic hearing on October 25, 2017 and on October 26,

2

2017. The Court heard from Ms. Flores through her own interpreter Gricelda

3

Ohrazda on October 26, 2017. Ms. Flores – through her interpreter – objected to

4

the release of her son Y.A.F.’s school information, stating she objected because

5

Y.A.F. is her son. The Court orally ruled that it would allow the release of the

6

information, as the information was critical to the action before the Court and the

7

statute at issue only requires notice be given for the release of information. The

8

Court has reviewed the record and files herein, and is fully informed. For good

9

cause shown the motion is GRANTED.

10

ACCORDINGLY, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED:

11

The parties’ Stipulated Motion for Protective Order (ECF No. 25) is

12

GRANTED. The terms of the Protective Order located at ECF No. 25 are

13

incorporated herein.

14

The District Court Executive is directed to enter this Order and furnish

15

copies to the parties and mail a copy of this Order to Ms. Flores at 520 Orondo

16

Avenue, Wenatchee, Washington 98801.
