The parties have filed a proposed “Stipulated Protective Order” (ECF No. 10)
for the court’s consideration.
The court has developed concerns about entering protective orders that may
result in the sealing of materials which do not justify that protection. While the court
fully recognizes the right of the parties to enter into private agreements concerning
the discovery, retention and inadvertent disclosure of otherwise confidential
information, the court need not be a party to the agreement. Accepting the joint
representation of the parties that sensitive information may be exchanged, to the
extent either party concludes it is necessary to provide the court with copies of
otherwise confidential materials to be considered in connection with issues coming
25
before the court, such documents should be filed separately under seal with a courtesy
26
copy sent to chambers. If an issue arises concerning discovery, dissemination or use
27
of such materials by either party, an appropriate motion can be noted for hearing.
