Before the Court is the parties’ Stipulated Protective Order, ECF No. 16.

19 Plaintiff is represented by Robert King. Defendant is represented by Danielle
20 McKenzie, Joseph Hampton, and Bradford Lamb. The motion was considered
21 without oral argument.

The parties ask the Court to sign a Protective Order that was drafted and

23 agreed to by the parties. It is this Court’s practice to not enter general Protective
24 Orders that simply set forth the parties’ agreement for handling “confidential”
25 materials.
26

The parties are free to contract between themselves regarding disclosure of

27 information produced in discovery and pursue appropriate remedies in the event of
28 breach; however, the Court will not be party to such an agreement. If, in the future,
