20 The motion was considered without oral argument.

24 materials.
25

The parties are free to contract between themselves regarding disclosure of

26 information produced in discovery and pursue appropriate remedies in the event of
27 breach; however, the Court will not be party to such an agreement. If, in the future,
28 the parties wish to file specific items of discovery in the court record and protect
