THIS MATTER comes before the Court on the parties’ Stipulated Motion for Protective
Order. Dkt. #100. The Court has reviewed the proposed Protective Order and objects to the
following proposals by the parties:


17

with respect to sealing documents containing the Confidential Information

18
19

this Stipulated Protective Order satisfies the parties’ meet-and-confer requirements

identified in paragraph 2 of this Stipulated Protective Order;


20

If the Court denies any motion to seal filed by either side, the document will remain
under seal, but will not be considered by the Court, unless a redacted version of the

21

document is subsequently filed or was contemporaneously filed with the document

22

under seal; and

ORDER - 1



1

In the event that either party files a motion, opposition, or reply under seal, the

2

provisions of LCR 5(g)(5) shall apply, except that parties shall have seven days

3

from the date of their under-seal filing to file the redacted versions required under

4

that rule.

5

Dkt. #100at 4-7. The Court finds these terms to be inconsistent with the Court’s accepted practices

6

regarding motions to seal (LCR 5), inconsistent with proposed section 6.3 of the Protective Order,

7

and inconsistent with the standards governing motions to seal.
Accordingly, the Court DENIES the parties’ Stipulated Motion for Protective Order (Dkt.

8
9
10

#100).
Nothing in this Order precludes the parties from filing a subsequent motion for a Protective

11

Order once these deficiencies have been addressed.
