Defendants.

The following minute order is made at the direction of the Court, the Honorable
James P. Donohue, United States Magistrate Judge:

18

This matter comes before the Court upon the parties’ submission of a proposed

19

stipulated protective order. Dkt. 56. Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(c), protective orders may

20

be entered to protect confidential commercial information and/or to limit the scope of specific

21

disclosures. Such protective orders may issue upon a showing of good cause. Although

22

parties may agree on confidentiality among themselves, when they request that the court be

23

involved, the proposed order must be narrowly drawn, identifying both the type of information

24

that is to be protected and, if not obvious, the reason such protection is warranted.

25
26

In this district, parties are strongly encouraged to use this district’s model protective
order, which is available on the Court’s website. However, with the exception of the

introductory paragraph, the stipulated protective order submitted by the parties in this case

2

appears to differ substantially from the model protective order. LCR 26(c) requires that

3

“[p]arties that wish to depart from the model order must provide the court with a redlined

4

version identifying departures from the model.” To date, neither party has provided the Court

5

with a redline version that reflects the differences between their submission and the model

6

protective order approved for use in this district. Accordingly, the parties shall submit a proper

7

redline version to the Court by no later than Wednesday, September 20, 2017.

8

The Clerk is directed to send a copy of this Minute Order to counsel for all parties.

DATED this 13th day of September, 2017.
