CASE NO. C17-1190JLR

Before the court is the parties’ proposed stipulated protective order. (See Stip.

17

(Dkt. # 63).) The court declines to enter the parties’ stipulation as an order because they

18

failed to comply with Local Civil Rule 26(c)(2). See Local Rules W.D. Wash. LCR

19

26(c)(2). Pursuant to this rule, “[p]arties are encouraged to use this district’s model

20

protective order, available on the court’s website.” Id. “Parties that wish to depart from

21

the model order must provide the court with a redlined version identifying departures

22

from the model.” Id. Here, the parties appear to utilize the court’s model protective

ORDER - 1

1

order but depart from it in certain respects. (See Stip.) Despite their departure from the

2

model, the parties fail to provide the court with a redlined version as required under Local

3

Civil Rule 26(c)(2). (See generally Dkt.) Accordingly, the court DENIES the parties’

4

stipulated motion (Dkt. # 63) but without prejudice to re-filing in a manner that comports

5

with Local Civil Rule 26(c)(2).
