ORDER

Plaintiffs,
v.
SARBANAND FARMS, LLC, et al.,

14

Defendants.

16

This matter comes before the Court on Plaintiffs’ second motion for an order providing

17

for the release of information from the Washington State Employment Security Division

18

(“ESD”) (Dkt. No. 123). Defendants and the ESD have not opposed the motion. (See id., Dkt.

19

No. 127.) Upon review of Plaintiffs’ motion and the relevant record, the Court finds that the need

20

for the information and records in the current proceedings outweighs any privacy and

21

confidentiality considerations. See Wash. Rev. Code § 50.13.070. Upon receipt and review of the

22

documents, the parties may consult and prepare a stipulated protective order to present to the

23

Court, or move to file under seal any documents containing confidential information. For the

24

foregoing reasons, Plaintiff’s motion for an order providing for the release of information from

25

the ESD (Dkt. No. 123) is GRANTED. The Court APPROVES Plaintiffs’ proposed subpoena

26

(Dkt. No. 123-1).
