UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
MICHAEL J BELLEAU,
Plaintiff,

Case No. 12-C-1198

v.
EDWARD F. WALL, Secretary Wisconsin
Department of Corrections,
Defendants.

ORDER APPROVING PROPOSED PROTECTIVE ORDER

The Court has directed entry of the proposed Protective Order to which the parties stipulated
subject to one modification. The Court has struck subsection 11(h) which makes the Court and all
persons assisting the Court subject to the limitation on the use of confidential material. This
provision is unnecessary. The Court does not expect to have access to any information other than
what is filed with the Court. The parties should not file with the Court any information, confidential
or otherwise, that is not relevant to the action. If the information is used in the Court’s analysis, it
must be disclosed. See Union Oil Co. of California v. Leavell, 220 F.3d 562, 567 (7th Cir. 2000)
and Hicklin Eng’g, L.C. v. Bartell, 439 F.3d 346 (7th Cir. 2006). The Court will use every effort
to avoid disclosing confidential and embarrasing information. To the extent such information is
necessary for full understanding of the rationale of any decision the Court enters, however, it must

be disclosed. Moreover, the parties are expected to comply with General Local Rule 79(d) in filing
any matters under seal. Subject to this modification, the order is approved.
SO ORDERED at Green Bay, Wisconsin this 10th

day of June, 2014.
