20 20 order Order on Motion for Protective Order Tue 11/12 3:23 PM
ORDER granting in part 19 Motion for Protective Order. The Court largely adopts the parties' proposed order with one minor modification. In section 8, the proposed language indicated that a pre-motion conference is optional if a party elects to challenge a confidentiality designation. However, a pre-motion would be mandatory if a party sought to file such a motion. As such, the Court changed the language to reflect that requirement. The protective order is otherwise adopted as proposed. The protective order is forthcoming. Signed by Magistrate Judge Brooks G. Severson on 11/12/2024. (This is a TEXT ENTRY ONLY. There is no.pdf document associated with this entry.) (tl)
