DYLAN CAMPBELL, Plaintiff, v. UNIVERSAL CITY DEVELOPMENT PARTNERS, LTD., Defendant
ORDER
LESLIE HOFFMAN PRICE UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
This matter comes before the Court on review of Plaintiff's Motion to Vacate or Modify Stipulated Protective Order (Doc. No. 101) and Defendant's Memorandum of Law in Opposition (Doc. No. 104). Upon consideration, the Court has determined that a reply from Plaintiff would be beneficial in resolving the motion, directed to certain issues raised by Defendant in response.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED that on or before 5:00 p.m. on Monday March 11, 2024, Plaintiff shall file a reply brief, not to exceed seven (7) pages in length addressing the following:
1. Plaintiff's compliance, prior to filing the motion, with the specific procedures set forth in the parties' Stipulated Confidentiality Agreement
regarding alleged improper designations of “Confidential” or “Highly Confidential” material. Plaintiff's reply brief shall include a detailed recitation regarding “notify[ing] the producing party in writing and provid[ing] a written description of the Material which the objecting party believes should not be subject to the confidentiality provisions” as set forth in the Stipulated Confidentiality Agreement. See Doc. No. 104-1 ¶ 13. Plaintiff shall submit any written documentation supporting his reply in this regard. The reply shall also address, in detail, the good faith conferral conducted pursuant to that provision. See id.
2. Plaintiff's compliance with the terms of the Stipulated Confidentiality Agreement as it relates to counsel's request to permit student access to confidential materials, see Doc. No. 104-1 ¶¶ 11-12, particularly in light of Defendant's statement that it has “agreed to allow Plaintiff's counsel to give access to the Highly Confidential Material to his students who are assigned to this case - but to date, Plaintiff's counsel has not availed himself of that opportunity.” See Doc. No. 104, at 14. Plaintiff shall submit as exhibits any written documentation supporting his reply.
3. Plaintiff's compliance with the provisions of the Stipulated Confidentiality Agreement with regard to Plaintiff's access to materials designated “Highly Confidential,” see Doc. No. 104-1 ¶¶ 11-13, particularly
in light of Defendant's contention that Plaintiff's motion “is the first time that [Defendant] has heard that Plaintiff would like to see any of [Defendant's] Highly Confidential Material.” See Doc. No. 104, at 14. Plaintiff shall submit as exhibits any written documentation supporting his reply.
4. Whether Plaintiff's request is ripe for disposition given that Plaintiff identifies no filing he intends to make for which he needs to file any materials designated “Confidential” or “Highly Confidential” under the Stipulated Confidentiality Agreement. See Doc. No. 101; see also Smart Commc'ns Holding, Inc. v. Correct Sols., LLC, No. 8:20-cv-1469-T-30JSS, 2020 WL 10498682, at *2 (M.D. Fla. Oct. 16, 2020) (“CSG's request to vacate specific confidentiality designations is premature at this time because CSG has not sought to file the challenged materials in support of any motion.”).
DONE and ORDERED.
