Opinion
Civil Action No. 04-cv-01271-EWN-BNB.

ORDER
This matter is before me on the plaintiff's Motion for Protective Order [Doc. # 135, filed 6/16/06] (the "Motion"). The Motion is DENIED.
The plaintiff is an incarcerated person proceeding pro se. He seeks a protective order barring defendants' counsel from conducting any discovery regarding his criminal convictions.
I will not issue a blanket protective order. The plaintiff may assert his Fifth Amendment right to remain silent on a question-by-question basis. The defendants may seek an order to compel answers to the questions where appropriate. Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that the Motion is DENIED.
