MALIBU MEDIA, LLC, Plaintiff, v. JOHN DOES 1-22, Defendants.
MINUTE ORDER
Entered by Michael E. Hegarty , United States Magistrate Judge, on January 25, 2013.
For the same reasons set forth in this Court's December 4, 2012 order in Patrick Collins, Inc. v. John Doe #2, No. 12-cv-00848-REB-MEH, docket #63, Defendant Doe #7's Motion for Protective Order [filed December 1, 2012; docket #110] is granted in part and denied in part. Doe #7 has not met his burden to demonstrate that a protective order is proper to prohibit the Plaintiff's discovery of his identity from the ISP; however, having no objection from the Plaintiff, the Court will order that Doe #7's identity remain restricted from the public until such anonymity becomes a hindrance or obstruction to the just, speedy and inexpensive adjudication of this action, or until further order of this Court.
The Court further finds that, although Defendant did not file a separate motion in accordance with D.C. Colo. LCivR 7.1C and D.C. Colo. LCivR. 7.2B, the other requirements of D.C. Colo. LCivR 7.2 have been met. Therefore, the Court orders that the Clerk of the Court maintain under Restriction Level 2 those documents located at docket #110-4 and #110-5 until further order of the Court.
