THIS MATTER is before the Court on Defendant's oral motion requesting the production of the settlement agreement between Plaintiffs and Emergency Medical Services Corporation, EmCare, Inc., EmCare Holdings, Inc., Emergency Medical Services, L.P., and Envision Healthcare Corporation (“the Settlement Agreement”), which Plaintiffs contend is relevant to the issue of damages. See Doc. No. 279 p. 1.

Aug. 14, 2020) (confidentiality provisions in “settlement agreements do not bar their disclosure.").
SO ORDERED
