CIVIL ACTION NO. 06-4556.

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
Presently before the court are five motions filed in this age discrimination case. The first is a Motion for a Protective Order, in which the Plaintiff seeks protection for her personal notes relating to a prior employment discrimination case. The second is a Motion to Compel the Defendants to produce Ronald Heigler for deposition. Mr. Heigler is the Chief Executive Officer of Greater Philadelphia Health Action. The Defendants have filed a Motion for a Protective Order seeking to bar the deposition of Mr. Heigler. The Honorable Bruce W. Kauffman, to whom the case is assigned, referred the discovery motions to the undersigned.
The motions filed on behalf of the Plaintiff were filed by her retained counsel, Thomas More Holland. Subsequent to these filings, Plaintiff filed a Motion to Dismiss Counsel. Plaintiff has also sought to withdraw the motion regarding the protective order for her personal notes and the motion to compel the deposition of Mr. Heigler. Mr. Holland has taken no position on any of the Plaintiff's motions, other than to set forth the lien he is owed for his fees and costs.
Judge Kauffman will be dismissing counsel from the case shortly. Thus, I will grant the Plaintiff's Motions to Withdraw the Motions for a Protective Order and to Compel the Deposition of Mr. Heigler.
An appropriate Order follows.
