Opinion
Civil Action No. 06-cv-01024-MSK-BNB.
May 21, 2007
ORDER
This matter is before me on the following:
(1) Plaintiffs' Motion to Compel Re Bridgers' Deposition [Doc. # 125, filed 4/19/2007] (the "Motion to Compel");
(2) The Stipulated Motion for Court Approval of the Parties' Protective Order [Doc. # 133, filed 5/9/2007] (the "Motion for Blanket Protective Order"); and
(3) The Joint Motion to Continue Pretrial Order [Doc. # 147, filed 5/18/2007] (the "Motion to Continue Pretrial Conference").
I held a hearing on the motions today and made rulings on the record. In summary and for the reasons stated on the record:
IT IS ORDERED that the Motion to Compel is GRANTED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Motion for Blanket Protective Order is DENIED. If the defendants want a blanket protective order limiting the dissemination of the discovery taken in this case, they shall, on or before June 1, 2007, submit a protective order, approved by the plaintiffs and consistent with the requirements of Gillard v. Boulder Valley School Dist., 196 F.R.D. 382, 387-88 (D. Colo. 2000). Failure to submit an appropriate protective order within the time allowed shall waive the defendants' right to seek such a blanket protective order.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Motion to Continue Pretrial Conference is GRANTED. The pretrial conference erroneously set to occur before me on May 29, 2007, at 9:00 a.m., is VACATED. This order has no effect on the final pretrial order set to occur before the district judge on April 3, 2008, at 4:00 p.m.
