CIVIL ACTION NUMBER: 12-0536

LARIAN WALLIS v. HORNBECK OFFSHORE OPERATORS, L.L.C., ET AL.
ORDER AND REASONS
The following constitutes the ruling of the Court on Plaintiff's motion to compel. (Rec. doc. 102).
By way of request for production of documents No. 9, Plaintiff sought, inter alia, a complete copy of Hornbeck's "[s]afety manuals . . ." The Court is of the opinion that Hornbeck's Safe Operations Manual constitutes but one document, albeit one that is comprised of multiple pages. As Hornbeck concedes that portions of the document are relevant to this litigation and it makes no assertion that the document or any portions thereof are privileged, the document is to be produced to Plaintiff in its entirety. Any concerns over the disclosure of any sensitive or proprietary information can be sufficiently allayed through the entry of a protective order. The Court will provide the parties with a copy of its model protective order for that purpose.
New Orleans, Louisiana, this 23rd day of July, 2014.
