March 9, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 133 MINUTES ORDER RE DEFENDANTS' MOTION TO DE-DESIGNATE THE DEPOSITION OF RYAN HICKMAN (Dkt. No. 98) by Magistrate Judge John E. McDermott: granting #98 MOTION for Order. The Court, therefore, ORDERS Defendants to reproduce and redesignate the HC/AEO documents discussed at the deposition to clearly identify the protected portion(s). (Id., 6.3(a).) This apparently will not be a problem for Defendants, as they stated in their Supplemental Memorandum that they "offered to redesignate all relevant documents line by line" (Dkt. 123 at 4:17-18) and to "de-designate and re-produce all relevant documents making line-by-line designations" (id. at 1:25-26). The Court, however, is concerned only with the documents discussed at the deposition. Theredesignations are to be produced within 7 days of this Order. This is a result Yuga recommended if the Motion was granted. (Dkt. 98-1 at 13:8-11.) (See document for further information). (et)
