April 3, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 43 MINUTE ORDER, Motions terminated: #42 Stipulated MOTION for Protective Order filed by National Securities Corporation.The following MINUTE ORDER is made by direction of the Court, the Honorable Ricardo S. Martinez, Chief United States District Judge: On April 2, 2020, Defendant filed the above stipulated Motion for a Protective Order. The Motion is missing a title in the caption and otherwise appears to have been unmodified from the model version. For example, the Motion includes the Court's model fill-in-the-blank language instead of a list of specific confidential documents: "'Confidential' material shall include the following documents and tangible things produced or otherwise exchanged: [The parties must include a list of specific documents such as 'companys customer list' or 'plaintiffs medical records;' do not list broad categories of documents such as 'sensitive business material']."
