ORDER DENYING DEFENDANTS’

MOTIONS FOR PROTECTIVE

ORDERS RE PALCO’S NOTICES OF

DEPOSITION

Defendant General Star Indemnity Company’s and Defendant Transportation

Insurance Company’s Motions for Protective Orders as to The Pacific Lumber Company’s

(“PALCO”) notices of 30(b)(6) depositions and notice for the deposition of Mary Pat

DeChant came on for hearing before the Honorable Elizabeth D. Laporte in Department E on

September 19, 2006 at 9:00 a.m. The parties were represented by counsel of record at the

hearing.

After full consideration of all of the papers and exhibits filed by the parties, and for

the reasons stated at the hearing, the Court finds that there is insufficient cause to issue a

protective order precluding PALCO from the taking of the depositions of Mary Pat DeChant,

and insufficient cause to issue a protective order precluding PALCO from the taking of the

depositions of Transportation Insurance Company’s and General Star Indemnity Company’s

persons most knowledgeable.
