provided such materials for return to opposing counsel or destruction.

No Disclosure of Social Security Numbers:

3. Under this Protective Order, documents and information revealing the Social 

Security Numbers of past or current employees of Defendants shall be deemed

party of the obligation of producing information in the course of discovery.

7. Upon termination of this case, counsel for the parties shall assemble and 

return to each other all documents, material and deposition transcripts and all copies of
