UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY

COMMISSION, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

LEXUS SERRAMONTE, ET AL.,

Defendants.

________________________________/

No. C 05-0962 SBA (JL)

ORDER

This Court ordered the parties to draft a stipulated proposed protective order using

the Court’s model order as a guide and to submit it to the Court for approval. The parties

were able to agree to all provisions. However, Defendants ask the Court to approve an

additional provision which would preclude Plaintiff from inviting Defendants’ employees to

become plaintiffs in this class action against Defendants. The Court sees no justification

whatever in such a provision and finds it would violate both the letter and the spirit of the

laws governing class actions.

Accordingly, the parties are hereby ordered to resubmit the proposed order (Docket

# 50), after excising sections 5.1(a) and 5.1(b).
