PROTECTIVE ORDER RE 

LIST OF CLASS MEMBERS

The Court has (thus far) received three letters from potential class members objecting to

the disclosure of their names and contact information to plaintiffs’ counsel. The list of persons

to whom the class notice was mailed has been redacted so the identities and contact information

for these three individuals is not revealed. The Clerk shall file this redacted list of class

members under seal and provide each side with a copy.

This list of potential class members contains confidential information for attorneys’ eyes

only. As such, it shall be used by counsel solely for the purposes of the above-captioned

litigation and shall not be disclosed to or discussed with any person except: (1) counsel;

(2) necessary support personnel of counsel; (3) independent experts who are hired by counsel

and necessary support personnel for such persons; (4) a certified court reporter taking testimony

involving this confidential information. This list of class members and any notes regarding this

list shall be maintained in the custody and control of counsel in a manner that limits access to

the persons listed above. The Court will retain jurisdiction over disputes arising from any

alleged violations of this order for only 45 days after final termination of this action.

As previously observed, some of the class notices initially mailed by defendants’

counsel were returned as undeliverable. Counsel was able to find alternate addresses for (and

re-send the notice to) some of these individuals. If any recipient from the second round of

mailings objects to the disclosure of their confidential information after the date of this order,

plaintiffs’ counsel will be notified and ordered to refrain from contacting that individual or

otherwise using that individual’s data.

If the parties wish to set forth more elaborate conditions to further restrict the access to

or use of confidential information in this action, they shall meet and confer before submitting a

proposed protective order for the Court’s review.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
