IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

WESTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

TEXARKANA DIVISION

JOE LOUIS DANSBY PETITIONER

V. CIVIL NO. 02-CV-4141

WENDY KELLEY, Director of

Arkansas Department of Corrections RESPONDENT

ORDER

Attorneys for the Petitioner have filed a Motion to Reconsider(ECF No. 289) the Order (ECF

No. 288) denying Petitioner’s Motion to Expand Protective Order (ECF No. 282) and the

Respondent has responded to the motion (ECF No. 291). 

The Court, having considered the motion, finds that it should be, and hereby is, DENIED. 

Not only does the Court find no good cause for expanding the protective order, the Court agrees

that, under the circumstances, the more appropriate procedure to modify the protective order would

be a motion by the actual counsel for Ward and/or Nooner following a motion to intervene in the

Dansby case. See Flynt v. Lombardi, 782 F.3d 963, 967 (8th Cir. 2015)(“permissive intervention

under Rule 24(b) is an appropriate procedural vehicle for non-parties seeking access to judicial

records in civil cases”). 

IT IS SO ORDERED this 27 day of October, 2015 th
