Plaintiffs,

 v.

SODEXHO MARRIOTT, ET AL., 

Defendants.

 /

NO. 5:02-cv-3894 RS

ORDER DENYING

DEFENDANT'S MOTION FOR

PROTECTIVE ORDER

Defendant Sodexho, Inc. ("Sodexho") moves for a protective order to block the request of crossdefendant Hamilton Beach/Procter-Silex, Inc. ("Hamilton Beach") that Sodexho produce for expert

examination a toaster involved in this product liability action. As Sodexho has not made the requisite

showing of good cause, the motion is denied. Sodexho will permit Hamilton Beach's expert to test the

toaster at Exponent's facilities in Menlo Park, California. The parties will meet and confer to agree on an

appropriate testing protocol, and their experts and counsel will be permitted to observe the non-destructive

testing.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
