United States District Court

Northern District of California

The motion for a protective order is granted. It is obvious that these cases will require the 

exchange of material whose contents must be kept confidential. Indeed, the plaintiffs have already 

sought discovery of the contents of the personnel files of United employees. The defendants are 

directed to submit proposed orders in each of the coordinated cases based on the Northern District 

of California's model protective order, with the only change being the addition of the "attorneys' 

eyes only" designation they've proposed. The parties are ordered to meet and confer about 

categories of documents and other discovery materials that may be shared between cases and 

submit a stipulation by August 27. The plaintiffs may file a supplemental brief, not to exceed 5 

pages, in response to the court's order to show cause by August 20. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: August 14, 2015
