ORDER; ORDER SETTING FURTHER

BRIEFING SCHEDULE

[Docket Nos. 849, 856]

On January 20, 2010, plaintiffs Christine Smith, Ashley Henderson, Lois Artz and Jana

Sperling in an unrelated action, entitled Christine Smith, et al. v. Levine Leichtman Partners, Inc., et

al., Case No. 10-0010 JSW (N.D. Cal.), moved to intervene and to modify the January 3, 2007

stipulated protective order in the above-captioned action. See Plaintiffs’ Motion to Intervene and to

Modify the January 3, 2007 Stipulated Protective Order. (Docket No. 786).

On January 22, 2010, plaintiffs Elena del Campo, Ashorina Medina and Lisa Johnston’s

administrative motion to relate the two cases was denied. See Order Denying Administrative

Motion to Relate Cases dated January 22, 2010. (“January 22, 2010 Order”). (Docket No. 793). In

footnote 1 of the January 22, 2010 Order, the court noted that the parties had filed various other

among the various other motions deemed moot. January 22, 2010 Order at 1. 

On March 5, 2010, plaintiffs’ motion to intervene and to modify the January 3, 2007

stipulated protective order was granted. See Order Granting Motion of Plaintiffs’ in Unrelated Case

to Intervene and to Modify the January 3, 2007 Stipulated Protective Order dated March 5, 2010. 

(“March 5, 2010 Order”). (Docket No. 846).

On March 8, 2010, non-party National Corrective Group, Inc. (“NCG”) filed a notice of

discrepancy between the court’s rulings on intervenors’ motion to intervene and to modify the

January 3, 2007 stipulated protective order. See Docket No. 849. Specifically, non-party NCG

sought clarification as to whether the March 5, 2010 Order is void ab initio in light of the prior

January 22, 2010 Order. Alternatively, non-party NCG requested the opportunity to oppose

plaintiffs’ motion to intervene and to modify the January 3, 2007 stipulated protective order. 

Additionally, plaintiffs (in the above-captioned action) Elena del Campo, Ashorina Medina and Lisa

Johnston and plaintiffs Christine Smith, Ashley Henderson, Lois Artz and Jana Sperling (in the

unrelated action) moved the court to correct the clerical error in the January 22, 2010 Order that had

ruled that plaintiffs’ motion to intervene and to modify the January 3, 2007 stipulated protective

order was moot. See Docket no. 856.

Based on a referral of this matter by the district court and having reviewed the papers,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that docket no. 786 is not moot. Based on the inconsistent

rulings, non-party NCG shall have an opportunity to oppose plaintiffs’ motion to intervene and to

modify the January 3, 2007 stipulated protective order. Accordingly, the March 5, 2010 Order is

vacated. 

Non-party NCG may file its opposition no later than April 2, 2010. Plaintiffs may file their

reply, if any, no later than April 16, 2010. Pursuant to Civ. L.R. 7-1(b), the motion is taken under

submission.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 15, 2010
