United States District Court

Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

EMIL LAWRENCE,

Plaintiff,

v.

CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN 

FRANCISCO, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 14-cv-00820-MEJ 

ORDER RE: ADMINISTRATIVE 

MOTION TO MODIFY PROTECTIVE 

ORDER

Re: Dkt. No. 57

On November 24, 2014, the Court entered a Stipulated Protective Order in this case, while 

Plaintiff Emil Lawrence represented himself pro se. Dkt. No. 26. On July 31, 2015, the Court 

appointed pro bono counsel for Plaintiff, who now moves for administrative relief to modify the 

protective order and enter one based on this District’s model protective order. Dkt. No. 57. 

Having reviewed Plaintiff’s motion, the Court finds good cause likely exists to enter a revised 

protective order. Accordingly, rather than having this matter fully briefed, the Court ORDERS the 

parties to meet and confer in person to determine whether they can agree on a revised protective 

order, preferably based on this District’s model. If the parties are unable to agree, they shall file a 

joint letter in compliance with the undersigned’s Discovery Standing Order. Accordingly, 

Plaintiff’s motion is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: August 28, 2015
