MINUTE ORDER, by Judge Richard A Jones. The parties have submitted a Stipulated Protective Order for the court's consideration (Dkt. # 21 ).The court will take no action on the document the parties submitted. Paragraph 2 of the model stipulated protective order adopted by this District requires the parties to set forth with specificity the confidential material that shall be subject to the protective order. The court finds the fourth bullet point of Paragraph 2 of the parties' submission to be too broad and vague to provide sufficient specificity as to the materials to be protected. This order is without prejudice to a new submission that corrects the deficiency noted above. (VE) (Entered: 09/11/2013)

ORDER of USCA (14-35108) as to 57 Notice of Appeal, filed by Cambia Health Solutions, Inc., Regence BlueShield;The appeal filed February 13, 2014 is a preliminary injunction appeal. The mediation questionnaire is due three days after the date of this order. The courts records reflect that the notice of appeal was filed during the pendency of a timely filed motion listed in Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 4(a)(4). The notice of appeal is therefore ineffective until entry of the order disposing of the last such motion outstanding. See Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(4). Accordingly, appellate proceedings other than mediation shall be held in abeyance pending the district courts resolution of the pending motion. SEE ORDER FOR FURTHER INFORMATION.
