MINUTE ORDER ON AUGUST 1, 2025, TELEPHONIC STATUS CONFERENCE - The parties appeared by counsel for a telephonic status conference. Discussion held regarding a discovery dispute. The parties dispute whether Defendants may utilize information covered by a protective order [Filing No. 32 ] to intervene in a separate action. Based upon the parties' brief submissions andthe limited argument at the August 1, 2025, status conference, the Court finds that the protective order [Filing No. 32 ] bars the use of protected information exchanged in discovery in any other action, including L.A.'s state court case. However, if Defendants wish to file a formal motion to modify the protective order to create a more robust record and perhaps more comprehensive briefing, they have leave to do so until August 15, 2025. Nevertheless, the Court does not anticipate that a formal motion and additional briefing will result in a different outcome. ***SEE ORDER*** Signed by Magistrate Judge Tim A. Baker.
