Defendants 520 Live, Inc., 3200 Fillmore Street, LLC, Goth, Inc., Fillmore Entertainment Group, LLC And Lily Nguyen's unopposed Motion For Entry Of Stipulated Protective Order is GRANTED.

Defendants move under Code of Civil Procedure section 2031.060(b)(5). Subdivision (a) of section 2031.060 provides as follows: "When an inspection, copying, testing, or sampling of documents, tangible things, places, or electronically stored information has been demanded, the party to whom the demand has been directed, and any other party or affected person, may promptly move for a protective order. This motion shall be accompanied by a meet and confer declaration under Section 2016.040."

Subdivision (b)(5) of the section provides, "The court, for good cause shown, may make any order that justice requires to protect any party or other person from unwarranted annoyance, embarrassment, or oppression, or undue burden and expense. This protective order may include, but is not limited to, one or more of the following directions: ... That a trade secret or other confidential research, development, or commercial information not be disclosed, or be disclosed only to specified persons or only in a specified way."

Defendants' request does not fit neatly within subdivision (b)(5), but the requested relief is authorized by the section. Good cause appearing, the court will sign the order that is Exhibit "A" to Defendant's Memorandum of Points and Authorities.

No later than 8:30 am on September 9, 2025, Moving Party must submit; (1) a proposed order providing the motion is granted that verbatim quotes the above and, separately; (2) a copy of the stipulation and order for execution by the court.

The court no longer provides a court reporter in the Law & Motion Department. Parties may retain their own reporter, who may appear in the courtroom or remotely. A retained reporter must be a California certified court reporter (CSR), for only a CSR's transcript may be used in California courts.
