On August 14, 2009, Plaintiffs filed their Reply Memorandum in Support of Motion for Protective Order (DE 266), and attached and cited newly filed declarations for which Defendant does not have an opportunity to respond to under the rules. Therefore, the declarations delineated below are outside the scope of Plaintiffs' initial Motion for Protective Order and the Defendants' Response in Opposition. Moreover, the declarations are untimely. 4. In particular, Plaintiffs attach to or cite in their Reply the declaration of Jane Doe 4 (dated August 14, 2009 - a newly filed declaration - DE 267-2), the declaration of Jane Doe 6 (a declaration not attached to the Reply or linked to any other motion by docket entry citation), the declaration of Jane Doe 7 (a declaration not attached to the Reply and referenced as a new August 14, 2009 declaration) and the declaration of Jane Doe 4's sister (Y.B.'s newly filed declaration dated August 18, 2009 - DE 267-3). 5. Based upon the foregoing, the Defendant does not have an opportunity to respond to the newly filed declarations or those declarations cited in the Reply but not attached or linked to any other motion. To the extent Plaintiffs" intention was to link the missing declarations to another motion, response or reply previously filed by Plaintiffs, same has not been specified in their Reply. 6. Note, Defendant is not moving to strike the declaration of Jane Doe 4 dated July 17, 2009 because that declaration is attached to Plaintiffs' initial motion.
