Magistrate Judge Hanna grants unopposed protective order motion

Magistrate Judge Ronald L. Hanna granted the defendants’ motion for a protective order on July 2, 2025. Defendants Broyles, Fitz, and Treanor filed the motion, which went unopposed.

The court approved the protective order as submitted with the motion and ordered it entered immediately following the text order. The case remains active, but the docket and court details have not been publicly disclosed.

The protective order likely limits the scope of discovery or restricts the use of sensitive information, but the specifics have not been made available. No judge has been assigned to oversee the case beyond the magistrate’s involvement.

The next significant development will depend on further filings or motions, as the case appears to be in an early procedural stage. The defendants’ unopposed motion suggests the plaintiffs have not challenged the protective order, which may streamline discovery or other pretrial processes.

Watch for any subsequent motions or orders that clarify the case’s subject matter or identify the presiding district judge.
