CASE No.: 91-ERA-39
IN THE MATTER OF
YVONNE HENDERSON,
Complainant,
v.
APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL CONTROL (ARC),
Respondent
PROTECTIVE ORDER
In this whistle-blower proceeding under the
Employee Protection Provisions of the Energy Reorganization Act
of 1974, 42 U.S.C. 5851, Respondent moves for a protective order
against specified interrogation and/or requests for production of
documents served on behalf of Complaintant. It is noted that the
motion is made in conformity with my order issued December 3,
1991 herein, but Complainant's opposition thereto is of
questionable timeliness since it appears that it was not filed in
this Office within ten days after the motion papers were served.
Rather than inviting further delay by reason of a disposition on
default, however, the objections will not be considered without
reference to Complainant's belated opposition.
Time will not permit in depth analysis of each
item in controversy on the eve of trial. The tent applied to each
WAS whether it was duplicative or irrelevant or not sought in
good faith. The motion is granted to the extent indicated below
and is otherwise denied.
ORDER
It is hereby directed that the following items
are stricken and need not be answered by Respondents
It is further directed that in interrogatory
No. 68 the words "and/or any other employer. are stricken;
and that in interrogatory No. 7 the words "in connection
with the routine performance of her assigned tasks" and sub-item. b, c and d thereof are stricken. Interrogatory No. 33 and
No. 78 are withdrawn. Responses are to be made forthwith.
