`ORDER
`
`Before the Court is Defendants Alcatel-Lucent USA Inc., Alcatel-Lucent Holdings, Inc.,
`
`ALE USA Inc., and AMX, LLC’s Emergency Motion to Compel the Production of Plaintiffs’
`
`California Damages Expert Report. (Doc. No. 159.) Plaintiffs Chrimar Systems, Inc. and
`
`Chrimar Holding Company, LLC (“Chrimar”) have filed a response in opposition (Doc. No.
`
`164), and Defendants have filed a reply (Doc. No. 173). Upon consideration, Defendants’
`
`motion (Doc. No. 159) is DENIED.
`
`Defendants seek production of the damages expert report of Plaintiffs’ damages expert,
`
`Robert Mills, that was created for a litigation currently pending in the Northern District of
`
`California (N.D. Cal. 4:13-cv-1300). That report is indisputably subject to a protective order
`
`issued by the California court in that case. Because this document is subject to a protective order
`
`issued by the court in California, the appropriate means to obtain the relief sought is to seek the
`
`assistance of the California court. For example, Defendants may issue a subpoena for the
`
`document they seek that would properly allow the California court to determine its
`
`enforceability. This Court is not in the position to interpret another court’s protective order or to
`
`order the production of a document that contains confidential information subject to such an
`
`order.
