` Defendant.
`
`
`No. 6:21-cv-504
`
`
`ORDER
`
`Magistrate Judge Derek T. Gilliland previously entered an Order on September 26, 2022
`
`Discovery Dispute Hearing, ECF No. 128, which denied Defendants’ request for Plaintiff to
`
`supplement its response to Defendants’ Interrogatory No. 1, granted Defendants’ request regarding
`
`Plaintiff’s source code and copyright registrations, granted Plaintiff’s request to compel inspection
`
`of Defendants’ source code, denied without prejudice Plaintiff’s request to inspect Defendants’
`
`entire code base, and denied Defendants’ request for a protective order. Defendants filed Objections
`
`to that Order. ECF No. 159. Specifically, Defendants’ object to the Magistrate Judge’s denial of (1)
`
`Defendants’ request that Plaintiff supplement its response to Interrogatory No. 1 and (2)
`
`Defendants’ motion for a protective order. Id. Plaintiff filed a response to Defendants’ objections.
`
`ECF No. 165. Defendants filed a reply in support of their objections. ECF Nos. 167.
`
`After consideration of the Magistrate Judge’s Order, Defendants’ Objections to the Order,
`
`Plaintiff’s response, and Defendants’ reply, the Court concludes that the Objections are without
`
`sufficient merit. For that reason and other reasons stated within the Order, the Court agrees with the
`
`conclusion reached within the Order. The Court therefore OVERRULES Defendants’ Objections,
`
`

`
