Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit
Decided January 9, 1981No. 80-1603PublishedCited by 136 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
WISDOM, Senior Circuit Judge.
The State of New York, intervenor in the present action, appeals the denial of its motion to modify a protective order that governs the plaintiffs’ use of materials discovered from the defendants in this action. We hold that New York, as a bona fide litigant, has a right to use those materials already discovered by the plaintiffs in this action that are both relevant to New York’s suit and not otherwise privileged, under the same restrictions as the plaintiffs. We therefore vacate and remand.
