RONEY, Circuit Judge:

Procter and Gamble (P & G) appeals from a discovery protective order granted by the district court under Fed.R.Civ.P. 26(c) denying it access to the names and addresses of women who gave the Center for Disease Control (Center) personal information as participants in the Center’s Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) studies. The sole issue on appeal is whether the order was within the district court’s discretion. 101 F.R.D. 355. We affirm.
