approval of protective agreements intended to limit access to and use of materials gained in
discovery. Protective agreements or orders that address the filing of documents with the court

as the court directs, before any document is filed under seal. Discovery materials protected by a
court order issued pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(C) shall not be filed without compliance with
Local Civ. Rule 5.03 (D.S.C.) unless the order provides other procedures to satisfy the
requirements of governing case law. See Local Civ. Rule 5.03 (D.S.C.).
