O R D E R

                        Ford Motor Company has filed a motion to continue an agreed protective order entered by the Motor Vehicle Board’s hearings examiner on May 3, 1995. The order states that the parties jointly request entry of the order “to preserve the confidentiality of certain commercially sensitive, confidential or proprietary documents and testimony produced in the course of discovery in this proceeding.” Ford certified that the remaining parties do not oppose this motion to have the terms of that agreed protective order continue to apply during this appeal. No party has filed opposition to this motion.

                        We grant the motion. The terms of the agreed protective order entered by the Board on May 3, 1995, will remain in effect during this appeal. A copy of that order is attached as an appendix to this order.

                        It is ordered November 18, 2005.
