NOTE: This order is nonprecedential

United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit

ARTHUR RAKOWITZ, Plaintiff-Appellant,

V.

UNITED STATES, Defendant-Appellee.

2012-5038 ~

Appeal from the United States Court of Federal Claims in case n0. 11-CV-391, Judge Christine O.C. Miller.

ON MOTION

ORDER

Arthur Rakowitz submits a "motion for leave to file protective order.” The United States opposes.

The United States Court of Federal Claims issued a protective order in this matter on Septernber 20, 2011. Ordinarily, this court’s review is limited to the record before the Court of Federal Claims. See Fed. R. App. P.

RAKOWITZ V. US 2

10(a). If any materials filed below were subject to the Court of Federal Claim’s protective order, this court’s rules provide that parties must file both a confidential and non-confidential set of briefs and appendices, which are not made available to the public. See Fed. Cir. R. 28(d) and 30(h). To the extent that Rakowitz argues that an additional protective order is required, that motion is denied.

Accordingly, IT Is ORDERED THAT:

The motion is denied.
