Protective Orders and Agreements. There is no requirement for prior judicial

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 shall, however, require compliance with Local Civ. Rule 5.03 (D.S.C.), or such other procedures 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.).
