i'll try to get some time to go into pacer to look at the supporting documents. My guess it's more for confidentiality, than "protection"

Protective orders are pretty common in civil litigation.   The FRCP gives parties the ability to seek discovery on anything that could lead to relevant information.   However, courts are also willing to grant reasonable orders to protect a wide range of things from trade secrets to personal identifying information, such as social security number or bank account numbers that might appear on discoverable documents. It could be a hundred different things.

It also looks like the parties/attorneys are playing nice.  The Defendant stipulated to the request.  Smart.

Shucks!  I was hoping the protective order meant the defendant sent some boys over to the photog's house and give him an offer he couldn't refuse to drop the lawsuit. :)
