IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF UTAH, CENTRAL DIVISION ARLIN GEOPHYSICAL COMPANY & LAURA OLSON, Memorandum Decision and Order Finding as Moot Plaintiff's Motion for Protective Order Plaintiffs, v. Case No. 2:08-cv-414 TS UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Defendant. District Judge Ted Stewart Magistrate Judge Brooke Wells Before the court is Plaintiff Laura Olson s Motion for Protective Order. Ms. Olson seeks an order from this court prohibiting the Government from taking her deposition. In response the Government notes that it has cancelled Ms. Olson s deposition so the motion is technically moot. 1 The Government, however, intends to re-set Ms. Olson s deposition for a later date and therefore urges this court to address Ms. Olson s motion. Article III of the United States Constitution limits federal court jurisdiction to actual cases or controversies. 2 The court therefore declines to rule on Ms. Olson s motion because there is no actual controversy at this time. Accordingly, Ms. Olson s Motion for Protective Order is deemed MOOT. DATED this 29 September 2011. Brooke C. Wells United States Magistrate Judge 1 Op. p. 3. 2 U.S. Const. art. III, ยง 2, cl. 1.
