Heraeus Kulzer, GmbH v. Biomet, Inc., et al., and Esschem, Inc.
17-1674
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Indiana, South Bend Division. Judge Robert L. Miller, Jr.
Civil. Affirms the denial of Heraeus Kulzer’s three motions to modify the district court’s protective orders in his case against Biomet, Inc. Finds the 7th Circuit lacks jurisdiction to review the first two orders because Heraeus Kulzer failed to timely appeal those orders. Also finds the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Haraeus Kulzer’s request to impose restrictions on Biomet’s internal use of the documents it produced subject to the third protective order.
