                       CONCURRING AND DISSENTING OPINION

SENIOR JUDGE FRIEDMAN                                           DECIDED: June 14, 2016


              I join in parts I, II, and III of the majority opinion. I respectfully dissent from

part IV of the majority and join the dissenting opinion of Judge Colins.



              I write separately only to emphasize that based on the parties’ protracted

adversarial history, Appellant’s fears are real and not speculative. From the evidence

presented, I would conclude that because the harm alleged is more likely than not to

occur, Appellant has established good cause, thus warranting the limited protective order

requested.
