Syllabus
Motion to compel grant deny final appealable order protective order electronically stored information. The trial court did not abuse its discretion in granting appellee's motion to compel the production of appellants' software and database. Appellants argue the software and database are not protected under the protective order because they are not \documents.\ However, under the terms of the protective order in place, the definition of documents encompasses the electronically stored information. Further, the trial court's journal entry denying appellants' motion to compel the deposition of appellee's IT director was not a final appealable order. Accordingly, we are without jurisdiction to rule on appellants' second assignment of error. Appeal is affirmed in part, dismissed in part, and remanded to the trial court for proceedings consistent with this opinion.
