Answer

You can file a motion for protection or an objection as you are not a party and the materials are private and "not calculated to lead to the discovery of relevant facts". However, you probably want to hire an attorney to file the objection for you because they are a little tricky to do correctly. If you don't do it correctly or don't do it at all then you will be required to provide the materials.
