1.
Statement of Good Cause:
In the course of litigating and taking

discovery in the above-captioned action, the parties, or third parties in connection
7

(iii)
private personal, medical, or financial information, including
18
personal identifying information (such as names, addresses,
19
social security numbers and dates of birth), medical records, and
20
financial information, the disclosure of which would potentially
21
violate state and federal privacy laws, rules, and regulations,
22
including, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, 15 U.S.C. 6801, et
23
seq.;

2
party’s business that, if disclosed publically, could place the
3
party at a competitive disadvantage; and
4
(vi)
commercially sensitive and proprietary, confidential information
5
that constitutes, discusses or reflects trade secrets entitled to
6
protection under applicable state and laws and regulations.
7
Confidential Information includes the contents and all copies, excerpts, extracts,

This Protective Order, consistent with Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(c), limits the
12
copying, dissemination, and filing of Confidential Information produced or provided
13
by any party and/or their respective counsel and/or by any non-party in connection

paragraph 11 herein or otherwise disclosed in accordance with

paragraph 12 herein;

10
stenographic reporters and videographers and any necessary

24
person pursuant to paragraph 6(c), where necessary, or 6(e) or 6(f) herein, such
25
person must execute a confidentiality agreement in the form of Exhibit A attached

28
Order and will produce them to the Court for inspection upon reasonable request of
-5-
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
2:12-CV-03047 RGK (MRW)
1
a Producing Party whose Confidential Information is subject to the disclosure.
2
Counsel for the party obtaining the executed Exhibit A from an expert under
3
paragraph 6(f) must supply a copy of Exhibit A to counsel for the other party at the
4
time such expert is disclosed pursuant to Rule 26 of the Federal Rules of Civil
5
Procedure.
6
8.
Any Discovery Material that may contain Confidential Information
7
that has been inadvertently produced without being designated “Confidential” may
8
be so designated by the Producing Party by promptly notifying counsel of record
9
for the Receiving Party in writing that such Discovery Material is Confidential and
10
by promptly producing new versions of properly designated Discovery Material, if
11
necessary. Any party receiving improperly-designated documents must promptly
12
retrieve such documents from persons not qualified to receive those documents.
13
The inadvertent or unintentional production of undesignated Confidential
14
Information does not constitute a waiver of any rights, including, without
15
limitation, the Producing Party’s rights to maintain the confidentiality of such
16
Discovery Material.
17
9.
Any party may challenge the “Confidential” designation of any
18
Discovery Material in accordance with the procedures set forth in this paragraph.
19
Any such Discovery Material will be treated as Confidential until the parties agree
20
or the Court orders de-designation of the challenged Discovery Material. A party is
21
not be obligated to challenge the propriety of a Confidentiality designation at the
22
time made, and a failure to do so does not preclude a subsequent challenge thereto.
23
(a)
If any party to this Action disagrees at any stage of these proceedings
24
with the Confidentiality designation of particular Discovery Material, it (the
25
“Challenging Party”) must notify the Producing Party in writing, and counsel for
26
the Producing Party shall, in accordance with Local Rule 37-1, confer with counsel
27
for the Challenging Party within 10 days after service of such notice, and the parties
28
will try to resolve such dispute in good faith on an informal basis.
-6-
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
2:12-CV-03047 RGK (MRW)
1
(b)
If the dispute cannot be resolved, the Challenging Party may seek
2
appropriate relief from the Court by filing a motion challenging such designation in
3
accordance with Local Rule 37. If the Producing Party is a third party and not a
4
party to this Action, the Challenging Party must provide notice of its motion to that
5
Producing Party. The party opposing the challenge has the burden to demonstrate
6
that the challenged Discovery Material is properly designated as Confidential.
7
Pending the resolution of such motion by the Court and any subsequent appeal
8
therefrom, the parties agree to treat the challenged Discovery Material as
9
Confidential Information.
10
10.
Deposition testimony may be designated Confidential by an indication
11
on the record during the deposition or by written notice to all counsel of record for
12
each party in this Action of the specific pages and/or lines of testimony that
13
constitute Confidential Information within fourteen (14) days after receipt of the
14
official deposition transcript by a counsel for each party. All deposition testimony,
15
and the transcripts thereof, will be treated as Confidential Information and subject
16
to this Protective Order during the deposition and until receipt of such written
17
notice or for a period of fourteen (14) days from the receipt of the official
18
deposition transcript by a counsel for each party, whichever is shorter.
19
deposition or portion of the deposition of any witness who is expected to disclose
20
Confidential Information may only be taken in the presence of Qualified Persons.
21
11.
The
A Receiving Party who seeks to file with the Court any Discovery
22
Material designated as containing Confidential Information, and any pleading,
23
brief, or memorandum which reproduces, paraphrases, or discloses Confidential
24
Information, must follow the procedures of this Court for filing documents
25
conditionally under seal, including Local Rule 79-5, to prevent the disclosure of
26
Confidential Information to persons other than Qualified Persons. The party who
27
designated the Discovery Material as “Confidential” may file supplemental
28
-7-
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
2:12-CV-03047 RGK (MRW)
1
materials with the Court to support the Receiving Party’s application to file under
2
seal.
3
12.
Should the need arise for any party to disclose Confidential
4
Information during any hearing or trial before the Court, including through
5
argument or the presentation of evidence, such party may do so only after taking
6
such steps as the Court, upon motion of the disclosing party, deems necessary to
7
preserve the confidentiality of the Confidential Information.
8
13.
Any deposition witness who is not otherwise a Qualified Person and
9
who will be given access to Confidential Information must be provided with a copy
10
of this Protective Order prior to their deposition, and counsel must make reasonable
11
efforts to have such person execute a confidentiality agreement in the form of
12
Exhibit A attached hereto.
13
agreement from such person, counsel must immediately and prior to the deposition
14
provide notice to counsel for the other party. Counsel for the party obtaining the
15
executed Exhibit A must supply a copy to counsel for the other party.
16
Alternatively, counsel for the parties may agree that Confidential Information is
17
adequately protected by such person’s existing obligations to maintain the
18
confidentiality of such information. Nothing herein, however, prevents any counsel
19
of record from utilizing Confidential Information in the examination or cross-
20
examination of any person who is indicated on the document as being an author,
21
source, or recipient of the Confidential Information, irrespective of which party
22
produced such information.
23
14.
If unable to obtain an executed confidentiality
Subject to the provisions of this Protective Order, a party may
24
designate as Confidential Information any Discovery Material produced or
25
provided by any third party to this Action, where such information has not already
26
been designated as “Confidential” by that third party if the Discovery Material
27
constitutes Confidential Information as defined herein.

15.
This Protective Order and the procedures herein do not affect the rights
2
of the parties to object to discovery on any grounds, nor do they relieve the parties
3
of the necessity of proper response or objection to discovery requests.
4
16.
In the event that the Receiving Party is requested or required (by oral
5
questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents in a legal
6
proceeding, subpoena, civil investigative demand, other similar process, or rule of
7
law) to disclose any Confidential Information in another action or proceeding, the
8
Receiving Party must provide the Producing Party with prompt written notice of
9
any such request or requirement no later than 10 days following receipt of such
10
request or requirement and prior to the deadline for the Receiving Party to respond
11
to such request or requirement so that the Producing Party may seek a protective
12
order or other appropriate remedy or waive compliance with the provisions of this
13
Protective Order.
14
Receiving Party to seek such a protective order or other remedy. Unless the
15
Producing Party waives the protections of this Protective Order, the Receiving
16
Party will not disclose any Confidential Information except pursuant to the order of
17
a court of competent jurisdiction directing the disclosure of such Confidential
18
Information.
19
20
17.
Nothing in this Protective Order, however, obligates the
Inadvertent Disclosure of Privileged Material.
(a)
Inadvertent Disclosure
21
Consistent with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(5)(B) and Federal
22
Rule of Evidence 502, in the event a Producing Party inadvertently discloses
23
Discovery Material subject to the attorney-client privilege, attorney work product
24
doctrine, or other applicable privilege or immunity (“Privileged Material”), such
25
inadvertent disclosure will not constitute or be deemed a waiver or forfeiture of any
26
claim of privilege or work-product protection that the Producing Party would
27
otherwise be entitled to assert with respect to the inadvertently disclosed
28
information and its subject matter, provided the Producing Party took reasonable
-9-
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
2:12-CV-03047 RGK (MRW)
1
steps to prevent disclosure and also took reasonable steps to rectify the error. The
2
Producing Party will be deemed to have taken reasonable steps to rectify the error
3
if, within ten (10) calendar days from the date that the inadvertent disclosure was
4
discovered or brought to the attention of the Producing Party, the Producing Party
5
informs the Receiving Party, through its counsel, in writing that privileged
6
information was disclosed, and instructs the Receiving Party to promptly return,
7
destroy, delete, render inaccessible, or disable all copies of the Privileged Material.
8
(b)
Post-Disclosure Actions
9
The Receiving Party and its counsel must return, destroy, delete, render
10
inaccessible, and/or disable all copies of the Privileged Material and all altered or
11
unaltered hard and electronic copies of the Privileged Material in the Receiving
12
Party’s and its counsel’s possession within seven (7) calendar days of receipt of the
13
Producing Party’s written notice. The Receiving Party must promptly certify that
14
the Privileged Material was returned, destroyed, deleted, rendered inaccessible, or
15
disabled and must describe when and how it responded to the Producing Party’s
16
notice. The Receiving Party will not be required to return or destroy any CD-ROM
17
or other form of electronic production containing both inadvertently disclosed
18
Privileged Material and non-privileged Discovery Material unless and until the
19
Producing Party has provided a CD-ROM or other form of electronic production
20
containing all such non-privileged Discovery Material.
21
(c)
Discovery of Privileged Material by a Receiving Party
22
If a Receiving Party discovers Privileged Material, the Receiving Party must
23
notify the Producing Party within seven (7) calendar days of its discovery,
24
regardless of whether the Receiving Party intends to challenge assertion of the
25
privilege.
26
Privileged Material that was disclosed or distributed and prevent any further
27
dissemination of the Privileged Material. The Receiving Party must also inform the

2:12-CV-03047 RGK (MRW)
1
Producing Party, in writing, of all pertinent facts relating to any such disclosures or
2
distributions.
3
(d)
Challenging a Privilege Designation
4
If the Receiving Party opposes the asserted claim of privilege or work-
5
product protection, the Receiving Party must, no later than ten (10) calendar days
6
after returning or destroying the Privileged Material as outlined above, send a Local
7
Rule 37-1 letter requesting a discovery conference. If the parties cannot agree on a
8
resolution the Receiving Party must promptly serve its portion of a joint stipulation,
9
as contemplated by Local Rule 37-2, on the Producing Party. The Receiving Party
10
must not use or disclose the Privileged Material until the claim is resolved. Upon a
11
determination by the Court that the specified information is not protected by the
12
applicable privilege, the Producing Party bears the costs of replacing the Discovery
13
Material into any programs or databases from which it was removed or destroyed.
14
The Producing Party must preserve the Privileged Material until the claim is
15
resolved.
16
(e)
Notice
17
Notice required in the above subparagraphs must be in writing and must be
18
served on all counsel of record unless oral notice is delivered at a deposition. If the
19
notice is delivered orally a deposition, the notifying party must follow up with a
20
written notice within five (5) business days. All requests and notifications must be
21
specific enough to identify and locate the Privileged Material.
22
18.
In the event anyone violates or threatens to violate any term of this
23
Protective Order, the aggrieved party may immediately apply to the Court to obtain
24
relief, including, without limitation, injunctive relief against such person. The
25
existence, if any, of an adequate remedy at law will not preclude the applying party
26
from obtaining such relief.
27
28
19.
This Protective Order will continue to be binding after the conclusion
of this Action, including appeals or the exhaustion of all rights of appeal except (a)
- 11 -
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
2:12-CV-03047 RGK (MRW)
1
that there will be no restriction on Discovery Material that is used as exhibits in
2

3
written permission of the Producing Party or further order of the Court with respect
4
to dissolution or modification of any provision of the Protective Order. The Court
5
expressly retains jurisdiction over this Action for enforcement of the provisions of
6
this Protective Order following the final resolution of the Action.
7
20.
Nothing herein, and no action taken in accordance with this Protective
8
Order, is to be construed as a waiver of any claim or defense in this Action or of
9
any position as to confidentiality or privilege recognized by law, nor is it an
10
admission about the admissibility in evidence of any facts or documents revealed in
11
connection with this Action.
12
21.
Within sixty (60) days after entry of an order, judgment, or decree
13
finally disposing of this Action, including any appeals or the exhaustion of all rights
14
of appeal, all Confidential Information and all reproductions thereof, must be

16
Party.

18
termination of this Action, including any appeals or the exhaustion of all rights of
19
appeal, that it has undertaken its best efforts to destroy such physical objects and
20
documents, and that such physical objects and documents have been destroyed to
21
the best of its knowledge. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, counsel of
22
record for each party may retain all pleadings, motion papers, discovery responses,
23
deposition
24
correspondence, work product and attorney-client communications that include or
25
are derived from Confidential Information, provided any Confidential Information
26
contained therein remains protected pursuant to the terms of this Protective Order.

This Protective Order should not be interpreted in a manner that would violate any
28
applicable canons of ethics or codes of professional responsibility. Nothing in this
