(“Plaintiff” or “Gibson”), and its officers, directors, 14 employees, affiliates, parents, subsidiaries, agents, and representatives, and John Hornby 15 16 17 18 Skewes and Co., Ltd and their officers, directors, employees, affiliates, parents, subsidiaries, agents, and representatives (“Defendants” or “JHS”) (collectively referred to as the “Parties”), anticipate that the discovery process in this case will involve documents 19 20 and other information containing personal financial, medical, or credit related 21 information or trade secrets or other confidential research, development, or personal or 22 23 24 commercial information that may be subject to protection pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(c). 25 26 27 28 2 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 1 2 Accordingly, the Parties stipulate to the following Stipulation Governing the Designation and Handling of Confidential Documents and Information and request that 3 4 5 the Court enter this Stipulation as an Order of the Court (“Stipulated Protective Order”). IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED THAT: 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 1. A party or third party may designate any document, data compilation, transcript, thing or information, including without limitation, written discovery responses (collectively “Material”), in whole or in part, as “Confidential” or “Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only” under the terms of this Order, if counsel for such party in good faith believes that such Material contains or reveals information falling within the 13 14 categories described below corresponding to such designations and could cause 15 substantial harm to the Producing Party (herein defined as a person who produces 16 17 18 19 Material in connection with this case) if disclosed to persons other than those designated in paragraphs 8 and 9 below. (a) the designation “Confidential” may be used for any non-public 20 21 confidential, proprietary, personally sensitive, commercially-sensitive, or 22 trade secret information; and 23 24 25 26 27 28 (b) the designation “Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only” shall be reserved for especially sensitive or confidential materials – such as mailing addresses, account numbers, account information, borrower-specific information, including private consumer information that contains 3 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 1 2 identifying, contract or private financial information provided by a consumer to a financial institution, resulting from any transaction with the consumer or 3 4 any service performed for the consumer, or otherwise obtained by the 5 financial institution, including any list, description, or other grouping of 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 consumers (and publicly available information pertaining to them) that is derived using any nonpublic personal information, including any “nonpublic personal information” such as identified by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, 15 U.S.C. § 6801 et seq; and d); computer programs, databases and source code; business financial information; personal financial related information; 13 14 personal credit or credit score related information; medical and health care 15 related information; marketing strategies; marketing expenditures; client 16 17 18 19 lists; business forecasts; business plans and strategies and research regarding marketing and consumer behavior; and any other information the Producing Party can demonstrate is sufficiently sensitive that disclosure would reveal 20 21 business, competitive, proprietary, personal, or financial information of the 22 Producing Party. 23 24 25 26 27 28 Such designation shall be made, where practical, by marking each page of a document, each separate part or component of a thing, or each separate item of other information in a conspicuous manner. If it is not practical to so mark the Material itself, a container for or a tag attached to the Material shall be so marked. The marking shall 4 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 1 2 state: “CONFIDENTIAL” or “CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” or a substantially similar legend (hereinafter “CONFIDENTIAL” or “CONFIDENTIAL – 3 4 ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” as applicable). Nothing in this paragraph shall be 5 construed as an express or implied agreement by the non-producing party that Material 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 designated as “Confidential” or “Confidential-Attorneys Eyes Only” is confidential. However, Material so designated shall be treated in accordance with its designation, unless the non-producing party challenges the designation under Paragraph 7 below. 2. In lieu of marking the original of a document or the original of other Material CONFIDENTIAL or CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY prior to 13 14 inspection, the producing party or its counsel may orally designate any document or other 15 material being produced for inspection by counsel for a party as CONFIDENTIAL or 16 17 18 19 CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY, thereby making it, and the information it contains, temporarily subject to this Order. However, each copy of such document or other material must be marked by the producing party as CONFIDENTIAL 20 21 or CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY as required by this Order at the 22 time it is subsequently delivered to receiving counsel in order to make the document and 23 24 25 26 27 28 copies subject to this Order; provided, however, that all documents shall be deemed CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY and temporarily subject to this Order for ten (10) days from such delivery to permit the producing party to correct any inadvertent failure to mark delivered documents. 5 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 1 2 3. Information disclosed at a deposition may be designated as CONFIDENTIAL or CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY under the 3 4 following circumstances: (a) by indicating on the record during the deposition that the 5 testimony is CONFIDENTIAL or CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY and 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 subject to the provisions of this Order, in which case the court reporter will be directed to produce a separate, confidential transcript or to indicate on the caption page of the transcript that some or all of its contents are governed by this Order and by marking such pages containing CONFIDENTIAL or CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY material as CONFIDENTIAL or CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES 13 14 ONLY; or (b) within ten (10) days following receipt of the transcript by counsel for the 15 designating party, by notifying all parties in writing of the specific pages of the transcript 16 17 18 19 that are to be treated CONFIDENTIAL or CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY thereafter. 4. Communication With Third Parties. To the extent any documents or 20 21 information or discovery response, regardless of whether identified as CONFIDENTIAL 22 or CONFIDENTIAL ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY, or otherwise subject to this Order, 23 24 25 26 27 28 contains identifying and/or contact information of, without limitation, a Party’s clients, customers, medical, mental, or other health care practitioners or entities, financial consultants, financial advisers, bankers, accountants, tax advisers, tax consultants, relatives, and family members, and/or any entity or institution related to the foregoing 6 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 1 2 (“Party Third Party” or “Party Third Parties”), notwithstanding the protections and requirements provided under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Parties, inclusive 3 4 of counsel, shall not issue or serve upon, or send to, a Party’s Third Party, a deposition or 5 document subpoena, or otherwise demand a Party’s Third Party to appear to testify, or 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 provide documents, for purposes of, or relative to, this litigation, without at least five (5) business days prior written notice to counsel of the Party before serving the Party Third Party. Notice of the Party Third Party subpoenas contemplated in this paragraph shall be effective upon receipt between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. PST. Service upon counsel of such notice by electronic mail (e-mail) shall constitute proper and sufficient service. 13 14 Notice and service of such Notice shall only be deemed proper and effective if the written 15 Notice includes a full and complete copy of the subpoena (with any attachments, 16 17 18 19 documents requests, etc.) intended to be served upon the Party Third Party. 5. The inadvertent or unintentional disclosure by the producing party of CONFIDENTIAL or CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY information, 20 21 either by way of document production or deposition testimony, regardless of whether the 22 information was so designated at the time of disclosure, shall not be deemed a waiver in 23 24 25 26 27 28 whole or in part of a party’s claim of confidentiality, either as to the specific information disclosed or as to any other information relating thereto on the same or related subject matter. Any such inadvertently or unintentionally disclosed CONFIDENTIAL or CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY information not designated as such 7 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 1 2 pursuant to paragraphs 1 through 4 shall be so designated, by giving written notice to all parties, as soon as reasonably possible after the producing party becomes aware of the 3 4 inadvertent or unintentional disclosure. Upon such notice, and receipt of substitute 5 copies bearing the appropriate confidentiality legend, the receiving party shall return said 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 documents and things and not retain copies thereof, and shall thereafter treat information contained in said documents and any summaries or notes thereof as CONFIDENTIAL or CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY, as designated by the producing party, except to the extent such information has already been publicly disclosed, such as in a court filing. 13 14 15 6. If, in connection with this litigation any Party discloses information subject to a claim of attorney-client privilege, attorney work product protection, or any other 16 17 18 19 privilege or protection provided ("Protected Information"), pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502, the disclosure of such information shall not constitute or be deemed a waiver or forfeiture of any claim of privilege or work product protection that the 20 21 producing party would otherwise be able to assert with respect to the Protected 22 Information and its subject matter. If a claim of privilege is made by a producing party 23 24 25 26 27 28 with respect to Protected Information, the receiving party shall, within five (5) business days, return or destroy all copies of the Protected Information and provide a certification of counsel that all such Protected Information has been returned or destroyed. If the receiving party believes that it has received Protected Information, the receiving party 8 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 1 2 shall notify the producing party within five (5) business days of the receipt of such information. The receiving party shall, within ten (10) business days, return or destroy all 3 4 copies of the Protected Information and provide a certification of counsel that all such 5 Protected Information has been returned or destroyed. The receiving party may request 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 that the producing party produce a privilege log with respect to Protected Information, which the producing party shall produce within ten (10) business days of any such request or in a reasonable time frame if ten (10) business days is not sufficient time under the circumstances. Any motion compelling production of Protected Information shall be filed under seal and shall not assert as a ground for its motion the fact or circumstance of 13 14 the disclosure of the Protected Information. Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the 15 right of any party to petition the Court for an in camera review of Protected Information. 16 17 18 19 7. Nothing in this Order shall be construed to prevent a party to this action at any time from opposing the designation of materials as CONFIDENTIAL or CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY. A party opposing the designation of 20 21 materials as CONFIDENTIAL or CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY 22 shall serve a written objection, including a statement of the grounds for the objection, on 23 24 25 26 27 28 the designating party. The designating party will have ten (10) days following the receipt of the objection to withdraw its CONFIDENTIAL or CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY designation. If the CONFIDENTIAL or CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY designation is not withdrawn, the 9 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 1 2 objecting party may move the Court, pursuant to the applicable requirements of Local Rules 7-19 or 37, for an order removing the CONFIDENTIAL or CONFIDENTIAL – 3 4 ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY designation. The designating party has the burden of proof 5 to establish the confidentiality of the CONFIDENTIAL or CONFIDENTIAL – 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY information. 8. “Confidential” Material – Material designated “Confidential” may only be disclosed, summarized, described, or otherwise communicated or made available in whole or in part, for the purposes set forth above, to the following persons: a. attorneys of Bates & Bates, LLP, Buche & Associates, PC and 13 14 Bienstock & Michael, LLC; 15 b. no more than three (3) employees of each of the parties (“Party 16 17 18 19 Representative”), as necessary to provide assistance in the conduct and evaluation of this Action, provided that each Party Representative shall be identified by delivering to the Producing Party the name and position of the 20 21 Party Representative in writing at least five (5) business days prior to such 22 disclosure. If, within five (5) business days following receipt of such written 23 24 25 26 27 28 identification, the Producing Party objects to such disclosure, the Party seeking disclosure must seek relief from the Court, pursuant to the applicable requirements of Local Rule 7-19 or Local Rule 37. No disclosure shall be made to that Party Representative until the Court has ruled. 10 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER c. 1 2 The employees of counsel listed in 8(a) above (including partners, associates, paralegals, secretaries, legal assistants, and clerks) actually 3 4 assisting such counsel in preparation of this case; provided, however, that 5 such employees may have access to CONFIDENTIAL material only to the 6 extent necessary to perform their duties; 7 8 d. 9 Non-party experts or consultants retained to assist counsel of record in this case, subject to compliance with paragraph 10(a) below; 10 e. 11 12 Court reporters involved in transcribing depositions or other proceedings in this litigation, provided that they agree to be subject to the 13 14 terms of this Order and provided that they are provided CONFIDENTIAL 15 information only to the extent necessary to perform the transcription; 16 f. 17 Persons who were the author of or are shown to have lawfully received a copy of the Confidential information; 18 19 g. The Court; 21 h. Court personnel involved with this case; 22 i. Witnesses bound by the confidentiality restrictions set forth herein 20 23 and 24 25 26 27 28 j. 9. Members of the jury, if any, in this case. “Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only” Material. Material designated “Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only” may be disclosed to only persons qualifying under 11 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 1 2 paragraphs 8(a), 8(c), 8(d), 8(e), 8(f), 8(g), 8(h), or 8(i). Party Representatives designated in paragraph 8(b) shall not receive access to or disclosure of CONFIDENTIAL – 3 4 ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY material, absent the written consent of the producing party 5 or order of the Court. 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 10. (a) Prior to disclosing any material designated as CONFIDENTIAL or CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY to any person described in Paragraph 8(d) and 8(f) above, a party shall provide a written identification of any such person to the opposing party, setting forth the name of the person, his or her occupation, business address, and a curriculum vitae. The parties shall be allowed to disclose materials 13 14 designated as CONFIDENTIAL or CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY to 15 such persons unless, within ten (10) days after the identification of the retained person 16 17 18 19 has been provided to the opposing party, the opposing party objects to the disclosure of materials designated as CONFIDENTIAL or CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY to the particular person. If objection to disclosure is made within the ten (10) 20 21 days, the objecting party shall, no later than five (5) days after objection, comply with 22 either Local Rule 7-19 or Local Rule 37 for purposes of seeking an order from the Court 23 24 25 26 27 28 regarding the disclosure and the objecting party’s objection thereto. If an objection is made and the objecting party proceeds pursuant to Local Rule 7-19 or Local Rule 37 to move the Court for an order prohibiting the disclosure at issue, no materials designated as CONFIDENTIAL or CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY shall be made 12 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 1 2 available to the particular person until after the Court rules that disclosure can be made. If the objecting party fails to timely proceed pursuant to Local Rule 7-19 or Local Rule 3 4 37 to move the Court for an order prohibiting the disclosure at issue, then materials 5 designated as CONFIDENTIAL or CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 may be made available to the particular person, however the parties shall nevertheless continue to treat and deem such material as CONFIDENTIAL or CONFIDENTIALATTORNEYS’-EYES-ONLY, as the case may be. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Order, discovery of experts will be governed by Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(4). 13 14 15 (b) All persons authorized by Paragraph 8(d), 8(e), or 8(f) above to have access to material designated as CONFIDENTIAL or CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ 16 17 18 19 EYES ONLY must sign an Undertaking in the form of Exhibit A attached to this Order before gaining access to such material or information. 11. Each recipient of the CONFIDENTIAL or CONFIDENTIAL – 20 21 ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY material shall maintain such material in a secure, safe area 22 and shall exercise the same standard of care with respect to the storage, custody, use and 23 24 25 26 27 dissemination of such material as is exercised by the recipient with respect to its own confidential and proprietary material. CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY material stored at the Parties is to be segregated from other produced documents, 28 13 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 1 2 password protected, and only accessible to the Party Representatives or counsel as identified in Paragraph 8(a). 3 4 5 12. Except upon consent of the designating party or upon order of the Court, any and all CONFIDENTIAL or CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY materials 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 produced, served or otherwise made available by the designating party to another party during the course of this action, together with all reproductions, copies, abstracts, indices, or summaries of those materials, shall be used only for preparation and presentation of this action and for no other purpose whatsoever. 13. Any papers filed with or presented to the Court that contain or reveal 13 14 materials designated as CONFIDENTIAL or CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES 15 ONLY shall be filed with an application to have the documents filed under seal in 16 17 18 19 accordance with the procedures outlined in the Local Rules and shall not be publicly disclosed, or shall be appropriate redacted to ensure that no CONFIDENTIAL or CONFIDENTIAL-ATTORNEYS’-EYES-ONLY information is disclosed to the public 20 21 or any third party, except upon consent of the designating party or upon further order of 22 the Court. 23 24 25 26 27 28 14. Within sixty (60) days after final determination of this action, all materials designated as CONFIDENTIAL or CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY that have been served or otherwise made available by the designating party to another party during the course of this action, together with all reproductions, copies, abstracts, 14 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 1 2 indices, summaries or any other embodiment of those materials, shall be destroyed or delivered to counsel for the designating party. Notwithstanding the above or the 3 4 Undertaking in Exhibit A, counsel designated under paragraph 8(a) above may retain one 5 copy of such material to maintain a complete file of the litigation; provided, however, 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 that all further copies of CONFIDENTIAL and CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY documents of the designating party shall be destroyed or delivered to counsel for the designating party. 15. If material or information designated CONFIDENTIAL or CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY is disclosed to any person other than 13 14 in the manner authorized by this Order, the party responsible for the disclosure must 15 immediately bring all pertinent facts relating to such disclosure to the attention of the 16 17 18 19 opposing party and the designating party, and without prejudice to the rights and remedies of the designating party, make every effort to prevent further unauthorized disclosure on its own part or on the part of the recipient of such information or material. 20 21 22 16. In the event that a Party to this Protective Order receives a discovery request, subpoena, order or other form of compulsory process from a third-party who is 23 24 25 26 27 28 not a party to this proceeding (the “Demand”), requiring that Party (the “Subpoenaed Party”) to produce documents that have been designated as “Confidential” or “For Counsel Only” (or “Attorneys’ Eyes Only”) by the other Party (the “Designating Party”), the Subpoenaed Party shall promptly notify the Designating Party of the Demand. If the 15 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 1 2 Designating Party elects to resist production of the documents, the Designating Party shall promptly notify the Subpoenaed Party. The Subpoenaed Party shall have no 3 4 obligation to assist in the protection of the documents except to delay production until the 5 dispute is resolved by the Designating Party. 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 17. Nothing in this Order shall be construed as requiring disclosure of privileged materials, materials subject to protection under the work product doctrine, or materials that are otherwise beyond the scope of permissible discovery. 18. Nothing in this Order shall be construed to prevent a party or third party from seeking such further protective provisions regarding confidentiality, as may be 13 14 15 appropriate. 19. Nothing in this Order shall be construed as a waiver by a party of any 16 17 18 19 objections that might be raised as to the admissibility at trial of any evidentiary materials. 20. Nothing in this Order shall be construed to restrict a designating party in its use of its own CONFIDENTIAL or CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY 20 21 materials. 22 21. GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT: This action is likely to involve trade 23 24 25 26 27 28 secrets, customer and pricing lists and other valuable research, development, commercial, financial, technical and/or proprietary information for which special protection from public disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecution of this action is warranted. Such confidential and proprietary materials and information consist of, among 16 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 1 2 other things, confidential business or financial information, information regarding confidential business practices, or other confidential research, development, or 3 4 commercial information (including information implicating privacy rights of third 5 parties), information otherwise generally unavailable to the public, or which may be 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure under state or federal statutes, court rules, case decisions, or common law. Accordingly, to expedite the flow of information, to facilitate the prompt resolution of disputes over confidentiality of discovery materials, to adequately protect information the parties are entitled to keep confidential, to ensure that the parties are permitted reasonable necessary uses of such material in preparation 13 14 for and in the conduct of trial, to address their handling at the end of the litigation, and 15 serve the ends of justice, a protective order for such information is justified in this matter. 16 17 18 19 It is the intent of the parties that information will not be designated as confidential for tactical reasons and that nothing be so designated without a good faith belief that it has been maintained in a confidential, non-public manner, and there is good cause why it 20 21 should not be part of the public record of this case. 22 22. This Order shall remain in effect after the final determination of this action, 23 24 25 unless otherwise ordered by the Court. // 26 27 // 28 17 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 1 IT IS SO STIPULATED. 2 3 Dated:_______________, 2015 4 BATES & BATES, LLC By:__/s/ Andrea E.
