ORDER
Complaint Filed: April 13, 2015

A.

PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS

Discovery in this action is likely to involve production of confidential,

3

proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public

4

disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may be

5

warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to enter

6

the following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this Order

7

does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to discovery and

8

that the protection it affords from public disclosure and use extends only to the

9

limited information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment under the

10

applicable legal principles. The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in

11

Section 12.3, below, that this Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file

12

confidential information under seal; Civil Local Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures

13

that must be followed and the standards that will be applied when a party seeks

14

permission from the court to file material under seal.

15

B.

GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT

16

This action is likely to involve medical and/or other private/personal

17

information of plaintiff Bryan Parent (“Plaintiff”) and/or other relevant parties, and

18

trade secrets and other valuable research, development, commercial, financial,

19

technical and/or proprietary information of defendant Bank of America, N.A.

20

(“Defendant”) and/or other relevant parties for which special protection from public

21

disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecution of this action is

22

warranted. Such confidential and proprietary materials and information consist of,

23

among other things, confidential medical information, business or financial

24

information, information regarding confidential business practices, or other

25

confidential research, development, or commercial information (including

26

information implicating privacy rights of third parties), information otherwise

27

generally unavailable to the public, or which may be privileged or otherwise

28

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

2

prompt resolution of disputes over confidentiality of discovery materials, to

3

adequately protect information the parties are entitled to keep confidential, to ensure

4

that the parties are permitted reasonable necessary uses of such material in

5

preparation for and in the conduct of trial, to address their handling at the end of the

6

litigation, and serve the ends of justice, a protective order for such information is

7

justified in this matter. It is the intent of the parties that information will not be

8

designated as confidential for tactical reasons and that nothing be so designated

9

without a good faith belief that it has been maintained in a confidential, non-public

10

manner, and there is good cause why it should not be part of the public record of this

11

case.

4

extracted from Protected Material; (2) all copies, excerpts, summaries, or

DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL

19

5.1

Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection.

20

Each Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection

21

under this Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that

22

qualifies under the appropriate standards. The Designating Party must designate for

23

protection only those parts of material, documents, items, or oral or written

24

communications that qualify so that other portions of the material, documents, items,

25

or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept unjustifiably

26

within the ambit of this Order.

27
28

Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations
that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper

1

purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the case development process or to impose

2

unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Designating

3

Party to sanctions.

4

If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it

5

designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must

6

promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the inapplicable designation.

7

5.2

Manner and Timing of Designations.

8

Except as otherwise provided in this Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of

9

section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery

10

Material that qualifies for protection under this Order must be clearly so designated

11

before the material is disclosed or produced.

12

Designation in conformity with this Order requires:

13

(a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic documents,

14

but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that the

15

Producing Party affix at a minimum, the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” (hereinafter

16

“CONFIDENTIAL legend”), to each page that contains protected material. If only a

17

portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing

18

Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate

19

markings in the margins).

20

A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents available for inspection

21

need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated

22

which documents it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and

23

before the designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be

24

deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has identified the documents

25

it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine which documents,

26

or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order. Then, before producing

27

the specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the “CONFIDENTIAL

28

legend” to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a portion or portions

1

of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must

2

clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the

3

margins).

4

If a document containing “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items is

5

produced by someone other than the Party seeking to designate the document as

6

confidential, the Party seeking to designate the document as confidential shall, within

7

thirty (30) days, notify the other parties to the action in writing that it considers the

8

document to contain “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items and the adverse

9

parties receiving the document shall treat is as confidential, and take steps they deem

10

reasonably necessary to ensure that others who have received the document treat it as

11

confidential, in accordance with the terms of this Protective Order. A party may

12

designate, within thirty (30) days of the date of this Protective Order, as Confidential

13

any document produced prior to the date of this Protective Order.

14

(b) for testimony given in depositions that the Designating Party identify the

15

Disclosure or Discovery Material on the record, before the close of the deposition all

16

protected testimony, or by giving written notice to the parties within a reasonable

17

time after the Designating Party’s receipt of the transcript containing such testimony.

18

“Reasonable time” shall normally be 30 days from the Designating Party’s receipt of

19

the transcript containing such testimony. The parties shall cooperate in allowing

20

longer or shorter periods of time as needs of the case arise.

21

(c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and for

22

any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the

23

exterior of the container or containers in which the information is stored the legend

24

“CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a portion or portions of the information warrants

25

protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the protected

26

portion(s).

Inadvertent Failures to Designate.

2

If timely corrected, an inadvertent failure to designate qualified information or

3

items does not, standing alone, waive the Designating Party’s right to secure

4

protection under this Order for such material. Upon timely correction of a

5

designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable efforts to assure that the

material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this Order.

CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS

Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute

resolution process under Local Rule 37.1 et seq.
6.3

13

The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on

14

the Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper

15

purpose (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other

16

parties) may expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating

17

Party has waived or withdrawn the confidentiality designation, all parties shall

18

continue to afford the material in question the level of protection to which it is

19

entitled under the Producing Party’s designation until the Court rules on the

20

challenge.

ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
7.1

Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is

23

disclosed or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this

24

Action only for prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this Action. Such

25

Protected Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the

26

conditions described in this Order. When the Action has been terminated, a

27

Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of section 13 below (FINAL

12
13

that compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this Action as
“CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must:

b)

promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order to

14

issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the subpoena

A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE
PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION

3

a)

The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a

4

Non-Party in this Action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information

5

produced by Non-Parties in connection with this litigation is protected by the

6

remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in these provisions should be

7

construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional protections.

8
9

b)

In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to

produce a Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is

10

subject to an agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s

11

confidential information, then the Party shall:
1)

12

promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-

13

Party that some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality

14

agreement with a Non-Party;

15

2)

promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated

16

Protective Order in this Action, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably

17

specific description of the information requested; and
3)

18
19
20

make the information requested available for inspection by the

Non-Party, if requested.
c)

If the Non-Party fails to seek a protective order from this court within 14

21

days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party may

22

produce the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the discovery

23

request. If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall

24

not produce any information in its possession or control that is subject to the

25

confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a determination by the court.

26

Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the burden and expense

27

of seeking protection in this court of its Protected Material.

INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE
PROTECTED MATERIAL

9

When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain

10

inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection,

11

the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil

12

Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify whatever procedure

13

may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for production without prior

14

privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) and (e), insofar as the

15

parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure of a communication or

16

information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work product protection, the

17

parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated protective order submitted

18

to the court.

MISCELLANEOUS
12.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any

person to seek its modification by the Court in the future.
12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this

23

Protective Order no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to

24

disclosing or producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in this

25

Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on any

26

ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective Order.

12.3 Filing Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any

28

Protected Material must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5. Protected Material may

12.

FINAL DISPOSITION
After the final disposition of this Action, as defined in paragraph 4, within 60

6
7

days of a written request by the Designating Party, each Receiving Party must return

8

all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such material. As used in

9

this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts, compilations,

10

summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected

11

Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the Receiving

12

Party must submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the same

13

person or entity, to the Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that (1) identifies

14

(by category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was returned or

15

destroyed and (2)affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any copies,

16

abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or capturing any

17

of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are entitled to

18

retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition, and hearing

19

transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert

20
