1. A. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS
21
22
Discovery in this action is likely to involve production of confidential,
23
proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public
24
disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may
25
26
27
be warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to
enter the following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this
28
2
1
Order does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to
2
discovery and that the protection it affords from public disclosure and use extends
3
only to the limited information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment
4
5
under the applicable legal principles. The parties further acknowledge, as set forth
6
in Section 12.3, below, that this Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them
7
to file confidential information under seal; Civil Local Rule 79-5 sets forth the
8
9
10
11
procedures that must be followed and the standards that will be applied when a
party seeks permission from the court to file material under seal.
B. GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT
12
13
Discovery in this action is likely to involve commercial, financial, and other
14
proprietary and confidential materials and information for which special protection
15
from public disclosure and from use for any purpose other than the prosecution of
16
17
this action is warranted. Such proprietary and confidential materials and
18
information are likely to consist of, among other things, confidential business or
19
20
financial information, information regarding confidential business practices,
21
information (including intellectual property) regarding the development,
22
production, scoring, and distribution of theatrical motion pictures—including
23
24
information that might implicate the privacy rights of third parties—or other
25
confidential information otherwise generally unavailable to the public, or which
26
may be privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure under state or federal
27
28
statutes, court rules, case decisions, or common law. Accordingly, to expedite the
3
1
flow of information, to facilitate the prompt resolution of disputes over
2
confidentiality of discovery materials, to adequately protect information the parties
3
are entitled to keep confidential, to ensure that the parties are permitted reasonable
4
5
necessary uses of such material in preparation for and in the conduct of trial, to
6
address their handling at the end of the litigation, and serve the ends of justice, a
7
protective order for such information is justified in this matter. It is the intent of
8
9
10
11
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
12
13
14
it should not be part of the public record of this case.

extracted from Protected Material; (2) all copies, excerpts, summaries, or
26
compilations of Protected Material; and (3) any testimony, conversations, or
27
28
presentations by Parties or their Counsel that might reveal Protected Material.
6
1
2
3

trial judge. This Order does not govern the use of Protected Material at trial.
4. DURATION
4
5
6
7
Even after final disposition of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations
imposed by this Order shall remain in effect until a Designating Party agrees
otherwise in writing or a court order otherwise directs. Final disposition shall be
8
9
10
11
deemed to be the later of (1) dismissal of all claims and defenses in this Action,
with or without prejudice; and (2) final judgment herein after the completion and
exhaustion of all appeals, rehearings, remands, trials, or reviews of this Action,
12
13
including the time limits for filing any motions or applications for extension of
14
time pursuant to applicable law.
15
5. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
16
17
18
5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection.
Each Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under
19
20
this Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that
21
qualifies under the appropriate standards. The Designating Party must designate for
22
protection only those parts of material, documents, items, or oral or written
23
24
communications that qualify so that other portions of the material, documents,
25
items, or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept
26
unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order.
27
28
7
1
2
3
Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations
that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper
purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the case development process or to
4
5
impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the
6
Designating Party to sanctions.
7
If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it
8
9
designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must
10
promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the inapplicable designation.
11
5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in
12
13
this Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise
14
stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection
15
under this Order must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or
16
17
18
produced.
Designation in conformity with this Order requires:
19
20
(a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic
21
documents, but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial
22
proceedings), that the Producing Party affix at a minimum, the legend
23
24
“CONFIDENTIAL” (hereinafter “CONFIDENTIAL legend”), to each page that
25
contains protected material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a page
26
qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the
27
28
protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins).
8
1
A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents available for inspection
2
need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated
3
which documents it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and
4
5
before the designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be
6
deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has identified the
7
documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine
8
9
10
11
which documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order.
Then, before producing the specified documents, the Producing Party must affix
the “CONFIDENTIAL legend” to each page that contains Protected Material. If
12
13
only a portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the
14
Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making
15
appropriate markings in the margins).
16
17
18
(b) for testimony given in depositions that the Designating Party identify the
Disclosure or Discovery Material on the record, before the close of the deposition
19
20
21
22
all protected testimony.
(c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and for
any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the
23
24
exterior of the container or containers in which the information is stored the legend
25
“CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a portion or portions of the information warrants
26
protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the
27
28
protected portion(s).
9
1
2
3
5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent
failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive
the Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such
4
5
material. Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make
6
reasonable efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the
7
provisions of this Order.
8
9
10
11
6. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
6.1 Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a
designation of confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the Court’s
12
13
14
Scheduling Order.
6.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute
15
resolution process under Local Rule 37.1 et seq.
16
17
18
6.3 The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on
the Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper
19
20
purpose (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other
21
parties) may expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating
22
Party has waived or withdrawn the confidentiality designation, all parties shall
23
24
continue to afford the material in question the level of protection to which it is
25
entitled under the Producing Party’s designation until the Court rules on the
26
challenge.
27
28
7. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
10
1
7.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is
2
disclosed or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this
3
Action only for prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this Action. Such
4
5
Protected Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons and under
6
the conditions described in this Order. When the Action has been terminated, a
7
Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of section 13 below (FINAL
8
9
10
11
DISPOSITION).
Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a
location and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons
12
13
14
authorized under this Order.
7.2 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless
15
otherwise ordered by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a
16
17
Receiving Party may disclose any information or item designated
18
“CONFIDENTIAL” only to:
19
20
(a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this Action, as well
21
as employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably
22
necessary to disclose the information for this Action;
23
24
25
(b) the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel) of the
Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action;
26
27
28
11
1
2
3
(c) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom
disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed the
“Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);
4
5
(d) the court and its personnel;
6
(e) court reporters and their staff;
7
(f) professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, and Professional
8
9
10
11
Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have
signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);
(g) the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a
12
13
14
custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information;
(h) during their depositions, witnesses, and attorneys for witnesses, in the
15
Action to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary provided: (1) the deposing
16
17
party requests that the witness sign the form attached as Exhibit 1 hereto; and (2)
18
they will not be permitted to keep any confidential information unless they sign the
19
20
“Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A), unless otherwise
21
agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the court. Pages of transcribed
22
deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material may
23
24
25
26
be separately bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone
except as permitted under this Stipulated Protective Order; and
(i) any mediator or settlement officer, and their supporting personnel,
27
28
mutually agreed upon by any of the parties engaged in settlement discussions.
12

8. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED
IN OTHER LITIGATION
If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation
4
5
that compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this Action as
6
“CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must:
7
(a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall
8
9
10
11
include a copy of the subpoena or court order;
(b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order to
issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the subpoena
12
13
or order is subject to this Protective Order. Such notification shall include a copy
14
of this Stipulated Protective Order; and
15
(c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued
16
17
18
by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.
If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served
19
20
with the subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in
21
this action as “CONFIDENTIAL” before a determination by the court from which
22
the subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s
23
24
permission. The Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking
25
protection in that court of its confidential material and nothing in these provisions
26
should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this Action
27
28
to disobey a lawful directive from another court.
13
1
2
3
9. A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE
PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION
(a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a
4
5
Non-Party in this Action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information
6
produced by Non-Parties in connection with this litigation is protected by the
7
remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in these provisions should be
8
9
10
11
construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional protections.
(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
12
13
subject to an agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s
14
confidential information, then the Party shall:
15
(1) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party that
16
17
some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality agreement
18
with a Non-Party;
19
20
(2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated Protective
21
Order in this Action, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably specific
22
description of the information requested; and
23
24
25
26
(3) make the information requested available for inspection by the NonParty, if requested.
(c) If the Non-Party fails to seek a protective order from this court within
27
28
14 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving
14
1
Party may produce the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the
2
discovery request. If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving
3
Party shall not produce any information in its possession or control that is subject
4
5
to the confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a determination by the
6
court. Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the burden and
7
expense of seeking protection in this court of its Protected Material.
8
9
10. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
10
If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has
11
disclosed Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized
12
13
under this Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a)
14
notify in writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its
15
best efforts to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform
16
17
the person or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms
18
of this Order, and (d) request such person or persons to execute the
19
20
21
22
“Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit
A.
11. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE
23
24
25
26
PROTECTED MATERIAL
When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain
inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other
27
28
protection, the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal
15
1
Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify
2
whatever procedure may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for
3
production without prior privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence
4
5
502(d) and (e), insofar as the parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure
6
of a communication or information covered by the attorney-client privilege or
7
work product protection, the parties may incorporate their agreement in the
8
9
10
11
stipulated protective order submitted to the court.
12. MISCELLANEOUS
12.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any
12
13
14
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
15
Protective Order no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to
16
17
disclosing or producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in
18
this Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on
19
20
21
22
any 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
23
24
Protected Material must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5. Protected Material
25
may only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the
26
specific Protected Material at issue. If a Party's request to file Protected Material
27
28
16
1
under seal is denied by the court, then the Receiving Party may file the information
2
in the public record unless otherwise instructed by the court.
3
13. FINAL DISPOSITION
4
5
After the final disposition of this Action, as defined in paragraph 4, within
6
60 days of a written request by the Designating Party, each Receiving Party must
7
return all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such material. As
8
9
10
11
used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts,
compilations, summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the
Protected Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the
12
13
Receiving Party must submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if
14
not the same person or entity, to the Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that
15
(1) identifies (by category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was
16
17
returned or destroyed and (2)affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any
18
copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or
19
20
capturing any of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel
21
are entitled to retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial,
22
deposition, and hearing transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition
23
24
and trial exhibits, expert reports, attorney work product, and consultant and expert
25
work product, even if such materials contain Protected Material. Any such archival
26
copies that contain or constitute Protected Material remain subject to this
27
28
Protective Order as set forth in Section 4 (DURATION).
17
1
2
3
14. Any violation of this Order may be punished by any and all appropriate
measures including, without limitation, contempt proceedings and/or monetary
sanctions.

IT IS SO STIPULATED, THROUGH COUNSEL OF RECORD.
