Upon consideration of the Stipulated Protective Order dated February 6, 2017 1 2 ' between Plaintiff Zelouf West Ltd.("Plaintiff or "Zelou~') and Defendants 3 Shoreline Wear, Inc.("Shoreline") and Zulily, LLC ("Zulily")(Shoreline and Zulily 4 collectively,"Defendants"), and finding good cause thereon, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the terms of the Stipulated Protective 5 6 Order shall govern the handling and disclosure of documents, things, and 7 information produced in this Action as follows: 8 1. 9 A. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS Discovery in this action is likely to involve production of confidential, 10 proprietary or private information for which special protection from public 11 disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may 12 be warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to 13 enter the following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this 14 Order does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to 15 discovery and that the protection it affords from public disclosure and use extends 16 only to the limited information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment 17 under the applicable legal principles. 18 19 B. GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT 2 0 This action is likely to involve trade secrets, customer and pricing lists and 21 other valuable research, development, commercial, financial, technical and/or 2 2 proprietary information for which special protection from public disclosure during 23 discovery and from use for any purpose other than prosecution of this action may be 2 4 warranted. Such confidential and proprietary materials and information consist of, 25 among other things, confidential business or financial information, information 2 6 regarding confidential business practices, or other confidential research, 27 development, or commercial information (including information implicating privacy 28 rights of third parties), information otherwise generally unavailable to the public, or -2TED PR I ER T R Case 2116-cv-04689-RGK-A Document 26-1 Filed 02/06/17 ~e 3 of 16 Page ID #:125. 1 which may be privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure under state or 2 federal statutes, court rules, case decisions, or common law. Accordingly, to 3 expedite the flow of information, to facilitate the prompt resolution of disputes over 4 confidentiality of discovery materials, to adequately protect information the parties 5 are entitled to keep confidential, to ensure that the parties are permitted reasonable 6 necessary uses of such material in preparation for and in the conduct of trial, to 7 address their handling at the end of the litigation, and serve the ends ofjustice, a 8 protective order for such information is justified in this matter. It is the intent of the 9 parties that information will not be designated as confidential for tactical reasons 10 and that nothing be so designated without a good faith belief that it has been 11 maintained in a confidential, non-public manner, and there is good cause why it 12 should not be part of the public record of this case. The parties understand and 13 acknowledge that this Protective Order does not govern the use of materials at trial. 14 Any motions for protective order or requests that documents be maintained under 15 seal must be made to the judicial officer handling the trial. 16 17 C. ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF PROCEDURE FOR FILING UNDER SEAL 18 The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 12.3, below, that this 19 Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential information 2 0 under seal; Local Civil Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be followed 21 and the standards that will be applied when a party seeks permission from the court 2 2 to file material under seal. 23 There is a strong presumption that the public has a right of access to judicial 2 4 proceedings and records in civil cases. In connection with non-diapositive motions, 25 good cause must be shown to support a filing under seal. See Kamakana v. City and 2 6 County ofHonolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1176(9th Cir. 2006), Phillips v. Gen. Motors 27 COYp•, 307 F.3d 1206, 1210-11 (9th Cir. 2002), Makar-Welbon v. Sonv Electrics, 28 Inc., 187 F.R.D. 576, 577(E.D.

The parties' mere designation of Disclosure or Discovery Material as CONFIDENTIAL does not— without the submission of competent evidence by declaration, establishing that the material sought to be filed under seal qualifies as confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable---constitute good cause.

Again, competent evidence support the application to file documents under seal must be provided by declaration. Any document that is not confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable in its entirety will not be filed under seal if the confidential portions can be redacted. If documents can be redacted, then a redacted version for public viewing, omitting 21 only the confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable portions of the document, shall be filed. Any application that seeks to file documents under seal in their 2 2 entirety should include an explanation of why redaction is not feasible. 0 2 23 4 2 . 2 DEFINITIONS 25 .1 2 Action: This pending federal lawsuit. 6 2 .2 2 Challen~g Party: a Party or Non-Party that challenges the 27 28 designation of information or items under this Order. .3.1 "CONFIDENTIAL" Information or Items: information (regardless of 2 -4- [PROPOSED] ORDER GRANTING STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDF Case ; 3-cv-04689-RGK-A~ Document 26-1 Filed 02/06/17 I ~e 5 of 16 Page ID #:127 1 how it is generated, stored or maintained) or tangible things that qualify for 2 protection under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c), and as specified above in 3 the Good Cause Statement. 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 .3.2 "HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL - AEO"Information or Items: 2 information that constitutes a trade secret of the Designating Party. 2 .4 Counsel: Outside Counsel of Record and House Counsel(as well as their support staff. 2 .5 Desi gnating Party: a Party or Non-Party that designates information or items that it produces in disclosures or in responses to discovery as CONFIDENTIAL" or "HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL — AEO".

Accordingly, the 2 terms of this protective order do not extend beyond the commencement of the trial. 3 4 ~ 5. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL 5 5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Desi natin~Material for Protection. 6 Each Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under 7 this Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that 8 qualifies under the appropriate standards. The Designating Party must designate for 9 protection only those parts of material, documents, items or oral or written 10 communications that qualify so that other portions of the material, documents, items 11 or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept unjustifiably 12 within the ambit of this Order. 13 Mass, indiscriminate or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations 14 that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper 15 purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the case development process or to impose 16 unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Designating 17 Party to sanctions. 18 If it comes to a Designating Party's attention that information or items that it 19 designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must 2 0 promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the inapplicable.designation. 21 5.2 Manner and Timing of Desi ngations. Except as otherwise provided in 2 2 this Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise 23 stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection 2 4 under this Order must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or 25 produced. 2 6 27 28 Designation in conformity with this Order requires: ( for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic a) documents, but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial -~[PROPOSED] ORDER GRANTING STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 'Case -cv-04689-RGK-A Document 26-1 Filed 02/06/17 ~e 8 of 16 Page ID #:130 1 proceedings), that the Producing Party affix at a minimum, the legend 2 " CONFIDENTIAL" or"HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL — AEO",as may be 3 appropriate,(hereinafter "CONFIDENTIAL legend"), to each page that contains 4 protected material. If only a portion of the material on a page qualifies for 5 protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portions) 6 ( e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins). 7 A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents available for inspection 8 need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated 9 which documents it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and 10 before the designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be 11 deemed "CONFIDENTIAL." After the inspecting Party has identified the 12 documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine which 13 documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order. Then, 14 before producing the specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the 15 CONFIDENTIAL legend" to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a " 16 portion of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also 17 must clearly identify the protected portions)(e.g., by making appropriate markings 18 in the margins). 19 ( for testimony given in depositions that the Designating Party identifies b) 2 0 the Disclosure or Discovery Material on the record, before the close of the 21 deposition all protected testimony. 2 2 ( for information produced in some form other than documentary and c) 23 f any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on or 4 2 the exterior of the container or containers in which the information is stored the 25 legend "CONFIDENTIAL" or "HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL — AEO" as may be 2 6 appropriate. If only a portion or portions of the information warrants protection, the 27 Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the protected portion(s). 28 Inadvertent Failures to Desi~ate.

Document 26-1 Filed 02/06/17 ~e 9 of 16 Page ID #:131 1 failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive 2 the Designating Party's right to secure protection under this Order for such material. 3 Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable 4 efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this 5 Order. 6 7 ICS CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS 8 6.1 9 10 designation of confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the Court's Scheduling Order. 11 12 Timing of Challen~. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a 6 .2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute resolution process under Local Rule 37.1 et seq. 13 6 .3 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 2 0 challenge. 21 2 1 7 2 ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 23 7.1 Basic Principles.
