INTRODUCTION

1.1

3

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

PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS

4

proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public

5

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

6

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

7

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

8

Order does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to

9

discovery and that the protection it affords from public disclosure and use extends

10

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

11

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

12

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

13

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

14

procedures that must be followed and the standards that will be applied when a

15

party seeks permission from the court to file material under seal.

1.2

GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT
This case involves allegations by Plaintiff IV Solutions, Inc. (“IVS”)

18

that defendant PacifiCare Life and Health Insurance Company (“PLHIC”) failed to

19

pay IVS its full billed charges for medical services provided by IVS to PLHIC’s

20

member “C.M.” (whose identity is protected herein from disclosure). Discovery in

21

this case will naturally contain information regarding C.M., C.M.’s medical

22

condition, and medical services provided by IVS to C.M., all of which is protected

23

by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”). The parties

24

must ensure this information is kept confidential. Discovery in this case is also

25

likely to seek production of information regarding the parties’ trade secret,

26

privileged, proprietary or confidential information, including, without limitation,

27

the sources of certain drugs provided to C.M. for her treatment and the prices paid

28

for such drugs.

DURATION
Even after final disposition of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations

3

imposed by this Order will remain in effect until a Designating Party agrees

4

otherwise in writing or a court order otherwise directs. Final disposition will be

5

deemed to be the later of (1) dismissal of all claims and defenses in this Action,

DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
5.1

Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection.

12

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

13

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

14

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

15

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

16

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

17

items, or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept

18

unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order.

19

Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations

20

that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper

21

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

22

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

23

Designating Party to sanctions.

24

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

25

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

26

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

27

Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in

this Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise

1

stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection

2

under this Order must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or

3

produced.
Designation in conformity with this Order requires:

4
5

(a)

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

6

documents, but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial

7

proceedings), that the Producing Party affix at a minimum, the legend

8

“CONFIDENTIAL” (hereinafter “CONFIDENTIAL legend”) or “HIGHLY

9

CONFIDENTIAL” (hereinafter “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL” legend), to each

10

page that contains protected material. If only a portion or portions of the material on

11

a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the

12

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

13

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

14

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

15

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

16

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

17

deemed “CONFIDENTIAL legend” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL” legend After

18

the inspecting Party has identified the documents it wants copied and produced, the

19

Producing Party must determine which documents, or portions thereof, qualify for

20

protection under this Order. Then, before producing the specified documents, the

21

Producing Party must affix the “CONFIDENTIAL legend” to each page that

22

contains Protected Material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a page

23

qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected

24

portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins).

25

(b)

for testimony given in depositions that the Designating Party identify

26

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

27

deposition all protected testimony.

28

(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

2

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

3

legend “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a portion or

4

portions of the information warrants protection, the Producing Party, to the extent

5

practicable, will identify the protected portion(s).
5.3

6

Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an

7

inadvertent failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing

8

alone, waive the Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for

9

such material. Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must

10

make reasonable efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the

11

provisions of this Order.

6.

CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS

13

6.1

Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a

14

designation of confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the Court’s

15

Scheduling Order.

16

6.2

Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party will initiate the dispute

17

resolution process (and, if necessary, file a discovery motion) under Local Rule

18

37.1 et seq.

19

6.3

The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding will

20

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

21

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

22

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

23

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

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.

PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION

13

A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE

(a)

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

14

Non-Party in this Action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY

15

CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information produced by Non-Parties in connection with

16

this litigation is protected by the remedies and relief provided by this Order.

Nothing in these provisions should be construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from

18

seeking additional protections.

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

20

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

21

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

22

confidential information, then the Party will:

(1)

promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-

24

25

agreement with a Non-Party;

UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed

13

Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this

14

Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in

15

writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best

efforts to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform the

17

person or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of

INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE

When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain

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

24

protection, the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal

25

Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify

26

whatever procedure may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for

27

production without prior privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence

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.

7

12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this

8

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

9

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

10

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

11

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

12

Order.

13

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

14

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

15

may only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the

16

specific Protected Material at issue. If a Party's request to file Protected Material

17

under seal is denied by the court, then the Receiving Party may file the information

18

in the public record unless otherwise instructed by the court.

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

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

23

used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts,

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

25

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

not the same person or entity, to the Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that
