CASE NO. 2:16-CV-07378-VAP-SK

A.
PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS
2
Discovery in this action is likely to involve production of confidential,
3
proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public disclosure
4
and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may be warranted.
5
Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to enter the
6
following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this Order does
7
not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to discovery and that the
8
protection it affords from public disclosure and use extends only to the limited
9
information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment under the applicable
10
legal principles. The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 12.3, below,
11
that this Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential
12
information under seal; Civil Local Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be
13
followed and the standards that will be applied when a party seeks permission from
14
the court to file material under seal.
15
B.
GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT
16
The parties to the Litigation assert that public dissemination and disclosure of
17
Confidential Information could severely injure or damage the party disclosing or
18
producing the Confidential Information and could place that party at a competitive
19
disadvantage. This action is likely to involve trade secrets, customer and pricing lists
20
and other valuable research, development, commercial, financial, technical and/or
21
proprietary information for which special protection from public disclosure and from
22
use for any purpose other than prosecution of this action is warranted. Such
23
confidential and proprietary materials and information consist of, among other things,
24
confidential business or financial information, information regarding confidential
25
business practices, or other confidential research, development, or commercial
26
information (including information implicating privacy rights of third parties),
27
information otherwise generally unavailable to the public, or which may be privileged
28
2
394790 V1
[PROPOSED] ORDER RE STIPULATED AMENDED PROTECTIVE ORDER
CASE NO. 2:16-CV-07378- VAP-SK
1
or otherwise protected from disclosure under state or federal statutes, court rules, case
2
decisions, or common law. Accordingly, to expedite the flow of information, to
3
facilitate the prompt resolution of disputes over confidentiality of discovery materials,
4
to adequately protect information the parties are entitled to keep confidential, to ensure
5
that the parties are permitted reasonable necessary uses of such material in preparation
6
for and in the conduct of trial, to address their handling at the end of the litigation, and
7
serve the ends of justice, a protective order for such information is justified in this
8
matter. It is the intent of the parties that information will not be designated as
9
confidential for tactical reasons and that nothing be so designated without a good faith
10
belief that it has been maintained in a confidential, non-public manner, and there is
11
good cause why it should not be part of the public record of this case.

DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
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 this
28
5
394790 V1
[PROPOSED] ORDER RE STIPULATED AMENDED PROTECTIVE ORDER
CASE NO. 2:16-CV-07378- VAP-SK
1
Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that qualifies
2
under the appropriate standards. The Designating Party must designate for protection
3
only those parts of material, documents, items, or oral or written communications for
4
which protection is not warranted are not swept unjustifiably within the ambit of this
5
Order.
6
Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations
7
that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper
8
purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the case development process or to impose
9
unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Designating Party
10
to sanctions.
11
If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it
12
designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must
13
promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the inapplicable designation.
14
5.2
Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in
15
this Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise
16
stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection
17
under this Order must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or
18
produced.
19
Designation in conformity with this Order requires:
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
“CONFIDENTIAL” OR “SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER” (hereinafter
24
“CONFIDENTIAL legend”), to each page that contains protected material.
25
A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents available for inspection
26
need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated
27
which documents it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and before
28
6
394790 V1
[PROPOSED] ORDER RE STIPULATED AMENDED PROTECTIVE ORDER
CASE NO. 2:16-CV-07378- VAP-SK
1
the designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be deemed
2
“CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has identified the documents it wants
3
copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine which documents, or
4
portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order. Then, before producing the
5
specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the “CONFIDENTIAL legend”
6
to each page that contains Protected Material.
7
(b) for testimony given in depositions that the Designating Party identify
8
the Disclosure or Discovery Material on the record, before the close of the deposition
9
all protected testimony. In the case of testimony not so designated during the course
10
of a deposition, counsel may, within thirty (30) days of receiving the deposition
11
transcript,
12
“CONFIDENTIAL” material, in which case the testimony shall be subject to the full
13
protection of this Order.
notify
the
parties
that
the
deposition
testimony
contains
14
(c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and for
15
any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the
16
exterior of the container or containers in which the information is stored the legend
17
“CONFIDENTIAL.”
18
5.3
Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent
19
failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive the
20
Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such material.
21
Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable
22
efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this
23
Order.
24
6.
CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
25
6.1 Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a
26
designation of confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the Court’s
27
Scheduling Order.

1
2
6.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute
resolution process under Local Rule 37.1 et seq.
3
6.3
The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on
4
the Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper purpose
5
(e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may
6
expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating Party has waived
7
or withdrawn the confidentiality designation, all parties shall continue to afford the
8
material in question the level of protection to which it is entitled under the Producing
9
Party’s designation until the Court rules on the challenge.
10
11
7.
ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
7.1
Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is
12
disclosed or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this
13
Action only for prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this Action. Such
14
Protected Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the
15
conditions described in this Order. When the Action has been terminated, a Receiving
16
Party must comply with the provisions of section 13 below (FINAL DISPOSITION).
17
Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a
18
location and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons
19
authorized under this Order.
20
7.2

21
otherwise ordered by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a

10
(g) the author or recipient of a document containing the information;
11
(h) during their depositions, witnesses, and attorneys for witnesses, in the
12
Action to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary provided: (1) the deposing party
13
requests that the witness sign the form attached as Exhibit 1 hereto; and (2) they will
14
not be permitted to keep any confidential information unless they sign the
15
“Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A), unless otherwise agreed
16
by the Designating Party or ordered by the court. Pages of transcribed deposition

10
PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN
If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation
that compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this Action as
“CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must:
11
12
(a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall
include a copy of the subpoena or court order;
13
(b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order
14
to issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the subpoena
15
or order is subject to this Protective Order. Such notification shall include a copy of
16
this Stipulated Protective Order; and
17
18
(c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued
by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.
19
If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with
20
the subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this
21
action as “CONFIDENTIAL” before a determination by the court from which the
22
subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s
23
permission. The Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking
24
protection in that court of its confidential material and nothing in these provisions
25
should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this Action to
26
disobey a lawful directive from another court.

A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE PRODUCED
2
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
(b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to
9
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:
12
(1) 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
16
(2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated
Protective Order in this Action, the relevant discovery request(s), and
17
(3) a reasonably specific description of the information requested;
18
and make the information requested available for inspection by the Non-Party, if
19
requested.
20
(c) If the Non-Party fails to seek a protective order from this court within
21
14 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party
22
may 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 not
24
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.

UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
2
If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed
3
Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this
4
Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in
5
writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts
6
to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform the person or
7
persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this Order,
8
and (d) request such person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment and
9
Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

11
PROTECTED MATERIAL
INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE
12
When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain
13
inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection,
14
the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil
15
Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify whatever procedure
16
may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for production without prior
17
privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) and (e), insofar as the
18
parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure of a communication or
19
information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work product protection, the
20
parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated protective order submitted to
21
the court.
22
12.
23
24
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.
25
12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this
26
Protective Order no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to
27
disclosing or producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in this
28
12
394790 V1
[PROPOSED] ORDER RE STIPULATED AMENDED PROTECTIVE ORDER
CASE NO. 2:16-CV-07378- VAP-SK
1
Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on any
2
ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective Order.
3
12.3 Filing Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any
4
Protected Material must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5. Protected Material may
5
only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the
6
specific Protected Material at issue. If a Party's request to file Protected Material
7
under seal is denied by the court, then the Receiving Party may file the information in
8
the public record unless otherwise instructed by the court.
9
12.4
Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) the production of a
10
privileged or work-product-protected document, whether inadvertent or otherwise, is
11
not a waiver of privilege or protection from discovery in this case or in any other
12
federal or state proceeding. Said protection exists with respect to such document or
13
other documents or communications, written or oral, including, without limitation,
14
other communications referred to in the documents produced. Nothing contained
15
herein is intended to or shall serve to limit a party's right to conduct a review of
16
documents for relevance, responsiveness and/or segregation of privileged and/or
17
protected information before production. Furthermore, a party’s production shall not
18
be deemed a waiver of any party’s right to object for any reason to the admission of
19
any document or thing into evidence, nor shall the production be deemed an admission
20
of its admissibility or relevance. Nothing in this Paragraph shall prejudice the right of
21
any party to seek discovery or communications, documents and things as to which a
22
claim of attorney-client privilege or attorney work-product has been made.
23
12.5
Any Party receiving Confidential Material shall not under any
24
circumstances sell, offer for sale, advertise, or publicize Confidential Material or any
25
information contained therein.

After the final disposition of this Action, as defined in paragraph 4, within 30

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