order provided under Magistrate Judge Rozella A. Oliver’s Procedures.

A. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS

3
4

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

5

proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public

6

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

7

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

8

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

9

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

10

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

11

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

12

under the applicable legal principles.

13
14

B. GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT

15
16

This action is likely to involve trade secrets, customer and pricing lists and

17

other valuable research, development, commercial, financial and/or technical

18

information for which special protection from public disclosure and from use for

19

any purpose other than prosecution of this action is warranted. Such confidential

20

materials and information consist of, among other things, confidential business or

21

financial information, information regarding purchase and sale prices of fabric or

22

garments by suppliers, manufacturers, importers, distributors or fashion retailers,

23

information regarding business practices, information regarding the creation,

24

purchase or sale of graphics used on textiles and garments, or other confidential

25

commercial information (including information implicating privacy rights of third

26

parties), information generally unavailable to the public, or which may be

27

privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure under state of federal rules, court

28

{10457/609487-000/01638234.1}2
[PROPOSED] ORDER

This Stipulated Protective Order is substantially based on the model protective
order provided under Magistrate Judge Rozella A. Oliver’s Procedures.

1

rules, case decisions, or common law. Accordingly, to expedite the flow of

2

information, to facilitate the prompt resolution of disputes over confidentiality of

3

discovery materials, to adequately protect information the parties are entitled to

4

keep confidential, to ensure that the parties are permitted reasonable necessary uses

5

of such material in preparation for and in the conduct of trial, to address their

6

handling at the end of the litigation, and serve the ends of justice, a protective order

7

for such information is justified in this matter. It is the intent of the parties that

8

information will not be designated as confidential for tactical reasons and that

9

nothing be so designated without a good faith belief that it has been maintained in a

10

confidential, non-public manner, and there is good cause why it should not be part

11

of the public record of this case.

12
13

C. ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF PROCEDURE FOR FILING UNDER SEAL

14

The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 12.3, below, that this

15

Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential

16

information under seal; Local Civil Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be

17

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

18

the court to file material under seal.

19

There is a strong presumption that the public has a right of access to judicial

20

proceedings and records in civil cases. In connection with non-dispositive motions,

21

good cause must be shown to support a filing under seal. See Kamakana v. City and

22

County of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1176 (9th Cir. 2006), Phillips v. Gen. Motors

23

Corp., 307 F.3d 1206, 1210-11 (9th Cir. 2002), Makar-Welbon v. Sony Electrics,

24

Inc., 187 F.R.D. 576, 577 (E.D. Wis. 1999) (even stipulated protective orders

25

require good cause showing), and a specific showing of good cause or compelling

26

reasons with proper evidentiary support and legal justification, must be made with

27

respect to Protected Material that a party seeks to file under seal. The parties’ mere

28

{10457/609487-000/01638234.1}3
[PROPOSED] ORDER

This Stipulated Protective Order is substantially based on the model protective
order provided under Magistrate Judge Rozella A. Oliver’s Procedures.

1

designation of Disclosure or Discovery Material as CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY

2

CONFIDENTIAL/ATTORNEY EYES ONLY does not— without the submission

3

of competent evidence by declaration, establishing that the material sought to be

4

filed under seal qualifies as confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable—

5

constitute good cause.

6

Further, if a party requests sealing related to a dispositive motion or trial,

7

then compelling reasons, not only good cause, for the sealing must be shown, and

8

the relief sought shall be narrowly tailored to serve the specific interest to be

9

protected. See Pintos v. Pacific Creditors Ass’n, 605 F.3d 665, 677-79 (9th Cir.

10

2010). For each item or type of information, document, or thing sought to be filed

11

or introduced under seal in connection with a dispositive motion or trial, the party

12

seeking protection must articulate compelling reasons, supported by specific facts

13

and legal justification, for the requested sealing order. Again, competent evidence

14

supporting the application to file documents under seal must be provided by

15

declaration.

16

Any document that is not confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable in

17

its entirety will not be filed under seal if the confidential portions can be redacted.

18

If documents can be redacted, then a redacted version for public viewing, omitting

19

only the confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable portions of the document,

20

shall be filed. Any application that seeks to file documents under seal in their

21

entirety should include an explanation of why redaction is not feasible.

22
23

5.

DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection.

18

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

19

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

20

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

21

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

22

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

23

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

24

unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order.

25
26

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

27
28

{10457/609487-000/01638234.1}7
[PROPOSED] ORDER

This Stipulated Protective Order is substantially based on the model protective
order provided under Magistrate Judge Rozella A. Oliver’s Procedures.

1

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

2

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

3

Designating 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. Except as otherwise provided in

8

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

9

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

10

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

11

produced.

12
13

Designation in conformity with this Order requires:
(a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic

14

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

15

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

16

“CONFIDENTIAL”or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL/ATTORNEY EYES ONLY”

17

(hereinafter “Confidentiality legend”), to each page that

18

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

19

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

20

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

21

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

22

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

23

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

24

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

25

deemed “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL/ATTORNEY EYES

26

ONLY” as determined by agreement of the Parties. After the inspecting Party has

27

identified the

28

{10457/609487-000/01638234.1}8
[PROPOSED] ORDER

This Stipulated Protective Order is substantially based on the model protective
order provided under Magistrate Judge Rozella A. Oliver’s Procedures.

1

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

2

which documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order.

3

Then, before producing the specified documents, the Producing Party must affix

4

the “Confidentiality legend” to each page that contains Protected Material. If only

5

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

6

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

7

appropriate markings in the margins).
(b) for testimony given in depositions that the Designating Party identify

8
9
10

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

11

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

12

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

13

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

14

legend “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL/ATTORNEY EYES

15

ONLY.” If only a portion or portions of the information

16

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

17

the protected portion(s).
5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. An inadvertent

18
19

failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive

20

the Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such

21

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

22

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

23

provisions of this Order.

24
25
26
27
28

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
{10457/609487-000/01638234.1}9
[PROPOSED] ORDER

This Stipulated Protective Order is substantially based on the model protective
order provided under Magistrate Judge Rozella A. Oliver’s Procedures.

1

Scheduling Order.
6.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute

2
3

resolution process under Local Rule 37.1 et seq.
6.3 The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on

4
5

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

6

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

7

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

8

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

9

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

10

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

11

challenge.

12
13

7.

ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

14

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

15

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

16

Action only for prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this Action, and not

17

PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED

5

IN OTHER LITIGATION

6

If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation

7

that compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this Action as

8

“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL/ATTORNEY EYES

9

ONLY,” that Party must:

10
11
12

(a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification
shall include a copy of the subpoena or court order;
(b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order

13

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

14

subpoena or order is subject to this Protective Order. Such notification shall

23

Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in that

24

court of its confidential material and nothing in these provisions should be

27
28

{10457/609487-000/01638234.1}13
[PROPOSED] ORDER

A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE

2

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” or “HIGHLY

5

CONFIDENTIAL/ATTORNEY EYES ONLY” Such information produced by

6

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

7

relief provided by this Order. Nothing in these provisions should be construed as

8

prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional protections.

9

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

10

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

11

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

12

confidential information, then the Party shall:

13

(1) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party

14

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

15

agreement with a Non-Party;

16

(2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated

17

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

18

specific description of the information requested; and

19
20
21

(3) 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

22

14 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving

23

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

24

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

25

Party shall not produce any information in its possession or control that is subject

26

UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

5

If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has

6

disclosed Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized

7

under this Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a)

8

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

9

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

10

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

11

PROTECTED MATERIAL

17

INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE

If information produced in discovery is subject to a claim of privilege or of

18

protection as trial-preparation material, the party making the claim may notify any

19

party that received the information of the claim and the basis for it. Upon receiving

20

notice, the Receiving Parties must comply with the procedure set forth in Federal

21

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

22

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

23

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

24

502(d) and (e), insofar as the parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure

25

of a communication or information covered by the attorney-client privilege or

26

work product protection, the parties may incorporate their agreement in the

27

stipulated protective order submitted to the court.

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

MISCELLANEOUS

person to seek its modification by the Court in the future.

5

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

6

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

7

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

8

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

9

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

10

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

11
12

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

13

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

14

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

15

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

16

in the public record unless otherwise instructed by the court.

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

20

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

21

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

22

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

23

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

24

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

25

Receiving Party must submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if

26

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

27

5

deposition, and hearing transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition

6

and trial exhibits, expert reports, attorney work product, and consultant and expert
