[PROPOSED] STIP’D PROTECTIVE ORDER
2:16-CV-9088

1

Plaintiff Turn Key Wine Brands LLC and Defendants CustomVine Corp,

2

Penrose Hill, Limited, Time, Inc., Kevin Boyer, L18 Wines, LLC, and L18

3

Holdings, Inc., by and through their respective counsel, acknowledge that the

4

discovery and pre-trial phase of this action is likely to involve the disclosure of

5

trade secrets and/or other confidential and proprietary business, technical or

6

financial information. Therefore, the parties hereby stipulate that the Court may

7

enter the following Stipulated Protective Order1 pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(c).

8
9

1.

10

A.

PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS

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

11

proprietary or private information for which special protection from public

12

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

13

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

14

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

15

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

16

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

17

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

18

under the applicable legal principles.

19

B.

20
21

GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT

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

22

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

23

proprietary information for which special protection from public disclosure and

24

from use for any purpose other than prosecution of this action is warranted. Such

25

confidential and proprietary materials and information consist of, among other

26

things, confidential business or financial information, information regarding

27
28

1

This Stipulated Protective Order is based substantially on the model protective
order provided under Magistrate Judge Alexander F. MacKinnon’s Procedures.
OHSUSA:767140543.3

[PROPOSED] STIP’D PROTECTIVE ORDER
2:16-CV-9088

1

confidential business practices, or other confidential research, development, or

2

commercial information (including information implicating privacy rights of third

3

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

4

privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure under state or federal statutes,

5

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

6

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

7

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

8

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

9

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

10

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

11

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

12

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

13

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

14

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

15

of the public record of this case.

16
17
18
19

C.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF PROCEDURE FOR FILING

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

20

Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential information

21

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

22

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

23

to file material under seal.

24

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

25

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

26

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

27

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

28

Corp., 307 F.3d 1206, 1210-11 (9th Cir. 2002), Makar-Welbon v. Sony Electrics,
OHSUSA:767140543.3

[PROPOSED] STIP’D PROTECTIVE ORDER
2:16-CV-9088

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

designation of Disclosure or Discovery Material as CONFIDENTIAL does not—

6

without the submission of competent evidence by declaration, establishing that the

7

material sought to be filed under seal qualifies as confidential, privileged, or

8

otherwise protectable—constitute good cause.

9

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

10

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

11

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

12

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

13

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

14

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

15

seeking protection must articulate compelling reasons, supported by specific facts

16

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

17

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

18

declaration.

19

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

20

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

21

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

22

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

23

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

24

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

18

extracted from Protected Material; (2) all copies, excerpts, summaries, or

5.

DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
5.1

Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection.

10

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

11

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

12

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

13

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

14

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

15

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

16

unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order.

17

Mass, indiscriminate or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations

18

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

19

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

20

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

21

Designating Party to sanctions.

22

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

23

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

24

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

25

5.2

Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in

26

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

27

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

28
OHSUSA:767140543.3

-6-

[PROPOSED] STIP’D PROTECTIVE ORDER
2:16-CV-9088

1

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

2

produced.

3
4

Designation in conformity with this Order requires:
(a)

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

5

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

6

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

7

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

8

contains protected material. If only a portion of the material on a page qualifies for

9

protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s)

10

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

11

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

12

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

13

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

14

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

15

deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has identified the

16

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

17

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

18

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

19

“CONFIDENTIAL legend” to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a

20

portion of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also

21

must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings

22

in the margins).

23

(b)

for testimony given in depositions that the Designating Party

24

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

25

the deposition all protected testimony.

26

(c)

for information produced in some form other than documentary and

27

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

28

the exterior of the container or containers in which the information is stored the
OHSUSA:767140543.3

-7-

[PROPOSED] STIP’D PROTECTIVE ORDER
2:16-CV-9088

1

legend “CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a portion or portions of the information

2

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

3

protected portion(s).

4

5.3

Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent

5

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

6

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

7

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

8

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

9

provisions of this Order.

10
11
12

6.

CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
6.1

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

13

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

14

Scheduling Order.

15
16
17
18
19

6.2

Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute

resolution process under Local Rule 37-1 et seq.
6.3

Joint Stipulation. Any challenge submitted to the Court shall be via a

joint stipulation pursuant to Local Rule 37-2.
6.4

The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on

20

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 shall

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.

ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
7.1

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

disclosed or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this
Action only for prosecuting, defending or attempting to settle this Action. Such
Protected Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the
conditions described in this Order. When the Action has been terminated, a
Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of section 13 below (FINAL
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
authorized under this Order.
7.2

Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless

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

Party

may

disclose

any

information

or

item

designated

“CONFIDENTIAL” only to:
(a)

the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this Action, as

well as employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably
necessary to disclose the information for this Action;
(b)

the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel) of

the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action;
(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);

they will not be permitted to keep any confidential information unless they sign the

10

“Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A), unless otherwise

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

21

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

22

“CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must:

23
24
25

(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

26

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

27

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

28

a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order; and

(c)

cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be

pursued by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.

3

If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with

4

the subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this

5

action as “CONFIDENTIAL” before a determination by the court from which the

6

subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s

7

permission. The Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking

8

protection in that court of its confidential material and nothing in these provisions

9

should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this Action

10
11
12
13
14

to disobey a lawful directive from another court.
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

15

Non-Party in this Action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information

16

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

17

remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in these provisions should be

18

construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional protections.

19

(b)

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 shall:

23

(1)

promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-

24

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

25

agreement with a Non-Party;

26

(2)

promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated

27

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

28

specific description of the information requested; and

(3)

make the information requested available for inspection by the

Non-Party, if requested.

3

(c)

If the Non-Party fails to seek a protective order from this court

4

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

5

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

6

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

7

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

8

is subject to the confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a

9

determination by the court. Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall

10

bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in this court of its Protected

11

Material.

12
13

10.

14

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

15

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

16

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

17

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

18

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

19

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

20

this Order, and (d) request such person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment

21

and Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

11.

INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE

PROTECTED MATERIAL
When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain

26

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

27

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

28

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

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

15

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