1. A.PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS

2

As the parties have represented that discovery in this action is likely to

3

involve production of confidential, proprietary, or private information for which

4

special protection from public disclosure and from use for any purpose other than

5

prosecuting this litigation may be warranted, this Court enters the following

6

Protective Order. This Order does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures

7

or responses to discovery. The protection it affords from public disclosure and use

8

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

9

treatment under the applicable legal principles. Further, as set forth in Section 12.3,

10

below, this Protective Order does not entitle the parties to file confidential

l1

information under seal. Rather, when the parties seek permission from the court to

12

file material under seal, the parties must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5 and

13

with any pertinent orders ofthe assigned District Judge and Magistrate Judge.

14

B. GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT

15

In light ofthe nature ofthe allegations, claims and counter-claims in this case

16

and the parties' representations that discovery in this case will involve the

17

production of confidential records, and in order to expedite the flow of information,

18

to facilitate the prompt resolution of disputes over confidentiality of discovery

19

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

2
0

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

21

such material in connection with this action, to address their handling ofsuch

22

material at the end ofthe litigation, and to serve the ends ofjustice, a protective

23

order for such information is justified in this matter. The parties shall not designate

24

any information/documents as confidential without a good faith belief that such

25

information/documents have been maintained in a confidential, non-public manner,

2
6

and that there is good cause or a compelling reason why it should not be part ofthe

27

public record of this case. Additionally, this action is likely to involve customer

1

lists, seller lists and other valuable financial and/or proprietary information for

2

which special protection from public disclosure and from use for any purpose other

3

than prosecution of this action is warranted. Such confidential and proprietary

4

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

5

f
inancial records, including the Parties' marketing and sales strategies and Non-

6

Party business records from third-party retailers (including information implicating

7

privacy rights of third-party affiliates who advertised for sale and sold products at

8

issue). This information is otherwise generally unavailable to the public, and may

9

be protected from disclosure as trade secrets under state or federal statutes, court

10

rules, case decisions, or common law.

11

C. ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF PROCEDURE FOR FILING UNDER SEAL

12

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

13

Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential information

14

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

15

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

16

material under seal.

[PROPOSED]PROTECTIVE ORDER

Case x:17-cv-00081-SVW-E Document 39-1 Filed 08/02/17 Page 6 of 16 Page ID #:351

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

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

6

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

7

unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order.

8

Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations

9

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

10

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

11

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

12

Party to sanctions.

13

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

14

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

15

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

16

5.2

Manner and Timing of Desi nations. Except as otherwise provided in

17

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

18

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

19

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

2
0

produced.

21

Designation in conformity with this Order requires:

22

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

23

documents, but excluding transcripts of depositions), that the Producing Party affix

4
2

at a minimum, the legend "CONFIDENTIAL" or "HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL --

25

ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY" to each page that contains protected material. If

2
6

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

27

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

28

1

appropriate markings in the margins).

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

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

6

deemed "CONFIDENTIAL." After the inspecting Party has identified the

7

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

8

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

9

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

10

"CONFIDENTIAL", or "ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY" legend to each page that

11

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

12

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

13

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

14
15

(b) for testimony given in depositions that the Designating Party identifies
on the record, before the close ofthe deposition as protected testimony.

l6

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

17

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

18

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

19

legend "CONFIDENTIAL" or "ATTORNEYS'EYES ONLY." If only a portion or

20

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

2t

practicable, shall identify the protected portion(s).

22

5.3

Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent

23

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

24

the Designating Party's right to secure protection under this Order for such material.

25

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

26

efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this

27

Order.

8

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

9

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

l0

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

11

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

12

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

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