is

0

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

i

One specific need for this Stipulated Protective Order is that Plaintiff

2

Anthony Luna's medical records will be produced. This Stipulated Protective

3

Order will cover the production of Plaintiff Luna's sensitive medical information.

4

Accordingly, to expedite the flow of information, to facilitate the prompt

s

resolution of disputes over confidentiality of discovery materials, to adequately

6

protect information the Parties are entitled to keep confidential, to ensure that the
Parties are permitted reasonable necessary uses of such material in preparation for

s
9

serve the ends ofjustice, a protective order for such information is justified in this

io

matter. It is the intent ofthe Parties that information will not be designated as

it
0

and in the conduct of trial, to address their handling at the end ofthe litigation, and

CONFIDENTIAL for tactical reasons and that nothing be so designated without a

12

good faith belief that it has been maintained in a confidential, non-public manner,

13

and there is good cause why it should not be part ofthe public record of this case.
