STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
2:17-cv-00885-JFW(MRWx)

1

1.

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

4

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

5

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

6

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

7

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

8

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

9

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

10

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

11

in Section 12.3, below, that this Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them

12

to file confidential information under seal; Civil Local Rule 79-5 sets forth the

13

procedures that must be followed and the standards that will be applied when a

14

party seeks permission from the court to file material under seal.

15

B.

GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT

16

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

17

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

18

proprietary information, as well as medical records relating to Plaintiff’s physical

19

and emotional conditions, for which special protection from public disclosure and

20

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

21

private, confidential and proprietary materials and information consist of, among

22

other things, confidential business or financial information, information regarding

23

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

24

commercial information (including information implicating privacy rights of third

25

parties), private medical records relating to Plaintiff’s physical and mental

26

conditions, information otherwise generally unavailable to the public, or which

27

may be privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure under state or federal

28

statutes, court rules, case decisions, or common law. Accordingly, to expedite the
1

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
2:17-cv-00885-JFW(MRWx)

1

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

2

confidentiality of discovery materials, to adequately protect information the parties

3

are entitled to keep confidential, to ensure that the parties are permitted reasonable

4

necessary uses of such material in preparation for and in the conduct of trial, to

5

address their handling at the end of the litigation, and serve the ends of justice, a

6

protective order for such information is justified in this matter. It is the intent of the

7

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

8

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

9

maintained in a confidential, non-public manner, and there is good cause why it

10

should not be part of the public record of this case.

11

SCOPE

3

The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only

5

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

presentations by Parties or their Counsel that reveals Protected Material.

4.

DURATION

11

Even after final disposition of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations

12

imposed by this Order shall remain in effect until a Designating Party agrees

13

otherwise in writing or a court order otherwise directs. Final disposition shall be

14

deemed to be the later of (1) dismissal of all claims and defenses in this Action,

15

with or without prejudice; and (2) final judgment herein after the completion and

16

exhaustion of all appeals, rehearings, remands, trials, or reviews of this Action,

17

including the time limits for filing any motions or applications for extension of

18

time pursuant to applicable law.

19

5.

DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL

20

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

21

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

22

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

23

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

24

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

25

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

26

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

27

unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order.

28

Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations
4

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
2:17-cv-00885-JFW(MRWx)

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

Designating Party to sanctions.

5

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

6

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

7

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

8

5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in

9

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

10

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

11

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

12

produced.

13

Designation in conformity with this Order requires:

14

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

15

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

16

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

17

“CONFIDENTIAL” (hereinafter “CONFIDENTIAL 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.” After the inspecting Party has identified the

26

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

27

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

28

Then, before producing the specified documents, the Producing Party must affix
5

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
2:17-cv-00885-JFW(MRWx)

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

appropriate markings in the margins).

5

(b) for testimony given in depositions that the Designating Party identify the

6

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

7

all protected testimony.

8

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

9

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

10

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

11

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

12

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

13

protected portion(s).

14

5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent

15

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

16

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

17

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

18

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

19

provisions of this Order.

20

6.

CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS

21

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

22

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

23

Scheduling Order.

24
25

6.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute
resolution process under Local Rule 37-1 et seq.

26

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

27

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

28

purpose (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other
6

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
2:17-cv-00885-JFW(MRWx)

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

challenge.

6

7.

ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

7

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

8

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

9

Action only for prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this Action. Such

10

Protected Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons and under

11

the conditions described in this Order. When the Action has been terminated, a

12

Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of section 13 below (FINAL

13

DISPOSITION).

14

Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a

15

location and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons

16

authorized under this Order.

17

7.2 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless

18

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

19

Receiving

20

“CONFIDENTIAL” only to:

Party

may

disclose

any

information

or

item

designated

21

(a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this Action and

22

Outside Counsel of Defendant, as well as employees of said Outside Counsel of

23

Record and Outside Counsel of Defendant to whom it is reasonably necessary to

24

disclose the information for this Action;

25
26

(b) the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel) of the
Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action;

27

(c) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom

28

disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed the
7

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
2:17-cv-00885-JFW(MRWx)

1

“Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);

2

(d) the court and its personnel;

3

(e) court reporters and their staff;

4

(f) professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, and Professional

5

Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have

6

signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);
(g) the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a

7
8

custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information;

9

(h) during their depositions, witnesses, and attorneys for witnesses, in the

10

Action to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary provided: (1) the deposing

11

party requests that the witness sign the form attached as Exhibit A hereto; and (2)

12

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

13

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

14

agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the court. Pages of transcribed

15

deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material may

16

be separately bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone

17

except as permitted under this Stipulated Protective Order; and
(i) any mediator or settlement officer, and their supporting personnel,

18
19

mutually agreed upon by any of the parties engaged in settlement discussions.

20

8.

PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED

21

IN OTHER LITIGATION

22

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

23

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

24

“CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must:

25
26

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

27

(b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order to

28

issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the subpoena
8

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
2:17-cv-00885-JFW(MRWx)

1

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

2

of this Stipulated Protective Order; and
(c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued

3
4

by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.

5

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

6

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

7

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

8

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

9

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

10

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

11

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

12

to disobey a lawful directive from another court.

13

9.

A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE

14

PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION

15

(a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a Non-

16

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

17

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

18

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

19

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

20

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

21

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

22

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

23

confidential information, then the Party shall:

24

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

25

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

26

with a Non-Party;

27

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

28

Order in this Action, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably specific
9

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
2:17-cv-00885-JFW(MRWx)

1

description of the information requested; and
(3) make the information requested available for inspection by the Non-

2
3

Party, if requested.

4

(c) If the Non-Party fails to seek a protective order from this court within 14

5

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

6

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

7

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

8

not produce any information in its possession or control that is subject to the

9

confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a determination by the court.

10

Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the burden and

11

expense of seeking protection in this court of its Protected Material.

12

10.

UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

13

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

14

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

15

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

16

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

17

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

18

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

19

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

20

“Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit

21

A.

22

11.

INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE

23

PROTECTED MATERIAL

24

When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain

25

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

26

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

27

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

28

whatever procedure may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for
10

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
2:17-cv-00885-JFW(MRWx)

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

stipulated protective order submitted to the Court.

6

12.

7
8

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.

9

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

10

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

11

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

12

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

13

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

14

Order.

15

12.3 Filing Protected Material. Pursuant to the Standing Order applicable to

16

this Action, an application to file documents under seal must meet the requirements

17

of the Local Rules, including Local Rule 79-5, and shall be limited to three

18

documents by any Party unless otherwise ordered by the Court. The application to

19

file documents under seal should not be filed under seal.

20

If a Party wishes to file a document that has been designated confidential by

21

another Party, the submitting Party must give any Designating Party five calendar

22

days’ notice of intent to file. If the Designating Party objects, it should notify the

23

submitting Party and file an application to file documents under seal within two

24

court days.

25

If the Parties anticipate requesting the court to file more than three

26

documents under seal in connection with any motion, they shall identify all such

27

documents that will be required to support and oppose the motion during the Local

28

Rule 7-3 conference. The Parties shall then meet and confer in order to determine
11

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
2:17-cv-00885-JFW(MRWx)

1

if the documents satisfy the “compelling need” standard for “sealing” each

2

document.

3

proposed order to file under seal all such documents with the required showing as

4

to each document. The joint application shall be filed promptly so that the Court

5

may rule on the application before the filing date for the motion. The Parties shall

6

not file any pleadings containing documents they have requested the Court to file

7

under seal until the Court acts on the application to file under seal.
If an application to file documents under seal is denied in part or in full, the

8
9

Thereafter, the Parties shall file a joint application and lodge a

lodged documents will not be filed.

The Courtroom Deputy will notify the

10

submitting party and hold the lodged documents for three court days to allow the

11

submitting Party to retrieve the documents. If the documents are not retrieved, the

12

Courtroom Deputy will dispose of the documents.

13

A redacted version for public viewing, omitting only such portions as the

14

Court has ordered filed under seal shall be promptly filed by the parties after the

15

Court’s Order sealing the documents. Should counsel fail to file a redacted version

16

of the documents, the Court will strike any motion that relies on or relates to the

17

document and/or file the document in the public record.

18

If the Court grants an application to file documents under seal, the Court’s

19

courtesy copies shall include a complete version of the documents with an

20

appropriate notation identifying the document or the portion of the document that

21

has been filed under seal.

22

13.

FINAL DISPOSITION

23

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

24

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

25

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

26

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

27

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

28

Protected Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the
12

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
2:17-cv-00885-JFW(MRWx)

FOR GOOD CAUSE SHOWN, IT IS SO ORDERED.
