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

A. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS

20 proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public
21 disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may
22 be warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to
23 enter the following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this
24 Order does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to
25 discovery and that the protection it affords from public disclosure and use extends
26 only to the limited information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment
27 under the applicable legal principles. The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in

4842-5836-3991.1

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1 Section 12.3, below, that this Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to
2 file confidential information under seal; Civil Local Rule 79-5 sets forth the
3 procedures that must be followed and the standards that will be applied when a party
4 seeks permission from the court to file material under seal.

B. GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT

6

This action is likely to involve trade secrets, marketing and manufacturing

7 information and other valuable research, development, commercial, financial,
8 technical and/or proprietary information for which special protection from public
9 disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecution of this action is
10 warranted. Such confidential and proprietary materials and information consist of,
11 among other things, confidential business or financial information, information
12 regarding confidential business practices, or other confidential research,
13 development, or commercial information (including information implicating privacy
14 rights of third parties), information otherwise generally unavailable to the public, or
15 which may be privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure under state or
16 federal statutes, court rules, case decisions, or common law. Accordingly, to
17 expedite the flow of information, to facilitate the prompt resolution of disputes over
18 confidentiality of discovery materials, to adequately protect information the parties
19 are entitled to keep confidential, to ensure that the parties are permitted reasonable
20 necessary uses of such material in preparation for and in the conduct of trial, to
21 address their handling at the end of the litigation, and serve the ends of justice, a
22 protective order for such information is justified in this matter. It is the intent of the
23 parties that information will not be designated as confidential for tactical reasons
24 and that nothing be so designated without a good faith belief that it has been
25 maintained in a confidential, non-public manner, and there is good cause why it
26 should not be part of the public record of this case.

DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL

5

5.1

Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection.

6 Each Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under
7 this Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that
8 qualifies under the appropriate standards. The Designating Party must designate for
9 protection only those parts of material, documents, items, or oral or written
10 communications that qualify so that other portions of the material, documents,
11 items, or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept
12 unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order.
13

Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations

14 that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper
15 purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the case development process or to impose
16 unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Designating
17 Party to sanctions.
18

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

19 designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must
20 promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the inapplicable designation.
21

5.2

Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in

22 this Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise
23 stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection
24 under this Order must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or
25 produced.
26
27

LEWI

BISGAARD

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

28 but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that
4842-5836-3991.1

5

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1 the Producing Party affix at a minimum, the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” or
2 “CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” (hereinafter
3 “CONFIDENTIALITY legend”), to each page that contains protected material. If
4 only a portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the
5 Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making
6 appropriate markings in the margins).
7

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

8 need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated
9 which documents it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and
10 before the designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be
11 deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has identified the
12 documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine which
13 documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order. Then, before
14 producing the specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the
15 “CONFIDENTIALITY legend” to each page that contains Protected Material. If
16 only a portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the
17 Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making
18 appropriate markings in the margins).
19

(b)

all depositions or portions of depositions taken in this action that

20 contain Protected Material may be designated “Confidential” or “Confidential21 Attorneys’ Eyes Only” and thereby obtain the protections accorded other
22 “Confidential” or “Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only” documents.
23 Confidentiality designations for depositions shall be made either on the record or by
24 written notice to the other party within 14 days of receipt of the final transcript.
25 Unless otherwise agreed depositions shall be treated as “Confidential – Attorneys’
26 Eyes Only” until 14 days after receipt of the final transcript. The deposition of any
27 witness (or any portion of such deposition) that includes Protected Material shall be

LEWI

BRISBOI

28 taken only in the presence of persons who are qualified to have access to such
4842-5836-3991.1

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1 information pursuant to this Order.
(c)

2

for information produced in some form other than documentary and for

3 any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the
4 exterior of the container or containers in which the information is stored the legend
5 “CONFIDENTIAL” or “CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” If only
6 a portion or portions of the information warrants protection, the Producing Party, to
7 the extent practicable, shall identify the protected portion(s).
5.3

8

Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent

9 failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive
10 the Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such material.
11 Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable
12 efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this
13 Order.
14 6.

CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS

15

6.1

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

16 designation of confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the Court’s
17 Scheduling Order.
18

6.2

Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute

19 resolution process under Local Rule 37.1 et seq.
20

6.3

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

21 the Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper
22 purpose (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other
23 parties) may expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating
24 Party has waived or withdrawn the confidentiality designation, all parties shall
25 continue to afford the material in question the level of protection to which it is
26 entitled under the Producing Party’s designation until the Court rules on the
27 challenge.

Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d), the production or disclosure of

8 any discovery material made in connection with this action that a party claims was
9 inadvertent and should not have been produced or disclosed for any reason,
10 including but not limited to attorney-client privilege, work-product, or

14 not inadvertently been disclosed, either as to the specific information and/or
15 documents disclosed or as to any other related information and/or documents in this

MISCELLANEOUS

9

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

10 person to seek its modification by the Court in the future.
12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this

11

12 Protective Order no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to
13 disclosing or producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in this
14 Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on any
15 ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective Order.
12.3 Filing Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any

16

17 Protected Material must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5. Protected Material may
18 only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the
19 specific Protected Material at issue. If a Party's request to file Protected Material
20 under seal is denied by the court, then the Receiving Party may file the information
21 in the public record unless otherwise instructed by the court.

FINAL DISPOSITION

23

After the final disposition of this Action, as defined in paragraph 4, within 60

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