A. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS
Discovery in this action is likely to involve production of confidential,

proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public
disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may
be warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to
enter the following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this
Order does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to
discovery and that the protection it affords from public disclosure and use extends
only to the limited information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

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

6

B. GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT

7

This action is likely to involve information relating to former and current

8

third party employees of Defendant, including information relating to the

9

employment and personnel files of the former and current employees of the

10

Defendant and confidential business records for which special protection from

11

public disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecution of this action

12

is warranted.

13

Such confidential and proprietary materials and information consist of, among

14

other things, private employment records, confidential business records and

15

information (including information implicating privacy rights of third parties),

16

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

17

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

18

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

19

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

20

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

21

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

22

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

23

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

24

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

25

will not be designated as confidential for tactical reasons and that nothing be so

26

designated without a good faith belief that it has been maintained in a confidential,

27

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

28

record of this case.

DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
5.1

Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection.

7

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

8

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

9

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

10

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

11

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

12

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

13

unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order.

14

Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations

15

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

16

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

17

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

18

Designating Party to sanctions.

19

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

20

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

21

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

22

5.2

Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in

23

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

24

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

25

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

26

produced.

27

Designation in conformity with this Order requires:

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

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

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

6

portion(s) (e.g., by making 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

13

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

14

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

15

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

16

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

17

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

18

appropriate markings in the margins).

19

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

20

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

21

deposition all protected testimony.

22

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

23

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

24

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

25

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

26

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

27

protected portion(s).

1

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

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

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

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

5

provisions of this Order.

6.

CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS

7

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

8

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

9

Scheduling Order.

10
11

6.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute
resolution process under Local Rule 37.1 et seq.

12

6.3

The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be

13

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

14

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

15

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

16

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

17

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

18

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

19

challenge.

ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
7.1

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

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

24

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

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

(a)

The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a

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

3

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

4

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

5

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

6

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

7

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

8

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

9

confidential information, then the Party shall:

10

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

11

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

12

agreement with a Non-Party;

13

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

14

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

15

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

19

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

20

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

21

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

22

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

23

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

24

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

When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain

10

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

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

12

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

13

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

14

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

15

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

16

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

17

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

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.

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

23

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

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

25

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

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

FINAL DISPOSITION

7

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

8

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

9

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

10

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

12

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

13

Receiving Party must submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if

14

not the same person or entity, to the Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that

15

(1) identifies (by category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was

16

returned or destroyed and (2)affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any

17

copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or

18

capturing any of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel

20

deposition, and hearing transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition

21

and trial exhibits, expert reports, attorney work product, and consultant and expert
