Pursuant to the stipulation of the parties, and good cause therefor, the Court
enters the following order:
1.

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

proprietary, competitively sensitive, or private information for which special
protection from public disclosure and from use for any purpose other than
prosecuting this litigation may be warranted. This Order does not confer blanket
protections on all disclosures or responses to discovery and the protection it affords
from public disclosure and use extends only to the limited information or items that

28

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

are entitled to confidential treatment under the applicable legal principles. As set

2

forth in Section 12.3 below, this Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle the

3

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

4

the 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

1.1

Good Cause Statement: This action is likely to involve trade secrets,

7

proprietary beverage production and supply information, proprietary marketing and

8

pricing information, and confidential sales information, and other valuable research,

9

development, commercial, financial, technical and/or proprietary information for

10

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

11

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

12

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

13

financial information (including competitively sensitive information), information

14

regarding confidential business practices, or other confidential research,

15

development or commercial information (including information implicating privacy

16

rights of third parties), information otherwise generally unavailable to the public, or

17

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

18

federal statutes, court rules, case decisions, or common law. Accordingly, to

19

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

20

confidentiality of discovery materials, to adequately protect information the parties

21

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

22

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

23

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

24

protective order for such information is justified in this matter. Information must

25

not be designated as confidential for tactical reasons and nothing may 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.

12

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

13

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

14

qualifies under the appropriate standards. A Designating Party must take care to

15

designate for protection only those parts of material, documents, items, or oral or

16

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

17

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

18

swept unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order.

19

Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations

20

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

21

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

22

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

23

Party to sanctions.

24

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

25

designated for protection do not qualify for protection at all, or do not qualify for

26

the level of protection initially asserted, the Designating Party must promptly notify

27

all other parties that it is withdrawing the mistaken designation.

5.2

Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

produced.

6
7

Designation in conformity with this Order requires:
(a)

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

8

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

9

proceedings), that the Producing Party affix the legend “CONFIDENTIAL”

10

(hereinafter “CONFIDENTIAL legend”), at the bottom of each page that contains

11

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

12

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

13

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

14

A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents or materials available

15

for inspection need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party

16

has indicated which documents or materials it would like copied and produced.

17

During the inspection and before the designation, all of the material made available

18

for inspection shall be deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has

19

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

20

determine which documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this

21

Order. Then, before producing the specified documents, the Producing Party must

22

affix the “CONFIDENTIAL legend” at the bottom of each page that contains

23

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

24

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

25

portion(s) (e.g. by making appropriate markings in the margins).

26

(b)

for testimony given in depositions or in other pretrial

27

proceedings, a Designating Party may identify on the record, before the close of the

28

deposition, hearing, or other proceeding, all protected testimony, and further

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

specify any portions of the testimony that qualify as “CONFIDENTIAL” or, when

2

it is impractical to specify portions entitled to protection, may simply invoke the

3

right to designate specific portions as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Following the

4

deposition, the Designating Party shall have 30 days, after the transcript becomes

5

available, to identify the specific portions of the testimony as to whether protection

6

is sought. Only those portions of the testimony that are appropriately designated

7

for protection within the 30 days shall be covered by the provisions of this Order.

8

Prior to the expiration of the 30 day period, the transcript shall be treated as

9

“CONFIDENTIAL.”
(c)

10

for information produced in some form other than documentary,

11

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

12

on the exterior of the container or containers in which the information or item is

13

stored the legend “CONFIDENTIAL.” If only portions of the information or item

14

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

15

protected portions(s).

16

5.3

Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent

17

failure to designate qualified information or items as “CONFIDENTIAL” does not,

18

standing alone, waive the Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this

19

Order for such material. Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving

20

Party must make reasonable efforts to assure that the material is treated in

21

accordance with the provisions of this Order.

CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
6.1

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

24

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

25

Scheduling Order.

27

6.2

Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute

6.3

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

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

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

6

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

7

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

challenge.

ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
7.1

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

11

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

12

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

13

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

14

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

15

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

16

DISPOSITION).

17

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

18

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

19

authorized under this Order.

20

7.2

Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless

21

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

22

Receiving Party may disclose any information or item designated

23

CONFIDENTIAL only to:

24

(a)

the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this Action,

as well as employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably

produced by Non-Parties in connection with this litigation is protected by the
remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in these provisions should be

INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE
PROTECTED MATERIAL
When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain

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
Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify
whatever procedure may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for
production without prior privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence
502(d) and (e), insofar as the parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure

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.

7

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

8

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

9

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

10

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

11

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

12

Order.

13

12.3 Filing Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any

14

Protected Material must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5. Protected Material

15

may only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the

16

specific Protected Material at issue. If a Party's request to file Protected Material

17

under seal is denied by the court, then the Receiving Party may file the information

18

in the public record unless otherwise instructed by the court.

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

21

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

22

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

23

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

24

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

25

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

26

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

27

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

28

VIOLATION OF THIS ORDER
Any violation of this Order may be punished by any and all appropriate
