A. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS
20
As the parties have represented that discovery in this action is likely to
21
involve production of confidential, proprietary, privileged or private information or
22
information protected by the work product doctrine for which special protection
23
from public disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this
24
litigation may be warranted.
25
petition the Court to enter the following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties
26
acknowledge that this Order does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or
27
responses to discovery.
28
1
Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and
The parties further acknowledge that the protection it
CASE NO. 2:17-CV-05879 DMG (JCx)
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
1
affords from public disclosure and use extends only to the limited information or
2
items that are entitled to confidential, privileged or work product treatment under
3
the applicable legal principles. Further, the parties acknowledge, as set forth in
4
Section 12.3, below, this Protective Order does not entitle the parties to file
5
confidential information under seal. Rather, when the parties seek permission from
6
the court to file material under seal, the parties must comply with Civil Local Rule
7
79-5 and with any pertinent orders of the assigned District Judge and Magistrate
8
Judge.
B. GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT
9
10
In light of the nature of the claims and allegations in this case and the parties’
11
representations that discovery in this case will involve the production of
12
confidential, privileged and work-product doctrine protected records, and in order to
13
expedite the flow of information, to facilitate the prompt resolution of disputes over
14
confidentiality and privilege of discovery materials, to adequately protect
15
information the parties are entitled to keep confidential and privileged, to ensure that
16
the parties are permitted reasonable necessary uses of such material in connection
17
with this action, to address their handling of such material at the end of the
18
litigation, and to serve the ends of justice, a protective order for such information is
19
justified in this matter. The parties shall not designate any information/documents
20
as confidential or privileged/work product without a good faith belief, in the case of
21
confidential information/documents, that such information/documents have been
22
maintained in a confidential, non-public manner, and that there is good cause or a
23
compelling reason why it should not be part of the public record of this case or, in
24
the
25
information/documents are subject to protection under the attorney-client privilege
26
and/or the work product doctrine.

DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
2
5.1
Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection.
3
Each Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under
4
this Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that
5
qualifies under the appropriate standards. The Designating Party must designate for
6
protection only those parts of material, documents, items, or oral or written
7
communications that qualify so that other portions of the material, documents,
8
items, or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept
9
unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order.
10
Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations
11
that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper
12
purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the case development process or to impose
13
unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Designating
14
Party to sanctions.
15
If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it
16
designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must
17
promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the inapplicable designation.
18
5.2
Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in
19
this Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of Section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise
20
stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection
21
under this Order must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or
22
produced.
23
24
Designation in conformity with this Order requires:
(a)
for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic
25
documents, but excluding transcripts of depositions), that the Producing Party affix
26
at a minimum, the legend “CONFIDENTIAL,” “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL --
27
ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” or “PRIVILEGED/WORK PRODUCT” to each
28
6
CASE NO. 2:17-CV-05879 DMG (JCx)
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
1
page that contains protected material. If only a portion or portions of the material on
2
a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the
3
protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins).
4
A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents available for inspection
5
need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated
6
which documents it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and
7
before the designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be
8
deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has identified the
9
documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine which
10
documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order. Then,
11
before producing the specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the
12
“CONFIDENTIAL”, “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL -- ATTORNEYS’ EYES
13
ONLY” or “PRIVILEGED/WORK PRODUCT” legend to each page that contains
14
Protected Material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies
15
for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s)
16
(e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins).
(b) for testimony given in depositions that the Designating Party identifies
17
18
on the record, before the close of the deposition as protected testimony.
19
(c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and
20
for any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on
21
the exterior of the container or containers in which the information is stored the
22
legend “CONFIDENTIAL,” “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL -- ATTORNEYS’ EYES
23
ONLY” or “PRIVILEGED/WORK PRODUCT.” If only a portion or portions of
24
the information warrants protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable,
25
shall identify the protected portion(s).
26
27
28
5.3
Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent
failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive
7
CASE NO. 2:17-CV-05879 DMG (JCx)
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
1
the Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such material.
2
Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable
3
efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this
4
Order.
5
6.
CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
6
6.1
Timing of Challenges.
Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a
7
designation of confidentiality or privilege at any time that is consistent with the
8
Court’s Scheduling Order.
6.2
9
10
Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute
resolution process under Local Rule 37-1 et seq.
6.3
11
The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on
12
the Designating Party.
Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper
13
purpose (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other
14
parties) may expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating
15
Party has waived or withdrawn the confidentiality designation, all parties shall
16
continue to afford the material in question the level of protection to which it is
17
entitled under the Producing Party’s designation until the Court rules on the
18
challenge.
19
7.
ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
20
7.1
Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is
21
disclosed or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this
22
Action only for prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this Action. Such
23
Protected Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the
24
conditions described in this Order. When the Action has been terminated, a
25
Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of Section 13 below.

4
Non-Party in this Action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL,” “HIGHLY
5
CONFIDENTIAL -- ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” or “PRIVILEGED/WORK
6
PRODUCT.” Such information produced by Non-Parties in connection with this
7
litigation is protected by the remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in
8
these provisions should be construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking
9
additional protections.
10
(b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to
11
produce a Non-Party’s confidential or privileged information in its possession, and
12
the Party is subject to an agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-
13
Party’s confidential or privileged information, then the Party shall:
14
(1) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party
15
that some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality or
16
privilege agreement with a Non-Party;
17
(2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated
18
Protective Order in this Action, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably

called for by Local Rules 45-1 and 37-1, et seq. within 14 days of receiving the
24
notice and accompanying information or fails contemporaneously to notify the
25
Receiving Party that it has done so, the Receiving Party may produce the Non-

Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this
12
Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in writing the
13
Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts to retrieve
14
all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform the person or persons to
15
whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this Order, and

PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE PROTECTED
MATERIAL
20
When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain
21
inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection,
22
the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil
23
Procedure 26(b)(5)(B).
24
procedure may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for production
25
without prior privilege review.
This provision is not intended to modify whatever
26
Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) and (e), no production or

3
documents relating to the subject matter of that information or those items; or any
4
other communications or documents relating to the parties who sent or received or
5
are named in that information or those items. Accordingly, as is set forth explicitly
6
in Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) and (e), the production and disclosure of any
7
information or items designated in this Action as “PRIVILEGED/WORK
8
PRODUCT” shall not constitute a waiver of any privilege or protection in this
9
Action or any other federal or state proceeding and the non-waiver provided for in
10
this Stipulated Protective Order shall be binding forever on each and every Party
11
and Non-Party who has existed, exists or will exist at any time. Without limiting the
12
foregoing, the existence of this Stipulated Protective Order shall not in any way
13
impair or affect the legal right of the Designating Party of information or items
14
designated in this Action as “PRIVILEGED/WORK PRODUCT” to assert privilege
15
claims for the information or items produced in any other actions, shall not effect a
16
waiver, and shall not be used to argue that any waiver of any privilege or protection
17
has occurred by virtue of any disclosure or production of this information and these
18
items in this Action or any other litigation or proceeding.

MISCELLANEOUS
20
12.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any
21
person to seek its modification by the Court in the future.
22
12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections.
No Party waives any right it
23
otherwise would have to object to disclosing or producing any information or item
24
on any ground. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on any ground to use
25
in evidence of any of the material covered by this Stipulated Protective Order.
