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

22

proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public

23

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

24

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

25

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

26

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

27

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

28

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

2:17-cv-07123-CAS-RAO

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.

A. GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT

8

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

9

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

10

information for which special protection from public disclosure and from use for

11

any purpose other than prosecution of this action is warranted. Such confidential

12

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

13

financial information, information regarding purchase and sale prices of fabric or

14

garments by suppliers, manufacturers, importers, distributors or fashion retailers,

15

information regarding business practices, information regarding the creation,

16

purchase or sale of graphics used on textiles and garments, or other confidential

17

commercial information (including information implicating privacy rights of third

18

parties), information generally unavailable to the public, or which may be

19

privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure under state of federal rules, court

20

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

21

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

22

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

23

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

24

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

25

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

26

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

27

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

28

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

5.

DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
5.1

Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection.

19

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

20

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

21

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

22

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

23

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

24

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

25

unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order.

26

Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations

27

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

28

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

-5-

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

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

2

Designating Party to sanctions.

3

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

4

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

5

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

6

5.2

Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in

7

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

8

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

9

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

10
11
12

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

13

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

14

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

15

“CONFIDENTIAL” (hereinafter “CONFIDENTIAL legend”) or the legend

16

“ATTORNEYS EYES ONLY” (hereinafter “ATTORNEYS EYES ONLY

17

legend”), to each page that contains protected material. If only a portion or portions

18

of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must

19

clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in

20

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” or “ATTORNEYS EYES ONLY.” After the

26

inspecting Party has identified the documents it wants copied and produced, the

27

Producing Party must determine which documents, or portions thereof, qualify for

28

protection under this Order. Then, before producing the specified documents, the

ATTORNEYS AT LAW
LOS ANGELES

2:17-cv-07123-CAS-RAO

-6-

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

Producing Party must affix the “CONFIDENTIAL legend” or the “ATTORNEYS

2

EYES ONLY legend” to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a

3

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

4

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

5

appropriate markings in the margins).

6

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

7

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

8

all protected testimony.

9

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

10

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

11

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

12

legend “CONFIDENTIAL” or “ATTORNEYS EYES ONLY.” If only a portion or

13

portions of the information warrants protection, the Producing Party, to the extent

14

practicable, shall identify the protected portion(s).

15

5.3

Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent

16

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

17

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

18

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

19

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

20

provisions of this Order.

21
22
23

6.

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.

26

6.2

Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute

27

resolution process under Local Rule 37.1, et seq. Any discovery motion must

28

strictly comply with the procedures set forth in Local Rules 37-1, 37-2, and 37-3.

6.3

Burden. The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

Designating Party has waived or withdrawn the confidentiality designation, all

6

parties shall continue to afford the material in question the level of protection to

7

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

8

the challenge.

7.

ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
7.1

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

12

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

13

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

14

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

15

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

16

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

17

DISPOSITION).

18

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

19

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

20

authorized under this Order.

21

7.2

Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless

22

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

23

Receiving Party may disclose any information or item designated

24

“CONFIDENTIAL” only to:

25

PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED

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

16

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

17

“CONFIDENTIAL” or “ATTORNEYS EYES ONLY,” that Party must:

18
19

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

20

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

23

this Stipulated Protective Order; and

24

(c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued

25

by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected. If the

2

the Designating Party’s permission. The Designating Party shall bear the burden

nothing in these provisions should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a

A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE

8

PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION

9

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

10

Party in this Action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “ATTORNEYS

11

EYES ONLY.” Such information produced by Non-Parties in connection with this

12

litigation is protected by the remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in

13

these provisions should be construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking

14

additional protections.

15

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

16

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

17

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

18

confidential information, then the Party shall:

19

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

20

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

21

agreement with a Non-Party;

22

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

UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed

10

Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this

11

Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in

12

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

13

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

14

PROTECTED MATERIAL

20

INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE

When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain

21

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

22

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

23

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

24

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

25

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

26

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

27

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

28

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.

6

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

7

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

8

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

9

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

10

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

11

Order.

12

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

13

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

14

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

15

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

16

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

17

in the public record unless otherwise instructed by the court.

13.

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
