CASE NO. 2:18-cv-04007-MWF

A.
3
Discovery in this action is likely to involve production of confidential, proprietary,
PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS
4
or private information for which special protection from public disclosure and from use
5
for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may be warranted. Accordingly, the
6
parties hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to enter the following Stipulated
7
Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this Order does not confer blanket
8
protections on all disclosures or responses to discovery and that the protection it affords
9
from public disclosure and use extends only to the limited information or items that are
10
entitled to confidential treatment under the applicable legal principles. The parties
11
further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 12.3, below, that this Stipulated Protective
12
Order does not entitle them to file confidential information under seal; Civil Local Rule
13
79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be followed and the standards that will be
14
applied when a party seeks permission from the court to file material under seal.

16
This action is likely to involve trade secrets and other valuable research,
GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT
17
development, commercial, financial, technical and/or proprietary information for which
18
special protection from public disclosure and from use for any purpose other than
19
prosecution of this action is warranted. Such confidential and proprietary materials and
20
information consist of, among other things, confidential business or financial
21
information, information regarding confidential business practices, or other confidential
22
research, development, or commercial information (including information implicating
23
privacy rights of third parties), information otherwise generally unavailable to the public,
24
or which may be privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure under state or federal
25
statutes, court rules, case decisions, or common law. Accordingly, to expedite the flow
26
of information, to facilitate the prompt resolution of disputes over confidentiality of
27
discovery materials, to adequately protect information the parties are entitled to keep
28
confidential, to protect consumers’ privacy rights until such time a class is certified, to

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1
ensure that the parties are permitted reasonable necessary uses of such material in
2
preparation for trial, to address their handling at the end of the litigation, and serve the
3
ends of justice, a protective order for such information is justified in this matter. It is the
4
intent of the parties that information will not be designated as confidential for tactical
5
reasons and that nothing be so designated without a good faith belief that it has been
6
maintained in a confidential, non-public manner, and there is good cause why it should
7
not be part of the public record of this case. Nothing in this Order is intended to change
8
redaction rules under the governing rules and/or case law.

5.
20
DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
5.1
Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection. Each
21
Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under this Order
22
must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that qualifies under the
23
appropriate standards. The Designating Party must designate for protection only those
24
parts of material, documents, items, or oral or written communications that qualify so
25
that other portions of the material, documents, items, or communications for which
26
protection is not warranted are not swept unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order.
27
Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations that are
28
shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper purpose (e.g., to
4
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
CASE NO. 2:18-cv-04007
1
unnecessarily encumber the case development process or to impose unnecessary
2
expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the 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 this
7
Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise stipulated or
8
ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection under this Order
9
must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or produced.
10
Designation in conformity with this Order requires:
11
(a)
For information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic documents,
12
but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial
13
proceedings), that the Producing Party affix at a minimum, the legend
14
“CONFIDENTIAL” (hereinafter “CONFIDENTIAL legend”), to each page
15
that contains protected material. If only a portion or portions of the material
16
on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly
17
identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in
18
the margins).
19
20
A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents available for
21
inspection need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting
22
Party has indicated which documents it would like copied and produced.
23
During the inspection and before the designation, all of the material made
24
available for inspection shall be deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the
25
inspecting Party has identified the documents it wants copied and produced,
26
the Producing Party must determine which documents, or portions thereof,
27
qualify for protection under this Order. Then, before producing the
28
specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the “CONFIDENTIAL
5
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
CASE NO. 2:18-cv-04007
1
legend” to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a portion or
2
portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing
3
Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making
4
appropriate markings in the margins).
5
(b)
For testimony given in depositions that the Designating Party identify,
6
within 30 days after the transcript is delivered, as Protected Material. All
7
deposition testimony taken in this case shall be treated as Protected Material
8
until the expiration of the thirtieth day after the transcript is delivered to any
9
party or the witness. Within this time period, a Designating Party may serve
10
a Notice of Designation to all parties of record as to specific portions of the
11
testimony that are designated Protected Material, and thereafter only those
12
portions identified in the Notice of Designation shall be protected by the
13
terms of this Order.
14
(c)
For information produced in some form other than documentary and for any
15
other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on
16
the exterior of the container or containers in which the information is stored
17
the legend “CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a portion or portions of the
18
information warrants protection, the Producing Party, to the extent
19
practicable, shall identify the protected portion(s).
20
5.3
Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent failure
21
to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive the
22
Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such material. Upon
23
timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable efforts to
24
assure that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this Order.
25
6.
26
27
CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
6.1
Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a designation
of confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the Court’s Scheduling Order.
28
6
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
CASE NO. 2:18-cv-04007
1
2
6.2
Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute resolution
process under Local Rule 37.1 et seq.
3
6.3
The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on the
4
Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper purpose (e.g.,
5
to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the
6
Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating Party has waived or withdrawn
7
the confidentiality designation, all parties shall continue to afford the material in
8
question the level of protection to which it is entitled under the Producing Party’s
9
designation until the Court rules on the challenge.
10
11
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 Action
13
only for prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this Action. Such Protected
14
Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the conditions
15
described in this Order. When the Action has been terminated, a Receiving Party must
16
comply with the provisions of section 13 below (FINAL 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 otherwise
21
ordered by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a Receiving Party
22
may disclose any information or item designated “CONFIDENTIAL” only to:
23
(a)
the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this Action, as
24
well as employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is
25
reasonably necessary to disclose the information for this Action;
26
(b)
the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel) of
27
the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for
28
this Action;
7
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
CASE NO. 2:18-cv-04007
1
(c)
Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party, other than a
2
Conflicted Expert (see Section 2.4), to whom disclosure is reasonably
3
necessary for this Action and who have signed the “Acknowledgment
4
and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);
5
(d)
the court and its personnel;
6
(e)
court reporters and their staff;
7
(f)
professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, and Professional
8
Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action
9
and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be
10
11
Bound” (Exhibit A);
(g)
the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a
12
custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the
13
information;
14
(h)
during their depositions, witnesses, and attorneys for witnesses, in the
15
Action to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary provided: (1) the
16
deposing party requests that the witness sign the form attached as
17
Exhibit A hereto; and (2) they will not be permitted to keep any
18
confidential information unless they sign the “Acknowledgment and
19
Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A), unless otherwise agreed by the
20
Designating Party or ordered by the court. Pages of transcribed
21
deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected
22
Material may be separately bound by the court reporter and may not
23
be disclosed to anyone except as permitted under this Stipulated
24
Protective Order; and
25
(i)
any mediator or settlement officer, and their supporting personnel,
26
mutually agreed upon by any of the parties engaged in settlement
27
discussions.

PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN
2
OTHER LITIGATION
3
If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation that
4
compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this Action as
5
“CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must:
6
(a)
7
promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall
include a copy of the subpoena or court order;
8
(b)
9
promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order to
issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the
10
subpoena or order is subject to this Protective Order. Such notification shall
11
include a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order; and
12
(c)
cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued by
13
the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected. If the
14
Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with the
15
subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this
16
action as “CONFIDENTIAL” before a determination by the court from
17
which the subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has obtained the
18
Designating Party’s permission. The Designating Party shall bear the
19
burden and expense of seeking protection in that court of its confidential
20
material and nothing in these provisions should be construed as authorizing
21
or encouraging a Receiving Party in this Action to disobey a lawful
22
directive from another court.
23
9.
A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE PRODUCED
24
IN THIS LITIGATION
25
(a)
The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a Non-
26
Party in this Action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such
27
information produced by Non-Parties in connection with this litigation is
28
protected by the remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in
9
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
CASE NO. 2:18-cv-04007
1
these provisions should be construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from
2
seeking additional protections.
3
(b)
In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to produce
4
a Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is
5
subject to an agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s
6
confidential information, then the Party shall:
7
(1)
promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party
8
that some or all of the information requested is subject to a
9
confidentiality agreement with a Non-Party;
10
(2)
promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated
11
Protective Order in this Action, the relevant discovery request(s), and
12
a reasonably specific description of the information requested; and
13
(3)
14
make the information requested available for inspection by the NonParty, if requested.
15
(c)
If the Non-Party fails to seek a protective order from this court within 30
16
days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving
17
Party may produce the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to
18
the discovery request. If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the
19
Receiving Party shall not produce any information in its possession or
20
control that is subject to the confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party
21
before a determination by the court. Absent a court order to the contrary, the
22
Non-Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in this
23
court of its Protected Material.
24
25
10.
UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed
26
Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this
27
Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in writing
28
the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts to retrieve
10
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
CASE NO. 2:18-cv-04007
1
all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform the person or persons to
2
whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this Order, and (d) request
3
such person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound”
4
that is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
5
11.
INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE
6
PROTECTED MATERIAL
7
When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain
8
inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection, the
9
obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure
10
26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify whatever procedure may be
11
established in an e-discovery order that provides for production without prior privilege
12
review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) and (e), insofar as the parties reach
13
an agreement on the effect of disclosure of a communication or information covered by
14
the attorney-client privilege or work product protection, the parties may incorporate their
15
agreement in the stipulated protective order submitted to the court.
16
12.
17
18
19
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
20
Protective Order no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to
21
disclosing or producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in this
22
Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on any ground
23
to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective Order.
24
12.3 Filing Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any Protected
25
Material must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5. Protected Material may only be filed
26
under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the specific Protected
27
Material at issue. If a Party's request to file Protected Material under seal is denied by the
28
11
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
CASE NO. 2:18-cv-04007
1
court, then the Receiving Party may file the information in the public record unless
2
otherwise instructed by the court.
3
13.
4
FINAL DISPOSITION
After the final disposition of this Action, as defined in paragraph 4, within 60 days
5
of a written request by the Designating Party, each Receiving Party must return all
6
Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such material. As used in this
7
subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts, compilations,
8
summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material.
9
Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the Receiving Party must
10
submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the same person or
11
entity, to the Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that (1) identifies (by category,
12
where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was returned or destroyed and
13
(2)affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any copies, abstracts, compilations,
14
summaries or any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material.
15
Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are entitled to retain an archival copy of all
16
pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition, and hearing transcripts, legal memoranda,
17
correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert reports, attorney work product, and
18
consultant and expert work product, even if such materials contain Protected Material.
19
Any such archival copies that contain or constitute Protected Material remain subject to
20
this Protective Order as set forth in Section 4 (DURATION).
21
14.
22
including, without limitation, contempt proceedings and/or monetary sanctions.
Any violation of this Order may be punished by any and all appropriate measures
23
24
IT IS SO STIPULATED, THROUGH COUNSEL OF RECORD.
