A.

PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS

5

Disclosure and discovery activity in this action are likely to involve

6

production of confidential, proprietary or private information for which special

7

protection from public disclosure and from use for any purpose other than

8

prosecuting this litigation may be warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby

9

stipulate to and petition the Court to enter the following Stipulated Protective

10

Order. The parties acknowledge that this Stipulated Protective Order does not

11

confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to discovery and that the

12

protection it affords from public disclosure and use extends only to the limited

13

information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment under the applicable

14

legal principles. The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 13.3

15

below, that this Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential

16

information under seal; Local Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be

17

followed and the standards that will be applied when a party seeks permission from

18

the Court to file material under seal. Discovery in this action is likely to involve

19

production of confidential, proprietary, or private information for which special

20

protection from public disclosure and from use for any purpose other than

21

prosecuting this litigation may be warranted.

22

B.

23

This action may involve confidential trade secrets, financial, commercial,

GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT

24

business and/or proprietary information, and medical and personal information, for

25

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

26

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

27

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

28

financial information, information regarding confidential business practices or other
2

1

confidential development or commercial information (including information

2

implicating privacy rights of third parties), private medical and personal

3

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

4

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

5

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

6

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

7

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

8

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

9

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

10

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

11

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

12

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

13

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

14

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

15

of the public record of this case.

16

C. FOR FILING UNDER SEAL

17

The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 12.3, below, that this

18

Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential information

19

under seal; Local Civil Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be followed

20

and the standards that will be applied when a party seeks permission from the court

21

to file material under seal, except that as to Local Civil Rule 79-5.2.2(b) relating to

22

documents designated by another as confidential pursuant to a Protective Order.

23

There is a strong presumption that the public has a right of access to judicial

24

proceedings and records in civil cases. In connection with non-dispositive motions,

25

good cause must be shown to support a filing under seal. See Kamakana v. City

26

and County of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1176 (9th Cir. 2006), Phillips v. Gen.

27

Motors Corp., 307 F.3d 1206, 1210-11 (9th Cir. 2002), Makar-Welbon v. Sony

28

Electrics, Inc., 187 F.R.D. 576, 577 (E.D. Wis. 1999) (even stipulated protective
3

1

orders require good cause showing), and a specific showing of good cause or

2

compelling reasons with proper evidentiary support and legal justification, must be

3

made with respect to Protected Material that a party seeks to file under seal. The

4

parties’ mere designation of Disclosure or Discovery Material as CONFIDENTIAL

5

does not—without the submission of competent evidence by declaration,

6

establishing that the material sought to be filed under seal qualifies as confidential,

7

privileged, or otherwise protectable—constitute good cause.

8
9

Further, if a party requests sealing related to a dispositive motion or trial,
then compelling reasons, not only good cause, for the sealing must be shown, and

10

the relief sought shall be narrowly tailored to serve the specific interest to be

11

protected. See Pintos v. Pacific Creditors Ass’n., 605 F.3d 665, 677-79 (9th Cir.

12

2010). For each item or type of information, document, or thing sought to be filed

13

or introduced under seal in connection with a dispositive motion or trial, the party

14

seeking protection must articulate compelling reasons, supported by specific facts

15

and legal justification, for the requested sealing order. Again, competent evidence

16

supporting the application to file documents under seal must be provided by

17

declaration.

18

Any document that is not confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable in

19

its entirety will not be filed under seal if the confidential portions can be redacted.

20

If documents can be redacted, then a redacted version for public viewing, omitting

21

only the confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable portions of the document,

22

shall be filed. Any application that seeks to file documents under seal in their

23

entirety should include an explanation of why redaction is not feasible.

11

5.

DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL

12

5.1. Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection.

13

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

14

under this Stipulated Protective Order must take care to limit any such designation

15

to specific material that qualifies under the appropriate standards. The Designating

16

Party must designate for protection only those parts of material, documents, items

17

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

18

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

19

swept unjustifiably within the ambit of this Stipulated Protective Order.
Mass, indiscriminate or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations

20
21

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

22

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

23

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

24

Designating Party to sanctions.

25

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

26

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

27

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

28

///
7

1

5.2. Manner and Timing of Designations.

2

Except as otherwise provided in this Stipulated Protective Order (see, e.g.,

3

Section 5.2(a) thru (c) below), or as otherwise stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or

4

Discovery Material that qualifies for protection under this Stipulated Protective

5

Order must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or produced, as

6

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

7
8

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

9

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

10

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

11

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

12

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

13

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

14

margins).
A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents available for

15
16

inspection need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting

17

Party has indicated which documents it would like copied and produced.

18

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

19

available for inspection shall be deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the

20

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

21

the Producing Party must determine which documents, or portions thereof,

22

qualify for protection under this Stipulated Protective Order. Then, before

23

producing the specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the

24

legend, “CONFIDENTIAL,” to each page that contains Protected Material.

25

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

26

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

27

by making appropriate markings in the margins).

28

///
8

1

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

2

prior to the conclusion of a deposition, designate whether the testimony

3

given is Confidential in its entirety or if portions thereof are so designated,

4

and if only portions are so designated, identify those portions. If the entirety

5

of the testimony is designated as Confidential, the designating party shall

6

have the right to identify more specific portions of the Testimony as to which

7

protection is sought within thirty (30) days following receipt of the

8

deposition transcript.

9

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

10

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

11

prominent place on the exterior of the container or containers in which the

12

information is stored the legend, “CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a portion or

13

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

14

extent practicable, shall identify the protected portion(s).

15

5.3. Inadvertent Failures to Designate

16

If timely corrected, an inadvertent failure to designate qualified information

17

or items does not, standing alone, waive the Designating Party’s right to secure

18

protection under this Stipulated Protective Order for such material. Upon timely

19

correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable efforts to

20

assure that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this

21

Stipulated Protective Order.

22

6.

CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS

23

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

///

27

///

28

///
9

1

6.2. Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute

2

resolution process, which shall comply with Local Rule 37-1 et seq., and with

3

Section 4 of Judge Audero’s Procedures (Mandatory Telephonic Conference for

4

Discovery Disputes”).1
6.3 Burden of Persuasion. The burden of persuasion in any such challenge

5
6

proceeding shall be on the Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those

7

made for an improper purpose (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and

8

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

9

the Designating Party has waived or withdrawn the confidentiality designation, all

10

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

11

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

12

the challenge.

13

7.

ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
7.1. Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is

14
15

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

16

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

17

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

18

conditions described in this Stipulated Protective Order. When the Action reaches a

19

final disposition, a Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of Section 13

20

below (FINAL DISPOSITION).
Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a

21
22

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

23

authorized under this Stipulated Protective Order.

24

7.2. Disclosure of CONFIDENTIAL Information or Items. Unless otherwise

25

ordered by the Court, or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a Receiving

26

Party may disclose any information or item designated “CONFIDENTIAL” only to:

27

1

28

Judge Audero’s Procedures are available at

https://www.cacd.uscourts.gov/honorable-maria-audero
10

1

(a). attorneys of record in the Proceedings and their affiliated

2

attorneys, paralegals, clerical and secretarial staff employed by such

3

attorneys and are not employees of any Party;

4

(b). outside counsel of record in this Action, as

5

well as employees of said outside counsel of record to whom it is

6

reasonably necessary to disclose the information for this Action;

7

(c). those Parties, including officers, directors, employees, insurance

8

carriers to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action;

9

(d). experts (as defined in this Stipulated Protective Order) of to whom

10

disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed

11

the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);

12

(d). the Court and its personnel;

13

(e). court reporters and their staff;

14

(f). professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, and Professional

15

Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action

16

and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be

17

Bound” (Exhibit A);

18

(g). the author or recipient of a document containing the information or

19

a custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the

20

information;

21

(h). during their depositions, witnesses, and attorneys for witnesses, in

22

the Action to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary , provided: (1)

23

the deposing party requests that the witness sign the form attached as

24

Exhibit A hereto; and (2) they will not be permitted to keep any

25

confidential information unless they sign Exhibit A, except otherwise

26

agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the Court. Pages of

27

transcribed deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal

28

Protected Material must be separately bound by the court reporter and
11

1

may not be disclosed to anyone except as permitted under this

2

Stipulated Protective Order; and

3

(i). any mediator or settlement officer, and their supporting personnel,

4

mutually agreed upon by any of the parties engaged in settlement

5

discussions.

6

8.

PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED

7

PRODUCED IN OTHER LITIGATION

8

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

9

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

10

“CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must: 1) promptly notify in writing the Designating

11

Party. Such notification shall include a copy of the subpoena or court order; 2)

12

promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order to issue in

13

the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the subpoena or order

14

is subject to this Stipulated Protective Order. Such notification shall include a copy

15

of this Stipulated Protective Order; and 3) cooperate with respect to all reasonable

16

procedures sought to be pursued by the Designating Party whose Protected Material

17

may be affected.
If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with

18
19

the subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this

20

action as “CONFIDENTIAL” before a determination by the Court from which the

21

subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s

22

permission. The Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking

23

protection in that court of its confidential material and nothing in these provisions

24

should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this Action

25

to disobey a lawful directive from another court.

PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE PRODUCED IN THIS
LITIGATION BY A NON-PARTY

2
3

9.1

4

Application.
The terms of this Stipulated Protective Order are applicable to

5

information produced by a Nonparty in this Action and designated as

6

“CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information produced by Nonparties in

7

connection with this litigation is protected by the remedies and relief

8

provided by this Stipulated Protective Order. Nothing in these

9

provisions should be construed as prohibiting a Nonparty from seeking

10

additional protections.

11
9.2

12

Notification.
In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery

13

request, to produce a Nonparty’s confidential information in its

14

possession, and the Party is subject to an agreement with the Nonparty

15

not to produce the Nonparty’s confidential information, then the Party

16

shall:

17

(a)

18

Nonparty that some or all of the information requested is subject

19

to a confidentiality agreement with a Nonparty;

20
(b)

21

request(s), and a reasonably specific description of the

23

information requested; and

24
(c)

25

Make the information requested available for inspection by the
Nonparty, if requested.

26
28

Promptly provide the Nonparty with a copy of the Stipulated
Protective Order in this Action, the relevant discovery

22

27

Promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the

///
///
13

1

9.3. Conditions of Production.
If the Nonparty fails to seek a protective order from this Court

2
3

within fourteen (14) days after receiving the notice and accompanying

4

information, the Receiving Party may produce the Nonparty’s

5

confidential information responsive to the discovery request. If the

6

Nonparty timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall not

7

produce any information in its possession or control that is subject to

8

the confidentiality agreement with the Nonparty before a

9

determination by the Court. Absent a court order to the contrary, the

10

Nonparty shall bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in

11

this Court of its Protected Material.

12

10.

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

13
14

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

15

Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately: 1) notify in

16

writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures; 2) use its best efforts

17

to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material; 3) inform the person or

18

persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this

19

Stipulated Protective Order; and 4) request such person or persons to execute the

20

“Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” form, attached hereto as Exhibit

21

A.

22

11.

23

PROTECTED MATERIAL

24

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

25

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

26

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

27

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

28

whatever procedure may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for
14

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

protective order submitted to the Court.

6

12.

12.1. Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Stipulated Protective Order

7
8

MISCELLANEOUS

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

9
10

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

11

object to disclosing or producing any information or item on any ground not

12

addressed in this Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right

13

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

14

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

15
16

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

17

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

18

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

19
