A. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS
2
3
Discovery in this action is likely to involve production of confidential,
4
proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public
5
disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may
6
be warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to
7
enter the following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this
8
Order does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to
9
discovery and that the protection it affords from public disclosure and use extends
10
only to the limited information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment
11
under the applicable legal principles.
12
13
B. GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT
14
15
This action is likely to involve trade secrets, customer and pricing lists and
16
other valuable research, development, commercial, financial technical and/or
17
proprietary information for which special protection from public disclosure and
18
from use for any purpose other than prosecution of this action is warranted. Such
19
confidential and proprietary materials and information consist of, among other
20
things, confidential business or financial information, information regarding
21
purchase and sale prices of fabric or garments by suppliers, manufacturers,
22
importers, distributors or fashion retailers, information regarding confidential
23
business practices, information regarding the creation, purchase or sale of graphics
24
used on textiles and garments, or other confidential commercial information
25
(including information implicating privacy rights of third parties), information
26
generally unavailable to the public, or which may be privileged or otherwise
27
protected from disclosure under state or federal rules, court rules, case decisions, or
28
common law. Accordingly, to expedite the flow of information, to facilitate the
2
[PROPOSED] ORDER
1
prompt resolution of disputes over confidentiality of discovery materials, to
2
adequately protect information the parties are entitled to keep confidential, to
3
ensure that the parties are permitted reasonable necessary uses of such material in
4
preparation for and in the conduct of trial, to address their handling at the end of
5
the litigation, and serve the ends of justice, a protective order for such information
6
is justified in this matter. It is the intent of the parties that information will not be
7
designated as confidential for tactical reasons and that nothing be so designated
8
without a good faith belief that it has been maintained in a confidential, non-public
9
manner, and there is good cause why it should not be part of the public record of
10
11
12
13
this case.
C. ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF PROCEDURE FOR FILING UNDER
SEAL
The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 12.3, below, that
14
this Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential
15
information under seal; Local Civil Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must
16
be followed and the standards that will be applied when a party seeks permission
17
from the court to file material under seal.
18
There is a strong presumption that the public has a right of access to judicial
19
proceedings and records in civil cases. In connection with non-dispositive
20
motions, good cause must be shown to support a filing under seal. See Kamakana
21
v. City and County of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1176 (9th Cir. 2006), Phillips v.
22
Gen. Motors Corp., 307 F.3d 1206, 1210-11 (9th Cir. 2002), Makar-Welbon v.
23
Sony Electrics, Inc., 187 F.R.D. 576, 577 (E.D. Wis. 1999) (even stipulated
24
protective orders require good cause showing), and a specific showing of good
25
cause or compelling reasons with proper evidentiary support and legal justification,
26
must be made with respect to Protected Material that a party seeks to file under
27
seal. The parties’ mere designation of Disclosure or Discovery Material as
28
CONFIDENTIAL does not—without the submission of competent evidence by
3
[PROPOSED] ORDER
1
declaration, establishing that the material sought to be filed under seal qualifies as
2
confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable—constitute good cause.
3
Further, if a party requests sealing related to a dispositive motion or trial,
4
then compelling reasons, not only good cause, for the sealing must be shown, and
5
the relief sought shall be narrowly tailored to serve the specific interest to be
6
protected. See Pintos v. Pacific Creditors Ass’n, 605 F.3d 665, 677-79 (9th Cir.
7
2010). For each item or type of information, document, or thing sought to be filed
8
or introduced under seal in connection with a dispositive motion or trial, the party
9
seeking protection must articulate compelling reasons, supported by specific facts
10
and legal justification, for the requested sealing order. Again, competent evidence
11
supporting the application to file documents under seal must be provided by
12
declaration.
13
Any document that is not confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable
14
in its entirety will not be filed under seal if the confidential portions can be
15
redacted. If documents can be redacted, then a redacted version for public
16
viewing, omitting only the confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable
17
portions of the document, shall be filed. Any application that seeks to file
18
documents under seal in their entirety should include an explanation of why
19
redaction is not feasible.
20

22
Protected Material (as defined above), but also (1) any information copied or
23
extracted from Protected Material; (2) all copies, excerpts, summaries, or
24
compilations of Protected Material; and (3) any testimony, conversations, or
25
presentations by Parties or their Counsel that might reveal Protected Material.
26
27
Any use of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by the orders of the
trial judge. This Order does not govern the use of Protected Material at trial.
28
6
[PROPOSED] ORDER
1
4.
2
Once a case proceeds to trial, information that was designated as
3
CONFIDENTIAL or maintained pursuant to this protective order used or
4
introduced as an exhibit at trial becomes public and will be presumptively
5
available to all members of the public, including the press, unless compelling
6
reasons supported by specific factual findings to proceed otherwise are made to the
7
trial judge in advance of the trial. See Kamakana, 447 F.3d at 1180-81
8
(distinguishing “good cause” showing for sealing documents produced in
9
discovery from “compelling reasons” standard when merits-related documents are
10
part of court record). Accordingly, for such materials, the terms of this protective
11
order do not extend beyond the commencement of the trial.
12
5.
13
DURATION
DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection.
14
Each Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under
15
this Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that
16
qualifies under the appropriate standards. The Designating Party must designate for
17
protection only those parts of material, documents, items, or oral or written
18
communications that qualify so that other portions of the material, documents,
19
items, or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept
20
unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order.
21
Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations
22
that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper
23
purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the case development process or to
24
impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the
25
Designating Party to sanctions.
26
If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it
27
designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must
28
promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the inapplicable designation.
7
[PROPOSED] ORDER
1
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 must 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 at a minimum, the legend
10
“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES
11
ONLY”, to each page that
12
contains protected material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a page
13
qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the
14
protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins).
15
A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents available for inspection
16
need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated
17
which documents it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and
18
before the designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be
19
deemed “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” After the
20
inspecting Party has identified the
21
documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine
22
which documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order.
23
Then, before producing the specified documents, the Producing Party must affix
24
the appropriate legend “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL –
25
ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”) to each page that contains Protected Material. If
26
only a portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the
27
Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making
28
appropriate markings in the margins).
8
[PROPOSED] ORDER
(b) for testimony given in depositions that the Designating Party identify
1
2
the Disclosure or Discovery Material on the record, before the close of the
3
deposition all protected testimony.
4
(c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and
5
for any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on
6
the exterior of the container or containers in which the information is stored the
7
legend “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’
8
EYES ONLY.” If only a portion or portions of the information
9
warrants protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify
10
the protected portion(s).
5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent
11
12
failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive
13
the Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such
14
material. Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make
15
reasonable efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the
16
provisions of this Order.
17
18
19
6.
CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
6.1 Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a
20
designation of confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the Court’s
21
Scheduling Order.
22
23
24
6.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute
resolution process under Local Rule 37.1 et seq.
6.3 The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on
25
the Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper
26
purpose (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other
27
parties) may expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating
28
Party has waived or withdrawn the confidentiality designation, all parties shall
9
[PROPOSED] ORDER
1
continue to afford the material in question the level of protection to which it is
2
entitled under the Producing Party’s designation until the Court rules on the
3
challenge.
4
5
7.
ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
6
7.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is
7
disclosed or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this
8
Action only for prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this Action. Such
9
Protected Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons and under
10
the conditions described in this Order. When the Action has been terminated, a
11
Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of section 13 below (FINAL
12
DISPOSITION).
13
Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a
14
location and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons
15
authorized under this Order.
16
7.2 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless
17
otherwise ordered by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a
18
Receiving Party may disclose any information or item designated
19
“CONFIDENTIAL” only to:
20
(a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this Action, as
21
well as employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably
22
necessary to disclose the information for this Action;
23
24
25
(b) the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel) of
the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action;
(c) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom
26
disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed the
27
“Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);
28
(d) the court and its personnel;
10
[PROPOSED] ORDER
1
(e) court reporters and their staff;
2
(f) professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, and Professional
3
Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have
4
signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);
(g) the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a
5
6
custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information;
(h) during their depositions, witnesses, and attorneys for witnesses, in the
7
8
Action to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary provided: (1) the deposing
9
party requests that the witness sign the form attached as Exhibit 1 hereto; and (2)
10
they will not be permitted to keep any confidential information unless they sign the
11
“Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A), unless otherwise
12
agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the court. Pages of transcribed
13
deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material may
14
be separately bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone
15
except as permitted under this Stipulated Protective Order; and
(i) any mediator or settlement officer, and their supporting personnel,
16
17
mutually agreed upon by any of the parties engaged in settlement discussions.
18
7.3
Disclosure of “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATORNEY’S EYES
19
ONLY” Information or Items. Unless otherwise ordered by the court or permitted
20
in writing by the Designating Party, any information or item designated “HIGHLY
21
CONFIDENTIAL – ATORNEY’S EYES ONLY” may be disclosed to each of the
22
individuals identified in section 7.2 supra, except for the individuals described in
23
subsection (b) of section 7.2, i.e. the officers, directors, and employees (including
24
House Counsel) of the Receiving Party.
25
26
8.
PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED
27
IN OTHER LITIGATION
28
If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation
11
[PROPOSED] ORDER
1
that compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this Action as
2
“CONFIDENTIAL” “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES
3
ONLY” that Party must:
(a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification
4
5
shall include a copy of the subpoena or court order;
(b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order
6
7
to issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the
8
subpoena or order is subject to this Protective Order. Such notification shall
9
include a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order; and
(c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be
10
11
pursued by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.
12
If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with
13
the subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this
14
action as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’
15
EYES ONLY” before a determination by the court from which the
16
subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s
17
permission. The Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking
18
protection in that court of its confidential material and nothing in these provisions
19
should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this Action
20
to disobey a lawful directive from another court.
21
22
9.
A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE
23
PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION
24
(a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a
25
Non-Party in this Action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY
26
CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” Such information
27
produced by Non-Parties in connection with this litigation is protected by the
28
remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in these provisions should be
12
[PROPOSED] ORDER
1
construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional protections.
(b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to
2
3
produce a Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is
4
subject to an agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s
5
confidential information, then the Party shall:
(1) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party
6
7
that some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality
8
agreement with a Non-Party;
(2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated
9
10
Protective Order in this Action, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably
11
specific description of the information requested; and
(3) make the information requested available for inspection by the
12
13
Non-Party, if requested.
(c) If the Non-Party fails to seek a protective order from this court within
14
15
14 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving
16
Party may produce the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the
17
discovery request. If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving
18
Party shall not produce any information in its possession or control that is subject
19
to the confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a determination by the
20
court. Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the burden and
21
expense of seeking protection in this court of its Protected Material.
22
23
10.
UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
24
If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has
25
disclosed Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized
26
under this Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a)
27
notify in writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its
28
best efforts to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform
13
[PROPOSED] ORDER
1
the person or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms
2
of this Order, and (d) request such person or persons to execute the
3
“Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit
4
A.
5
6
11.
INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE
7
PROTECTED MATERIAL
8
When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain
9
inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other
10
protection, the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal
11
Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify
12
whatever procedure may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for
13
production without prior privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence
14
502(d) and (e), insofar as the parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure
15
of a communication or information covered by the attorney-client privilege or
16
work product protection, the parties may incorporate their agreement in the
17
stipulated protective order submitted to the court.
18
19
20
21
12.
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.
22
12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this
23
Protective Order no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to
24
disclosing or producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in
25
this Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on
26
any ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective
27
Order.
28
12.3 Filing Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any
14
[PROPOSED] ORDER
1
Protected Material must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5. Protected Material
2
may only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the
3
specific Protected Material at issue. If a Party's request to file Protected Material
4
under seal is denied by the court, then the Receiving Party may file the information
5
in the public record unless otherwise instructed by the court.
6
7
13.
FINAL DISPOSITION
8
After the final disposition of this Action, as defined in paragraph 4, within
9
60 days of a written request by the Designating Party, each Receiving Party must
10
return all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such material. As
11
used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts,
12
compilations, summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the
13
Protected Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the
14
Receiving Party must submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if
15
not the same person or entity, to the Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that
16
(1) identifies (by category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was
17
returned or destroyed and (2)affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any
18
copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or
19
capturing any of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel
20
are entitled to retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial,
21
deposition, and hearing transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition
22
and trial exhibits, expert reports, attorney work product, and consultant and expert
23
work product, even if such materials contain Protected Material. Any such archival
24
copies that contain or constitute Protected Material remain subject to this
25
Protective Order as set forth in Section 4 (DURATION).
