TO THE HONORABLE COURT, ALL PARTIES AND THEIR

2 ATTORNEYS OF RECORD:
In order to facilitate discovery in the above-caption matter, Plaintiff

3

4 Catherine Ann Gallagher (“Plaintiff”) and Defendant Swarovski North America
5 Limited (“Defendant”) hereby agree to the following Jointly Stipulated Protective
6 Order concerning the CONFIDENTIAL treatment of certain documents and
7 information.
8 1.

PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS

9

Disclosure and discovery activity in this action are likely to involve

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

22

23 confidential for tactical reasons and that nothing be so designated without a good
24 faith belief that it has been maintained in a confidential, non-public manner, and
25 there is good cause why it should not be part of the public record of this case.
26 2.

6 or without prejudice; and (2) final judgment herein after the completion and
7 exhaustion of all appeals, rehearings, remands, trials, or reviews of this action,
8 including the time limits for filing any motions or applications for extension of time
9 pursuant to applicable law.
10 5.

DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL

11

5.1

Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection.

12 Each Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under
13 this Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that
14 qualifies under the appropriate standards. The Designating Party must designate for
15 protection only those parts of material, documents, items, or oral or written
16 communications that qualify – so that other portions of the material, documents,
17 items, or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept
18 unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order.
19

Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations

20 that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper
21 purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber or retard the case development process or
22 to impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) expose the
23 Designating Party to sanctions.
24

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

25 designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must
26 promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the mistaken designation.
27

5.2

Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in

28 this Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise
stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection
SMRH:4849-4073-9495.1

-6-

1 under this Order must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or
2 produced.
3
4

Designation in conformity with this Order requires:
(a)

for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic

5 documents, but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial
6 proceedings), that the Producing Party affix the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” to each
7 page that contains protected material. If only a portion or portions of the material on
8 a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the
9 protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins).
10

A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents or materials

11 available for inspection need not designate them for protection until after the
12 inspecting Party has indicated which material it would like copied and produced.
13 During the inspection and before the designation, all of the material made available
14 for inspection shall be deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has
15 identified the documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party must
16 determine which documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this
17 Order. Then, before producing the specified documents, the Producing Party must
18 affix the “CONFIDENTIAL” legend to each page that contains Protected Material.
19 If only a portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the
20 Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making
21 appropriate markings in the margins).
22

(b) for testimony given in deposition or in other pretrial or trial

23 proceedings, that the Designating Party identify on the record, before the close of
24 the deposition, hearing, or other proceeding, all protected testimony.
25

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

26 for any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on
27 the exterior of the container or containers in which the information or item is stored
28 the legend “CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a portion or portions of the information or
SMRH:4849-4073-9495.1

-7-

1 item warrant protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify
2 the protected portion(s).
3

5.3

Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent

4 failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive
5 the Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such material.
6 Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable
7 efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this
8 Order.
9 6.
10

CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
6.1

Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a

11 designation of confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the Court’s
12 Scheduling Order. Unless a prompt challenge to a Designating Party’s
13 confidentiality designation is necessary to avoid foreseeable, substantial unfairness,
14 unnecessary economic burdens, or a significant disruption or delay of the litigation,
15 a Party does not waive its right to challenge a confidentiality designation by electing
16 not to mount a challenge promptly after the original designation is disclosed.
17

6.2

Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute

18 resolution process by providing written notice of each designation it is challenging
19 and describing the basis for each challenge. To avoid ambiguity as to whether a
20 challenge has been made, the written notice must recite that the challenge to
21 confidentiality is being made in accordance with this specific paragraph of the
22 Protective Order. The parties shall attempt to resolve each challenge in good faith
23 and must begin the process by conferring directly (in voice to voice dialogue; other
24 forms of communication are not sufficient) within 14 days of the date of service of
25 notice. In conferring, the Challenging Party must explain the basis for its belief that
26 the confidentiality designation was not proper and must give the Designating Party
27 an opportunity to review the designated material, to reconsider the circumstances,
28 and, if no change in designation is offered, to explain the basis for the chosen
designation. A Challenging Party may proceed to the next stage of the challenge
SMRH:4849-4073-9495.1

-8-

1 process only if it has engaged in this meet and confer process first or establishes
2 that the Designating Party is unwilling to participate in the meet and confer process
3 in a timely manner.
4

6.3

Judicial Intervention. If the Parties cannot resolve a challenge

5 without court intervention, the Designating Party shall file and serve a motion to
6 retain confidentiality under Civil Local Rules 7-4 through 7-8 (and in compliance
7 with Civil Local Rule 79-5, if applicable) within 21 days of the initial notice of
8 challenge or within 14 days of the parties agreeing that the meet and confer process
9 will not resolve their dispute, whichever is earlier. Each such motion must be
10 accompanied by a competent declaration affirming that the movant has complied
11 with the meet and confer requirements imposed in the preceding paragraph. Failure
12 by the Designating Party to make such a motion including the required declaration
13 within 21 days (or 14 days, if applicable) shall automatically waive the
14 confidentiality designation for each challenged designation. In addition, the
15 Challenging Party may file a motion challenging a confidentiality designation at
16 any time if there is good cause for doing so, including a challenge to the designation
17 of a deposition transcript or any portions thereof. Any motion brought pursuant to
18 this provision must be accompanied by a competent declaration affirming that the
19 movant has complied with the meet and confer requirements imposed by the
20 preceding paragraph.
21

The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on the

22 Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper purpose
23 (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may
24 expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating Party has waived
25 or withdrawn the confidentiality designation, all parties shall continue to afford the
26 material in question the level of protection to which it is entitled under the
27 Producing Party’s designation until the Court rules on the challenge.

ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

2

7.1

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

3 disclosed or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this
4 case only for prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this litigation. Such
5 Protected Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the
6 conditions described in this Order. When the litigation has been terminated, a
7 Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of section 13 below (FINAL
8 DISPOSITION).
9

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

10 location and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons
11 authorized under this Order.
12

7.2

13

Unless otherwise ordered by the court or permitted in writing by the

Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items.

14 Designating Party, a Receiving Party may disclose any information or item
15 designated “CONFIDENTIAL” only to:
16

(a)

the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this action, as

17 well as employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably
18 necessary to disclose the information for this litigation;
19

(b)

the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel) of

20 the Receiving Party with a need to know;
21

(c)

Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom

22 disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the
23 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);
24

(d)

the court and its personnel;

25

(e)

court reporters and their staff, professional jury or trial consultants,

26 mock jurors, and Professional Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary
27 for this litigation and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be
28 Bound” (Exhibit A); during their depositions, witnesses in the action to whom
disclosure is reasonably necessary and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and
SMRH:4849-4073-9495.1

-10-

1 Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A), unless otherwise agreed by the Designating
2 Party or ordered by the court. Pages of transcribed deposition testimony or exhibits to
3 depositions that reveal Protected Material must be separately bound by the court
4 reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone except as permitted under this
5 Stipulated Protective Order.
(f)

6

the author or recipient of a document containing the information or

7 a custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information.
(g)

8

any mediator or settlement officer, and their supporting personnel,

9 mutually agreed upon by any of the parties engaged in settlement discussions.
10 8.
11
12

PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED
IN OTHER LITIGATION
If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation

13 that compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this action as
14 “CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must:
15

(a)

promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification

16 shall include a copy of the subpoena or court order;
17

(b)

promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or

18 order to issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the
19 subpoena or order is subject to this Protective Order. Such notification shall include
20 a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order; and
21

(c)

cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be

22 pursued by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.
23

If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with

24 the subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this
25 action as “CONFIDENTIAL” before a determination by the court from which the
26 subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s
27 permission. The Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking
28 protection in that court of its confidential material – and nothing in these provisions
SMRH:4849-4073-9495.1

-11-

1 should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this action
2 to disobey a lawful directive from another court.
3 9.
4
5

A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE
PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION
(a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a

6 Non-Party in this action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information
7 produced by Non-Parties in connection with this litigation is protected by the
8 remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in these provisions should be
9 construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking 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 information in its possession, and the Party is
12 subject to an agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s
13 confidential information, then the Party shall:
14

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

15 Party that some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality
16 agreement with a Non-Party;
17

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

18 Protective Order in this litigation, the relevant discovery request(s), and a
19 reasonably specific description of the information requested; and
20

(3) make the information requested available for inspection by the

21 Non-Party.
22

(c) If the Non-Party fails to object or seek a protective order from this

23 court within 14 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the
24 Receiving Party may produce the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive
25 to the discovery request. If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the
26 Receiving Party shall not produce any information in its possession or control that
27 is subject to the confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a
28 determination by the court. Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall
SMRH:4849-4073-9495.1

-12-

1 bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in this court of its Protected
2 Material.
3 10.

UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

4

If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed

5 Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this
6 Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in
7 writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts
8 to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform the person
9 or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this
10 Order, and (d) request such person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment and
11 Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
12 11.
13
14

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

15 inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection,
16 the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil
17 Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify whatever procedure
18 may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for production without prior
19 privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) and (e), insofar as the
20 parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure of a communication or
21 information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work product protection, the
22 parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated protective order submitted
23 to the court.
24 12.
25

MISCELLANEOUS
12.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of

26 any person to seek its modification by the court in the future.
27
12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this
28 Protective Order no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to
disclosing or producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in this
SMRH:4849-4073-9495.1

-13-

1 Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on any
2 ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective Order.
12.3

3

Filing Protected Material. Without written permission from the

4 Designating Party or a court order secured after appropriate notice to all interested
5 persons, a Party may not file in the public record in this action any Protected Material.
6 A Party that seeks to file under seal any Protected Material must comply with Civil
7 Local Rule 79-5. Protected Material may only be filed under seal pursuant to a court
8 order authorizing the sealing of the specific Protected Material at issue. Pursuant to
9 Civil Local Rule 79-5, a sealing order will issue only upon a request establishing that
10 the Protected Material at issue is privileged, protectable as a trade secret, or otherwise
11 entitled to protection under the law. If a Receiving Party's request to file Protected
12 Material under seal pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5.2.2 is denied by the court, then
13 the Receiving Party may file the information in the public record pursuant to Civil
14 Local Rule 79-5.2.2(b)(ii) unless otherwise instructed by the Court.
15 13.

FINAL DISPOSITION

16

Within 60 days after the final disposition of this action, as defined in

17 paragraph 4, each Receiving Party must return all Protected Material to the
18 Producing Party or destroy such material. As used in this subdivision, “all Protected
19 Material” includes all copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries, and any other
20 format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material. Whether the
21 Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the Receiving Party must submit a
22 written certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the same person or entity, to
23 the Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that (1) identifies (by category, where
24 appropriate) all the Protected Material that was returned or destroyed and (2)
25 affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any copies, abstracts, compilations,
26 summaries or any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected
27 Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are entitled to retain an archival
28 copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition, and hearing transcripts, legal
memoranda, correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert reports, attorney
SMRH:4849-4073-9495.1

-14-

1 work product, and consultant and expert work product, even if such materials
2 contain Protected Material. Any such archival copies that contain or constitute
3 Protected Material remain subject to this Protective Order as set forth in Section 4
4 (DURATION).
