Defendant SAFECO INSURANCE COMPANY OF ILLINOIS on the other, by and

through their respective counsel, hereby stipulate and agree as follows:
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
3
4
1.
PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS
Disclosure and discovery activity in this action may involve production of
5
6
confidential, proprietary, or private information for which special protection from
7
public disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation
8
may be warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the court
9
to enter the following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this

Order does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to discovery
11
and that the protection it affords from public disclosure and use extends only to the
12
limited information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment under the
13
applicable legal principles. The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section
14
12.3, below, that this Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file
15
confidential information under seal; Civil Local Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures
16
that must be followed and the standards that will be applied when a party seeks
17
permission from the court to file material under seal.

SCOPE
The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only
3
4
Protected Material (as defined above), but also (1) any information copied or extracted
5
from Protected Material; (2) all copies, excerpts, summaries, or compilations of
6
Protected Material; and (3) any testimony, conversations, or presentations by Parties
7
or their Counsel that might reveal Protected Material. However, the protections
8
conferred by this Stipulation and Order do not cover the following information: (a)
9
any information that is in the public domain at the time of disclosure to a Receiving
10
Party or becomes part of the public domain after its disclosure to a Receiving Party as
11
a result of publication not involving a violation of this Order, including becoming part
12
of the public record through trial or otherwise; and (b) any information known to the
13
Receiving Party prior to the disclosure or obtained by the Receiving Party after the
14
disclosure from a source who obtained the information lawfully and under no
15
obligation of confidentiality to the Designating Party. Any use of Protected Material at
16
trial shall be governed by a separate agreement or order.
17
4.
DURATION
Even after final disposition of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations
18
19
imposed by this Order shall remain in effect until a Designating Party agrees
20
otherwise in writing or a court order otherwise directs. Final disposition shall be
21
deemed to be the later of (1) dismissal of all claims and defenses in this action, with or
22
without prejudice; and (2) final judgment herein after the completion and exhaustion
23
of all appeals, rehearings, remands, trials, or reviews of this action, including the time
24
limits for filing any motions or applications for extension of time pursuant to
25
applicable law.
26
5.
27
28
DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
5.1
Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection.
Each Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under this
{05948246.1}
4
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
1
Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that qualifies
2
under the appropriate standards. The Designating Party must designate for protection
3
only those parts of material, documents, items, or oral or written communications that
4
qualify – so that other portions of the material, documents, items, or communications
5
for which protection is not warranted are not swept unjustifiably within the ambit of
6
this Order.
7
Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations
8
that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper
9
purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber or retard the case development process or to
10
impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) expose the Designating
11
Party to sanctions. If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or
12
items that it designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating
13
Party must promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the mistaken
14
designation.
15
5.2
Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in
16
this Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise
17
stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection
18
under this Order must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or
19
produced.
20
Designation in conformity with this Order requires:
21
(a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic
22
documents, but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial
23
proceedings), that the Producing Party affix the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” to each
24
page that contains protected material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a
25
page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the
26
protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins). A Party or
27
Non-Party that makes original documents or materials available for inspection need
28
not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated which
{05948246.1}
5
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
1
material it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and before the
2
designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be deemed
3
“CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has identified the documents it wants
4
copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine which documents, or
5
portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order. Then, before producing the
6
specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the “CONFIDENTIAL” legend
7
to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a portion or portions of the
8
material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly
9
identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the
10
margins).
(b) for testimony given in deposition or in other pretrial or trial proceedings,
11
12
that the Designating Party identify on the record, before the close of the deposition,
13
hearing, or other proceeding, all protected testimony.
(c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and for
14
15
any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the
16
exterior of the container or containers in which the information or item is stored the
17
legend “CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a portion or portions of the information or item
18
warrant protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the
19
protected portion(s).
5.3
20
Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent
21
failure 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.
23
Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable
24
efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this
25
Order.
26
6.
27
28
CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
6.1
Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a
designation of confidentiality at any time. Unless a prompt challenge to a Designating
{05948246.1}
6
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
1
Party’s confidentiality designation is necessary to avoid foreseeable, substantial
2
unfairness, unnecessary economic burdens, or a significant disruption or delay of the
3
litigation, a Party does not waive its right to challenge a confidentiality designation by
4
electing not to mount a challenge promptly after the original designation is disclosed.
5
6.2
Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute
6
resolution process by providing written notice of each designation it is challenging
7
and describing the basis for each challenge. To avoid ambiguity as to whether a
8
challenge has been made, the written notice must recite that the challenge to
9
confidentiality is being made in accordance with this specific paragraph of the
10
Protective Order. The parties shall attempt to resolve each challenge in good faith and
11
must begin the process by conferring directly (in voice to voice dialogue; other forms
12
of communication are not sufficient) within 14 days of the date of service of notice. In
13
conferring, the Challenging Party must explain the basis for its belief that the
14
confidentiality designation was not proper and must give the Designating Party an
15
opportunity to review the designated material, to reconsider the circumstances, and, if
16
no change in designation is offered, to explain the basis for the chosen designation. A
17
Challenging Party may proceed to the next stage of the challenge process only if it has
18
engaged in this meet and confer process first or establishes that the Designating Party
19
is unwilling to participate in the meet and confer process in a timely manner.
20
6.3
Judicial Intervention. If the Parties cannot resolve a challenge without
21
court intervention, the Designating Party shall file and serve a motion to retain
22
confidentiality under Civil Local Rule 7 (and in compliance with Civil Local Rule 79-
23
5, if applicable) within 21 days of the initial notice of challenge or within 14 days of
24
the parties agreeing that the meet and confer process will not resolve their dispute,
25
whichever is earlier. Each such motion must be accompanied by a competent
26
declaration affirming that the movant has complied with the meet and confer
27
requirements imposed in the preceding paragraph. Failure by the Designating Party to
28
make such a motion including the required declaration within 21 days (or 14 days, if
{05948246.1}
7
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
1
applicable) shall automatically waive the confidentiality designation for each
2
challenged designation. In addition, the Challenging Party may file a motion
3
challenging a confidentiality designation at any time if there is good cause for doing
4
so, including a challenge to the designation of a deposition transcript or any portions
5
thereof. Any motion brought pursuant to this provision must be accompanied by a
6
competent declaration affirming that the movant has complied with the meet and
7
confer requirements imposed by the preceding paragraph.
The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on the
8
9
Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper purpose
10
(e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may
11
expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating Party has waived
12
the confidentiality designation by failing to file a motion to retain confidentiality as
13
described above, all parties shall continue to afford the material in question the level
14
of protection to which it is entitled under the Producing Party’s designation until the
15
court rules on the challenge.
16
7.
17
ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
7.1
Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is
18
disclosed or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this case
19
only for prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this litigation. Such Protected
20
Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the conditions
21
described in this Order. When the litigation has been terminated, a Receiving Party
22
must comply with the provisions of section 13 below (FINAL DISPOSITION).
23
Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a
24
location and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons
25
authorized under this Order.
26
7.2
Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless
27
otherwise ordered by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a
28
Receiving Party may disclose any information or item designated “CONFIDENTIAL”
{05948246.1}
8
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
1
only to:
(a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this action, as well
2
3
as employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably necessary to
4
disclose the information for this litigation and who have signed the “Acknowledgment
5
and Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A;
(b) the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel) of the
6
7
Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and
8
who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);
(c) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom
9
10
disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the
11
“Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);
12
(d) the court and its personnel;
13
(e) court reporters and their staff, professional jury or trial consultants,
14
mock jurors, and Professional Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary
15
for this litigation and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be
16
Bound” (Exhibit A);
(f) during their depositions, witnesses in the action to whom disclosure is
17
18
reasonably necessary and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to
19
Be Bound” (Exhibit A), unless otherwise agreed by the Designating Party or ordered
20
by the court. Pages of transcribed deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that
21
reveal Protected Material must be separately bound by the court reporter and may not
22
be disclosed to anyone except as permitted under this Stipulated Protective Order.
(g) the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a
23
24
custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information.
25
8.
PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN
26
OTHER LITIGATION
27
If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation
28
that compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this action as
{05948246.1}
9
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
1
“CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must:
(a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall
2
3
include a copy of the subpoena or court order;
(b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order to
4
5
issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the subpoena or
6
order is subject to this Protective Order. Such notification shall include a copy of this
7
Stipulated Protective Order; and
(c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued
8
9
by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.
If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with
10
11
the subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this
12
action as “CONFIDENTIAL” before a determination by the court from which the
13
subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s
14
permission. The Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking
15
protection in that court of its confidential material – and nothing in these provisions
16
should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this action to
17
disobey a lawful directive from another court.
18
9.
19
A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE PRODUCED
IN THIS LITIGATION
20
(a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a
21
Non-Party in this action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information
22
produced by Non-Parties in connection with this litigation is protected by the
23
remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in these provisions should be
24
construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional protections.
25
(b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to
26
produce a Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is
27
subject to an agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s
28
confidential information, then the Party shall:
{05948246.1}
10
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
(1) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party
1
2
that some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality agreement
3
with a Non-Party;
(2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated
4
5
Protective Order in this litigation, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably
6
specific description of the information requested; and
(3) make the information requested available for inspection by the Non-
7
8
Party.
(c) If the Non-Party fails to object or seek a protective order from this court
9
10
within 14 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving
11
Party may produce the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the
12
discovery request. If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving
13
Party shall not produce any information in its possession or control that is subject to
14
the confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a determination by the court.
15
Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the burden and expense
16
of seeking protection in this court of its Protected Material.
17
10.
UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed
18
19
Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this
20
Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in
21
writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts
22
to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform the person or
23
persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this Order,
24
and (d) request such person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment and
25
Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
26
11.
INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE
27
PROTECTED
28
When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain
{05948246.1}
MATERIAL
11
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
1
inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection,
2
the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil
3
Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify whatever procedure
4
may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for production without prior
5
privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) and (e), insofar as the
6
parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure of a communication or
7
information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work product protection, the
8
parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated protective order submitted to
9
the court.
10
11
12
13
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.
12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this
14
Protective Order no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to
15
disclosing or producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in this
16
Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on any
17
ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective Order.
18
12.3 Filing Protected Material. Without written permission from the
19
Designating Party or a court order secured after appropriate notice to all interested
20
persons, a Party may not file in the public record in this action any Protected Material.
21
A Party that seeks to file under seal any Protected Material must comply with Civil
22
Local Rule 79-5. Protected Material may only be filed under seal pursuant to a court
23
order authorizing the sealing of the specific Protected Material at issue. Pursuant to
24
Civil Local Rule 79-5, a sealing order will issue only upon a request establishing that
25
the Protected Material at issue is privileged, protectable as a trade secret, or otherwise
26
entitled to protection under the law. If a Receiving Party's request to file Protected
27
Material under seal pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5(d) is denied by the court, then
28
the Receiving Party may file the information in the public record pursuant to Civil
{05948246.1}
12
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
1
Local Rule 79-5(e) unless otherwise instructed by the court.
2
13.
3
FINAL DISPOSITION
Within 60 days after the final disposition of this action, as defined in paragraph
4
4, each Receiving Party must return all Protected Material to the Producing Party or
5
destroy such material. As used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes
6
all copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries, and any other format reproducing or
7
capturing any of the Protected Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or
8
destroyed, the Receiving Party must submit a written certification to the Producing
9
Party (and, if not the same person or entity, to the Designating Party) by the 60 day
10
deadline that (1) identifies (by category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material
11
that was returned or destroyed and (2) affirms that the Receiving Party has not
12
retained any copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other format
13
reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this
14
provision, Counsel are entitled to retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion
15
papers, trial, deposition, and hearing transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence,
16
deposition and trial exhibits, expert reports, attorney work product, and consultant and
17
expert work product, even if such materials contain Protected Material. Any such
18
archival copies that contain or constitute Protected Material remain subject to this
19
Protective Order as set forth in Section 4 (DURATION).
