Based upon the parties’ stipulation and good cause showing, the Court

13

hereby issues the protective order on the following terms:

15

A.

PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS

Discovery in this action is likely to involve production of confidential,

16

proprietary or private information for which special protection from public

17

disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may

18

be warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to

19

enter the following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this

20

Order does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to

21

discovery and that the protection it affords from public disclosure and use extends

22

only to the limited information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment

23

under the applicable legal principles.

24

B.

25

This action is likely to involve trade secrets, and confidential and proprietary

GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT

26

information for which special protection from public disclosure and from use for

27

any purpose other than prosecution of this action is warranted. Such confidential

28

and proprietary materials and information consist of, among other things,
1
[PROPOSED] ORDER APPROVING STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER: CASE NO. 5:17-CV-00731

1

confidential business or financial information, information regarding confidential

2

business practices, or other confidential research, development, or commercial

3

information (including information implicating privacy rights of employees and

4

other third parties), information otherwise generally unavailable to the public, or

5

which may be privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure under state or

6

federal statutes, court rules, case decisions, or common law. Accordingly, to

7

expedite the flow of information, to facilitate the prompt resolution of disputes over

8

confidentiality of discovery materials, to adequately protect information the parties

9

are entitled to keep confidential, to ensure that the parties are permitted reasonable

10

necessary uses of such material in preparation for and in the conduct of trial, to

11

address their handling at the end of the litigation, and serve the ends of justice, a

12

protective order for such information is justified in this matter. It is the intent of the

13

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

14

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

15

maintained in a confidential, non-public manner, and there is good cause why it

16

should not be part of the public record of this case.

17
18
19

C.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF PROCEDURE FOR FILING UNDER
SEAL

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

20

Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential information

21

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

22

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

23

to file material under seal.

24

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

25

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

26

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

27

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

28

Corp., 307 F.3d 1206, 1210-11 (9th Cir. 2002), Makar-Welbon v. Sony Electrics,
2
[PROPOSED] ORDER APPROVING STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER: CASE NO. 5:17-CV-00731

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

respect to Protected Material that a party seeks to file under seal. The parties’ mere

5

designation of Disclosure or Discovery Material as CONFIDENTIAL does not—

6

without the submission of competent evidence by declaration, establishing that the

7

material sought to be filed under seal qualifies as confidential, privileged, or

8

otherwise protectable—constitute good cause.
Further, if a party requests sealing related to a dispositive motion or trial,

9
10

then compelling reasons, not only good cause, for the sealing must be shown, and

11

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

12

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

13

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

14

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

15

seeking protection must articulate compelling reasons, supported by specific facts

16

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

17

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

18

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

19
20

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

21

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

22

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

23

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

24

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

SCOPE

17

The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only

18

Protected Material (as defined above), but also (1) any information copied or

19

extracted from Protected Material; (2) all copies, excerpts, summaries, or

20

compilations of Protected Material; and (3) any testimony, conversations, or

21

presentations by Parties or their Counsel that might reveal Protected Material.
Any use of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by the orders of the

22
23

trial judge. This Order does not govern the use of Protected Material at trial.

24

4.

25

DURATION
Even after final disposition of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations

26

imposed by this Order shall remain in effect until a Designating Party agrees

27

otherwise in writing or a court order otherwise directs. Final disposition shall be

28

deemed to be the later of (1) dismissal of all claims and defenses in this action, with
5
[PROPOSED] ORDER APPROVING STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER: CASE NO. 5:17-CV-00731

1

or without prejudice; and/or (2) final judgment herein after the completion and

2

exhaustion of all appeals, rehearings, remands, trials, or reviews of this action,

3

including the time limits for filing any motions or applications for extension of time

4

pursuant to applicable law.
Once a case proceeds to trial, information that was designated as

5
6

CONFIDENTIAL or maintained pursuant to this protective order used or

7

introduced as an exhibit at trial becomes public and will be presumptively available

8

to all members of the public, including the press, unless compelling reasons

9

supported by specific factual findings to proceed otherwise are made to the trial

10

judge in advance of the trial. See Kamakana, 447 F.3d at 1180-81 (distinguishing

11

“good cause” showing for sealing documents produced in discovery from

12

“compelling reasons” standard when merits-related documents are part of court

13

record). Accordingly, the terms of this protective order do not extend to information

14

used or introduced as an exhibit at trial.

15

5.

16

DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
5.1

Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection.

17

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

18

this Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that

19

qualifies under the appropriate standards. The Designating Party must designate for

20

protection only those parts of material, documents, items or oral or written

21

communications that qualify so that other portions of the material, documents,

22

items or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept

23

unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order.

24

Mass, indiscriminate or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations

25

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

26

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

27

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

28

Designating Party to sanctions.
6
[PROPOSED] ORDER APPROVING STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER: CASE NO. 5:17-CV-00731

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

5.2

Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in

5

this Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise

6

stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection

7

under this Order must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or

8

produced.

9
10

Designation in conformity with this Order requires:
(a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic documents,

11

but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that

12

the Producing Party affix at a minimum, the legend “CONFIDENTIAL”

13

(hereinafter “CONFIDENTIAL legend”), to each page that contains protected

14

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

15

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

16

appropriate markings in the margins).

17

A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents available for inspection

18

need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated

19

which documents it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and

20

before the designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be

21

deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has identified the

22

documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine

23

which documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order. Then,

24

before producing the specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the

25

“CONFIDENTIAL legend” to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a

26

portion of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also

27

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

28

in the margins).
7
[PROPOSED] ORDER APPROVING STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER: CASE NO. 5:17-CV-00731

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

1
2

the Disclosure or Discovery Material on the record, within 30 days of receipt of the

3

deposition transcript all protected testimony.
(c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and for

4
5

any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the

6

exterior of the container or containers in which the information is stored the legend

7

“CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a portion or portions of the information warrants

8

protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the

9

protected portion(s).
5.3

10

Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected upon discovery,

11

an inadvertent failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing

12

alone, waive the Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for

13

such material. Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must

14

make reasonable efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the

15

provisions of this Order.

16

6.

17

CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
6.1

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

18

designation of confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the Court’s

19

Scheduling Order.

20
21
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

Joint Stipulation. Any challenge submitted to the Court shall be via a

joint stipulation pursuant to Local Rule 37-2.
6.4

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
8
[PROPOSED] ORDER APPROVING STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER: CASE NO. 5:17-CV-00731

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

7.

5

ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
7.1

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

6

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

7

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

8

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

9

conditions described in this Order. When the Action has been terminated, a

10

Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of section 13 below (FINAL

11

DISPOSITION).

12

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

13

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

14

authorized under this Order.

15

7.2

Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless

16

otherwise ordered by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a

17

Receiving Party may disclose any information or item designated

18

“CONFIDENTIAL” only to:

19

(a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this Action, as well

20

as employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably necessary

21

to disclose the information for this Action;

22
23

(b) the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel) of the
Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action;

24

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

25

disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed the

26

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

27

(d) the court and its personnel;

28

(e) court reporters and their staff;
9
[PROPOSED] ORDER APPROVING STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER: CASE NO. 5:17-CV-00731

1

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

2

Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have

3

signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);
(g) an individual who authored or has personal knowledge of that

4
5

information provided that individual (1) has signed the form attached as Exhibit A

6

hereto, and (2) is not permitted to keep any confidential information, unless

7

otherwise agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the court;
(h) during their depositions, witnesses, and attorneys for witnesses, in the

8
9

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

10

requests that the witness sign the form attached as Exhibit A hereto; and (2) they

11

will not be permitted to keep any confidential information, unless otherwise agreed

12

by the Designating Party or ordered by the court. Pages of transcribed deposition

13

testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material may be

14

separately bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone except

15

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.
7.3.

18

Putative Class Member Information. Contact information and any

19

other identifying information for putative class members provided in this action

20

shall only be used for purposes of pre-class certification discovery in this action,

21

and for no other reason. If the class is certified, however, the information may be

22

used during the pendency of this action.

23

8.

PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED

24

IN OTHER LITIGATION

25

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

26

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

27

“CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must:

28
10
[PROPOSED] ORDER APPROVING STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER: CASE NO. 5:17-CV-00731

(a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall

1
2

include a copy of the subpoena or court order;

3

(b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order to

4

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

5

or order is subject to this Protective Order. Such notification shall include a copy of

6

this Stipulated Protective Order; and
(c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued

7
8

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

9
10

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

11

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

12

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

13

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

14

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

15

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

16

to disobey a lawful directive from another court.

17

9.

A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE

18

PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION

19

(a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a Non-

20

Party in this Action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information

21

produced by Non-Parties in connection with this litigation is protected by the

22

remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in these provisions should be

23

construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional protections.

24

(b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to

25

produce a Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is

26

subject to an agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s

27

confidential information, then the Party shall:

28
11
[PROPOSED] ORDER APPROVING STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER: CASE NO. 5:17-CV-00731

1

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

2

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 Protective

4
5

Order in this Action, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably specific

6

description of the information requested; and
(3) make the information requested available for inspection by the Non-

7
8

Party, if requested.
(c) If the Non-Party fails to seek a protective order from this court within 14

9
10

days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party

11

may produce the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the discovery

12

request. If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall

13

not produce any information in its possession or control that is subject to the

14

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

16

expense 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

22

efforts to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform the

23

person or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of

24

this Order, and (d) request such person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment

25

and Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE

2

PROTECTED MATERIAL

3

When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain

4

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

5

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

6

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

7

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

8

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

9

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

10

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

11

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

12

protective order submitted to the court.

13

12.

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

14
15

MISCELLANEOUS

person to seek its modification by the Court in the future.

16

12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this

17

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

18

disclosing or producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in

19

this Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on

20

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

21

Order.

22

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

23

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

24

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

25

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

26

under seal is denied by the court, then the Receiving Party may file the information

27

in the public record unless otherwise instructed by the court.

FINAL DISPOSITION
After the final disposition of this Action, as defined in paragraph 4, within 60

2
3

days of a written request by the Designating Party, each Receiving Party must

4

return all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such material. As

5

used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts,

6

compilations, summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the

7

Protected Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the

8

Receiving Party must submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if

9

not the same person or entity, to the Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that

10

(1) identifies (by category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was

11

returned or destroyed and (2) affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any

12

copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or

13

capturing any of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel

14

are entitled to retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial,

15

deposition, and hearing transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition

16
