The disclosure or production of any information or document without inspection or 11 designation of a “CONFIDENTIAL” legend, as contemplated in sec. 5.2 of the protective order 12 entered in this action (Dkt. No. 129), will not be deemed to waive a producing party’s or 13 producing third party’s claim to designate information as Confidential as set forth in section 5.3 of 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 the entered protective order (Dkt. No. 129). 2. As used herein, the term “Protected Private Information” means information pertaining to an individual which qualifies for protection from disclosure under California state privacy law. The parties agree not to object to the disclosure of information that pertains to any corporation or other organization on the basis that it constitutes Protected Private Information. The parties further agree not to object to the disclosure of any financial information on the basis that it constitutes Protected Private Information unless such information pertains to the personal financial records of an individual and is unrelated to the pricing of any dairy product. 3. The disclosure or production of any information or document that is subject to an objection on the basis of attorney-client privilege, work-product protection, Protected Private 24 Information, or other applicable privileges (collectively, “Protected Information”) will not be 25 deemed to waive a producing party’s or producing third party’s claim to its privileged or protected 26 nature (“Protection”) or estop that party or the privileged holder from designating the information 27 or document as Protected Information at a later date. 28 2 STIPULATION AND ADDENDUM TO PROTECTIVE ORDER Case No. 1:09-CV-00430-AWI-DLB DWT 23866068v1 0090114-000001 DWT 23357992v1 0090114-000001 1 4. A producing party or producing third party may request the return of any Protected Information by submitting such request in writing, identifying the document and asserting the 3 basis for Protection. In the event that only part(s) of a document or other information is claimed to 4 contain Protected Information, the producing party shall furnish a redacted copy of such 5 document, removing only the part(s) thereof claimed to be Protected Information. The receiving 6 party shall determine in good faith whether to contest the basis for asserting Protection and to 7 either (a) return or destroy all copies of the Protected Information and provide certification to the 8 producing party of same, or (b) provide notification to the producing party in writing of an 9 objection to the assertion of Protection and the grounds for that objection. The receiving party 10 DAVIS WRIGHT TREMAINE LLP 2 may examine the Protected Information to the extent necessary to determine if the document is 11 Protected. If the receiving party objects to the assertion of Protection, the parties shall meet and 12 confer in accordance with L.R. 251 and the Court’s motion practice procedures with regard to 13 discovery disputes. In the event the parties are unable to resolve the dispute, the receiving party 14 may request an informal conference with the Court to seek appropriate relief or move for relief 15 pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 37. The Protected Information subject to dispute shall not be used for 16 any purpose in this litigation until the Court determines its status. 17 18 19 20 21 22 5. To the extent a producing party produces personal address or other contact information for an employee, former employee, or member of the producing party, the receiving party expressly agrees not to contact the individual until the producing party has a reasonable opportunity to determine if the individual will be represented by the producing party’s counsel. 6. Entry of this Stipulation and Addendum to Protective Order does not alter any party’s burden in establishing or challenging claims of Protected Information. 23 7. Entry of this Stipulation and Addendum to Protective Order does not waive the 24 right of the receiving party to assert the producing party failed to timely request the return of 25 Protected Information. 26 27 28 8. Entry of this Stipulation and Addendum to Protective Order does not alter the obligation of the receiving party to comply with its ethical and legal obligations, as set forth under 3 STIPULATION AND ADDENDUM TO PROTECTIVE ORDER Case No. 1:09-CV-00430-AWI-DLB DWT 23866068v1 0090114-000001 DWT 23357992v1 0090114-000001 1 applicable law, concerning the receipt of material that obviously appears to be Protected 2 Information. 3 4 5 9. Entry of this Stipulation and Addendum to Protective Order does not waive any objection otherwise available to a party or non-party under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. 10. Entry of this Stipulation and Addendum to Protective Order does not preclude or restrict the right of any party to perform a review for the purpose of identifying Protected 7 Information and withholding documents containing Protected Information in accordance with the 8 Federal Rules of Civil Procedure governing the non-production of documents claimed to be 9 Protected. 10 DAVIS WRIGHT TREMAINE LLP 6 11. 11 Entry of this Stipulation and Addendum to Protective Order does not otherwise alter the terms of the protective order entered in this action (Dkt.
