1.

13

PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS
Disclosure and discovery activity in this action are likely to involve production of

14 confidential, proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public disclosure
15 and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this action may be warranted, including, but
16 not limited to: (1) proprietary procedures, manuals, and policies; (2) proprietary and confidential
17

operations information, including sales and marketing information, profit information,

18

manufacturing processes, sensitive product information, price information, and customer lists; (3)

19

internal business or financial information; (4) confidential scientific and technical designs,

20

formulations, and information; (5) personnel files of non-parties; (6) private information of

21

individuals who were employed by or engaged by Defendants or another entity, including tax

22

filings and related documents and medical records; (7) trade secrets; and (8) any other similar

23 proprietary, confidential, and/or private information.
24

Good cause exists to protect the good faith designation of each of the categories of

25 documents identified above, as prejudice or harm to Plaintiffs and/or Defendants and/or to one or
26 more third parties may result if no protective order is granted. In particular, business competitors
27 of Defendants could obtain an unfair advantage, Defendants could be economically prejudiced, and
28 the privacy rights of Defendants’ current and/or former employees or contractors could be violated

Case No. 1:15-cv-00732-DAD-MJS
[PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER REGARDING CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

1

if any of the confidential information identified above is published for purposes outside those

2

permitted in this Stipulated Protective Order. The purpose of this Stipulated Protective Order is to

3

protect any legitimately designated confidential business, employee, and privacy-protected

4

information to be produced in this action from public disclosure.

5

Accordingly, the Parties hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to enter the following

6 Stipulated Protective Order. The Parties acknowledge that this Order does not confer blanket
7 protections on all disclosures or responses to discovery and that the protection it affords from
8 public disclosure and use extends only to the limited information or items that are entitled to
9 confidential treatment under the applicable legal principles. The Parties further acknowledge, as
10 set forth in Section 12.3, below, that this Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file
11

confidential information under seal; Eastern District Local Rule 141 sets forth the procedures that

12

must be followed and the standards that will be applied when a Party seeks permission from the

13

Court to file material under seal.

1

information: (a) any information that is in the public domain at the time of disclosure to a

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

14

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

15

applicable law. The Court retains jurisdiction over the parties for enforcement of the provisions of

18

DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
5.1

Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection. Each Party or

19

Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under this Order must take care to

20

limit any such designation to specific material that qualifies under the appropriate standards. The

21

Designating Party must designate for protection only those parts of material, documents, items, or

22

oral or written communications that qualify – so that other portions of the material, documents,

23

items, or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept unjustifiably within

24

the ambit of this Order.

25

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

26

protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must promptly notify all other

27

Parties that it is withdrawing the mistaken designation.

28

Case No. 1:15-cv-00732-DAD-MJS
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER REGARDING CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

1

5.2

Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in this Order

2

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

3

Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection under this Order must be clearly so

4

designated before the material is disclosed or produced.

5

Designation in conformity with this Order requires:

6

(a)

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

7

excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that the Producing Party

8

affix the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” to each page that contains protected material. If only a

9

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

10

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

11

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

12

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

13

it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and before the designation, all of the

14

material made available for inspection shall be deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting

15

Party has identified the documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party must

16

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

17

before producing the specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the “CONFIDENTIAL”

18

legend to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a portion or portions of the material

19

on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected

20

portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins).

21

(b) for testimony given in deposition or in other pretrial or trial proceedings, that the

22

Designating Party identify on the record, before the close of the deposition, hearing, or other

23

proceeding, all protected testimony; alternatively, in the case of depositions, other pretrial

24

testimony, the transcripts thereof, and exhibits thereto, by written notice to opposing counsel.

25

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

26

tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the exterior of the container

27

or containers in which the information or item is stored the legend “CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a

28
5
Case No. 1:15-cv-00732-DAD-MJS
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER REGARDING CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

1

portion or portions of the information or item warrant protection, the Producing Party, to the extent

2

practicable, shall identify the protected portion(s).

3

5.3

Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent failure to

4

designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive the Designating Party’s

5

right to secure protection under this Order for such material.

6

designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable efforts to assure that the material is treated

7

in accordance with the provisions of this Order.

Upon timely correction of a

CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
6.1

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

10

confidentiality at any time. Unless a prompt challenge to a Designating Party’s confidentiality

11

designation is necessary to avoid foreseeable, substantial unfairness, unnecessary economic

12

burdens, or a significant disruption or delay of the litigation, a Party does not waive its right to

13

challenge a confidentiality designation by electing not to mount a challenge promptly after the

14

original designation is disclosed.

15

6.2

Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute resolution process

16

by providing written notice of each designation it is challenging and describing the basis for each

17

challenge. To avoid ambiguity as to whether a challenge has been made, the written notice must

18

recite that the challenge to confidentiality is being made in accordance with this specific paragraph

19 of the Protective Order. The parties shall attempt to resolve each challenge in good faith and must
20 begin the process by conferring directly (in voice to voice dialogue; other forms of communication
21 are not sufficient) within 14 days of the date of service of notice. In conferring, the Challenging
22

Party must explain the basis for its belief that the confidentiality designation was not proper and

23

must give the Designating Party an opportunity to review the designated material, to reconsider the

24

circumstances, and, if no change in designation is offered, to explain the basis for the chosen

25

designation. A Challenging Party may proceed to the next stage of the challenge process only if it

26

has engaged in this meet and confer process first or establishes that the Designating Party is

27

unwilling to participate in the meet and confer process in a timely manner.

6.3

Judicial Intervention. A Party that elects to press a challenge to a confidentiality

2

designation after considering the justification offered by the Designating Party may file and serve a

3

motion that identifies the challenged material and sets forth the basis for the challenge. Any motion

4

to compel will comply with Local Rule 251 and any other applicable rule or guideline by the Court

5

or Magistrate Judge.

ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
7.1

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

8

produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this case only for prosecuting,

9

defending, or attempting to settle this litigation. Such Protected Material may be disclosed only to

10

the categories of persons and under the conditions described in this Order. When the litigation has

11

been terminated, a Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of section 14 below (FINAL

12

DISPOSITION).

13
14
15

Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a location and in
a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons authorized under this Order.
7.2.

Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless otherwise ordered

16

by the Court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a Receiving Party may disclose any

17

information or item designated “CONFIDENTIAL” only to:

18

(a)

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

19

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

20

information for this litigation;

21

(b)

the Receiving Party and any officers, directors, and employees (including In-House

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

(c)

the Designating Party and any officers, directors, managers, and employees of the

25 Designating Party;
26

(d)

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

27 reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement
28 to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);

(e)

the Court and its personnel;

(f)

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

3 Professional Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have
4 signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);
5

(g)

during their depositions, witnesses in the action to whom disclosure is reasonably

6 necessary and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A),
7 unless otherwise agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the Court. Pages of transcribed
8 deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material must be separately
9 bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone except as permitted under this
10 Stipulated Protective Order;
11
12

(h)

the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a custodian or

other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information; and

13

(i)

any person who previously was an officer, director, manager, employee or agent of

14 an entity that previously had access to the information, document, and/or item that has been
15 designated “CONFIDENTIAL” to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation.

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 that compels

19 disclosure of any information or items designated in this action as “CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party
20 must:
21

(a)

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

22 copy of the subpoena or court order;
23

(b)

promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order to issue in

24 the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the subpoena or order is subject to
25 this Protective Order. Such notification shall include a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order;
26 and
27

(c)

cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued by the

28 Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.
8
Case No. 1:15-cv-00732-DAD-MJS
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER REGARDING CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

1

(d)

notwithstanding paragraphs 7 and 8(a)-(b), Plaintiffs hereby stipulate and agree that

2

Defendant, who is also a defendant in the action captioned Soares, et al. v. Flowers Foods, Inc., et

3

al., No. 3:15-cv-04918 (N.D. Cal), filed October 26, 2015, is deemed to have served valid third-

4

party subpoenas on them in the Soares action demanding Plaintiffs to produce, for use in the

5

Soares action, all the discovery materials the Plaintiffs produce in this action, including Plaintiffs’

6

“CONFIDENTIAL” discovery materials and any deposition transcript, and that Defendant may use

7

all such discovery materials and deposition transcripts in the Soares action. Pursuant to Paragraph

8

8(c), Defendant stipulates and agrees to cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought

9

to be pursued by Plaintiffs with respect to any Protected Material in this action.

10

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

11

or court order shall not produce any information designated in this action as “CONFIDENTIAL”

12

before a determination by the Court from which the subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has

13

obtained the Designating Party’s permission. The Designating Party shall bear the burden and

14

expense of seeking protection in that court of its confidential material – and nothing in these

15

provisions should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this action to

16

disobey a lawful directive from another court.

20

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 Non-Party in

this action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information produced by Non-Parties in

21 connection with this litigation is protected by the remedies and relief provided by this Order.
22 Nothing in these provisions should be construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking
23 additional protections.
24

(b)

In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to produce a Non-

25 Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is subject to an agreement with the
26 Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s confidential information, then the Party shall:

9
Case No. 1:15-cv-00732-DAD-MJS
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER REGARDING CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

1

(1)

promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party that some

2

or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality agreement

3

with a Non-Party;

4

(2)

promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated Protective

5

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

6

specific description of the information requested; and

7

(3)

8

(c)

make the information requested available for inspection by the Non-Party.

If the Non-Party fails to object or seek a protective order from this Court within 14

9

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

10

Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the discovery request. If the Non-Party timely

11

seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall not produce any information in its possession or

12

control that is subject to the confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a determination

13

by the Court. Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the burden and

14

expense of seeking protection in this Court of its Protected Material.

15

10.

16

UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed Protected

17 Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this Stipulated Protective
18 Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in writing the Designating Party of the
19 unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected
20 Material, (c) inform the person or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the
21 terms of this Order, and (d) request such person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment and
22 Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
23 11.
24
25

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

26 produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection, the obligations of the
27 Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(5)(B).

This

28 provision is not intended to modify whatever procedure may be established in an e-discovery order

that provides for production without prior privilege review. Further, no party shall be held to have

2 waived any right or legally-cognizable privilege or evidentiary protection by such inadvertent
3 production. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) and (e), insofar as the parties reach an
4 agreement on the effect of disclosure of a communication or information covered by the attorney5 client privilege or work product protection, the parties may incorporate their agreement in the
6 stipulated protective order submitted to the Court.

MISCELLANEOUS

8

12.1

9

seek its modification by the Court in the future.

10
11

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

12.2

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

Order no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to disclosing or producing any

12 information or item on any ground not addressed in this Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no
13 Party waives any right to object on any ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by
14 this Protective Order.
15

12.3

Filing Protected Material. Without written permission from the Designating Party

16

or a court order secured after appropriate notice to all interested persons, a Party may not file in the

17

public record in this action any Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any

18

Protected Material must comply with Local Rules 140 and 141.1. Protected Material may only be

19

filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the specific Protected Material

20

at issue.

21

13.

22

USING PROTECTED MATERIAL AT TRIAL
Not later than the deadline for filing pretrial disclosures pursuant to Rule 26(a)(3) of the

23 Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Parties shall meet and confer regarding the procedures for use
24 of Protected Material at trial and shall move the Court for entry of an appropriate order. In the
25

event that the Parties cannot agree upon the procedures for use of Protected Material at trial, each

26

Party shall include a notation in its pretrial disclosures that the intended disclosure contains

27

Protected Material. The Parties may object to the Disclosure of Protected Material pursuant to

28
11
Case No. 1:15-cv-00732-DAD-MJS
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER REGARDING CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

1

Rule 26(a)(3)(B) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and the Court shall resolve any

2

outstanding disputes over such Disclosure.

14.

FINAL DISPOSITION

4

Within 90 days after the final disposition of this action, as defined in paragraph 4, each

5

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

6

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

7

summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material. Whether

8

the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the Receiving Party must submit a written

9

certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the same person or entity, to the Designating Party)

10

by the 90 day deadline that (1) identifies (by category, where appropriate) all the Protected

11

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

12

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

13

the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are entitled to retain an archival
