Case No. 1:16-cv-00398-DAD-SAB

ORDER RE STIPULATED
PROTECTIVE ORDER RE:
CONFIDENTIAL DOCUMENTS
(PURSUANT TO EASTERN DISTRICT
LOCAL RULE 141.1)

1

1.

PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS

2

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

3

confidential, proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public

4

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

5
6
7

Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the court 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 and that the protection it affords from public disclosure
and use extends only to the limited information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment

8
under the applicable legal principles. The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section
9
12.3, below, that this Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential
10
11
12
13

information under seal; Eastern District Civil Local Rule 141 sets forth the procedures that must
be followed and the standards that will be applied when a party seeks permission from the court
to file material under seal. Nothing in this Stipulated Protective Order is intended to be, nor
should be construed as, an agreement to produce information regarding patients, and nothing in

14

this Stipulated Protective Order is to be construed as a waiver of any party’s obligation to

15

maintain the confidentiality of patient information pursuant federal law, including without

16

limitation, HIPAA and California Welfare and Institutions Code Section 5328.

The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only Protected Material

2
3

(as defined above), but also (1) any information copied from Protected Material; (2) all copies,

4

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

5
6
7

or presentations by Parties or their Counsel that might reveal Protected Material. However, the
protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order do not cover the following information: (a)
any information that is in the public domain at the time of disclosure to a Receiving Party or
becomes part of the public domain after its disclosure to a Receiving Party as a result of

8
publication not involving a violation of this Order, including becoming part of the public record

Even after final disposition of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations imposed by

15

this Order shall remain in effect until a Designating Party agrees otherwise in writing or a court

16

order otherwise directs. Final disposition shall be deemed to be the later of (1) dismissal of all

17

claims and defenses in this action, with or without prejudice; and (2) final judgment herein after

18

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

19

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

20

applicable law.

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 Order must take care
to limit any such designation to specific material that qualifies under the appropriate standards.
The Designating Party must designate for protection only those parts of material, documents,
items, or oral or written communications that qualify – so that other portions of the material,
4

1

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

2

unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order.

3
4
5
6
7

Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations that are
shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper purpose (e.g., to
unnecessarily encumber or retard the case development process or to impose unnecessary
expenses and burdens on other parties) expose the Designating Party to sanctions.
If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it designated
for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must promptly notify all other

8
Parties that it is withdrawing the mistaken designation.
9
5.2
10
11
12
13

Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in 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 under this Order must be clearly so
designated before the material is disclosed or produced.
Designation in conformity with this Order requires:

14

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

15

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

16

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

17

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

18

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

19

margins).

20
21
22
23
24
25

A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents or materials available for
inspection need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated
which material it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and before the
designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be deemed
“CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has identified the documents it wants copied and
produced, the Producing Party must determine which documents, or portions thereof, qualify for
protection under this Order. Then, before producing the specified documents, the Producing Party
5

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

margins).
(b) for testimony and/or exhibits given in deposition or in other pretrial proceedings,

5
6
7

that the Designating Party identify on the record, before the close of the deposition, hearing, or
other proceeding, all protected testimony and/or exhibits.
(c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and for any other

8
tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the exterior of the container
9
10
11

or containers in which the information or item is stored the legend “CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a
portion or portions of the information or item warrant protection, the Producing Party, to the
extent practicable, shall identify the protected portion(s).

12

5.3

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

13

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

14

right to secure protection under this Order for such material. Upon timely correction of a

15

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

16

treated in accordance with the provisions of this Order.

17

6.

18

CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
6.1

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

19

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

20

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

21

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

22
23
24
25

challenge a confidentiality designation by electing not to mount a challenge promptly after the
original designation is disclosed. However, absent good cause, a Party must mount a challenge
by 30 days prior to the filing date for non-dispositive motions regarding fact discovery (currently
set for March 16, 2018. (See Doc. 102).
6.2

Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute resolution
6

1

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

2

for each challenge. To avoid ambiguity as to whether a challenge has been made, the written

3

notice must recite that the challenge to confidentiality is being made in accordance with this

4

specific paragraph of the Protective Order. The parties shall attempt to resolve each challenge in

5
6
7

good faith and must begin the process by conferring directly (in voice to voice dialogue; other
forms of communication are not sufficient) within 14 days of the date of service of notice. In
conferring, the Challenging Party must explain the basis for its belief that the confidentiality
designation was not proper and must give the Designating Party an opportunity to review the

8
designated material, to reconsider the circumstances, and, if no change in designation is offered,
9
to explain the basis for the chosen designation. A Challenging Party may proceed to the next
10
11
12
13

stage of the challenge process only if it has engaged in this meet and confer process first or
establishes that the Designating Party is unwilling to participate in the meet and confer process in
a timely manner.
6.3

Judicial Intervention. If the Parties cannot resolve a challenge without court

14

intervention, the Designating Party shall: either (1) file and serve a motion to retain

15

confidentiality challenging the designation under Eastern District Civil Local Rule 251, or (2)

16

upon stipulation of the parties, follow the procedure in Judge Boone’s Standing Order, ¶ 7, re:

17

Informal Telephonic Conferences re Discovery Disputes; either must occur within 21 days of the

18

initial notice of challenge or within 14 days of the parties agreeing that the meet and confer

19

process will not resolve their dispute, whichever is later. Each such motion under Local Rule 251

20

must be accompanied by a competent declaration affirming that the movant has complied with the

21

meet and confer requirements imposed in the preceding paragraph. Failure by the Designating

22
23
24
25

Party to either make such a motion including the required declaration within 21 days (or 14 days,
if applicable), or to initiate Judge Boone’s Informal Telephonic Conference procedure shall
automatically waive the confidentiality designation for each challenged designation.
The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on the Designating
Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper purpose (e.g., to harass or impose
7

1

unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Challenging Party to

2

sanctions. Unless the Designating Party has waived the confidentiality designation by failing

3

either to file a motion to retain confidentiality or to initiate Judge Boone’s Informal Telephonic

4

Conference procedure as described above, all parties shall continue to afford the material in

5
6
7

question the level of protection to which it is entitled under the Producing Party’s designation
until the court rules on the challenge.
7.

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
11
12
13
14
15

the categories of persons and under the conditions described in this Order. When the litigation has
been terminated, a Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of section 13 below (FINAL
DISPOSITION).
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 (counsel and law firms appearing in this action are deemed to have

21

agreed to be bound by this Protective Order);

22
23
24
25

(b) the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel) of the
Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and 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 disclosure is
reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and
8

1

Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);

2

(d) the court and its personnel;

3

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

4
5

and Professional Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who
have signed the “Acknowledgement and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);
(f) during their depositions, witnesses in the action to whom disclosure is reasonably

6
7

necessary and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A),
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 or as agreed by the Designating Party.

11
12
13

(g) the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a custodian or
other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information.
8.

PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN OTHER

14

LITIGATION

15

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

16

disclosure of any information or items designated in this action as “CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party

17

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

18
19

copy of the subpoena or court order;

20

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

21

the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the subpoena or order is subject to

22
23
24
25

this Protective Order. Such notification shall include a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order;
and
(c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued by the
Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.
If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with the
9

1

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

2

“CONFIDENTIAL” before a determination by the court from which the subpoena or order

3

issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s permission. The Designating Party

4

shall bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in that court of its confidential material –

5
6
7

and nothing in these provisions should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving
Party in this action to disobey a lawful directive from another court.
9.

A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE PRODUCED IN THIS
LITIGATION

8
(a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a Non-Party in
9
10
11
12
13

this action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information produced by Non-Parties in
connection with this litigation is protected by the remedies and relief provided by this Order.
Nothing in these provisions should be construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking
additional protections.
(b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to produce a

14

Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is subject to an agreement

15

with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s confidential information, then the Party shall:

16
17
18

(1) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party that some
or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality agreement with a Non-Party;
(2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated Protective Order

19

in this litigation, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably specific description of the

20

information requested; and

21
22
23
24
25

(3) make the information requested available for inspection by the Non-Party.
(c) If the Non-Party fails to object or seek a protective order from this court within 14
days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party may produce the
Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the discovery request. However, nothing in
this section shall require a Party to violate the terms of a Protective Order issued in another action
that protects the Non-Party’s Information from disclosure. If the Non-Party timely seeks a
10

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

10.

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

6
7

UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this Stipulated Protective
Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in writing the Designating Party of the

8
unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the
9
Protected Material, (c) inform the person or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were
10
11
12

made of all the terms of this Order, and (d) request such person or persons to execute the
“Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
11.

13

INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE PROTECTED
MATERIAL

14

When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain inadvertently

15

produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection, the obligations of the

16

Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This

17

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

18

order that provides for production without prior privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of

19

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

20

communication or information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work product

21

protection, the parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated protective order

22
23
24
25

submitted to the court.
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.

11

12.2

1

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

2

Order no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to assert privilege, to object to disclosing

3

or producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in this Stipulated Protective

4

Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on any ground to use in evidence of any of

5

the material covered by this Protective Order.
12.3

6
7

Filing Protected Material. Without written permission from the Designating Party

or a court order secured after appropriate notice to all interested persons, a Party may not file in
the public record in this action any Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any

8
Protected Material must comply with Civil Local Rule 141. Protected Material may only be filed
9
under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the specific Protected Material at
10
11
12
13

issue. Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 141, a sealing order will issue only upon a request establishing
that the Protected Material at issue is privileged, protectable as a trade secret, or otherwise
entitled to protection under the law. If a Receiving Party's request to file Protected Material under
seal pursuant to Civil Local Rule 141 is denied by the court, then the Receiving Party may file the

14

information in the public record pursuant to Civil Local Rule 141 unless otherwise instructed by

15

the court.

16

13.

17

FINAL DISPOSITION
Within 60 days after the final disposition of this action, as defined in paragraph 4, upon

18

written notification served by Producing or Designating Party, each Receiving Party must return

19

all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such material. As used in this subdivision,

20

“all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries, and any other

21

format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material. Whether the Protected Material is

22
23
24
25

returned or destroyed, the Receiving Party must submit a written certification to the Producing
Party (and, if not the same person or entity, to the Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that
(1) identifies (by category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was returned or
destroyed and (2) affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any copies, abstracts,
compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected
12

1

Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are entitled to retain an archival copy of all

2

pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition, and hearing transcripts, legal memoranda,

3

correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert reports, attorney work product, and

4

consultant and expert work product, even if such materials contain Protected Material. Any such

5
6

archival copies that contain or constitute Protected Material remain subject to this Protective
Order as set forth in Section 4 (DURATION).
