2

Certain Protected Data may compel alternative or additional

3

protections beyond those afforded Highly Confidential – Attorneys’

4

Eyes Only material, in which event the parties shall meet and confer

5

in good faith, and, if unsuccessful, shall move the Court for

6

appropriate relief.

15

interrogatories or answers to requests for admissions, in a separate document stamped with the

16

appropriate legend designating those responses as Confidential Material. The Receiving Party may

17

make copies of Confidential Material and such copies shall become subject to the same protections

18

as the Confidential Material from which those copies were made.

20

format production) may be designated confidential by marking the

21

storage medium itself (or the native file’s title) with the legend

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” The Receiving Party shall mark any

24

hard-copy printouts and the storage medium of any permissible copies

25

26

on the original and such copies shall become subject to the same

27

protections, as the Confidential Material from which those copies were

28

made.

action may be designated by the party as confidential by indicating on

3

the record at the deposition that the information is confidential and

4

subject to the provisions of this Order. Alternatively, the party may

5

designate information disclosed at the deposition as confidential by

6

notifying the court reporter and other parties in writing, within fifteen

7

(15) business days of receipt of the transcript, of the specific pages and

8

lines of the transcript which are designated as confidential. The parties

may agree to a reasonable extension of the 15-business-day period for

10

designation. Designations of transcripts will apply to audio, video, or

11

other recordings of the testimony.

12

period, the entire transcript shall receive confidential treatment. Upon

13

such designation, the court reporter and each party shall affix the

14

“CONFIDENTIAL”

by identifying the documents or information at issue. Once notice is given, the receiving party must

20

make good-faith efforts to ensure that the documents or information are accorded treatment under

21

the new designation. (2) Within a reasonable period after giving notice, the producing party must

22

reproduce the documents or information in a format that contains the new designation. (3) If such

23

information has been disclosed to persons not qualified pursuant to paragraphs 12-13 below, the

24

party who disclosed such information shall (a) take reasonable efforts to retrieve previously disclosed

25

Confidential Material; (b) advise such persons that the material is Confidential; and (c) give the

26

producing party written assurance that steps (a) and (b) have been completed.

Data Security
6.

The Parties agree to provide adequate security to protect data produced by the other

3

party(ies) or by non-parties. This includes secure data storage systems, established security policies,

4

and security training for employees, contractors and experts. Adequate security also includes such

5

measures as data encryption in transit, data encryption at rest, data access controls, and physical

6

security, whether hosted/outsourced to a vendor or on premises. At a minimum, any receiving party

7

subject to the terms of this Confidentiality Order, will provide reasonable measures to protect non-

8

client data consistent with the American Bar Association Standing Committee on Ethics and

9

Professional Responsibility, Formal Opinion 477R.

10
11

Clawback Provisions
7.

The production of privileged or work-product protected documents, electronically

12

stored information (ESI) or information, whether inadvertent or otherwise, is not a waiver of the

13

privilege or protection from discovery in this case or in any other federal or state proceeding.

14

8.

This Order shall be interpreted to provide the maximum protection allowed by Federal

15

Rule of Evidence (FRE) 502(d) and shall be enforceable and granted full faith and credit in all other

16

state and federal proceedings by 28 U.S. Code § 1738. In the event of any subsequent conflict of law,

17

the law that is most protective of privilege and work product shall apply.

18

9.

Nothing contained herein is intended to or shall serve to limit a party’s right to

19

conduct a review of documents, ESI or information (including metadata) for relevance,

20

responsiveness and/or segregation of privileged and/or protected information before production.

21

10.

If the receiving party has reason to believe that a produced document or other

22

information may reasonably be subject to a claim of privilege, then the receiving party shall

23

immediately sequester the document or information, cease using the document or information and

24

cease using any work product containing the information, and shall inform the producing party of

25

the beginning BATES number of the document or, if no BATES number is available, shall otherwise

26

inform the producing party of the information.

27
28

11.

A producing party must give written notice to any receiving party asserting a claim

of privilege, work-product protection, or other ground for reclaiming documents or information (a

“clawback request”). After a clawback request is received, the receiving party shall immediately

2

sequester the document (if not already sequestered) and shall not review or use that document, or

3

any work product containing information taken from that document, for any purpose. The parties

4

shall meet and confer regarding any clawback request.

20

former consultants, advisors, or agents of, a direct competitor of any party named in the litigation.

22

named in this lawsuit, then before disclosing any Confidential Material to a current or former

23

employee, consultant, advisor, or agent of that entity, the Receiving Party’s counsel must confer with

24

counsel for the Producing Party.

7
Case No. 1:23-cv-00949-JLT-BAM
[PROPOSED] AGREED CONFIDENTIALITY ORDER

1

the Designating Party fails to respond in writing within thirty (30) calendar days, the information

2

will no longer be deemed as confidential.

3

If after receiving a response from the Designating Party the Non-Designating Party still does

4

not believe that information should be designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “CONFIDENTIAL -

5

ATTORNEYS EYES ONLY” the Non-Designating Party may file a motion with the Court to resolve

6

the dispute. Until the Court rules on the challenge, the confidentiality designation shall remain in

7

effect. The Designating Party will have the burden of maintaining the confidentiality designation.

8

Withholding of Information

9

21.

Non-relevant Attachments. The parties will not produce non-relevant attachments

10

that are attached to relevant emails. When an attachment is withheld, either for privilege or non-

11

responsiveness, the producing party shall produce a one-page TIFF image (or PDF if production

12

format dictates) in place of the withheld attachment, correspondingly stating “Attachment Withheld-

13

Privileged” or “Attachment Withheld-Nonresponsive”, and bearing a sequential BATES number

14

within the family BATES range. If any attachment to an email contains responsive content, then the

15

cover email shall be produced for context, regardless of the cover email’s responsiveness. The cover

16

email may be redacted in part to remove sensitive information, as described below.

17

22.

Redactions. The parties may redact (1) information that is privileged or protected

18

from discovery as work product or by reason of any other applicable privilege or immunity; (2)

19

information subject to non-disclosure obligations imposed by governmental authorities, law or

20

regulation (e.g., protected personal information); and (3) sensitive, non-relevant information,

21

including but not limited to personally identifiable information, trade secrets, or information

22

regarding products, data, or people. Privilege redactions will state, over the redacted portion,

23

“Redacted–Privileged,” and all other redactions will state, “Redacted–Nonresponsive.” Redactions

24

of emails will not redact the names of recipients or the subject line of the emails, unless the subject

25

line is itself privileged or contains the sensitive information described above, in which case only so

26

much of the subject line will be redacted as may be needed. The parties will produce redacted

27

documents in TIFF format (or searchable PDF if production format dictates; or in native format for

28

file types that do not convert well to TIFF/PDF, such as Excel files) with corresponding searchable
8
Case No. 1:23-cv-00949-JLT-BAM

1

OCR text and the associated metadata for the document, ensuring the redacted content is fully

2

protected from disclosure.

3

Confidential Material In Filings, Hearings, and Trial

4

23.

Confidential Material in Filings. Without written permission from the Producing

5

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

6

Confidential Material in the public record in this action (or in any other action, such as an appeal).

7

A party that seeks to file under seal any Confidential Material must comply with Federal Civil Local

8

Rule 141. Confidential Material may only be filed under seal in a manner prescribed by the Court

9

for such filings.

10

24.

Manner of Sealing. In the event Confidential Materials or portions of transcripts are

11

sealed as confidential by the Court or as described in paragraph 23 above, they shall be filed in an

12

envelope bearing the following designation when deposited:

13

CONFIDENTIAL

14

IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CONFIDENTIALITY ORDER OF
THE COURT, THE CONTENTS OF THIS ENVELOPE SHALL BE
TREATED AS CONFIDENTIAL AND MUST NOT BE SHOWN
TO A PERSON OTHER THAN THE COURT, ATTORNEYS IN
THIS CASE, OR TO PERSONS ASSISTING THOSE
ATTORNEYS.

15
16
17
18
19

25.

Confidential Material in Hearings and Trial. The provisions of this Order shall not

20

affect, and this Order does not limit, the admissibility of Confidential Material (or references to that

21

material) as evidence at trial, or during a hearing or similar proceeding in this action. Prior to using

22

Confidential Material or the information contained therein at any hearing that is open to the public,

23

the party seeking to use the Confidential Material must give at least seven (7) days advance notice

24

to the producing party of the intent to use the Confidential Material so that the producing party may

25

seek an appropriate Court Order to protect the Confidential Material.

26

Continuing Effect of this Order and Duty to Destroy

27
28

26.

This Order shall continue to be binding throughout and after the conclusion of this

litigation, including all appeals. Within thirty (30) days of settlement or final adjudication, including
9
Case No. 1:23-cv-00949-JLT-BAM
[PROPOSED] AGREED CONFIDENTIALITY ORDER

1

the expiration or exhaustion of all rights to appeal or petitions for extraordinary writs, each party or

2

non-party to whom any materials were produced shall, without further request or direction from the

3

Producing Party, promptly destroy all documents, items or data received including, but not limited

4

to, copies or summaries thereof, in the possession or control of any expert or employee. This

5

requirement to destroy includes all documents, not only those documents designated as Confidential

6

Material. The Receiving Party shall submit a written certification to the Producing Party by the 30-

7

day deadline that (1) confirms the destruction/deletion of all Confidential Material, including any

8

copies of Confidential Materials provided to persons required to execute Exhibit A (Affidavit), and

9

(2) affirms the Receiving Party has not retained any copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or

10

any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Confidential Material. Notwithstanding this

11

provision, outside counsel is entitled to retain an archival copy of filings, depositions, and deposition

12

exhibits.

13

Procedure if Confidential Material Is Required to be Produced

14

27.

If any person receiving documents covered by this Order is served with a subpoena,

15

order, interrogatory, or document or civil investigative demand (collectively, a “Demand”) issued in

16

any other action, investigation, or proceeding, and such Demand seeks material that was produced

17

or designated as Confidential Material by someone other than the Receiving Party, the Receiving

18

Party shall give prompt written notice by hand or electronic transmission within five (5) business

19

days of receipt of such Demand to the party or non-party who produced or designated the material

20

as Confidential Material, and shall object to the production of such materials on the grounds of the

21

existence of this Order. At the request of the party or non-party who produced or designated the

22

material as Confidential Material, the Receiving Party shall refuse to comply with the Demand unless

23

(a) ordered to do so by a court with jurisdiction over the Receiving Party; or (b) released in writing

24

by the party or non-party who designated the material as Confidential Material. The burden of

25

opposing the enforcement of the Demand shall fall upon the party or non-party who produced or

26

designated the material as Confidential Material. Compliance by the Receiving Party with any order

27

of a court of competent jurisdiction, directing production of any Confidential Material, shall not

28

constitute a violation of this Order.

Application of this Order to Productions by Third Parties
28.

This Order may be used by third parties producing documents in connection with this

3

action. Third parties may designate information as Confidential or Highly Confidential – Attorneys’

4

Eyes Only.

5

29.

If a third party produces (or intends to produce) documents and does not designate (or

6

does not intend to designate) those documents as Confidential Material, then any party to this action

7

may seek to designate that third party’s documents or categories of documents as Confidential

8

Material. In that case, it will be the burden of the party seeking protected status to move for a court

9

order designating the materials as Confidential Material after the parties confer.

10

30.

In the event additional parties join or intervene in this litigation, the newly joined

11

party(ies) shall not have access to Confidential Material until its/their counsel has executed and, at

12

the request of any party, filed with the Court the agreement of such party(ies) and such counsel to be

13

fully bound by this Order.

14

31.

The parties agree that nothing in this Order shall be deemed to limit the extent to

15

which counsel for the parties may advise or represent their respective clients, conduct discovery,

16

prepare for trial, present proof at trial, including any document designated Confidential Material as

17

set forth herein, or oppose the production or admissibility of any information or documents which

18

have been requested.
