PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS
Disclosure and discovery activity in this action will involve the production of

3

personal contact information of potential class members comprised of past and current employees

4

of Defendant, for which special protection from public disclosure and from use for any purpose

5

other than prosecuting this litigation may be warranted. See Putnam v. Eli Lilly & Co., 508 F.

6

Supp. 2d 812, 814 (C.D. Cal. 2007). The parties assert that this confidential information should

7

be protected by a Court order rather than by a private agreement because the entry of a protective

8

order would carry the weight of the Court’s imprimatur and authorize the exercise of its contempt

9

power over any potential violations of this protective order. A private agreement between the

10

parties would not serve to fully protect the confidential nature of the protected information from

11

unwarranted disclosure, would not be as strong of a deterrent against such disclosure, and would

12

not provide sufficient remedies in the event of disclosure.

13

Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the court to enter the

14

following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this Order does not confer

15

blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to discovery and that the protection it affords

16

from public disclosure and use extends only to the limited information or items that are entitled to

17

confidential treatment under the applicable legal principles. The parties further acknowledge, as

18

set forth in Section 12.3, below, that this Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file

19

confidential information under seal; Civil Local Rule 141 sets forth the procedures that must be

20

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

21

file material under seal.

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

7

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

8

Material; (2) all copies, excerpts, summaries, or compilations of Protected Material; and (3) any

9

testimony, conversations, or presentations by Parties or their Counsel that might reveal Protected

10

Material. However, the protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order do not cover the

11

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

12

to a Receiving Party or becomes part of the public domain after its disclosure to a Receiving

13

Party as a result of publication not involving a violation of this Order, including becoming part of

14

the public record through trial or otherwise; and (b) any information known to the Receiving

15

Party prior to the disclosure or obtained by the Receiving Party after the disclosure from a source

16

17

Designating Party. Any use of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by a separate

18

agreement or order.

19

4.

20

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

21

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

22

or a court order otherwise directs. Final disposition shall be deemed to be the later of (1)

23

dismissal of all claims and defenses in this action, with or without prejudice; and (2) final

24

judgment herein after the completion and exhaustion of all appeals, rehearings, remands, trials, or

25

reviews of this action, including the time limits for filing any motions or applications for

26

extension of time pursuant to applicable law.

DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
5.1

Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection.

3

Each party that designates information or items for protection under this Stipulated Protective

4

Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that qualified under the

5

appropriate standard. A Designating Party must take care to designate for protection only those

6

parts of material, documents, items, or oral or written communications that qualify – so that other

7

portions of the material, documents, items, or communications for which protection is not

8

warranted are not swept unjustifiably within the ambit of this Stipulated Protective Order. If it

9

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

10

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

11

Parties that it is withdrawing the mistaken designation.

12

5.2

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

13

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

14

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

15

designated before the material is disclosed or produced.

16

Designation in conformity with this Order requires:

17

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

18

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

19

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

20

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

21

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

22

margins).

23

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

24

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

25

which material it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and before the

26

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

27

“CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has identified the documents it wants copied and

28

produced, the Producing Party must determine which documents, or portions thereof, qualify for

pdfFactory trial

CASE NO.: 2:11-cv-01802-JAM-DAD

1

protection under this Order. Then, before producing the specified documents, the Producing

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

margins).

6

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

7

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

8

proceeding, all protected testimony.

9

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

10

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

11

container or containers in which the information or item is stored the legend “CONFIDENTIAL.”

12

If only a portion or portions of the information or item warrant protection, the Producing Party, to

13

the extent practicable, shall identify the protected portion(s).

14

5.3

Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent

15

failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive the

16

Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such material. Upon timely

17

correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable efforts to assure that the

18

material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this Order.

19
20

6.

CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
A party that elects to initiate a challenge to a Designating Party’s confidentiality

21

designation must do so in good faith and begin the process by conferring directly with counsel for

22

the designating party. In conferring, the Challenging Party must explain the basis for its belief

23

that the confidentiality designation was not proper and must give the designating party an

24

opportunity to review the designated material, to reconsider the circumstances, and, if not change

25

in designation is offered, to explain the basis for the chosen designation. A Challenging Party

26

may proceed to the next stage of the challenge process only if it has engaged in this meet and

27

confer process first. A party that elects to press a challenge to a confidentiality designation after

28

considering the justification offered by the Designating Party may file and serve a motion that

1

identifies the challenged material and sets forth in detail the basis for the challenge. Each such

2

motion must be accompanied by a competent declaration that affirms that the movant has

3

complied with the meet and confer requirements imposed in the preceding paragraph and sets

4

forth with specificity the justification for the confidentiality designation that was given by the

5

Designating Party in the meet and confer dialogue.

6

7.

7

ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
7.1

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

8

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

9

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

10

disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the conditions described in this Order.

11

When the litigation has been terminated, a Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of

12

section 13 below (FINAL DISPOSITION).

13

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

14

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

15

this Order.

16

7.2

Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless otherwise

17

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

18

disclose any information or item designated “CONFIDENTIAL” only to:

19

(a)

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

20

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

21

information for this litigation and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be

22

Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A;

23

(b)

the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel) of the

24

Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have

25

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

26

the court and its personnel, and any private mediator or other ADR

(f)

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

7

reasonably necessary and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound”

8

(Exhibit A), unless otherwise agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the court. Pages of

9

transcribed deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material must be

10

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

11

under this Stipulated Protective Order;

12

custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information; and

PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN

OTHER LITIGATION

17

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

18

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

19

that Party must:

20
21
22

(a)

promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall

include a copy of the subpoena or court order;
(b)

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

23

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

24

subject to this Protective Order. Such notification shall include a copy of this Stipulated

25

Protective Order; and

26
27
28

(c)

cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued

by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.

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

and nothing in these provisions should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving

6

Party in this action to disobey a lawful directive from another court.

7
8

9.

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

IN THIS LITIGATION

9

(a)

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

10

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

11

Parties in connection with this litigation is protected by the remedies and relief provided by this

12

Order. Nothing in these provisions should be construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking

13

additional protections.

14

(b)

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

15

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

16

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

17

Party shall:

18

1.

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

19

that some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality agreement with a Non-

20

Party;

21

2.

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

22

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

23

description of the information requested; and

24
25
26

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

27

within 14 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party may

28

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

1

Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall not produce any information

2

in its possession or control that is subject to the confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party

3

before a determination by the court.1 Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall

4

bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in this court of its Protected Material.

5

10.

UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

6

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

7

Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this Stipulated

8

Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in writing the Designating

9

Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts to retrieve all unauthorized copies of

10

the Protected Material, (c) inform the person or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were

11

made of all the terms of this Order, and (d) request such person or persons to execute the

12

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

13

Willful violation by any person of any provision of this Order may be punishable

14

as contempt of Court. Further, any party hereto may pursue any and all civil remedies available

15

to him or it for breach of the terms of this Order.

16
17

11.

INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE

PROTECTED MATERIAL

18

When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain

19

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

20

obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure

21

26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify whatever procedure may be established in

22

an e-discovery order that provides for production without prior privilege review. Pursuant to

23

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

24

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

25
26
27
28

1

The purpose of this provision is to alert the interested parties to the existence of confidentiality
rights of a Non-Party and to afford the Non-Party an opportunity to protect its confidentiality
interests in this court.

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.

6

12.2

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

7

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

8

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

9

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

10

the material covered by this Protective Order.

11

12.3

Filing Protected Material. Without written permission from the

12

Designating Party or a court order secured after appropriate notice to all interested persons, a

13

Party may not file in the public record in this action any Protected Material. A Party that seeks to

14

file under seal any Protected Material must comply with Civil Local Rule 141. Protected

15

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

16

specific Protected Material at issue. Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 141, a sealing order will issue

17

only upon a request establishing that the Protected Material at issue is privileged, protectable as a

18

trade secret, or otherwise entitled to protection under the law.

19

13.

FINAL DISPOSITION. Within 60 days after the final disposition of this action,

20

as defined in paragraph 4, each Receiving Party must return all Protected Material to the

21

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

22

includes all copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries, and any other format reproducing or

23

capturing any of the Protected Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed,

24

the Receiving Party must submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the

25

same person or entity, to the Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that (1) identifies (by

26

category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was returned or destroyed and (2)

27

affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries

28

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