PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS
21
Disclosure and discovery activity in this action are likely to involve production of
22
confidential, proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public
23
disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may be warranted.
24
Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the court to enter the following
25
Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this Order does not confer blanket
26
protections on all disclosures or responses to discovery and that the protection it affords from
27
public disclosure and use extends only to the limited information or items that are entitled to
28
confidential treatment under the applicable legal principles. The parties further acknowledge, as
-1STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
SF/2655013v1
1
set forth in Section 12.3, below, that this Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file
2
confidential information under seal; Civil Local Rules 141 and 141.1 and General Order 164 set
3
forth the procedures that must be followed and the standards that will be applied when a party
4
seeks permission from the court to file material under seal and/or for a protective order relating
5
to the admission of evidence at trial.

(as defined above), but also (1) any information copied or extracted from Protected Material; (2)
24
all copies, excerpts, summaries, or compilations of Protected Material; and (3) any testimony,
25
conversations, or presentations by Parties or their Counsel that might reveal Protected Material.
26
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
28
Receiving Party or becomes part of the public domain after its disclosure to a Receiving Party as
-3STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
SF/2655013v1
1
a result of publication not involving a violation of this Order, including becoming part of the
2
public record through trial or otherwise; and (b) any information known to the Receiving Party
3
prior to the disclosure or obtained by the Receiving Party after the disclosure from a source who
4
obtained the information lawfully and under no obligation of confidentiality to the Designating
5
Party. Any use of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by a separate agreement or order.
4.
6
DURATION
7
Even after final disposition of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations imposed by
8
this Order shall remain in effect until a Designating Party agrees otherwise in writing or a court
9
order otherwise directs. Final disposition shall be deemed to be the later of (1) dismissal of all
10
claims and defenses in this action, with or without prejudice; and (2) final judgment herein after
11
the completion and exhaustion of all appeals, rehearings, remands, trials, or reviews of this
12
action, including the time limits for filing any motions or applications for extension of time
13
pursuant to applicable law.

5.
15
DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
5.1
Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection. Each Party
16
or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under this Order must take care
17
to limit any such designation to specific material that qualifies under the appropriate standards.
18
The Designating Party must designate for protection only those parts of material, documents,
19
items, or oral or written communications that qualify – so that other portions of the material,
20
documents, items, or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept
21
unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order.
22
Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations that are
23
shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper purpose (e.g., to
24
unnecessarily encumber or retard the case development process or to impose unnecessary
25
expenses and burdens on other parties) expose the Designating Party to sanctions.
26
If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it designated
27
for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must promptly notify all other
28
Parties that it is withdrawing the mistaken designation.
-4STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
SF/2655013v1
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
8
Party affix the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEY’S
9
EYES ONLY” to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a portion or portions of the
10
material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the
11
protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins).
12
A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents or materials available for inspection
13
need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated which
14
material it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and before the designation, all
15
of the material made available for inspection shall be deemed “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL –
16
ATTORNEY’S EYES ONLY.” After the inspecting Party has identified the documents it wants
17
copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine which documents, or portions thereof,
18
qualify for protection under this Order. Then, before producing the specified documents, the
19
Producing Party must affix the “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL –
20
ATTORNEY’S EYES ONLY” legend to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a
21
portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also
22
must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the
23
margins).
24
(b) for testimony given in deposition or in other pretrial or trial proceedings, that the
25
Designating Party identify on the record, before the close of the deposition, hearing, or other
26
proceeding, all protected testimony and note on the record whether the protected testimony is
27
“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEY’S EYES ONLY”.
28
-5STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
SF/2655013v1
(c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and for any other
1
2
tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the exterior of the
3
container or containers in which the information or item is stored the legend “CONFIDENTIAL”
4
or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEY’S EYES ONLY” as appropriate. If only a
5
portion or portions of the information or item warrant protection, the Producing Party, to the
6
extent practicable, shall identify the protected portion(s).
5.3
7
Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent failure to
8
designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive the Designating Party’s
9
right to secure protection under this Order for such material. Upon timely correction of a
10
designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable efforts to assure that the material is
11
treated in accordance with the provisions of this Order.
12
13
6.
CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
6.1
Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a designation of
14
confidentiality at any time. Unless a prompt challenge to a Designating Party’s confidentiality
15
designation is necessary to avoid foreseeable, substantial unfairness, unnecessary economic
16
burdens, or a significant disruption or delay of the litigation, a Party does not waive its right to
17
challenge a confidentiality designation by electing not to mount a challenge promptly after the
18
original designation is disclosed.
19
6.2
Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute resolution
20
process by providing written notice of each designation it is challenging and describing the basis
21
for each challenge. To avoid ambiguity as to whether a challenge has been made, the written
22
notice must recite that the challenge to confidentiality is being made in accordance with this
23
specific paragraph (6.2) of the Protective Order. The parties shall attempt to resolve each
24
challenge in good faith and must begin the process by conferring directly (in voice to voice
25
dialogue; other forms of communication are not sufficient) within 7 days of the date of service of
26
notice. In conferring, the Challenging Party must explain the basis for its belief that the
27
confidentiality designation was not proper and must give the Designating Party an opportunity to
28
-6STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
SF/2655013v1
1
review the designated material, to reconsider the circumstances, and, if no change in designation
2
is offered, to explain the basis for the chosen designation.
3
6.3
Judicial Intervention.
4
If the Parties cannot resolve a challenge without court intervention, the Designating Party
5
shall file and serve a motion to retain confidentiality under Civil Local Rule 141 (and in
6
compliance with General Order 164, if applicable) within 21 days of the initial notice of
7
challenge or within 14 days of the parties agreeing that the meet and confer process will not
8
resolve their dispute, whichever is earlier. Each such motion must be accompanied by a
9
competent declaration affirming that the movant has complied with the meet and confer
10
requirements imposed in the preceding paragraph. Failure by the Designating Party to make such
11
a motion including the required declaration within 21 days (or 14 days, if applicable) shall
12
automatically waive the confidentiality designation for each challenged designation. In addition,
13
the Challenging Party may file a motion challenging a confidentiality designation at any time if
14
there is good cause for doing so, including a challenge to the designation of a deposition
15
transcript or any portions thereof. Any motion brought pursuant to this provision must be
16
accompanied by a competent declaration affirming that the movant has complied with the meet
17
and confer requirements imposed by the preceding paragraph.
18
The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on the Designating
19
Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper purpose (e.g., to harass or impose
20
unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Challenging Party to
21
sanctions. Pending the resolution of any challenge filed, all parties shall continue to afford the
22
material in question the level of protection to which it is entitled under the Producing Party’s
23
designation until the court rules on the challenge.
24
25
7.
ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
7.1
Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is disclosed
26
or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this case only for
27
prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this litigation. Such Protected Material may be
28
disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the conditions described in this Order.
-7STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
SF/2655013v1
1
When the litigation has been terminated, a Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of
2
section 13 below (FINAL DISPOSITION).
3
Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a location and
4
in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons authorized under this Order.
5
7.2
Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless otherwise
6
ordered by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a Receiving Party may
7
disclose any information or item designated “CONFIDENTIAL” only to:
8
(a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this action, as well as employees
9
of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably necessary to disclose the information

20
disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation;
21
(f) during their depositions, witnesses in the action to whom disclosure is reasonably
22
necessary and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit
23
A), unless otherwise agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the court. A Designating
24
Party intending to use a document designated “CONFIDENTIAL” during the deposition of a
25
witness of the Receiving Party will provide two (2) business days notice of such intent to counsel
26
for the Receiving Party. Pages of transcribed deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that
27
reveal Protected Material must be separately bound by the court reporter and may not be
28
disclosed to anyone except as permitted under this Stipulated Protective Order.

OTHER LITIGATION
If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation that compels
disclosure of any information or items designated in this action by anyone other than itself as
28
-9STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
SF/2655013v1

“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEY’S EYES ONLY” that
2
Party must:
(a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall include a
3
4
copy of the subpoena or court order;
5
(b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order to issue in the
6
other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the subpoena or order is subject to this
7
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
8
9
Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.
If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with the
10
11
subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this action as
12
“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEY’S EYES ONLY” before a
13
determination by the court from which the subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has
14
obtained the Designating Party’s written permission. The Designating Party shall bear the burden
15
and expense of seeking protection in that court of its confidential material – and nothing in these
16
provisions should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this action to
17
disobey a lawful directive from another court.

9.
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
21
this action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL –
22
ATTORNEY’S EYES ONLY.” Such information produced by Non-Parties in connection with
23
this litigation is protected by the remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in these
24
provisions should be construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional protections.
25
(b)
In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to produce a
26
Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is subject to an agreement
27
with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s confidential information, then the Party shall:
28
(1)
promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party that
-10STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
SF/2655013v1
1
some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality agreement with a Non-
2
Party;
(2)
3
promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated Protective
4
Order in this litigation, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably specific description of
5
the information requested; and
(3)
6
(c)
7
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
8
days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Party may produce the Non-
9
Party’s confidential information responsive to the discovery request. If the Non-Party timely
10
seeks a protective order, the Party shall not produce any information in its possession or control
11
that is subject to the confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a determination by the
12
court.1 Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the burden and expense of
13
seeking protection in this court of its Protected Material.
10.
14
UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
If anyone subject to this order learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed
15
16
Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this Stipulated
17
Protective Order, that person must immediately (a) notify in writing the Designating Party of the
18
unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the
19
Protected Material, (c) inform the person or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were
20
made of all the terms of this Order, and (d) request such person or persons to execute the
21
“Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

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.

Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This
2
provision is not intended to modify whatever procedure may be established in an e-discovery

order that provides for production without prior privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of
4
Evidence 502(d) and (e), insofar as the parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure of a
5
communication or information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work product

submitted to the court.

Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any person to
seek its modification by the court in the future.
12.2
11
Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this Protective
12
Order no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to disclosing or producing any
13
information or item on any ground not addressed in this Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly,
14
no Party waives any right to object on any ground to use in evidence of any of the material
15
covered by this Protective Order.
12.3
16
Filing Protected Material. Without written permission from the Designating Party
17
or a court order secured after appropriate notice to all interested persons, a Party may not file any
18
Protected Material in the public record in this action. A Party that seeks to file under seal any
19
Protected Material must comply with Civil Local Rule 141 and General Order 164. Protected
20
Material may only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the
21
specific Protected Material at issue. If a Receiving Party's request to file Protected Material
22
under seal pursuant to Civil Local Rule 141 and General Order 164 is denied by the court, then
23
the Receiving Party may file the information in the public record.
24
25
13.
FINAL DISPOSITION
Within 60 days after the final disposition of this action, as defined in paragraph 4, each
26
Receiving Party must return all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such
27
material. As used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts,
28
compilations, summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected
-12STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
SF/2655013v1
1
Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the Receiving Party must
2
submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the same person or entity, to the
3
Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained
4
any copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or capturing any
5
of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are entitled to retain an
6
archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition, and hearing transcripts, legal
7
memoranda, correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert reports, attorney work product,
8
and consultant and expert work product, even if such materials contain Protected Material. Any
9
such archival copies that contain or constitute Protected Material remain subject to this
10
Protective Order as set forth in Section 4 (DURATION).
