CASE NO.: 2:13-cv-00789-LKK-EFB
JOINT PROTECTIVE ORDER
v.
ELI LILLY AND COMPANY,
Defendant.
9
10
The parties (“Parties”), through their counsel of record, hereby stipulate and respectfully
11
request that the Court enter the following Protective Order (the “Order”) pursuant to Rule 26 of
12
the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, in order to expedite the flow of discovery material, facilitate
13
the prompt resolution of disputes over confidentiality, adequately protect confidential material,
14
and ensure that protection is afforded only to material so entitled.
15
1.
16
This Order applies to all products of discovery and all information derived therefrom,
17
including, but not limited to, all documents, objects or things, deposition testimony and
18
interrogatory/request for admission responses, and any copies, excerpts or summaries thereof,
19
obtained by any party pursuant to the requirements of any court order, requests for production of
20
documents, requests for admissions, interrogatories, or subpoena (“Discovery Materials”). This
21
Order is limited to the litigation or appeal of this action (“this Litigation”).
Discovery Materials
22
2.
23
With the exception of documents or information that have become publicly available
24
without a breach of the terms of this Order, or any other legal obligation to safeguard and
25
maintain confidentiality, all documents, information or other Discovery Materials produced or
26
discovered in this Litigation, and that have been designated “Confidential Discovery Materials,”
27
shall be used by the receiving party solely for the prosecution or defense of this Litigation, to the
28
extent reasonably necessary to accomplish the purpose for which disclosure is made, and not for
1380873.2
2
Use of Discovery Materials
JOINT PROTECTIVE ORDER
1
any other purpose, including any other litigation or judicial proceedings, or any business,
2
competitive, governmental, commercial, or administrative purpose or function.
3
3.
4
For the purposes of this Order, “Confidential Discovery Materials” shall mean any non-
5
public information that the producing party reasonably and in good faith believes is properly
6
protected under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c)(1)(G) or other state or federal law.
7
Specifically excluded from Confidential Discovery Materials are (a) any documents that have
8
been, or in the future will be, designated as not confidential by order of any court, but not before
9
the time-period to object to such designation has passed, and in the event that the court denies
10
said objection, not before the time-period to appeal the objection has passed, or an appellate court
11
has ruled on the designation of the document (b) any documents obtained in the past or in the
12
future, by any person or entity through procedures established under the Freedom of Information
13
Act. In the event of a dispute as to whether a document is available through the Freedom of
14
Information Act, the issue will be resolved by plaintiff’s counsel making an appropriate request
15
for the release of such documents from the relevant government agency.
“Confidential Discovery Materials” Defined
16
Where large volumes of Discovery Materials are provided to the requesting party’s
17
counsel for preliminary inspection and designation for production, prior to a formal production,
18
and have not been reviewed for confidentiality purposes, the producing party reserves the right to
19
so designate and redact appropriate Discovery Materials after they are designated by the
20
requesting party for formal production. During the preliminary inspection process, and before
21
formal production, all Discovery Materials reviewed by the requesting party’s counsel shall be
22
treated as Confidential Discovery Materials.
23
4.
24
Designation of Documents as “Confidential”
a.
For the purposes of this Order, the term “document” means all tangible
25
items, whether written, recorded or graphic, whether produced or created by a party or another
26
person, whether produced pursuant to subpoena, to discovery request, by agreement, or otherwise.
27
28
b.
Any document which the producing party intends to designate as
Confidential shall be stamped (or otherwise have the legend recorded upon it in a way that brings
3
1380873.2
JOINT PROTECTIVE ORDER
1
the legend to the attention of a reasonable examiner) with a notation substantially similar to the
2
following, identifying the party that made the designation:
3
Confidential and Subject to Protective Order
Eli Lilly and Company – Prozac Products Liability Litigation (BD)
4
5
Such stamping or marking will take place prior to production by the producing person, or
6
subsequent to selection by the receiving party for copying. The stamp shall be affixed in such a
7
manner as not to obliterate or obscure any written material.
8
Confidential information disclosed by a third-party shall be covered by this Order if a
9
party notifies all other parties within thirty (30) days of receipt of such information that the
10
information or portions thereof constitute Confidential Discovery Material. Until the expiration
11
of the thirty (30) days following receipt of such information, the information disclosed by any
12
such third party shall be treated as Confidential Discovery Material under this Order.
13
5.
14
Except with the prior written consent of the party or other person originally producing
15
Confidential Discovery Materials, or as hereinafter provided under this Order, no Confidential
16
Discovery Materials, or any portion thereof, may be disclosed to any person except as set forth in
17
Section 6 below.
Non-Disclosure of Confidential Discovery Materials
18
To avoid security risks currently inherent in certain technologies and to facilitate
19
compliance with the terms of this Order, and unless the party whose confidential information is at
20
issue agrees otherwise in writing, all persons given access to Confidential Discovery Materials
21
under Section 6 below, shall be and are prohibited from storing or transmitting any confidential
22
information via any online or web-based storage location or service, when such storage location
23
or service is managed or maintained by any third-party service provider, including any provider
24
of so called “cloud computing” services, other than a reputable litigation support service provider
25
with a secure document hosting facility that uses encrypted web-enabled software that allows for
26
secure and protected sharing and collaboration concerning said documents amongst only
27
authorized counsel and that does not employ so-called “cloud computing” services.
28
1380873.2
4
JOINT PROTECTIVE ORDER
1
Notwithstanding the foregoing provision, a person with access to Confidential Discovery
2
Materials under Section 6 below, shall not be prohibited from transmitting to any other person
3
identified under Section 6 below, a reasonably limited number of files containing Confidential
4
Discovery Materials through electronic mail, as attachments to an electronic mail in the form of
5
separate PDF files (and not as zip files or links to files), as long as the person transmitting the
6
files takes reasonable steps to protect the confidentiality of the files.

5
must be informed of this Protective Order and either sign a copy of the Endorsement attached
6
hereto as Exhibit “A” or consent under oath to abide by its provisions. The parties agree that this
7
provision does not preclude the producing party from objecting to or moving to preclude

disclosure to any deponent or witness, or to seek amendment of this provision in the future, if it
9
believes it has a good faith basis for such objection or motion;
10
11
12
g.
outside consultants or outside experts retained for the purpose of assisting

JOINT PROTECTIVE ORDER

shall retain copies of the executed Endorsement(s) of Protective Order. Any party seeking a copy
2
of an Endorsement may make a demand setting forth the reasons therefor to which the opposing
3
party will respond in writing. If the dispute cannot be resolved, the demanding party may move

9
Before disclosing Confidential Discovery Materials to any person listed in
10
subparagraphs (d) through (l) who is a Customer or Competitor (or an employee of either) of the

13
advance notice in writing to the counsel who designated such Discovery Materials as confidential,

stating that such disclosure will be made, identifying by subject matter category the Confidential
15
Discovery Materials to be disclosed, and stating the purposes of such disclosure. If, within the
16
fourteen (14) business day period, a motion is filed objecting to the proposed disclosure,
17
disclosure is not permissible until the Court has denied such motion. As used in this paragraph,
18
(a) the term “Customer” means any direct purchaser of products from the party that designated
19
the Confidential Discovery Materials, or any regular indirect purchaser of products from the party
20
that designated the Confidential Discovery Materials (such as a pharmacy generally purchasing

2
of the party producing the Confidential Discovery Materials, destroyed at the completion of the

8
Redaction and/or Withholding of Confidential Discovery Material
and/or withheld from Documents produced to the extent it is irrelevant:
9
a.

10
information that would identify the person using the product, except that any information
11
identifying the plaintiff(s) shall not be redacted or withheld;
12
b.
names and any information contained in adverse reaction reports, product

27
any particular information described in or redacted pursuant to Paragraph 7 is necessarily
28
irrelevant.
1380873.2
Both parties reserve the right to challenge any and all redaction or withholding,
8
JOINT PROTECTIVE ORDER
1
whether made pursuant to this Paragraph 7 or otherwise.
2
containing a redaction made on the grounds of non-relevance, a party has a good faith basis for
3
challenging the redaction, counsel for the parties shall initially attempt to resolve the issue
4
through discussions. If these discussions are unsuccessful, the party contending that redacted
5
information is relevant may move the Court for in camera inspection and determination of
6
relevance.
If, after reviewing a document
7
8.
8
Any non-party who is producing Discovery Materials in this Litigation may agree to and
9
obtain the benefits of the terms and protections of this Order by designating as “Confidential” the
10
Production of Confidential Discovery Materials by Non-Parties
Discovery Materials that the non-party is producing, as set forth in Section 4.
11
9.
12
Inadvertent Disclosures
a.
The parties agree that the inadvertent disclosure (as defined under Federal
13
Rule of Evidence 502) of any Discovery Materials that would be protected from disclosure
14
pursuant to the attorney-client privilege, the work product doctrine, or any other relevant privilege
15
or doctrine shall not constitute a waiver of the applicable privilege or doctrine. If any such
16
Discovery Materials are inadvertently produced, the recipient of the Discovery Materials agrees
17
that, upon request from the producing party, it will promptly return the Discovery Materials and
18
all copies in its possession, including those shared with its experts, consultants, agents, and other
19
persons identified in Section 6 (f),(g), and (i), delete any versions of the Discovery Materials on
20
any database it maintains, including electronic copies stored on any litigation-support database, e-
21
mails, and servers, make no use of the information contained in the Discovery Materials, destroy
22
any notes or work product reflecting the contents of inadvertently produced Discovery Materials,
23
and provide certification of counsel that all such inadvertently disclosed information has been
24
returned or destroyed; provided, however, that the party returning such Discovery Materials shall
25
have the right to apply to the Court for an order that such Discovery Materials are not protected
26
from disclosure by any privilege. Until the parties have resolved any dispute concerning the
27
privileged nature of any inadvertently produced Discovery Materials, or the Court has issued an
28
order concerning the disputed materials, no use shall be made of the disputed materials during
9
1380873.2
JOINT PROTECTIVE ORDER
1
depositions, in motions, or at trial, nor shall they be disclosed to any party or individual who was
2
not given access to such materials before discovery of the inadvertent production.
3
b.
The parties further agree that in the event the producing party or other
4
person inadvertently fails to designate Discovery Materials as confidential, it may make such a
5
designation subsequently by notifying all persons and parties to whom such Discovery Materials
6
were produced, in writing, within thirty (30) days of the producing party’s or other third person’s
7
discovery of the inadvertent failure to designate. After receipt of such timely notification, the
8
persons to whom production has been made shall treat the designated Discovery Materials as
9
confidential, subject to their right to dispute such designation in accordance with Section 10.
10
Each receiving party shall further notify every person or organization that received copies of or
11
access to the material identified in the notice that such material contains Confidential Discovery
12
Material.
13
c.
The inadvertent production of any unredacted Confidential Discovery
14
Materials that would otherwise be subject to redaction under Section 3 shall not be deemed a
15
waiver, in whole or in part, of any party’s claim of confidentiality of such information.
16
10.
17
18
Declassification
a.
Nothing shall prevent disclosure beyond that limited by this Order if the
producing party consents in writing to such disclosure.
19
b.
If at any time a party (or aggrieved entity permitted by the Court to
20
intervene for such purpose) wishes for any reason to dispute a designation of Discovery Materials
21
as “Confidential” made hereunder, such person shall make reasonable efforts to notify within 90
22
days of production of the Confidential Discovery Materials specifying by exact Bates number(s)
23
the Confidential Discovery Materials in dispute. This provision shall not prevent any party from
24
challenging a confidentiality designation at a later date if reasonable efforts were made to identify
25
and challenge the disputed Discovery Materials. The designating party shall respond in writing
26
within ten (10) business days of receiving this notification. Notification of any such dispute does
27
not in any way suspend the operation of this Order.
28
1380873.2
10
JOINT PROTECTIVE ORDER
1
c.
If a party contends that any document has been erroneously or improperly
2
designated or not designated as Confidential Discovery Material or has been erroneously or
3
improperly redacted or not redacted, the document or information at issue should be treated as
4
confidential until either the parties reach a written agreement or this Court issues an order
5
determining that the document is not confidential and shall not be given confidential treatment.
6
d.
If the parties are unable to amicably resolve the dispute, the proponent of
7
confidentiality may apply by motion to the Court for a ruling that Discovery Materials stamped as
8
“Confidential” are entitled to such status and protection under Rule 26 of the Federal Rules of
9
Civil Procedure and this Order, provided that such motion is made within thirty (30) days from
10
the date the challenger of the Confidential designation challenges the designation.
11
designating party shall have the burden of proof on such motion to establish the propriety of its
12
Confidential designation.
13
e.
The
If the time for filing a motion, as provided in Section 10(d), has expired
14
without the filing of any such motion, or ten (10) business days have elapsed after the appeal
15
period for an order of this Court that the Discovery Materials shall not be entitled to confidential
16
status, the Confidential Discovery Materials shall lose their designation.
17
11.
18
Confidential Discovery Materials in Depositions
a.
Protected documents may be used or marked as exhibits in depositions but
19
shall remain subject to this Order. Confidential Discovery Materials shown to any witness during
20
a deposition shall not lose their confidential status through such use, and counsel shall exercise
21
their best efforts and take all steps reasonably required to protect their confidentiality during such
22
use.
23
b.
If a party wishes to show Confidential Discovery Materials to such a
24
deponent or witness before or during a deposition, the deponent must be informed of this
25
Protective Order and either sign a copy of the Endorsement attached hereto as Exhibit “A” or
26
consent under oath to abide by its provisions. The parties agree that this provision does not
27
preclude the producing party from objecting to or moving to preclude disclosure to any deponent
28
or witness, or to seek amendment of this provision in the future, if it believes it has a good faith
1380873.2
11
JOINT PROTECTIVE ORDER
1
basis for such objection or motion. Deponents shall not retain or copy portions of the transcript
2
of their depositions that contain Confidential information not provided by them or the entities
3
they represent unless they sign the form described, and otherwise comply with the provisions in
4
Section 6. While a deponent is being examined about any Confidential Discovery Materials or the
5
confidential information contained therein, persons to whom disclosure is not authorized under
6
this Order shall be excluded from being present.
7
c.
Parties (and deponents) may, within thirty (30) days after receiving the
8
hard copy of the final transcript of a deposition, designate pages of the transcript (and exhibits
9
thereto) as Confidential. Until expiration of such thirty (30) day period, the entire transcript,
10
including exhibits, will be treated as subject to protection under this Order. Subject to the
11
procedures outlined in Section 10(b), if no party or deponent timely designates a transcript as
12
confidential, then none of the transcript or its exhibits will be treated as confidential. If a
13
designation is made, all such testimony, each deposition transcript, recording, or portion thereof,
14
and each exhibit that is so designated, shall be treated as Confidential Discovery Material unless
15
otherwise agreed to by the parties or directed by order of the Court.
16
12.
17
Confidential Discovery Materials and the information therein may be offered in evidence
18
at trial or any court hearing, provided that the proponent of the evidence gives at least five (5)
19
days’ notice to counsel for the party or other person that designated the Discovery Materials or
20
information as confidential in accordance with the Federal Rules of Evidence and any local rules,
21
standing orders, or rulings in this Litigation governing identification and use of exhibits at trial.
22
Any party may move the Court for an order that the evidence be received in camera or under
23
other conditions to prevent unnecessary disclosure. The Court will then determine whether the
24
proffered evidence should continue to be treated as confidential and, if so, what protection, if any,
25
may be afforded to such Discovery Materials or information at trial.
Confidential Discovery Materials Offered as Evidence at Trial

27
Before filing any Confidential Discovery Materials with the Court, the party wishing to
28
file such Confidential Discovery Materials shall request that the materials be sealed in
1380873.2
12
Filing Confidential Discovery Materials With The Court
JOINT PROTECTIVE ORDER
1
conformance with applicable law, including, but not limited to, Local Rule 141. Any motion for
2
a sealing order shall address the controlling case law on the standards for sealing court
3
documents. A party may not file Confidential Discovery Materials unless filed under seal.
4
Nothing herein shall supersede or interfere with the parties’ right to designate documents under
5
Section 10 of this Order. Said Confidential Discovery Materials shall be kept under seal until
6
further order of the Court; however, said Confidential Discovery Materials and other papers filed
7
under seal shall be available to the Court, to counsel of record, and to all other persons entitled to
8
receive the confidential information contained therein.
9
14.
Client Consultation
10
Nothing in this Order shall prevent or otherwise restrict counsel from rendering advice to
11
their clients in this Litigation and, in the course thereof, relying on examination of Confidential
12
Discovery Materials; provided, however, that in rendering such advice and otherwise
13
communicating with such client, counsel shall not make specific disclosure of any item so
14
designated except pursuant to the procedures of Section 6.
15
15.
16
If another court or an administrative agency subpoenas or otherwise orders production of
17
Confidential Discovery Materials which a person has obtained under the terms of this Order, the
18
person to whom the subpoena or other process is directed shall promptly notify counsel for the
19
designating party in writing via fax and overnight delivery, provide a copy of the subpoena, and
20
provide all of the following: (1) the Discovery Materials that are requested for production in the
21
subpoena; (2) the date on which compliance with the subpoena is requested; (3) the location at
22
which compliance with the subpoena is requested; (4) the identity of the party serving the
23
subpoena; and (5) the case name, jurisdiction and index, docket, complaint, charge, civil action or
24
other identification number or other designation identifying the litigation, administrative
25
proceeding or other proceeding in which the subpoena or other process has been issued. In no
26
event shall Confidential Discovery Materials be produced prior to the expiration of five (5)
27

28
Subpoena by other Courts or Agencies
person receiving the subpoena or other process shall cooperate with the producing party in any
13
1380873.2
JOINT PROTECTIVE ORDER
1
proceeding related thereto. The subpoenaed party will not oppose the producing party’s effort to
2
intervene in the proceeding, quash the subpoena, or take other reasonable action to seek
3
appropriate relief, with the cost of such opposition to the subpoena to be borne by the producing
4
party unless otherwise agreed to by the parties.
5
Additionally, the person subpoenaed must inform the subpoena’s issuer of this Order and
6
provide the subpoena’s issuer with a copy of this Order. Furthermore, with respect to any
7
subpoena, the designating party has the burden and the expense of seeking the protection in the
8
applicable court. No party will object to the designating party having a reasonable opportunity to
9
appear in any litigation or proceeding commanding disclosure of such protected material for the
10
sole purpose of seeking to prevent or restrict disclosure thereof.
11
16.
12
The provisions of this Order shall not terminate at the conclusion of this Litigation.
13
Within ninety (90) days after final conclusion of all aspects of this Litigation (including without
14
limitation any appeals and after the time for filing all appellate proceedings has passed), each
15
party shall return all Confidential Discovery Materials to counsel for the party that produced
16
them, shall destroy them, or otherwise comply with an applicable order of the Court. The return
17
or destruction of the Confidential Discovery Materials under this paragraph shall include, without
18
limitation, all copies, and duplicates thereof. If counsel elects to destroy Confidential Discovery
19
Materials, they shall consult with counsel for the producing party on the manner of destruction
20
and obtain such party’s consent to the method and means of destruction. All counsel of record
21
shall make certification of compliance herewith and shall deliver the same to counsel for the party
22
who produced the Confidential Discovery Materials not more than one hundred twenty (120) days
23
after final termination of this Litigation. Counsel of record, however, shall not be required to
24
return or destroy any pretrial or trial records as are regularly maintained by that counsel in the
25
ordinary course of business, which includes: (i) one full set of copies of all pleadings, affidavits,
26
declarations, briefs, memoranda, expert reports, exhibits and other papers filed with the Court and
27
that contain Confidential Discovery Materials; (ii) their work-product; and (iii) one set of
28
Non-termination
transcripts of all testimony taken at any depositions, hearings or trial (with exhibits). Any such
14
1380873.2
JOINT PROTECTIVE ORDER
1
materials that are not returned or destroyed shall remain subject to this Order, and the Court shall
2
retain jurisdiction to ensure that the terms hereof are not violated.

4
Nothing in this Order shall prevent any party or other person from seeking modification of
5
Modification Permitted
this Order or from objecting to discovery that it believes to be otherwise improper.
6
18.
7
The attorneys of record are responsible for employing reasonable measures, consistent
8
with this Order, to control and record duplication of, access to, and distribution of Confidential
9
Discovery Materials, including abstracts and summaries thereof.
Responsibility of Attorneys; Copies
10
No duplications of Confidential Discovery Materials shall be made except for providing
11
working copies and for filing in Court under seal; provided, however, that copies may be made
12
only by those persons specified in Sections (a), (b) and (c) of Section 6 above. Any copy
13
provided to a person listed in Section 6 shall be returned to counsel of record upon completion of
14
the purpose for which such copy was provided. In the event of a change in counsel, retiring
15
counsel shall fully instruct new counsel of their responsibilities under this Order and new counsel
16
shall sign this Order.

No Waiver of Rights or Implication of Discoverability
a.
No disclosure pursuant to any provision of this Order shall waive any
rights or privileges of any party granted by this Order.
20
b.
This Order shall not enlarge or affect the proper scope of discovery in this
21
or any other litigation; nor shall this order imply that Confidential Discovery Materials are
22
properly discoverable, relevant, or admissible in this or any other litigation. Each party reserves
23
the right to object to any disclosure of information or production of any documents that the
24
producing party designates as Confidential Discovery Materials on any other ground it may deem
25
appropriate.
26

c.
The entry of this Order shall be without prejudice to the rights of the
parties, or any one of them, or of any non-party, to assert or apply for additional or different
