[PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER RE: PRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS
BY NON-PARTY FDIC

1

WHEREAS, the FDIC has determined that the requirements for discretionary disclosure

2

under 12 C.F.R. § 309.6(b)(8) have been satisfied, and has therefore authorized disclosure of the

3

records identified in Exhibit A hereto (Confidential Records), provided that such disclosure is

4

made strictly under the terms and conditions of this Protective Order;

5

NOW THEREFORE, the Court hereby orders the following:

6

1.

The Confidential Records, and all information contained therein or related thereto,

7

shall be held strictly confidential and may be examined and used only in connection with the

8

preparation, discovery in connection with, trial, and appeal of the Litigation.

9

2.

No person, including, without limitation, the parties to the Litigation, their counsel,

10

the Court, the Clerk of the Court, court reporters, or any employee or agent of any of the

11

foregoing, shall transcribe, copy, or disclose in any manner any information contained in or

12

related to the Confidential Records, except upon order of the Court or as necessary for the limited

13

purpose of the preparation, discovery in connection with, trial, and appeal of the Litigation.

14

Subject to paragraphs 4 and 5 below, nothing in the preceding sentence is intended to prevent or

15

prohibit the use of information contained in the Confidential Records for the purpose of

16

interrogating witnesses at depositions or in the trial of the Litigation.

17

3.

If any of the Confidential Records or portions thereof are included in discovery

18

documents filed with the Clerk of the Court, or in the event any information contained in or

19

related to such Confidential Records is to be used in the trial of the Litigation, upon order of the

20

court, the Clerk of the Court shall keep such documents in a sealed envelope or in such other

21

manner as shall make the documents unavailable for public scrutiny.

22

4.

Any party offering any of the Confidential Records into evidence in the trial of the

23

Litigation, or in connection there with, shall offer only those pages or portions thereof that are

24

relevant and material to the issues in dispute, and shall block out any portion of any page that

25

26

contained on any page of the Confidential Records who is not a party to the Litigation, or whose

27

name is not otherwise relevant and material to the issues in dispute, shall be blocked out prior to

28

the admission of such page into evidence. If there is disagreement between the parties to the
[PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER RE: PRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS
BY NON-PARTY FDIC

1

Litigation regarding what page or portion of any page of the Confidential Records should be

2

blocked out in the manner described in this paragraph, the Court shall make this determination

3

after an in camera review of the Confidential Records in question.

4

5.

If any portion of the Confidential Records is used for any purpose in the Litigation,

5

including without limitation, use in any deposition, hearing, trial, or appeal, such portion of the

6

Confidential Records shall be sealed against any disclosure inconsistent with the terms and

7

conditions of this Protective Order and pursuant to court rules, and any briefs, transcripts or other

8

writing quoting or referring to any statement contained in such portion of the Confidential

9

Records shall also be sealed against any such disclosure as the court orders.

10

6.

At the conclusion of the Litigation (including any appeal), all Confidential Records in

11

the possession or control of any person granted access to the Confidential Records under this

12

Protective Order, including all copies, extracts and summaries thereof, shall forthwith be returned

13

to the Deputy Regional Counsel, FDIC Legal Division, at 25 Jessie Street, Suite 1400, San

14

Francisco, CA 94105, or shall be otherwise disposed of as directed by the Assistant General

15

Counsel or his designee.

16

7.

Any person granted access under this Stipulation and Protective Order to any of the

17

Confidential Records, or to information contained therein or related thereto, who uses such

18

Confidential Records or such information for any purpose other than the preparation, discovery in

19

20

this Protective Order, shall be subject to sanctioning by the Court.

21

8.

The term and conditions of this Stipulation and Protective Order apply to any

22

subsequent or supplemental process that may be issued and served on the FDIC in connection

23

with the Litigation.

24

The Confidential Testimony and Confidential Records shall include all records or

25

testimony identified in any amendments or modifications of Exhibit A. Any such amendment or

26

modification shall be effective, without need for approval by the Court or the parties to the

27

Litigation, upon notice by the FDIC to the parties.

28
[PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER RE: PRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS

1

10. Disclosure of the Confidential Records under the terms and conditions of this
