10

with the discovery and pretrial phase of this action.
This Protective Order shall not preclude any party from withholding any document,

11
12

information or thing on the basis of the attorney-client privilege or attorney work-product

13

doctrine, or otherwise affect any party's claim of privilege with respect to any such document,

return of the inadvertently produced document, information or thing. Further, this Protective

17

Order shall not preclude any party from withholding any document, information or thing the

10

All documents, information and things designated "CONFIDENTIAL"

11

may be used by persons to whom such documents, information and things are properly

counsel. At such time that the parties identify experts pursuant to order of the Court or by

11

supplementation pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 26, a copy of the Confidentiality Pledge with

thereto. In the event that the motion is granted, such person may have access to

8

Any document filed or lodged with the Court in connection with proceedings in this

Filing or Lodging Documents with the Court

action that constitutes or contains "CONFIDENTIAL" documents, information or things shall

10

be filed with the Clerk of the Court in a sealed envelope, prominently endorsed with the caption

11

of the case, an indication of the general nature of the contents, and the following legend:
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

12
13

This envelope is sealed pursuant to the May _____, 2015 Stipulated Protective

14

Order in this action. It contains information designated as "CONFIDENTIAL"

15

and is not to be opened or the contents revealed except by Order of the Court.

16

Notwithstanding the foregoing legend on envelopes containing "CONFIDENTIAL"

17

documents filed with the Court, the Court may open such envelope for purposes of conducting

18

an in camera review of such documents to determine whether the "CONFIDENTIAL"

19

designation is appropriate.

Inadvertent Failure to Designate

21

In the event that a conveying party inadvertently fails to designate documents,

22

information or things as "CONFIDENTIAL" the conveying party may later correct the error by

23

notifying the receiving party of the error in writing and making the appropriate designation in

24

accordance with paragraph 3 above. The receiving party shall thereafter treat the documents,

25

information or things in accordance with the designation and shall take reasonable steps to

26

ensure that any person to whom the receiving party has previously disclosed the documents,

27

information or things treats them in accordance with the designation.

If the conveying party chooses to produce new copies of the documents, information or things

with the appropriate "CONFIDENTIAL" designation, the receiving party shall return any copies

3

of the documents, information or things that were inadvertently produced without the proper

4

"CONFIDENTIAL" designation to the conveying party without retaining any copies thereof.

5

The receiving party shall also make reasonable efforts to obtain and return any improperly

designated documents, information or things and preclude their dissemination and use by any

person to whom the receiving party has previously disclosed the improperly designated

Challenge to Designations
a.

10

A party may challenge any other party's designation of any document,

11

information or thing as "CONFIDENTIAL" at any time. Failure of a party expressly to

12

challenge a designation shall not constitute a waiver by such party of the right to assert at a

13

subsequent time that the designation is not appropriate.
b.

14

In case of disagreement with the designation of any document,

15

information or thing as "CONFIDENTIAL" a party may request in writing that the designating

16

party change the designation.
c.

17

If a party denies a request to change the designation of any document,

18

information or thing as "CONFIDENTIAL" and the requesting party disagrees with the

19

designating party's reasons for such denial or the designating party fails to respond to the

20

request, the requesting party may apply to the Court, in a manner consistent with the Court's

21

Individual Rules applicable to discovery disputes, for an Order removing or changing the

22

designation in the manner stated in the request. On such application, the designating party shall

23

have the burden of proving that the material in question is within the scope of protection

24

afforded by Rule 26 (c) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. No use or disclosure of any

25

document, information or thing designated "CONFIDENTIAL" shall be made, except as

26

otherwise authorized by this Protective Order, unless and until the parties agree or the Court

27

orders that the designation shall be removed.

Inadvertent Disclosure
a.

2

In the event of an inadvertent disclosure of a party's "CONFIDENTIAL”

3

documents, information or things to a person not authorized by this Protective Order to receive

4

such materials, the party making the inadvertent disclosure shall, upon learning of the

5

disclosure:
(i)

6
7

it contains "CONFIDENTIAL" information subject to this Protective Order;
(ii)

8
9
10

promptly notify the person to whom the disclosure was made that

promptly make reasonable efforts to obtain the return of the

"CONFIDENTIAL" documents, information, or things from and preclude its dissemination or
use by the person to whom disclosure was inadvertently made; and
(iii)

11

within five (5) business days, serve the conveying party with a

12

written notice stating the identity of the person to whom the disclosure was made, the nature of

13

and circumstances surrounding the disclosure and the steps taken to obtain the return of the

14

improperly disclosed documents, information or things and to ensure against their further

15

dissemination or use.

Inadvertent Production of Privileged Documents, Information or Things

17

To facilitate the timely production of voluminous documents in compliance with the

18

parties' respective requests for production, the inadvertent production of any privileged

19

document, information or thing shall not be deemed a waiver of such privilege or otherwise

20

affect any party's right to seek return of the inadvertently produced document, information or

21

thing. The party receiving a document, information or thing that appears to be privileged shall

22

promptly notify the conveying party upon becoming aware that the document, information or

23

thing may have been inadvertently produced and, in any event, before making any use of said

24

document, information or thing in its submissions to the Court or otherwise. The fact that a

25

document, information or thing is listed on a party's privilege log shall be prima facie evidence

26

that such document, information or thing has been inadvertently produced, but the failure to list

27

such document, information or thing shall not preclude the conveying party from claiming that

28

the document, information or thing is privileged and was inadvertently produced.

- 9 -

In the event documents, information or things which are claimed to be privileged or

1
2

subject to the work product doctrine are inadvertently produced during discovery, such

3

documents, information or things shall be returned by the receiving party within two days of

4

any written request therefor, unless the receiving party challenges the privileged nature of the

5

documents, information or things in which case the conveying party shall be entitled to make an

6

application to the Court for the return of such documents, information or things. A claimed lack

7

of privilege (and not the inadvertent production) shall be the sole ground for refusing to return

8

inadvertently produced privileged documents, information or things and such documents,

9

information or things shall only be retained while an application to the court is pending. While

10

such application is pending, the receiving party shall not use or divulge the contents of such

11

documents, information or things except to the Court under seal. If the Court finds that the

12

documents, information or things in question are privileged, the receiving party shall promptly

13

return all copies of the inadvertently produced documents, information, or things and not retain

14

any copies, notes or summaries of said documents, information or things. The receiving party

15

shall also make reasonable efforts to obtain and return any inadvertently produced document(s),

16

information or thing(s) and preclude their dissemination and use by any person to whom the

17

receiving party has previously disclosed the inadvertently produced document(s), information or

18

thing(s).

Non-party Information

20

Discovery in this proceeding may involve disclosure by a non-party of its

21

"CONFIDENTIAL" documents, information or things. At the option of a non-party, such

22

documents, information or things may be produced subject to the provisions of this Protective

23

Order and, in that event, shall provide the non-party, with respect to the information produced

24

unless otherwise agreed to, this Protective Order shall survive the final termination of this
