STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
FPDOCS 32629104.1

1

Plaintiff ROBERT WESTFALL (“Plaintiff”, and Defendant BALL METAL

2

BEVERAGE CONTAINER CORP. (“Defendant”), through their counsel, hereby stipulate and

3

agree that discovery and trial in this action may require the disclosure of documents,

4

knowledge and information claimed to contain or constitute private, trade-secret, or

5

confidential matters.

6

Plaintiff and Defendant therefore stipulate and agree to entry of an order by the court

7

governing the use and disclosure of certain documents, knowledge and information revealed or

8

discovered during the course of this action as follows:

9

1.

PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS

10

Disclosure and discovery activity in this action are likely to involve production of

11

confidential, proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public

12

disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may be

13

warranted. 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

17

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

18

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

19

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

20

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

21

court to file material under seal.

22

2.

SCOPE

4

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

5

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

6

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

7

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

8

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

9

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

10

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

11

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

12

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

13

the Receiving Party prior to the disclosure or obtained by the Receiving Party after the

14

disclosure from a source who obtained the information lawfully and under no obligation of

15

confidentiality to the Designating Party. Any use of Protected Material at trial shall be

16

governed by a separate or order, if the court approves such an order.

17

4.

DURATION

18

Even after final disposition of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations imposed by

19

this Order shall remain in effect until a Designating Party agrees otherwise in writing or a court

20

order otherwise directs. Final disposition shall be deemed to be the later of (1) dismissal of all

21

claims and defenses in this action, with or without prejudice; and (2) final judgment herein after

22

the completion and exhaustion of all appeals, rehearings, remands, trials, or reviews of this

23

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

24

pursuant to applicable law.

25

5.

26

DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
5.1

Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection. Each

27

Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under this Order must

28

take care to limit any such designation to specific material that qualifies under the appropriate
3
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
FPDOCS 32629104.1

1

standards. The Designating Party must designate for protection only those parts of material,

2

documents, items, or oral or written communications that qualify – so that other portions of the

3

material, documents, items, or communications for which protection is not warranted are not

4

swept unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order.

5

Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations that are

6

shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper purpose (e.g., to

7

unnecessarily encumber or retard the case development process or to impose unnecessary

8

expenses and burdens on other parties) expose the Designating Party to sanctions.

9

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

10

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

11

other 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

14

ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection under this Order must be

15

clearly so 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

28

and produced, the Producing Party must determine which documents, or portions thereof,
4
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
FPDOCS 32629104.1

1

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

2

Producing Party must affix the “CONFIDENTIAL” legend to each page that contains Protected

3

Material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the

4

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

5

markings in the margins).

6

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

7

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 other

10

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

12

“CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a portion or portions of the information or item warrant protection,

13

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

14

5.3

Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent failure to

15

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

16

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

17

a designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable efforts to assure that the material is

18

treated in accordance with the provisions of this Order.

19

6.

20

CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
6.1

Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a designation of

21

confidentiality at any time. Unless a prompt challenge to a Designating Party’s confidentiality

22

designation is necessary to avoid foreseeable, substantial unfairness, unnecessary economic

23

burdens, or a significant disruption or delay of the litigation, a Party does not waive its right to

24

challenge a confidentiality designation by electing not to mount a challenge promptly after the

25

original designation is disclosed.

26

6.2

Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute resolution

27

process by providing written notice of each designation it is challenging and describing the

28

basis for each challenge. To avoid ambiguity as to whether a challenge has been made, the
5
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
FPDOCS 32629104.1

1

written notice must recite that the challenge to confidentiality is being made in accordance with

2

this specific paragraph of the Protective Order. The parties shall attempt to resolve each

3

challenge in good faith and must begin the process by conferring directly (in voice to voice

4

dialogue; other forms of communication are not sufficient) within 14 days of the date of service

5

of notice. In conferring, the Challenging Party must explain the basis for its belief that the

6

confidentiality designation was not proper and must give the Designating Party an opportunity

7

to review the designated material, to reconsider the circumstances, and, if no change in

8

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

9

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

10

process first or establishes that the Designating Party is unwilling to participate in the meet and

11

confer process in a timely manner.

12

6.3

Judicial Intervention. If the Parties cannot resolve a challenge without court

13

intervention, the Designating Party shall file and serve a motion to retain confidentiality under

14

Civil Local Rule 230 (and in compliance with Civil Local Rule 141, if applicable) within 21

15

days of the initial notice of challenge or within 14 days of the parties agreeing that the meet and

16

confer process will not resolve their dispute, whichever is earlier. Each such motion must be

17

accompanied by a competent declaration affirming that the movant has complied with the meet

18

and confer requirements imposed in the preceding paragraph. Failure by the Designating Party

19

to make such a motion including the required declaration within 21 days (or 14 days, if

20

applicable) shall automatically waive the confidentiality designation for each challenged

21

designation. In addition, the Challenging Party may file a motion challenging a confidentiality

22

designation at any time if there is good cause for doing so, including a challenge to the

23

designation of a deposition transcript or any portions thereof. Any motion brought pursuant to

24

this provision must be accompanied by a competent declaration affirming that the movant has

25

complied with the meet and confer requirements imposed by the preceding paragraph.

26

The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on the Designating

27

Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper purpose (e.g., to harass or impose

28

unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Challenging Party to
6
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
FPDOCS 32629104.1

1

sanctions. Unless the Designating Party has waived the confidentiality designation by failing to

2

file a motion to retain confidentiality as described above, all parties shall continue to afford the

3

material in question the level of protection to which it is entitled under the Producing Party’s

4

designation until the court rules on the challenge.

5

7.

6

ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
7.1

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

7

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

8

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

9

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

10

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

11

section 13 below (FINAL DISPOSITION).

12

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

13

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

14

Order.

15

7.2

Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless otherwise

16

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

17

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

18

(a)

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

19

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

20

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

21

to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A;

22

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

23

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

24

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

25

(c) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is

26

reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and

27

Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);

28

(d) the court and its personnel;
7
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
FPDOCS 32629104.1

1

(e) court reporters and their staff, professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors,

2

and Professional Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and

3

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

4

(f) during their depositions, witnesses in the action to whom disclosure is reasonably

5

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

6

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

7

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

8

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

9

permitted under this Stipulated Protective Order.

10

(g) the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a custodian or

11

other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information.

12

8.

PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN OTHER

13

LITIGATION

14

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

15

compels

16

“CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must:

17
18

disclosure

of

any

information

or

items

designated

in

this

action

as

(a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall include a
copy of the subpoena or court order;

19

(b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order to issue in

20

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

21

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

22

Order; and

23
24

(c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued by the
Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.

25

If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with the

26

subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this action as

27

“CONFIDENTIAL” before a determination by the court from which the subpoena or order

28

issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s permission. The Designating Party
8
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
FPDOCS 32629104.1

1

shall bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in that court of its confidential material

2

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

3

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

4

9.

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

5

THIS LITIGATION

6

(a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a Non-Party in

7

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

8

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

9

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

10

additional protections.

11

(b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to produce a Non-

12

Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is subject to an agreement with

13

the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s confidential information, then the Party shall:

14
15

(1) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party that some or all
of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality agreement with a Non-Party;

16

(2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated Protective Order in

17

this litigation, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably specific description of the

18

information requested; and

19

(3) make the information requested available for inspection by the Non-Party.

20

(c) If the Non-Party fails to object or seek a protective order from this court within 14

21

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

22

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

23

timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall not produce any information in its

24

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

25

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

26

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

27

10.

28

UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed Protected
9
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

FPDOCS 32629104.1

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

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

6

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

7

11.

INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE PROTECTED

8

MATERIAL

9

When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain inadvertently

10

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

11

Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This

12

provision is not intended to modify whatever procedure may be established in an e-discovery

13

order that provides for production without prior privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of

14

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

15

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

16

protection, the parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated protective order

17

submitted to the court.

18

12.

19
20
21

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.
12.2

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

22

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

23

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

24

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

25

material covered by this Protective Order.

26

12.3

Filing Protected Material. A Party that seeks to have any material filed under

27

seal or redacted on the court’s docket must comply with Local Rule 141 (sealing) or 140

28

(redaction); this protective order governing the discovery phase shall not provide a basis for
10
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
FPDOCS 32629104.1

1

filing of sealed or redacted documents on the public docket. The court will only consider requests

2

to seal or redact filed by the proponent of sealing or redaction. If a party plans to make a filing that

3

includes material an opposing party has identified as confidential and potentially subject to sealing, the

4

filing party shall provide the opposing party with sufficient notice in advance of filing to allow for the

5

seeking of an order of sealing or redaction from the court.

6

13.

FINAL DISPOSITION

7

Within 60 days after the final disposition of this action, as defined in paragraph 4, each

8

Receiving Party must return all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such

9

material. As used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts,

10

compilations, summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected

11

Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the Receiving Party must

12

submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the same person or entity, to

13

the Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that (1) identifies (by category, where

14

appropriate) all the Protected Material that was returned or destroyed and (2) affirms that the

15

Receiving Party has not retained any copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other

16

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

17

Counsel are entitled to retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition,

18

and hearing transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert

19

reports, attorney work product, and consultant and expert work product, even if such materials

20

contain Protected Material. Any such archival copies that contain or constitute Protected

21

Material remain subject to this Protective Order as set forth in Section 4 (DURATION).

22
23

IT IS SO STIPULATED, THROUGH COUNSEL OF RECORD.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND AGREEMENT TO BE BOUND

3

I, _____________________________ [print or type full name], of _________________ [print

4

or type full address], declare under penalty of perjury that I have read in its entirety and

5

understand the Stipulated Protective Order that was issued by the United States District Court

6

for the Eastern District of California on [date] in the case of Robert Westfall v. Ball Metal

7

Beverage Container Corporation, Case No. 2:16-CV-02632-KJM-GGH. I agree to comply

8

with and to be bound by all the terms of this Stipulated Protective Order and I understand and

9

acknowledge that failure to so comply could expose me to sanctions and punishment in the

10

nature of contempt. I solemnly promise that I will not disclose in any manner any information
