PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS
Disclosure and discovery activity in this action are likely to involve production of confidential,

3

proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public disclosure and from use

4

for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may be warranted. Accordingly, the parties

5

hereby stipulate to and petition the court to enter the following Stipulated Protective Order. The

6

parties acknowledge that this Order does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses

7

to discovery and that the protection it affords from public disclosure and use extends only to the

8

limited information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment under the applicable legal

9

principles. The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 12.3, below, that this Stipulated

10

Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential information under seal; Civil Local Rule

11

141 sets forth the procedures that must be followed and the standards that will be applied when a party

12
13
14
15
16

seeks permission from the court to file material under seal.
2.

SCOPE

4

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

5

defined above), but also (1) any information copied from Protected Material; (2) all copies, excerpts,

6

summaries, or compilations of Protected Material that reveal the source of the Protected Material or

7
8
9
10
11

that reveal specific information entitled to confidentiality as a matter of law; and (3) any testimony,
conversations, or presentations by Parties or their Counsel that might reveal Protected Material.
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 Receiving
Party or becomes part of the public domain after its disclosure to a Receiving Party as a result of
publication not involving a violation of this Order, including becoming part of the public record

12
through trial or otherwise; and (b) any information known to the Receiving Party prior to the
13
disclosure or obtained by the Receiving Party after the disclosure from a source who obtained the
14
15
16

information lawfully and under no obligation of confidentiality to the Designating Party. Any use of
Protected Material at trial shall be governed by a separate agreement or order.
4.

17

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

18

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

19

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

20

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

21

and exhaustion of all appeals, rehearings, remands, trials, or reviews of this action, including the time

22

limits for filing any motions or applications for extension of time pursuant to applicable law.

23

5.

DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL

24

5.1

Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection. Each Party or Non-Party

25

that designates information or items for protection under this Order must take care to limit any such

26

designation to specific material that qualifies under the appropriate standards. The Designating Party

27

must designate for protection only those parts of material, documents, items, or oral or written

28
No. 2:17-cv-01040-WBS-CMK: STIP. PROTEC. ORD. FOR CONFID. DOCS.

3

1

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

2

communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept unjustifiably within the ambit of

3

this Order.

4

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

5

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

6

or retard the case development process or to impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other

7

parties) expose the Designating Party to sanctions.
If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it designated for

8
9
10
11

protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must promptly notify all other Parties
that it is withdrawing the mistaken designation.
5.2

Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in this Order (see, e.g.,

second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or
12
Discovery Material that qualifies for protection under this Order must be clearly so designated before
13
the material is disclosed or produced.
14
15
16
17

Designation in conformity with this Order requires:
(a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic documents, but excluding
transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that the Producing Party affix the
legend “CONFIDENTIAL” to each page that contains protected material. If only a portion or portions

18

of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the

19

protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins). A Party or Non-Party that

20

makes original documents or materials available for inspection need not designate them for protection

21

until after the inspecting Party has indicated which material it would like copied and produced. During

22

the inspection and before the designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be

23

deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has identified the documents it wants copied

24

and produced, the Producing Party must determine which documents, or portions thereof, qualify for

25

protection under this Order. Then, before producing the specified documents, the Producing Party

26

must affix the “CONFIDENTIAL” legend to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a

27
28
No. 2:17-cv-01040-WBS-CMK: STIP. PROTEC. ORD. FOR CONFID. DOCS.

4

1

portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must

2

clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins).

3

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

4

Party identify on the record, before the close of the deposition, hearing, or other proceeding, all

5

protected testimony.

6

(c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and for any other tangible items,

7
8
9
10
11

that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the exterior of the container or containers in
which the information or item is stored the legend “CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a portion or portions
of the information or item warrant protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall
identify the protected portion(s).
5.3

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

qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive the Designating Party’s right to secure
12
protection under this Order for such material. Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving
13
Party must make reasonable efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the
14
15
16
17

provisions of this Order.
6.

CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS

6.1

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

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

18

necessary to avoid foreseeable, substantial unfairness, unnecessary economic burdens, or a significant

19

disruption or delay of the litigation, a Party does not waive its right to challenge a confidentiality

20

designation by electing not to mount a challenge promptly after the original designation is disclosed.

21

6.2

22

providing written notice of each designation it is challenging and describing the basis for each

23

challenge. To avoid ambiguity as to whether a challenge has been made, the written notice must recite

24

that the challenge to confidentiality is being made in accordance with this specific paragraph of the

25

Protective Order. The parties shall attempt to resolve each challenge in good faith and must begin the

26

process by conferring directly (in voice to voice dialogue; other forms of communication are not

27

sufficient) within 14 days of the date of service of notice. In conferring, the Challenging Party must

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

28
No. 2:17-cv-01040-WBS-CMK: STIP. PROTEC. ORD. FOR CONFID. DOCS.

5

1

explain the basis for its belief that the confidentiality designation was not proper and must give the

2

Designating Party an opportunity to review the designated material, to reconsider the circumstances,

3

and, if no change in designation is offered, to explain the basis for the chosen designation. A

4

Challenging Party may proceed to the next stage of the challenge process only if it has engaged in this

5

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

6

meet and confer process in a timely manner.
6.3

7
8
9
10
11

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

intervention, the Designating Party shall file and serve a motion to retain confidentiality under Civil
Local Rule 230 (and in compliance with Civil Local Rule 141, if applicable) within 21 days of the
initial notice of challenge or within 14 days of the parties agreeing that the meet and confer process
will not resolve their dispute, whichever is earlier. Each such motion must be accompanied by a
competent declaration affirming that the movant has complied with the meet and confer requirements

12
imposed in the preceding paragraph. Failure by the Designating Party to make such a motion
13
including the required declaration within 21 days (or 14 days, if applicable) shall automatically waive
14
15
16
17

the confidentiality designation for each challenged designation. In addition, the Challenging Party
may file a motion challenging a confidentiality designation at any time if there is good cause for doing
so, including a challenge to the designation of a deposition transcript or any portions thereof. Any
motion brought pursuant to this provision must be accompanied by a competent declaration affirming

18

that the movant has complied with the meet and confer requirements imposed by the preceding

19

paragraph.

20

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

21

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

22

expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the

23

Designating Party has waived the confidentiality designation by failing to file a motion to retain

24

confidentiality as described above, all parties shall continue to afford the material in question the level

25

of protection to which it is entitled under the Producing Party’s designation until the court rules on the

26

challenge.

13
this Protective Order);

11

PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN OTHER

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 as “CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must:
(a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall include a copy of the
subpoena or court order;
(b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order to issue in the other
litigation that some or all of the material covered by the subpoena or order is subject to this Protective

12
Order. Such notification shall include a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order; and
13
(c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued by the Designating Party
14
15
16
17

whose Protected Material may be affected.
If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with the subpoena or court
order shall not produce any information designated in this action as “CONFIDENTIAL” before a
determination by the court from which the subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has obtained the

18

Designating Party’s permission. The Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking

19

protection in that court of its confidential material – and nothing in these provisions should be

20

construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this action to disobey a lawful directive

21

from another court.

23

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

24

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

25

designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information produced by Non-Parties in connection with this

26

litigation is protected by the remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in these provisions

27

should be construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional protections.

28
No. 2:17-cv-01040-WBS-CMK: STIP. PROTEC. ORD. FOR CONFID. DOCS.

8

1

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

2

confidential information in its possession, and the Party is subject to an agreement with the Non-Party

3

not to produce the Non-Party’s confidential information, then the Party shall:
(1) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party that some or all of the

4
5

information requested is subject to a confidentiality agreement with a Non-Party;
(2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated Protective Order in this

6
7
8

litigation, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably specific description of the information
requested; and
(3) make the information requested available for inspection by the Non-Party.

9
10
11

(c) If the Non-Party fails to object or seek a protective order from this court within 14 days of
receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party may produce the Non-Party’s
confidential information responsive to the discovery request. If the Non-Party timely seeks a

12
protective order, the Receiving Party shall not produce any information in its possession or control
13
that is subject to the confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a determination by the court.
14
15
16
17

Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking
protection in this court of its Protected Material.
10.

UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed Protected Material to

18

any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this Stipulated Protective Order, the

19

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

20

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

21

inform the person or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this

22

Order, and (d) request such person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be

23

Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

24

11.

25

INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE PROTECTED
MATERIAL

26

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

27

is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection, the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those

28
No. 2:17-cv-01040-WBS-CMK: STIP. PROTEC. ORD. FOR CONFID. DOCS.

9

1

set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify

2

whatever procedure may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for production without

3

prior privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) and (e), insofar as the parties

4

reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure of a communication or information covered by the

5

attorney-client privilege or work product protection, the parties may incorporate their agreement in the

6

stipulated protective order submitted to the court.

12.

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 Order no Party

waives any right it otherwise would have to object to disclosing or producing any information or item
on any ground not addressed in this Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right

12
to object on any ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective Order.
13
12.3
14
15
16
17

Filing Protected Material. Without written permission from the Designating Party or a court

order secured after appropriate notice to all interested persons, a Party may not file in the public
record in this action any Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any Protected
Material must comply with Civil Local Rule 141. Protected Material may only be filed under seal
pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the specific Protected Material at issue. Pursuant to

18

Civil Local Rule 141, a sealing order will issue only upon a request establishing that the Protected

19

Material at issue is privileged, protectable as a trade secret, or otherwise entitled to protection under

20

the law. If a Receiving Party's request to file Protected Material under seal pursuant to Civil Local

21

Rule 141(b) is denied by the court, then the Receiving Party may file the information in the public

22

record pursuant to Civil Local Rule 141(e)(1) unless otherwise instructed by the court.

23

13.

24

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

25

notification served by Producing or Designating Party, each Receiving Party must return all Protected

26

Material to the Producing Party or destroy such material. As used in this subdivision, “all Protected

27

Material” includes all copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries, and any other format reproducing or

capturing any of the Protected Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the

2

Receiving Party must submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the same person

3

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

4

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

5

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

6

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

7
8
9
10
11

entitled to retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition, and hearing
transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert reports, attorney
work product, and consultant and expert work product, even if such materials contain Protected
Material. Any such archival copies that contain or constitute Protected Material remain subject to this
Protective Order as set forth in Section 4 (DURATION).
