PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS
2
Disclosure and discovery activity in this action are likely to involve trade secrets, private
3
customer information, private financial information, and other valuable proprietary information for
4
which special protection from public disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecution
5
of this action is warranted. Such confidential and proprietary materials and information consist of,
6
among other things, confidential business or financial information, information regarding
7
confidential business practices, or other confidential research, development, commercial, or personal
8
information (including information implicating privacy rights of third parties), information otherwise
9
generally unavailable to the public, or which may be privileged or otherwise protected from
10
disclosure under state or federal statutes, court rules, case decisions, or common law.
11
Accordingly, the Parties hereby stipulate to and petition the court to enter the following
12
Stipulated Protective Order. The Parties acknowledge that this Order does not confer blanket
13
protections on all disclosures or responses to discovery and that the protection it affords from public
14
disclosure and use extends only to the limited information or items that are entitled to confidential
15
treatment under the applicable legal principles. It is the intent of the Parties that information will not
16
be designated as confidential for tactical reasons and that nothing be so designated without a good
17
faith belief that it has been maintained in a confidential, non-public manner, and there is good cause
18
why it should not be part of the public record of this case. The Parties further acknowledge, as set
19
forth in Section 12.3 below, that this Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file
20
confidential information under seal; Civil Local Rule 141 sets forth the procedures that must be
21
followed and the standards that will be applied when a Party seeks permission from the court to file
22
material under seal.

SCOPE
The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only Protected Material (as
4
5
defined above), but also: (1) any information copied or extracted from Protected Material; (2) all
6
copies, excerpts, summaries, or compilations of Protected Material; and (3) any testimony,
7
conversations, or presentations by Parties or their Counsel that might reveal Protected Material.
8
However, the protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order do not cover the following
9
information: (a) any information that is in the public domain at the time of disclosure to a Receiving
10
Party or becomes part of the public domain after its disclosure to a Receiving Party as a result of
11
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
information lawfully and under no obligation of confidentiality to the Designating Party. Any use of
15
Protected Material at trial shall be governed by a separate agreement or order.
16
4.
DURATION
Even after final disposition of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations imposed by this
17
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
22
time limits for filing any motions or applications for extension of time pursuant to applicable law.

DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
5.1
Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection. Each Party or
25
Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under this Order must take care to
26
limit any such designation to specific material that qualifies under the appropriate standards. To the
27
extent it is practical to do so, the Designating Party must designate for protection only those parts of
material, documents, items, or oral or written communications that qualify – so that other portions of

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
1
the material, documents, items, or communications for which protection is not warranted are not
2
swept unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order.
3
Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations that are shown
4
to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily
5
encumber or retard the case development process or to impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on
6
other Parties) expose the Designating Party to sanctions.
7
If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it designated for
8
protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must promptly notify all other Parties
9
that it is withdrawing the mistaken designation.
10
5.2
Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in this Order (see,
11
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
13
before the material is disclosed or produced.
14
15
Designation in conformity with this Order requires:
(a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic documents, but
16
excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that the Producing Party
17
affix the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” to each page that contains protected material. If only a portion
18
or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly
19
identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins).
20
A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents or materials available for inspection
21
need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated which material it
22
would like copied and produced. During the inspection and before the designation, all of the material
23
made available for inspection shall be deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has
24
identified the documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine which
25
documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order. Then, before producing the
26
specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the “CONFIDENTIAL” legend to each page
27
that contains Protected Material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for
28
protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making

appropriate markings in the margins).
(b) for testimony given in deposition or in other pretrial or trial proceedings, that the
2
3
Designating Party identify on the record, before the close of the deposition, hearing, or other
4
proceeding, all protected testimony. When it is impractical to identify separately each portion of
5
testimony that is entitled to protection and it appears that substantial portions of the testimony may
6
qualify for protection, the Designating Party may invoke on the record (before the deposition,
7
hearing, or other proceeding is concluded) a right to have up to 21 days to identify the specific
8
portions of the testimony as to which protection is sought and to specify the level of protection being
9
asserted. Only those portions of the testimony that are appropriately designated for protection within
10
the 21 days shall be covered by the provisions of this Stipulated Protective Order. Alternatively, a
11
Designating Party may specify, at the deposition or up to 21 days afterwards if that period is
12
properly invoked, that the entire transcript shall be treated as “CONFIDENTIAL.”
13
14
15
The use of a document as an exhibit at a deposition shall not in any way affect its designation
as “CONFIDENTIAL”
Transcripts containing Protected Material shall have an obvious legend on the title page that
16
the transcript contains Protected Material, and the title page shall be followed by a list of all pages
17
(including line numbers as appropriate) that have been designated as Protected Material. The
18
Designating Party shall inform the court reporter of these requirements. Any transcript that is
19
prepared before the expiration of a 21-day period for designation shall be treated during that period
20
as if it had been designated “CONFIDENTIAL” in its entirety unless otherwise agreed. After the
21
expiration of that period, the transcript shall be treated only as actually designated.
22
(c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and for any other
23
tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the exterior of the container or
24
containers in which the information or item is stored the legend “CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a
25
portion or portions of the information or item warrant protection, the Producing Party, to the extent
26
practicable, shall identify the protected portion(s).

Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent failure to
28
designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive the Designating Party’s

CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
6.1
Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a designation of
6
confidentiality at any time. Unless a prompt challenge to a Designating Party’s confidentiality
7
designation is necessary to avoid foreseeable, substantial unfairness, unnecessary economic burdens,
8
or a significant disruption or delay of the litigation, a Party does not waive its right to challenge a
9
confidentiality designation by electing not to mount a challenge promptly after the original
10
11
designation is disclosed.
6.2
Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute resolution process
12
by providing written notice of each designation it is challenging and describing the basis for each
13
challenge. To avoid ambiguity as to whether a challenge has been made, the written notice must
14
recite that the challenge to confidentiality is being made in accordance with this specific paragraph
15
of the Protective Order. The Parties shall attempt to resolve each challenge in good faith and must
16
begin the process by conferring directly (in voice to voice dialogue; other forms of communication
17
are not sufficient) within 14 days of the date of service of notice. In conferring, the Challenging
18
Party must explain the basis for its belief that the confidentiality designation was not proper and
19
must give the Designating Party an opportunity to review the designated material, to reconsider the
20
circumstances, and, if no change in designation is offered, to explain the basis for the chosen
21
designation. A Challenging Party may proceed to the next stage of the challenge process only if it
22
has engaged in this meet and confer process first or establishes that the Designating Party is
23
unwilling to participate in the meet and confer process in a timely manner.
24
6.3
Judicial Intervention. If the Parties cannot resolve a challenge without court
25
intervention, the Designating Party shall file and serve a motion for protective order under Local
26
Civil Rule 141.1 within 21 days of the initial notice of challenge or within 14 days of the Parties
27
agreeing that the meet and confer process will not resolve their dispute, whichever is earlier. In

addition, the Challenging Party may file a motion challenging a confidentiality designation at any

ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
7.1
Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is disclosed or
5
produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this case only for prosecuting,
6
defending, or attempting to settle this litigation. Such Protected Material may be disclosed only to
7
the categories of persons and under the conditions described in this Order. When the litigation has
8
been terminated, a Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of Section 13 below (FINAL
9
DISPOSITION).
10
11
12
Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a location and in a
secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons authorized under this Order.
7.2
Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless otherwise ordered by
13
the Court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a Receiving Party may disclose any
14
information or item designated “CONFIDENTIAL” only to:
15
(a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this action, as well as
16
employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably necessary to disclose the

PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN OTHER
LITIGATION
If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation that
14
compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this action as “CONFIDENTIAL,” that
15
Party must:
16
(a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall include a

copy of the subpoena or court order;
18
(b) promptly notify in writing the Party who caused the subpoena or order to issue in

A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE PRODUCED IN THIS
LITIGATION
(a)
5
The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a Non-
Party in this action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information produced by Non-
6
Parties in connection with this litigation is protected by the remedies and relief provided by this
7
Order. Nothing in these provisions should be construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking
8
additional protections.

(b)
10
11
In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to produce a
Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is subject to an agreement with
the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s confidential information, then the Party shall:
12
1. promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party that some
13
or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality agreement with a Non-Party;
14
2. promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated Protective
15
Order in this litigation, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably specific description of the
16
information requested; and
17
3. make the information requested available for inspection by the Non-Party.
18
(c)
If the Non-Party fails to object or seek a protective order from this Court
19
within 14 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party may
20
produce the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the discovery request. If the Non-
21
Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall not produce any information in its
22
possession or control that is subject to the confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a
23
determination by the Court. Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the burden
24
and expense of seeking protection in this Court of its Protected Material.

INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE PROTECTED
MATERIAL
When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain inadvertently
8
produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection, the obligations of the
9
Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision
10
is not intended to modify whatever procedure may be established in an e-discovery order that
11
provides for production without prior privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d)
12
and (e), insofar as the Parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure of a communication or
13
information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work product protection, the Parties may
14
incorporate their agreement in the stipulated protective order submitted to the Court.
15

12.
MISCELLANEOUS
12.1
Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any person to seek
17
its modification by the Court in the future.
18
12.2
Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this Protective Order
19
no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to disclosing or producing any
20
information or item on any ground not addressed in this Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no
21
Party waives any right to object on any ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by
22
this Protective Order.
23
12.3
Filing Protected Material. Without written permission from the Designating Party or a
24
court order secured after appropriate notice to all interested persons, a Party may not file in the
25
public record in this action any Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any Protected
26
Material must comply with Civil Local Rule 141. Protected Material may only be filed under seal
27
pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the specific Protected Material at issue.
