Disclosure and discovery activity in this action could potentially involve production of confidential

SCOPE

The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover all Confidential Material disclosed
5
during the course of this litigation. This includes information copied or extracted therefrom, as well as all
6
copies, excerpts, summaries, or compilations thereof, plus testimony, conversations, or presentations by
7
parties or counsel to or in court or in other settings that might reveal disclosed material.

5.
DURATION
CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY
5.1 Timing of Challenges. Unless a prompt challenge to the confidentiality of a disclosure
is necessary to avoid foreseeable substantial unfairness, unnecessary economic burdens, or a later
significant disruption or delay of the litigation, a Party does not waive its right to challenge confidentiality
by electing not to mount a challenge promptly after the information is disclosed.
5.2 Meet and Confer. A Party that elects to initiate a challenge must do so in good faith
and must begin the process by conferring with counsel for the Producing Party. In conferring, the
17
challenging Party must explain the basis for its belief that confidentiality is not proper and must give the
18
19
20
21
Producing Party an opportunity to review the challenged material, to reconsider the circumstances, and to
explain the basis for confidentiality. A challenging Party may proceed to the next stage of the challenge
process only if it has engaged in this meet and confer process first.
5.3 Judicial Intervention. A Party that elects to press a challenge to confidentiality may
22
file and serve a motion under Civil Local Rule 230 (and in compliance with Civil Local Rule 141, if
23
applicable) that identifies the challenged material and sets forth in detail the basis for the challenge. Each
24
such motion must be accompanied by a competent declaration that affirms that the movant has complied
25
with the meet and confer requirements imposed in the preceding paragraph and that sets forth with
26
specificity the justification for challenge. The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall
27
be on the Producing Party. Until the court rules on the challenge, all parties shall continue to afford the
28
material in question the level of protection to which it is entitled.

the information to anybody and advise them of this protective order. Attorneys who disclose such
6
information shall not provide copies of the material to parties in either physical or electronic form.
