SCOPE

18

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

19

(as defined above), but also (1) any information copied or extracted from Protected Material; (2) all

20

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

21

conversations, or presentations by Parties or their Counsel that might reveal Protected Material.

22

However, the protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order do not cover the following

23

information: (a) any information that is in the public domain at the time of disclosure to a Receiving

24

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

25

publication not involving a violation of this Order, including becoming part of the public record

26

through trial or otherwise; and (b) any information known to the Receiving Party prior to the

27

disclosure or obtained by the Receiving Party after the disclosure from a source who obtained the

28

information lawfully and under no obligation of confidentiality to the Designating Party. Any use
{2450017.DOC;}

3

[Proposed] Stipulated Protective Order
Case No. 2:18-cv-00384-MCE-EFB

1

of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by a separate agreement or order.

2

4.

DURATION

3

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

4

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

5

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

6

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

7

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

8

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

9

5.

5.1

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

11

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

12

limit any such designation to specific material that qualifies under the appropriate standards. The

13

Designating Party must designate for protection only those parts of material, documents, items, or

14

oral or written communications that qualify—so that other portions of the material, documents,

15
law corporation

weintraub tobin chediak coleman grodin

10

DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL

items, or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept unjustifiably within

16

the ambit of this Order.

17

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

18

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

19

that it is withdrawing the mistaken designation.

20

5.2

Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in this Order

21

(see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise stipulated or ordered,

22

Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection under this Order must be clearly so

23

designated before the material is disclosed or produced. Designation in conformity with this Order

24

requires:
a)

25

for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic documents,

26

but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that the Producing

27

Party affix the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” to each page that contains protected material. If only a

28

portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must
{2450017.DOC;}

4

[Proposed] Stipulated Protective Order
Case No. 2:18-cv-00384-MCE-EFB

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

2

Party or Non-Party that makes original documents or materials available for inspection need not

3

designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated which material it would

4

like copied and produced. During the inspection and before the designation, all of the material made

5

available for inspection shall be deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has

6

identified the documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine which

7

documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order. Then, before producing the

8

specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the “CONFIDENTIAL” legend to each page

9

that contains Protected Material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for

10

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

11

appropriate markings in the margins).

12

b)

for testimony given in deposition or in other pretrial or trial proceedings, that

13

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

14

proceeding, all protected testimony.

15
law corporation

weintraub tobin chediak coleman grodin

1

c)

for information produced in some form other than documentary and for any

16

other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the exterior of the

17

container or containers in which the information or item is stored the legend “CONFIDENTIAL.”

18

If only a portion or portions of the information or item warrant protection, the Producing Party, to

19

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

20

5.3

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

21

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

22

right to secure protection under this Order for such material.

23

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

24

in accordance with the provisions of this Order.

Upon timely correction of a

CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
6.1

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

27

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

28

designation is necessary to avoid foreseeable, substantial unfairness, unnecessary economic
{2450017.DOC;}

5

[Proposed] Stipulated Protective Order
Case No. 2:18-cv-00384-MCE-EFB

1

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

2

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

3

original designation is disclosed.

4

6.2

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

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

7

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

8

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

9

begin the process by conferring directly (in voice to voice dialogue; other forms of communication

10

are not sufficient) within 14 days of the date of service of notice. In conferring, the Challenging

11

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

12

must give the Designating Party an opportunity to review the designated material, to reconsider the

13

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

14

designation. A Challenging Party may proceed to the next stage of the challenge process only if it

15
law corporation

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

6

weintraub tobin chediak coleman grodin

5

has engaged in this meet and confer process first or establishes that the Designating Party is

16

unwilling to participate in the meet and confer process in a timely manner.

17

6.3

Judicial Intervention.

If the Parties cannot resolve a challenge without court

18

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

19

Local Rule 7 251 (and in compliance with Civil Local Rule 79-5 141, if applicable) within 21 days

20

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

21

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

22

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

23

requirements imposed in the preceding paragraph. Failure by the Designating Party to make such a

24

motion including the required declaration within 21 days (or 14 days, if applicable) shall

25

automatically waive the confidentiality designation for each challenged designation. In addition, the

26

Challenging Party may file a motion challenging a confidentiality designation at any time if there is

27

good cause for doing so, including a challenge to the designation of a deposition transcript or any

28

portions thereof. Any motion brought pursuant to this provision must be accompanied by a
{2450017.DOC;}

6

[Proposed] Stipulated Protective Order
Case No. 2:18-cv-00384-MCE-EFB

1

competent declaration affirming that the movant has complied with the meet and confer

2

requirements imposed by the preceding paragraph.

3

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

4

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

5

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

6

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

7

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

8

question the level of protection to which it is entitled under the Producing Party’s designation until

9

the court rules on the challenge.

11

7.

ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
7.1

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

12

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

13

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

14

the categories of persons and under the conditions described in this Order. When the litigation has

15
law corporation

weintraub tobin chediak coleman grodin

10

been terminated, a Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of section 13 below (FINAL

16

DISPOSITION).

17
18
19

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

20

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

21

information or item designated “CONFIDENTIAL” only to:
a)

22

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

23

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

24

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

25

Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A;
b)

26

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

27

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

28

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

5

e)

court reporters and their staff, professional jury or trial consultants, mock

6

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

8

f)

during their depositions, witnesses in the action to whom disclosure is

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

10

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

11

12

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

13

this Stipulated Protective Order.

PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN
OTHER LITIGATION

17
18

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

19

disclosure of any information or items designated in this action as “CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party

20

must:
a)

21
22

promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall

include a copy of the subpoena or court order;
b)

23

promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order to

24

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

25

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

26

Order; and
c)

27
28

cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued by

the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.
{2450017.DOC;}

[Proposed] Stipulated Protective Order
Case No. 2:18-cv-00384-MCE-EFB

1

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

2

or court order shall not produce any information designated in this action as “CONFIDENTIAL”

3

before a determination by the court from which the subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has

4

obtained the Designating Party’s permission. The Designating Party shall bear the burden and

5

expense of seeking protection in that court of its confidential material—and nothing in these

6

provisions should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this action to

7

disobey a lawful directive from another court.

9.

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

9
a)

The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a Non-

11

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

12

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

13

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

14

additional protections.
b)

15
law corporation

weintraub tobin chediak coleman grodin

10

In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to produce

16

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

17

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

18

promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party

19

that some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality agreement with a Non-

20

Party;
ii.

21

promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated

22

Protective Order in this litigation, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably specific

23

description of the information requested; and
iii.

24
25

make the information requested available for inspection by the Non-

Party.
c)

26

If the Non-Party fails to object or seek a protective order from this court

27

within 14 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party may

28

produce the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the discovery request. If the Non{2450017.DOC;}

9

[Proposed] Stipulated Protective Order
Case No. 2:18-cv-00384-MCE-EFB

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

10.

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

7

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

8

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

9

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

10

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

11

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

12

Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

INADVERTENT PRODUCTION

OF

PRIVILEGED

OR

OTHERWISE

14
15
law corporation

weintraub tobin chediak coleman grodin

6

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

16

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

17

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

18

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

19

that provides for production without prior privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rules of Evidence,

20

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

21

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

22

the parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated protective order submitted to the court.

23

12.

24
25
26

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

27

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

28

information or item on any ground not addressed in this Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no
{2450017.DOC;}

10

[Proposed] Stipulated Protective Order
Case No. 2:18-cv-00384-MCE-EFB

1

Party waives any right to object on any ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by

2

this Protective Order.

3

12.3

Filing Protected Material. Without written permission from the Designating Party

public record in this action any Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any

6

Protected Material must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5. Protected Material may only be filed

7

under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the specific Protected Material at

8

issue. Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5, a sealing order will issue only upon a request establishing

9

that the Protected Material at issue is privileged, protectable as a trade secret, or otherwise entitled

10

to protection under the law. If a Receiving Party’s request to file Protected Material under seal

11

pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5(d) is denied by the Court, then the Receiving Party may file the

12

information in the public record pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5(e) unless otherwise instructed by

13

the Court. Protected Material may only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the

14

sealing of the specific Protected Material at issue. However, the designation of material as

15
law corporation

or a court order secured after appropriate notice to all interested persons, a Party may not file in the

5

weintraub tobin chediak coleman grodin

4

confidential, without more, is insufficient to obtain a sealing order. Any party that seeks to file

16

Protected Material under seal must comply with Local Rule 141, which governs motions for a

17

sealing order. As provided in Local Rule 141, a sealing order will issue only upon a request

18

establishing that the Protected Material at issue is privileged, protectable as a trade secret, or

19

otherwise entitled to protection under the law. Further, the briefing on the motion for a sealing order

20

shall address U.S. Supreme Court and Ninth Circuit standards for whether the material may be filed

21

under seal. Regardless of which party files the motion for a sealing order, the party that designated

22

the material as confidential shall file a brief addressing those standards, and shall have the burden

23

of establishing that the Protected Material should be filed but not made publicly available. If a

24

motion to file Protected Material under seal pursuant to Local Rule 141 is denied by the court, the

25

moving party may file the material in the public record, unless instructed differently by the court.

26

13.

FINAL DISPOSITION

27

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

28

Receiving Party must return all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such material.
{2450017.DOC;}

11

[Proposed] Stipulated Protective Order
Case No. 2:18-cv-00384-MCE-EFB

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

2

summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material. Whether

3

the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the Receiving Party must submit a written

4

certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the same person or entity, to the Designating Party)

5

by the 60-day deadline that (1) identifies (by category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material

6

that was returned or destroyed and (2) affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any copies,

7

abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or capturing any of the

8

Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are entitled to retain an archival copy

9

of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition, and hearing transcripts, legal memoranda,

10

correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert reports, attorney work product, and consultant

11

and expert work product, even if such materials contain Protected Material. Any such archival

12

copies that contain or constitute Protected Material remain subject to this Protective Order as set

13

forth in section 4 (DURATION).

IT IS SO STIPULATED, THROUGH COUNSEL OF RECORD.
