PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS

22

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

23

25

Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the court to enter the following Stipulated

26

Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this Order does not confer blanket protections on

27

all disclosures or responses to discovery and that the protection it affords from public disclosure

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

SCOPE

22

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

23

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

24

Material or that reveal specific information, i.e., the raw data gleaned from protected documents,

25

entitled to confidentiality under this stipulated order; and (3) any testimony, conversations, or

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

27

protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order do not cover the following information: (a)

28

any information that is in the public domain at the time of disclosure to a Receiving Party or
3

STIP. PROT. ORDER 10.2.2019
2:19-CV-00007-MCE-CKD

1

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

3

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

4

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

5

information lawfully and under no obligation of confidentiality to the Designating Party. Any use

6

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

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

9

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

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

11

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

12

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

13

including the time limits for filing any motions or applications for extension of time pursuant to

14

applicable law.

15

5.

DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL

16

5.1

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

17

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

18

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

19

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

20

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

21

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

22

unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order.

23

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

24

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

25

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

26

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

27
28

If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it designated
for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must promptly notify all other
4

342933.1

STIP. PROT. ORDER 10.2.2019
2:19-CV-00007-MCE-CKD

1
2

Parties that it is withdrawing the mistaken designation.
5.2

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

3

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

4

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

5

designated before the material is disclosed or produced.

6

Designation in conformity with this Order requires:

7

(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

9

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

10
180 Montgomery Street, Suite 1200
San Francisco, California 94104

ALLEN, GLAESSNER, HAZELWOOD & WERTH, LLP

8

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

11

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

12

margins).

13

A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents or materials available for inspection

14

need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated which

15

material it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and before the designation, all

16

of the material made available for inspection shall be deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the

17

inspecting Party has identified the documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party

18

must determine which documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order.

19

Then, before producing the specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the

20

“CONFIDENTIAL” legend to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a portion or

21

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

22

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

23

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

24

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

25

proceeding, all protected testimony.

26

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

27

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

28

or containers in which the information or item is stored the legend “CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a
5

342933.1

STIP. PROT. ORDER 10.2.2019
2:19-CV-00007-MCE-CKD

1

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

2

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

3

5.3

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

4

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

5

right to secure protection under this Order for such material. Upon timely correction of a

6

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

7

treated in accordance with the provisions of this Order.
6.

CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS

9

6.1

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

10
180 Montgomery Street, Suite 1200
San Francisco, California 94104

ALLEN, GLAESSNER, HAZELWOOD & WERTH, LLP

8

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

11

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

12

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

13

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

14

original designation is disclosed.

15

6.2

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

16

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

17

for each challenge. To avoid ambiguity as to whether a challenge has been made, the written

18

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

19

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

20

good faith and must begin the process by conferring directly (in voice to voice dialogue; other

21

forms of communication are not sufficient) within 14 days of the date of service of notice. In

22

conferring, the Challenging Party must explain the basis for its belief that the confidentiality

23

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

24

designated material, to reconsider the circumstances, and, if no change in designation is offered,

25

to explain the basis for the chosen designation. A Challenging Party may proceed to the next

26

stage of the challenge process only if it has engaged in this meet and confer process first or

27

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

28

a timely manner.
6

342933.1

STIP. PROT. ORDER 10.2.2019
2:19-CV-00007-MCE-CKD

1

6.3

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

compliance with Civil Local Rule 141, if applicable) within 21 days of the initial notice of

4

challenge or within 14 days of the parties agreeing that the meet and confer process will not

5

resolve their dispute, whichever is earlier. Each such motion must be accompanied by a

6

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

7

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

8

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

9

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

10
180 Montgomery Street, Suite 1200
San Francisco, California 94104

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

3

ALLEN, GLAESSNER, HAZELWOOD & WERTH, LLP

2

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

11

there is good cause for doing so, including a challenge to the designation of a deposition

12

transcript or any portions thereof. Any motion brought pursuant to this provision must be

13

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

14

and confer requirements imposed by the preceding paragraph.

15

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

16

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

17

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

18

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

19

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

20

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

21

designation until the court rules on the challenge.

22

7.

ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

23

7.1

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

24

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

25

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

26

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

27

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

28

DISPOSITION).
7

342933.1

STIP. PROT. ORDER 10.2.2019
2:19-CV-00007-MCE-CKD

1

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

2

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

3

7.2

Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless otherwise ordered

4

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

5

information or item designated “CONFIDENTIAL” only to:

6

(a) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is
reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and

8

Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);

9

(b) the court and its personnel;

10
180 Montgomery Street, Suite 1200
San Francisco, California 94104

ALLEN, GLAESSNER, HAZELWOOD & WERTH, LLP

7

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

11

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

12

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

13

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

14

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

15

unless otherwise agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the court. Pages of transcribed

16

deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material must be separately

17

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

18

Stipulated Protective Order or as agreed by the Designating Party.

19

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

20

other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information.

21

8.

PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN OTHER

22

LITIGATION

23

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

24

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

25

must:

26
27
28

(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
8

342933.1

STIP. PROT. ORDER 10.2.2019
2:19-CV-00007-MCE-CKD

1

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

2

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

3
4

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

5

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

7

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

8

issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s permission. The Designating Party

9

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

10
180 Montgomery Street, Suite 1200
San Francisco, California 94104

ALLEN, GLAESSNER, HAZELWOOD & WERTH, LLP

6

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

11

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

12

9.

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

13

LITIGATION

14

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

15

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

16

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

17

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

18

additional protections.

19

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

20

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

21

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

22
23
24

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

25

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

26

information requested; and

27

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

28

(c) If the Non-Party fails to object or seek a protective order from this court within 14
9

342933.1

STIP. PROT. ORDER 10.2.2019
2:19-CV-00007-MCE-CKD

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

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

6

burden and expense of seeking protection in this court of its Protected Material.
10.

8

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

9

UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

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

10
180 Montgomery Street, Suite 1200
San Francisco, California 94104

ALLEN, GLAESSNER, HAZELWOOD & WERTH, LLP

7

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

11

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

12

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

13

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

14

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

15

11.

INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE PROTECTED

16

MATERIAL

17

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

18

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

19

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

20

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

21

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

22

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

23

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

24

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

25

submitted to the court.

26

12.

MISCELLANEOUS

27

12.1

Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any person to

28

seek its modification by the court in the future.
10

342933.1

STIP. PROT. ORDER 10.2.2019
2:19-CV-00007-MCE-CKD

1

12.2

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

2

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

3

information or item on any ground not addressed in this Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no

4

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

5

by this Protective Order.

6

12.3

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

8

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

9

Protected Material must comply with Civil Local Rule 141. Protected Material may only be filed

10
180 Montgomery Street, Suite 1200
San Francisco, California 94104

ALLEN, GLAESSNER, HAZELWOOD & WERTH, LLP

7

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

11

issue. Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 141, a sealing order will issue only upon a request establishing

12

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

13

entitled to protection under the law.

14

13.

FINAL DISPOSITION

15

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

16

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

17

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

18

“all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries, and any other

19

format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material. Whether the Protected Material is

20

returned or destroyed, the Receiving Party must submit a written certification to the Producing

21

Party (and, if not the same person or entity, to the Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that

22

(1) identifies (by category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was returned or

23

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

24

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

25

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

26

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

27

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

28

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

STIP. PROT. ORDER 10.2.2019
2:19-CV-00007-MCE-CKD

1

archival copies that contain or constitute Protected Material remain subject to this Protective

2

Order as set forth in Section 4 (DURATION).

3

14. SPECIFICS
