DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
5.1

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

14

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

15

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

16

described herein. The Designating Party must designate for protection only those parts of

17

material, documents,. items, or oral or written communications that qualify - so that other portions

18

of the material, documents, items, or communications for which protection is not warranted are

19

not swept unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order.

20

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

21

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

22

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

23

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

24

If it comes to a Designating Party's attention that information or items that ·it designated

25

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

26

Parties that it is withdrawing the mistaken designation.

27
28

5.2

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

(see, e.g., second paragraph ofsection 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise stipulated or ordered,
4

Stipulated Protective Order (C 09-1042 JSW)

Case3:09-cv-01042-JSW Document112 Filed03/20/12 Page5 of 16

1

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

2

designated before the material is disclosed or produced.

3
4

Designation in conformity with this Order requires:
(a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic documents, but

5

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

6

Party affix the legend "CONFIDENTIAL" or "CONFIDENTIAL- ATTORNEYS' EYES

7

ONLY" to each page that contains protected material. If only a portion or portions of the material

8

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

9

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

10

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

11

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

12

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

13

ofthe material made available for inspection shall be deemed "CONFIDENTIAL-

14

ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY." After the Receiving Party has identified the documents it wants

15

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

16

qualify for protection under this Order. Then, before producing the specified documents, the

17

Producing Party must affix the "CONFIDENTIAL" or "CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS'-

18

EYES ONLY" legend to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a portion or portions

19

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

20

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

21

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

22

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

23

proceeding, all protected testimony.

24

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

25

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

26

or containers in which the information or item is stored the legend "CONFIDENTIAL" or

27

."CONFIDENTIAL- ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY." If only a portion or portions of the

28·

information or item warrant protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable,·shall

1

identify the protected portion(s).

2

5.3

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

3

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

4

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

5

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

6

treated in accordance with the provisions of this Order.

CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
6.1

Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may chal~enge a designation of

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

10

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

11

burdens, or

12

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

13

original designation is disclosed.

14

6.2

asignificant disruption or delay of the litigation, a Party does n9t waive its right to

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

15

process by providing written notice to the Designating Party of each designation it is challenging

16

and describing the basis for each challenge. To avoid ambiguity as to whether a challenge has

17

been made, the written notice must recite that the challenge to confidentiality is being made in

18

accordance with this specific paragraph ofthe Protective Order. The Challenging Party and the

19

Designating Party shall attempt to resolve each challenge in good faith and must begin the

20

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

21

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

22

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

23

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

24

circumstances, and, if no change in desigfl.ation is offered, to explain the basis for the chosen

25

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

26

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

27

unwilling to participate in the meet ai1d confer process in a timely manner.
(

6.3

Judicial Intervention. If the Challenging Party and the Designating Party cannot

Stipulated Protective Order (C 09-1042 JSW)

Case3:09-cv-01042-JSW Document112 Filed03/20/12 Page7 of 16

1

resolve a challenge without court intervention, the Designating Party shall file and serve a motion

2

to retain confidentiality under Civil Local Rule 7 (and in compliance with Civil Local Rule 79-5

3

and General Order 62, if applicable) within 21 days of the initial notice of challenge or within 14

4

days of the parties agreeing that the meet and confer process will not resolve their dispute,

5

whichever is earlier. Each such motion must be accompanied by a competent declaration

6

affirming that the movant has complied with the meet and confer requirements imposed in the

7

preceding paragraph. Failure by the Designating Party to make such a motion including the

8

required declaration within 21 days (or 14 days, if applicable) shall automatically waive the

9

confidentiality designation for each challenged designation. In addition, the Challenging Party

10

may file a motion challenging a confidentiality designation at any time if there is good cause· for

11

doing so, including a challenge to the designation of a deposition transcript or any portions

12

thereof. Any motion brought pursuant to this provision must be accompanied by a competent

13

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

14

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 treat the

20

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

21

designation until the court niles on the challenge.

24

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

6

documents and information designated "CONFIDENTIAL- ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY" to

7

Plaintiff, members of Plaintiff'~ family, friends, or associates of Plaintiff, or to any other inmate

8

or parolee, or to the public.

ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY" needs to be discussed with their client or another person,

18

Receiving Party must first contact the Designating Party to discuss disclosure of the specific

. 19

record.

to or discussed between Counsel of Record and Plaintiff to the extent necessary to conduct

27
