From: Avalos, Julio [mailto:[e-mail]] Sent: Wednesday, October 13, 2010 1:32 PM To: Brian Hancock Cc: Gray, Thomas; Dalton, Amy Subject: RE: Miller v. Facebook, Inc. & Yeo/Past Due Discovery Responses Brian, My Outlook says that I replied to you yesterday at 3:10 p.m. PST, but I don't see the e-mail in m y sent mail. I apologize if you're receiving a duplicate e-mail. W e have sent our proposed markup of the protective order to the client and are awaiting their sign-off. The major edit that we have made to the order relates to creating different categories of protected documents. So for instance we're proposing that rather than having one catch-all category, we would have a base level of protection for documents marked CONFIDENTIAL and then a higher-level of protection for documents marked HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL. Highly confidential documents would be, with limited exceptions, attorneys' eyes only. In addition to attorneys, such documents might be disclosed to experts to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed an acknowledgment to be bound by the PO, the court and its personnel, court reporters, and the author of the document or the original source of the information. W hile we await our client's feedback on the PO, perhaps we could get started discussing any issues that you anticipate with respect to this new category of protection. You have also asked about an anticipated timeline within which we expect to supplement our discovery responses. W e are in the process of collecting responsive information and expect to be interviewing possible custodians of records later this week. W e are aiming to serve supplemental responses shortly thereafter.

Julio, The only mark-up I have is to Paragraph 5.2(b). I would request that it read as follows:
5

"for testimony given in deposition or in other pretrial or trial proceedings, unless otherwise designated before the close of a deposition, pre-trial or trial proceeding, testimony given therein shall be treated as "CONFIDENTIAL" for at least fifteen (15) calendar days after the final transcript has been sent by the court reporter to counsel for the Producing Party whose information has been disclosed (or until such other date as may be agreed upon by the parties.) Receipt of rough transcripts shall not trigger this 15-day period. Such testimony may be designated "CONFIDENTIAL" during the 15-day (or other agreed) period by written notice to all counsel indicating the specific testimony to be designated (by page and line or other specific reference). Unless so designated, any confidentiality is waived after the expiration of the 15-day (or other agreed) period, unless otherwise stipulated or ordered." This should relieve the parties of having to identify on the record, before the close of the deposition and without the benefit of a transcript, which testimony should appropriately be designated as confidential. The Plaintiff has no other proposed mark-ups to the Standard Order. Should Facebook have any mark-ups or revisions, please provide me with a copy of same for my review at your earliest convenience. Should you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact me. Sincerely,

MILLER Plaintiff, Case No. CV-10-264 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER FOR STANDARD LITIGATION UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Disclosure and discovery activity in this action are likely to involve production of confidential, proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may be warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the court to enter the following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this Order does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to discovery and that the protection it affords from public disclosure and use extends only to the limited information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment under the applicable legal principles. The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 12.3, below, that this Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential information under seal; Civil Local Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be followed and

Information or Items: extremely sensitive "Confidential Information or Items" whose disclosure to another Party or non-party would create a substantial risk of serious injury that could not be avoided by less restrictive means. 2.4 "HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL--SOURCE CODE" Information or Items:

extremely sensitive "Confidential Information or Items" representing computer code and associated comments and revision histories, formulas, engineering specifications, or schematics that define or otherwise describe in detail the algorithms or structure of software of hardware designs, disclosure of which to another Party or Non-Party would create a substantial risk of serious harm that could not be avoided by less restrictive means. 2.5 Counsel (without qualifier): Outside Counsel of Record and House

Counsel (as well as their support staff). 2.6 Designating Party: a Party or Non-Party that designates information or

items that it produces in disclosures or in responses to discovery as "CONFIDENTIAL," "HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL--ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY," or "HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL--SOURCE CODE." 2.7 Disclosure or Discovery Material: all items or information, regardless of

the medium or manner in which it is generated, stored, or maintained (including, among other things, testimony, transcripts, and tangible things), that are produced or generated in disclosures or responses to discovery in this matter. -2-

as "CONFIDENTIAL," "HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL--ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY," or "HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL--SOURCE CODE." 2.16 Receiving Party: a Party that receives Disclosure or Discovery Material

from a Producing Party. 3. SCOPE

The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only Protected Material (as defined above), but also (1) any information copied or extracted from Protected Material; (2) -3-

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28

all copies, excerpts, summaries, or compilations of Protected Material; and (3) any testimony, conversations, or presentations by Parties or their Counsel that might reveal Protected Material. Any use of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by a separate agreement or order. 4. DURATION

Even after final disposition of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations imposed by 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 claims and defenses in this action, with prejudice; and (2) final judgment herein after the completion and exhaustion of all appeals, rehearings, remands, trials, or reviews of this action, including the time limits for filing any motions or applications for extension of time pursuant to applicable law. 5. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL 5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection.

Each Part y or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under this Order will take due care to limit any such designation to specific material that qualifies under the appropriate standards. 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 the material, documents, items, or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order. 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 Parties that it is withdrawing the mistaken designation. 5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in this

Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection under this Order must be clearl y so designated before the material is disclosed or produced. Designation in conformity with this Order requires:

-4-

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28

(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 Part y affix the legend "CONFIDENTIAL," "HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL--ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY," or "HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL--SOURCE CODE" in the margin of each page that contains protected material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins) and must specify, for each portion, the level of protection being asserted (either "CONFIDENTIAL" or "HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL-- ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY"). A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents or materials available for inspection need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated which material it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and before the designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be deemed "HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL--ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY." After the inspecting Party has identified the documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine which documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order. Then, before producing the specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the appropriate legend ("CONFIDENTIAL," "HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL--ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY," or "HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL--SOURCE CODE") at the top of each page that contains Protected Material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins) and must specify, for each portion, the level of protection asserted (either "CONFIDENTIAL," "HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL--ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY," or "HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL--SOURCE CODE"). (b) for testimony given in deposition or in other pretrial or trial proceedings,

unless otherwise designated before the close of deposition, pre-trial or trial proceedings, testimony given therein shall be treated as "HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL--ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY" for at least fifteen (15) Calendar days after the final transcript has been sent by the court -5-

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28

reporter to counsel for the Producing Part y whose information has been disclosed (or until such other date as may be agreed upon by the parties). Receipt of rough transcripts shall not trigger this 15-day period. Such testimony may be designated "CONFIDENTIAL," "HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL--ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY," or "HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL--SOURCE CODE" during the 15-day (or other agreed upon) period by written notice to all counsel indicating the specific testimony to be designated (by page and line numbers or other specific reference) and the level of protection being asserted ("CONFIDENTIAL," "HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL--ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY," or "HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL--SOURCE CODE"). Unless so designated, any confidentiality is waived after the expiration of the 15-day (or other agreed upon) period, unless otherwise stipulated or ordered. (c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and for any

other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the exterior of the container or containers in which the information or item is stored the legend "CONFIDENTIAL," "HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL--ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY," or "HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL--SOURCE CODE." If only a portion or portions of the information or item warrant protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the protected portion(s), specifying whether they qualify as "CONFIDENTIAL," "HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL--ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY," or "HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL--SOURCE CODE." 5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent failure

to designate qualified information or items as "CONFIDENTIAL," "HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL--ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY," or "HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL--SOURCE CODE" does not, standing alone, waive the Designating Party's right to secure protection under this Order for such material. If material is appropriately designated as "CONFIDENTIAL," "HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL--ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY," or "HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL--SOURCE CODE" after the material was initially produced, the Receiving Part y must make reasonable efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this Order. -6-

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28

6.

CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS 6.1 Timing of Challenges. Any Part y or Non-Party may challenge a

designation of confidentiality at any time. Unless a prompt challenge to a Designating Party's confidentiality designation is necessary to avoid foreseeable, substantial unfairness, unnecessary economic burdens, or a significant disruption or delay of the litigation, a Party does not waive its right to challenge a confidentiality designation by electing not to mount a challenge promptly after the original designation is disclosed. 6.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Part y shall initiate the dispute

resolution process by providing written notice of each designation it is challenging and describing the basis for each challenge. To avoid ambiguity as to whether a challenge has been made, the written notice must recite that the challenge to confidentiality is being made in accordance with this specific paragraph of the Protective Order. The parties shall attempt to resolve each challenge in good faith and must begin the process by conferring directly (in voice to voice dialogue; other forms of communication are not sufficient) within 14 days of the date of service of notice. In conferring, the Challenging Party must explain the basis for its belief that the confidentialit y designation was not proper and must give the Designating Party an opportunity to review the designated material, to reconsider the circumstances, and, if no change in designation is offered, to explain the basis for the chosen designation. A Challenging Part y may proceed to the next stage of the challenge process only if it has engaged in this meet and confer process first or establishes that the Designating Party is unwilling to participate in the meet and confer process in a timely manner. 6.3 Judicial Intervention. If the Parties cannot resolve a challenge without

court intervention, the Designating Part y shall file and serve a motion to retain confidentiality under Civil Local Rule 7 (and in compliance with Civil Local Rule 79-5, if applicable) within 21 days of the initial notice of challenge or within 14 days of the parties agreeing that the meet and confer process will not resolve their dispute, whichever is earlier. Each such motion must be accompanied by a competent declaration affirming that the movant has complied with the meet and confer requirements imposed in the preceding paragraph. Failure by the Designating Party to -7-

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28

make such a motion including the required declaration within 21 days (or 14 days, if applicable) shall automatically waive the confidentiality designation for each challenged designation. In addition, the Challenging Party may file a motion challenging a confidentiality designation at any time if there is good cause for doing so, including a challenge to the designation of a deposition transcript or any portions thereof. Any motion brought pursuant to this provision must be accompanied by a competent declaration affirming that the movant has complied with the meet and confer requirements imposed by the preceding paragraph. The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on the Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper purpose (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Challenging Part y to sanctions. Unless the Designating Party has waived the confidentiality designation by failing to file a motion to retain confidentiality as described above, all parties shall continue to afford the material in question the level of protection to which it is entitled under the Producing Party's designation until the court rules on the challenge. 7. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 7.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is

disclosed or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this case only for prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this litigation. Such Protected Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the conditions described in this Order. When the litigation has been terminated, a Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of section 13 below (FINAL DISPOSITION). 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 the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a Receiving Party may disclose any information or item designated "CONFIDENTIAL" only to: (a) the Receiving Party's Outside Counsel of Record in this action, as well as -8-

employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably necessary to disclose the information for this litigation; (b) the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel) of the

Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the "Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound" (Exhibit A); (c) 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 Agreement to Be Bound" (Exhibit A); (d) (e) the court and its personnel; court reporters and their staff, professional jury or trial consultants, and
