CASE NO. C 13-1935 JSW
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

19

I.

20

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

21

confidential, proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public

22

disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation would be

23

warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to enter the

24

following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this Order does not confer

25

blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to discovery and that the protection it affords

26

extends only to the limited information or items that are entitled under the applicable legal

27

principles to treatment as confidential. The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section

28

X, below, that this Stipulated Protective Order creates no entitlement to file confidential

14

D.

“Highly Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only” Information or Items:

15

extremely sensitive “Confidential Information or Items” whose disclosure to another Party or

16

nonparty would create a substantial risk of serious injury that could not be avoided by less

17

restrictive means. This shall include confidential and/or proprietary knowledge, data or

18

information of a Party. By way of illustration but not limitation, this shall include the identity,

19

structure, chemical formula and composition of any materials in research or development by a

20

Party; procedures and formulations for producing or manufacturing any such materials; all

21

DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
A.

Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection.

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

10

standards. A Designating Party must take care to designate for protection only those parts of

11
Gordon & Rees LLP

Each Party or non-party that designates information or items for protection under this Order must

9

Embarcadero Center West
275 Battery Street, Suite 2000
San Francisco, CA 94111

8

material, documents, items, or oral or written communications that qualify – so that other

12

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

13

warranted are not swept unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order.

14

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

15

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

16

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

17

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

18

If it comes to a Party’s or a non-party’s attention that information or items that it

19

designated for protection do not qualify for protection at all, or do not qualify for the level of

20

protection initially asserted, that Party or non-party must promptly notify all other parties that it

21

is withdrawing the mistaken designation.

22

B.

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

23

Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section V.C, below), or as otherwise stipulated or ordered,

24

material that qualifies for protection under this Order must be clearly so designated before the

25

material is disclosed or produced.

26
27
28

Designation in conformity with this Order requires:
1.

for information in documentary form (apart from transcripts of

depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that the Producing Party affix the legend
4
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
(CASE NO. C 13-1935 JW)

Case3:13-cv-01935-JSW Document23 Filed08/21/13 Page5 of 15

1

“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” at the top

2

of each page that contains protected material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a

3

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

4

portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins) and must specify, for each

5

portion, the level of protection being asserted (either “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY

6

CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”).

7

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

8

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

9

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

Gordon & Rees LLP

of the material made available for inspection shall be deemed “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL –

11
Embarcadero Center West
275 Battery Street, Suite 2000
San Francisco, CA 94111

10

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” After the inspecting Party has identified the documents it wants

12

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

13

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

14

Producing Party must affix the appropriate legend (“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY

15

CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”) at the top of each page that contains

16

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

17

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

18

making appropriate markings in the margins) and must specify, for each portion, the level of

19

protection being asserted (either “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL –

20

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”).

21

2.

for testimony given in deposition or in other pretrial or trial

22

proceedings, that the Party or non-party offering or sponsoring the testimony identify on the

23

record, before the close of the deposition, hearing, or other proceeding, all protected testimony,

24

and further specify any portions of the testimony that qualify as “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL –

25

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” When it is impractical to identify separately each portion of

26

testimony that is entitled to protection, and when it appears that substantial portions of the

27

testimony may qualify for protection, the Party or non-party that sponsors, offers, or gives the

28

testimony may invoke on the record (before the deposition or proceeding is concluded) a right to

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
(CASE NO. C 13-1935 JW)

Case3:13-cv-01935-JSW Document23 Filed08/21/13 Page6 of 15

1

have up to 20 days to identify the specific portions of the testimony as to which protection is

2

sought and to specify the level of protection being asserted (“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY

3

CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”). Only those portions of the testimony that

4

are appropriately designated for protection within the 20 days shall be covered by the provisions

5

of this Stipulated Protective Order.

6

Transcript pages containing Protected Material must be separately bound by the court

7

reporter, who must affix to the top of each such page the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” or

8

“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” as instructed by the Party or

9

nonparty offering or sponsoring the witness or presenting the testimony.

10

3.

for information produced in some form other than documentary,

Gordon & Rees LLP

Embarcadero Center West
275 Battery Street, Suite 2000
San Francisco, CA 94111

11

and for any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the

12

exterior of the container or containers in which the information or item is stored the legend

13

“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” If only

14

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

15

practicable, shall identify the protected portions, specifying whether they qualify as

16

“Confidential” or as “Highly Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only.”

17

C.

Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent

18

failure to designate qualified information or items as “Confidential” or “Highly Confidential –

19

Attorneys’ Eyes Only” does not, standing alone, waive the Designating Party’s right to secure

20

protection under this Order for such material. If material is appropriately designated as

21

“Confidential” or “Highly Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only” after the material was initially

22

produced, the Receiving Party, on timely notification of the designation, must make reasonable

23

efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this Order.

24
25

VI.

CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
A.

Timing of Challenges. Unless a prompt challenge to a Designating Party’s

26

confidentiality designation is necessary to avoid foreseeable substantial unfairness, unnecessary

27

economic burdens, or a later significant disruption or delay of the litigation, a Party does not

28

waive its right to challenge a confidentiality designation by electing not to mount a challenge

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
(CASE NO. C 13-1935 JW)

Case3:13-cv-01935-JSW Document23 Filed08/21/13 Page7 of 15

1

promptly after the original designation is disclosed.

2

B.

Meet and Confer. A Party that elects to initiate a challenge to a

3

Designating Party’s confidentiality designation must do so in good faith and must begin the

4

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

5

sufficient) with counsel for the Designating Party. In conferring, the challenging Party must

6

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

7

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

8

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

9

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

10

it has engaged in this meet and confer process first.

Gordon & Rees LLP

Embarcadero Center West
275 Battery Street, Suite 2000
San Francisco, CA 94111

11

C.

Judicial Intervention. A Party that elects to press a challenge to a

12

confidentiality designation after considering the justification offered by the Designating Party

13

may file and serve a motion under Civil Local Rule 7 (and in compliance with Civil Local Rule

14

79-5, if applicable) that identifies the challenged material and sets forth in detail the basis for the

15

challenge. Each such motion must be accompanied by a competent declaration that affirms that

16

the movant has complied with the meet and confer requirements imposed in the preceding

17

paragraph and that sets forth with specificity the justification for the confidentiality designation

18

that was given by the Designating Party in the meet and confer dialogue.

19

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

20

Party. Until the court rules on the challenge, all parties shall continue to afford the material in

21

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

22
23

VII.

ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
A.

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

24

disclosed or produced by another Party or by a non-party in connection with this case only for

25

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

26

disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the conditions described in this Order.

27

When the litigation has been terminated, a Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of

28

section XI, below (FINAL DISPOSITION).

(CASE NO. C 13-1935 JW)

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

B.

Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless

4

otherwise ordered by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a Receiving

5

Party may disclose any information or item designated CONFIDENTIAL only to:

Procedures for Approving Disclosure of “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL –

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” Information or Items to “Experts”
1.

Unless otherwise ordered by the court or agreed in writing by the

23

Designating Party, a Party that seeks to disclose to an “Expert” (as defined in this Order) any

24

information or item that has been designated “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’

25

EYES ONLY” first must make a written request to the Designating Party that (1) identifies the

26

specific HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL information that the Receiving Party seeks permission to

27

disclose to the Expert, (2) sets forth the full name of the Expert and the city and state of his or

28

her primary residence, (3) attaches a copy of the Expert’s current resume, (4) identifies the
9
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
(CASE NO. C 13-1935 JW)

Case3:13-cv-01935-JSW Document23 Filed08/21/13 Page10 of 15

1

Expert’s current employer(s), (5) identifies each person or entity from whom the Expert has

2

received compensation for work in his or her areas of expertise or to whom the expert has

3

provided professional services at any time during the preceding five years, and (6) identifies (by

4

name and number of the case, filing date, and location of court) any litigation in connection with

5

which the Expert has provided any professional services during the preceding five years. This

6

request shall accompany a Party’s disclosure of expert witnesses.

7

2.

A Party that makes a request and provides the information

8

specified in the preceding paragraph may disclose the subject Protected Material to the identified

9

Expert unless, within seven court days of delivering the request, the Party receives a written

Gordon & Rees LLP

objection from the Designating Party. Any such objection must set forth in detail the grounds on

11
Embarcadero Center West
275 Battery Street, Suite 2000
San Francisco, CA 94111

10

which it is based and be served via e-mail.

12

3.

A Party that receives a timely written objection must meet and

13

confer with the Designating Party (through direct voice to voice dialogue) to try to resolve the

14

matter by agreement. If no agreement is reached, the Party seeking to make the disclosure to the

15

Expert may file a motion as provided in Civil Local Rule 7 (and in compliance with Civil Local

16

Rule 79-5, if applicable) seeking permission from the court to do so. Any such motion must

17

describe the circumstances with specificity, set forth in detail the reasons for which the

18

disclosure to the Expert is reasonably necessary, assess the risk of harm that the disclosure would

19

entail and suggest any additional means that might be used to reduce that risk. In addition, any

20

such motion must be accompanied by a competent declaration in which the movant describes the

21

parties’ efforts to resolve the matter by agreement (i.e., the extent and the content of the meet and

22

confer discussions) and sets forth the reasons advanced by the Designating Party for its refusal to

23

approve the disclosure. Such a motion must be filed within 7 days of a Party receiving an

24

objection as specified in Section VII.D.3.

25

In any such proceeding, the Party opposing disclosure to the Expert shall bear the burden

26

of proving that the risk of harm that the disclosure would entail (under the safeguards proposed)

27

outweighs the Receiving Party’s need to disclose the Protected Material to its Expert. If the

28

matter in dispute is not resolved at least 10 days before the expert discovery cut-off, this Court
10
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
(CASE NO. C 13-1935 JW)

Case3:13-cv-01935-JSW Document23 Filed08/21/13 Page11 of 15

1

shall schedule a further case management conference to determine whether, among other things,

2

the expert witness discovery cut-off, and other case management dates should be continued.

3

VIII. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED
IN OTHER LITIGATION

4

If a Receiving Party is served with a subpoena or an order issued in other litigation that
5
would compel disclosure of any information or items designated in this action as
6
“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” the
7
Receiving Party must so notify the Designating Party, in writing (by fax, if possible)
8
immediately and in no event more than three court days after receiving the subpoena or order.
9
Such notification must include a copy of the subpoena or court order.
10
The Receiving Party also must immediately inform in writing the Party who caused the

Gordon & Rees LLP

Embarcadero Center West
275 Battery Street, Suite 2000
San Francisco, CA 94111

11
subpoena or order to issue in the other litigation that some or all the material covered by the
12
subpoena or order is the subject of this Protective Order. In addition, the Receiving Party must
13
deliver a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order promptly to the Party in the other action that
14
caused the subpoena or order to issue.
15
The purpose of imposing these duties is to alert the interested parties to the existence of
16
this Protective Order and to afford the Designating Party in this case an opportunity to try to
17
protect its confidentiality interests in the court from which the subpoena or order issued. The
18
Designating Party shall bear the burdens and the expenses of seeking protection in that court of
19
its confidential material – and nothing in these provisions should be construed as authorizing or
20
encouraging a Receiving Party in this action to disobey a lawful directive from another court.
21
22

IX.

UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed Protected
23
Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this Stipulated Protective
24
Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in writing the Designating Party of the
25
unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts to retrieve all copies of the Protected Material,
26
(c) inform the person or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of
27
this Order, and (d) request such person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment and
