PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS
Disclosure and discovery activity in this action are likely to involve production of
3
confidential, proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public disclosure
4
and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may be warranted. Accordingly,
5
the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the court to enter the following Stipulated Protective
6
Order. The parties acknowledge that this Order does not confer blanket protections on all
7
disclosures or responses to discovery and that the protection it affords from public disclosure and use
8
extends only to the limited information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment under the
9
applicable legal principles. The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 12.3, below, that
10
this Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential information under seal;
11

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

DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
5.1
Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection. Each Party or
15
Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under this Order must take care to
16
limit any such designation to specific material that qualifies under the appropriate standards. The
17
Designating Party must designate for protection only those parts of material, documents, items, or
18
oral or written communications that qualify – so that other portions of the material, documents,
19
items, or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept unjustifiably within
20
the ambit of this Order.
21
Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations that are shown
22
to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily
23
encumber or retard the case development process or to impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on
24
other parties) expose the Designating Party to sanctions.
25
If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it designated for
26
protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must promptly notify all other Parties
27
that it is withdrawing the mistaken designation.

5.2
Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in this Order
2
(see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise stipulated or ordered,
3
Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection under this Order must be clearly so
4
designated before the material is disclosed or produced.
5
6
Designation in conformity with this Order requires:
(a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic documents, but
7
excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that the Producing Party
8
affix the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” to each page that contains protected material. If only a portion
9
or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly
10
identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins).
11
A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents or materials available for inspection need not
12
designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated which material it would
13
like copied and produced. During the inspection and before the designation, all of the material made
14
available for inspection shall be deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has
15
identified the documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine which
16
documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order. Then, before producing the
17
specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the “CONFIDENTIAL” legend to each page
18
that contains Protected Material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for
19
protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making
20
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 or
26
containers in which the information or item is stored the legend “CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a
27
portion or portions of the information or item warrant protection, the Producing Party, to the extent
28
practicable, shall identify the protected portion(s).

5.3
Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent failure to
2
designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive the Designating Party’s
3
right to secure protection under this Order for such material. Upon timely correction of a
4
designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable efforts to assure that the material is treated in
5
accordance with the provisions of this Order.

CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
6.1
Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a designation of
8
confidentiality at any time. Unless a prompt challenge to a Designating Party’s confidentiality
9
designation is necessary to avoid foreseeable, substantial unfairness, unnecessary economic burdens,
10
or a significant disruption or delay of the litigation, a Party does not waive its right to challenge a
11
confidentiality designation by electing not to mount a challenge promptly after the original
12
designation is disclosed.
13
6.2
Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute resolution process
14
by providing written notice of each designation it is challenging and describing the basis for each
15
challenge. To avoid ambiguity as to whether a challenge has been made, the written notice must
16
recite that the challenge to confidentiality is being made in accordance with this specific paragraph
17
of the Protective Order. The parties shall attempt to resolve each challenge in good faith and must
18
begin the process by conferring directly (in voice to voice dialogue; other forms of communication
19
are not sufficient) within 14 days of the date of service of notice. In conferring, the Challenging
20
Party must explain the basis for its belief that the confidentiality designation was not proper and
21
must give the Designating Party an opportunity to review the designated material, to reconsider the
22
circumstances, and, if no change in designation is offered, to explain the basis for the chosen
23
designation. A Challenging Party may proceed to the next stage of the challenge process only if it
24
has engaged in this meet and confer process first or establishes that the Designating Party is
25
unwilling to participate in the meet and confer process in a timely manner.
26
6.3
Judicial Intervention. If the Parties cannot resolve a challenge without court
27
intervention, the Challenging Party shall file and serve a motion challenging the Designating Party’s
28
confidentiality designation. 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

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.

All parties shall continue to afford the material in question the level of protection to which it is

challenge.

ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
7.1
Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is disclosed or
11
produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this case only for prosecuting,
12
defending, or attempting to settle this litigation. Such Protected Material may be disclosed only to
13
the categories of persons and under the conditions described in this Order. When the litigation has
14
been terminated, a Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of section 13 below (FINAL
15
DISPOSITION).
16
17
18
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
19
by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a Receiving Party may disclose any
20
information or item designated “CONFIDENTIAL” only to:
21
(a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this action, as well as employees
22
of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably necessary to disclose the information for
23
this litigation;
24
(b) the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel but excluding
25
Outside Counsel of Record) of the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for

LITIGATION
PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN OTHER
16
If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation that compels
17
disclosure of any information or items designated in this action as “CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party
18
must:
19
20
21
(a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall include a

LITIGATION

A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE PRODUCED IN THIS
(a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a Non-Party in this
8
action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information produced by Non-Parties in
9
connection with this litigation is protected by the remedies and relief provided by this Order.
10
Nothing in these provisions should be construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional
11
protections.
12
(b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to produce a Non-
13
Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is subject to an agreement with the
14
Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s confidential information, then the Party shall:
15
16
(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;
17
(2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated Protective Order in
18
this litigation, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably specific description of the
19
information requested; and
20
(3) make the information requested available for inspection by the Non-Party.
21
(c) If the Non-Party fails to object or seek a protective order from this court within 14
22
days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party may produce the
23
Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the discovery request. If the Non-Party timely
24
seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall not produce any information in its possession or
25
control that is subject to the confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a determination by
26
the court. Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the burden and expense of
27
seeking protection in this court of its Protected Material.

MATERIAL
INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE PROTECTED
10
When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain inadvertently produced
11
material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection, the obligations of the Receiving Parties
12
are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(5)(B).
13
The Parties agree on the following procedures, in addition to the express requirements
14
of Rule 26(b)(5)(B), to assert claims of privilege or of work-product after production and ask that the
15
Court approve the same by entry of this Stipulated Protective Order:
16
(1)
The inadvertent disclosure or production of any information or
17
document that is protected by the attorney-client privilege or work-product protection
18
will not be deemed to waive a Party’s claim to its privileged or protected nature or to
19
estop that Party or the privilege holder from designating the information or document
20
as attorney-client privileged or subject to the work product doctrine at a later date.
21
(2)
In the event that the Receiving Party discovers that it has received
22
what it reasonably believes may be attorney-client privileged or work-product
23
protected information or documents, it will bring that fact to the attention of the
24
Producing Party immediately.
25
(3)
Upon the request of the Producing Party, the Receiving Party will
26
return the information or documents to the producing party within five (5) business
27
days, including any copies that the Receiving Party may have made, regardless of

No such inadvertently produced attorney-client privilege or work-

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
15
no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to disclosing or producing any
16
information or item on any ground not addressed in this Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no
17
Party waives any right to object on any ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by
18
this Protective Order.
19
12.3
Filing Protected Material. Without written permission from the Designating Party or
20
a court order secured after appropriate notice to all interested persons, as specified above, a Party
21
may not file in the public record in this action any Protected Material. A Party that has not obtained
22
permission or a court order and who wishes to file any Protected Material must comply with Civil
23
Local Rule 79-5 and General Order 62. Protected Material may only be filed under seal pursuant to
24
a court order authorizing the sealing of the specific Protected Material at issue. Pursuant to Civil
25
Local Rule 79-5 and General Order 62, a sealing order will issue only upon a request establishing
26
