DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
5.1

Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection.

19

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

20

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

21

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

22

documents, items, or oral or written communications that qualify - so that other portions of the

23

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

24

unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order.

25

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

26

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

27

unnecessarily encumber or retard the case development process or to impose utmecessary expenses

28

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

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER (NO.3: 13CV -04359-MMC)

4.

If it comes to a Designating Party's attention that information or items that it
2

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

3

all other Parties that it is withdrawing the mistaken designation.
5.2

4

Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in

5

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

6

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

7

designated before the material is disclosed or produced.

8

Designation in conformity with this Order requires:

9

(a)

for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic

10

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

11

Producing Party affix the legend "CONFIDENTIAL" to each page that contains protected material.

12

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

13

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

14

margins).

15

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

16

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

17

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

18

the material made available for inspection shall be deemed "CONFIDENTIAL." After the inspecting

19

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

20

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

21

before producing the specified documents, the Producing Party must atlix the "CONFIDENTIAL"

22

legend to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a portion or portions of the material on

23

a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s)

24

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

25

(b)

for testimony given in deposition or in other pretrial or trial

26

proceedings, that the Designating Party identify on the record, before the close of the deposition,

27

hearing, or other proceeding, all protected testimony.

5.

(c)

for information produced in some form other than documentary and

2

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

3

container or containers in which the infom1ation or item is stored the legend "CONFIDENTIAL." If

4

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

5

· extent practicable, shall identifY the protected portion(s).

6

5.3

Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent

7

failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone; waive the Designating

8

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

9

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

l0
11

12

accordance with the provisions of this Order.
6.

CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
6.1

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

13

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

14

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

15

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

16

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

17

the original designation is disclosed.

18

6.2

Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute

19

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

20

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

21

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

22

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

23

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

24

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

25

the Challenging Party must explain the basis for its beliefthat the confidentiality designation was not

26

proper and must give the Designating Pat1y an opportunity to review the designated material, to

27

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

28

chosen designation. A Challenging Party 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
2

participate in the meet and confer process in a timely manner.

3

6.3

Judicial Intervention. If the Parties cannot resolve a challenge without

4

court intervention, the Designating Party shall file and serve a motion to retain confidentiality under

5

Civil Local Rule 7 (and in compliance with Civil Local Rule 79-5, if applicable) within 21 days of the

6

initial notice of challenge or within 14 days of the parties agreeing that the meet and confer process will

7

not resolve their dispute, whichever is earlier. Each such motion must be accompanied by a competent

8

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

9

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

10

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

l1

designation for each challenged designation. In addition, the Challenging Party may file a motion

12

challenging a confidentiality designation at any time if there is good cause for doing so, including a

13

challenge to the designation of a deposition transcript or any portions thereof Any motion brought

14

pursuant to this provision must be accompanied by a competent declaration affirming that the movant has

15

complied with the meet and confer requirements imposed by the preceding paragraph.

16

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

17

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

18

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

19

Unless the Designating Party has waived the confidentiality designation by failing to file a motion to

20

retain confidentiality as described above, all parties shall continue to afford the material in question the

21

level of protection to which it is entitled under the Producing Party's designation until the court rules on

22

the challenge.

INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE

PROTECTED MATERIAL

3

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

4

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

5

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

6

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

7

provides for production without prior privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d)

8

and (e), insofar as the parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure of a communication or

9

information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work product protection, the parties may

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

15

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

16

producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in this Stipulated Protective Order.

17

Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on any ground to use in evidence of any of the material

18

covered by this Protective Order.

19

12.3

Filing Protected Material. Without written pennission from the

20

Designating Party or a court order secured after appropriate notice to all interested persons, a Party

21

may not file in the public record in this action any Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file

22

under seal any Protected Material must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5. Protected Material may

23

only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the specific Protected

24

Material at issue. Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5, a sealing order will issue only upon a request

25

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

26

otherwise entitled to protection under the law. If a Receiving Party's request to file Protected
