PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS

2

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

4

disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may be warranted.

5

Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to enter the following

6

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

7

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

8

public disclosure and use extends only to the limited information or items that are entitled to

9

confidential treatment under the applicable legal principles. The parties further acknowledge, as

10

set forth in Section 12.3, below, that this Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file

11

confidential information under seal; Civil Local Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be

12

followed and the standards that will be applied when a party seeks permission from the Court to

13

file material under seal.

14

28

(2) all copies, excerpts, summaries, or compilations of Protected Material; and (3) any testimony,
2
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
Case No. 3:14-cv-00755-VC

833924.02

1

conversations, or presentations by Parties or their Counsel that might reveal Protected Material.

2

However, the protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order do not cover the following

3

information: (a) any information that is in the public domain at the time of disclosure to a

4

Receiving Party or becomes part of the public domain after its disclosure to a Receiving Party as

5

a result of publication not involving a violation of this Order, including becoming part of the

6

public record through trial or otherwise; and (b) any information known to the Receiving Party

7

prior to the disclosure or obtained by the Receiving Party after the disclosure from a source who

8

obtained the information lawfully and under no obligation of confidentiality to the Designating

9

Party. Any use of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by a separate agreement or order.

10

4.

DURATION

11

Even after final disposition of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations imposed by

12

this Order shall remain in effect until a Designating Party agrees otherwise in writing or a court

13

order otherwise directs. Final disposition shall be deemed to be the later of (1) dismissal of all

14

claims and defenses in this action, with or without prejudice; and (2) final judgment herein after

15

the completion and exhaustion of all appeals, rehearings, remands, trials, or reviews of this action,

16

including the time limits for filing any motions or applications for extension of time pursuant to

17

applicable law.

18

5.

19

DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
5.1

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

20

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

21

to limit any such designation to specific documents that qualify under the appropriate standards.

22

Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations that are shown to be

23

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

24

encumber or retard the case development process or to impose unnecessary expenses and burdens

25

on other parties) expose the Designating Party to sanctions.

26

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

27

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

28

Parties that it is withdrawing the mistaken designation.
3
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
Case No. 3:14-cv-00755-VC

833924.02

1

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

Designation in conformity with this Order requires:

6

(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

8

Party affix the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” to each page of each document that contains protected

9

material.

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 inspecting Party has indicated which

12

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

13

of the material made available for inspection shall be deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the

14

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

15

must determine which documents qualify for protection under this Order. Then, before producing

16

the specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the “CONFIDENTIAL” legend to each

17

page of each document that contains Protected Material.

18

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

19

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

20

proceeding, all protected testimony.

21

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

22

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

23

or containers in which the information or item is stored the legend “CONFIDENTIAL.”

24

(d) the parties do not currently anticipate that this matter will require production of

25

“Attorneys’ Eyes Only” materials, but agree that, in the unlikely event that production of such

26

information becomes necessary, they will meet and confer to amend this Protective Order as

27

necessary to provide an appropriate and mutually agreeable “Attorneys’ Eyes Only” tier of

28

confidentiality.
4
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
Case No. 3:14-cv-00755-VC

833924.02

1

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

5

treated in accordance with the provisions of this Order.

6

6.

7

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

10

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

11

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

12

original designation is disclosed.

13

6.2

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

14

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

15

for each challenge. The parties shall attempt to resolve each challenge in good faith and must

16

begin the process by conferring directly (in voice to voice dialogue; other forms of

17

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

18

the Challenging Party must explain the basis for its belief that the confidentiality designation was

19

not proper and must give the Designating Party an opportunity to review the designated material,

20

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

21

for the chosen designation. A Challenging Party may proceed to the next stage of the challenge

22

process only if it has engaged in this meet and confer process first or establishes that the

23

Designating Party is unwilling to participate in the meet and confer process in a timely manner.

24

6.3

Judicial Intervention. If the Parties cannot resolve a challenge without court

25

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

26

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

27

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

28

process will not resolve their dispute, whichever is earlier. Each such motion must be
5
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
Case No. 3:14-cv-00755-VC

833924.02

1

accompanied by a competent declaration affirming that the movant has complied with the meet

2

and confer requirements imposed in the preceding paragraph. Failure by the Designating Party to

3

make such a motion including the required declaration within 21 days (or 14 days, if applicable)

4

shall automatically waive the confidentiality designation for each challenged designation. In

5

addition, the Challenging Party may file a motion challenging a confidentiality designation at any

6

time if there is good cause for doing so, including a challenge to the designation of a deposition

7

transcript or any portions thereof. Any motion brought pursuant to this provision must be

8

accompanied by a competent declaration affirming that the movant has complied with the meet

9

and confer requirements imposed by the preceding paragraph.

10

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

11

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

12

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

13

sanctions. Unless the Designating Party has waived the confidentiality designation by failing to

14

file a motion to retain confidentiality as described above, all parties shall continue to afford the

15

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

16

designation until the court rules on the challenge.

17

7.

18

ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
7.1

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

19

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

20

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

21

the categories of persons and under the conditions described in this Order. When the litigation has

22

been terminated, a Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of section 13 below (FINAL

23

DISPOSITION).

24

Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a location and

25

in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons authorized under this Order.

26

7.2

Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless otherwise ordered

27

by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a Receiving Party may disclose any

28

information or item designated “CONFIDENTIAL” only to:
6
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
Case No. 3:14-cv-00755-VC

833924.02

1

(a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this action, as well as

2

employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably necessary to disclose the

3

information for this litigation;

4

(b) the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel) of the

5

Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have

6

signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);

7

(c) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is

8

reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and

9

Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);

10

(d) the Court and its personnel;

11

(e) court reporters and their staff, professional jury or trial consultants, mock

12

jurors, and Professional Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation

13

and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);

14

(f) during their depositions, witnesses in the action to whom disclosure is

15

reasonably necessary and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound”

16

(Exhibit A), unless otherwise agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the court. Pages of

17

transcribed deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material must be

18

separately bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone except as permitted

19

under this Stipulated Protective Order.

20

(g) the author or recipient of a document containing the information, a corporate

21

representative or a custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information.

22

8.

PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN OTHER

23

LITIGATION

24

If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation that compels

25

disclosure of any information or items designated in this action as “CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party

26

must:

27
28

(a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall
include a copy of the subpoena or court order;
7
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
Case No. 3:14-cv-00755-VC

833924.02

1

(b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order to issue

2

in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the subpoena or order is subject

3

to this Protective Order. Such notification shall include a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order;

4

and

5
6

(c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued by
the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.

7

If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with the

8

subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this action as

9

“CONFIDENTIAL” before a determination by the court from which the subpoena or order

10

issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s permission. The Designating Party

11

shall bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in that court of its confidential material –

12

and nothing in these provisions should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving

13

Party in this action to disobey a lawful directive from another court.

14

9.

15

A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE PRODUCED IN THIS
LITIGATION

16

(a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a Non-Party

17

in this action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information produced by Non-Parties

18

in connection with this litigation is protected by the remedies and relief provided by this Order.

19

Nothing in these provisions should be construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking

20

additional protections.

21

(b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to produce a

22

Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is subject to an agreement

23

with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s confidential information, then the Party shall:

24

(1) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party that

25

some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality agreement with a Non-

26

Party;

27
28

(2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated Protective
Order in this litigation, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably specific description of
8
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
Case No. 3:14-cv-00755-VC

833924.02

1

the information requested; and

2

(3) make the information requested available for inspection by the Non-Party.

3

(c) If the Non-Party fails to object or seek a protective order from this court within

4

14 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party may produce

5

the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the discovery request. If the Non-Party

6

timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall not produce any information in its

7

possession or control that is subject to the confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a

8

determination by the court. Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the

9

burden and expense of seeking protection in this court of its Protected Material.

10

10.

11

UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed Protected

12

Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this Stipulated Protective

13

Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in writing the Designating Party of the

14

unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the

15

Protected Material, (c) inform the person or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were

16

made of all the terms of this Order, and (d) request such person or persons to execute the

17

“Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

18

11.

INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE PROTECTED

19

MATERIAL

20

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

21

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

22

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

23

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

24

order that provides for production without prior privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of

25

Evidence 502(d) and (e), insofar as the parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure of a

26

communication or information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work product

27

protection, the parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated protective order

28

submitted to the Court.
9
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
Case No. 3:14-cv-00755-VC

833924.02

1

Nothing in this Protective Order shall require production of information that a party

2

contends is protected from disclosure by the attorney-client privilege, the work product immunity

3

or other privilege, doctrine, right, or immunity. Disclosures among defendants’ attorneys of work

4

product or other communications relating to issues of common interest shall not affect or be

5

deemed a waiver of any applicable privilege or protection from disclosure. Pursuant to Fed. R.

6

Evid. 502(d), the production of a privileged or work-product-protected document is not a waiver

7

of privilege or protection from discovery in this case or in any other federal or state

8

proceeding. For example, the mere production of privilege or work-product-protected documents

9

in this case as part of a mass production is not itself a waiver in this case or any other federal or

10

state proceeding. A producing party may assert privilege or protection over produced documents

11

at any time by notifying the receiving party in writing of the assertion of privilege or

12

protection. In addition, information that contains privileged matter or attorney work product shall

13

be immediately returned if such information appears on its face to have been inadvertently

14

produced.

15

12.

16
17
18

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

19

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

20

information or item on any ground not addressed in this Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no

21

Party waives any right to object on any ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered

22

by this Protective Order.

23

12.3

Filing Protected Material. Without written permission from the Designating Party

24

or a court order secured after appropriate notice to all interested persons, a Party may not file in

25

the public record in this action any Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any

26

Protected Material must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5. Protected Material may only be filed

27

under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the specific Protected Material at

28

issue. Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5, a sealing order will issue only upon a request
10
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
Case No. 3:14-cv-00755-VC

833924.02

1

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

2

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

3

Material under seal pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5(d) is denied by the Court, then the

4

Receiving Party may file the information in the public record pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5(e)

5

unless otherwise instructed by the court.

6

13.

7

FINAL DISPOSITION
Within 60 days after the final disposition of this action, as defined in paragraph 4, each

8

Receiving Party must return all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such

9

material. As used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts,

10

compilations, summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected

11

Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the Receiving Party must

12

submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the same person or entity, to the

13

Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that (1) identifies (by category, where appropriate) all

14

the Protected Material that was returned or destroyed and (2) affirms that the Receiving Party has

15

not retained any copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or

16

capturing any of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are entitled to

17

retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition, and hearing transcripts,

18

legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert reports, attorney work

19

product, and consultant and expert work product, even if such materials contain Protected

20

Material. Any such archival copies that contain or constitute Protected Material remain subject to

21

this Protective Order as set forth in Section 4 (DURATION).

22

IT IS SO STIPULATED, THROUGH COUNSEL OF RECORD.
