PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS

2

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

3

proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public disclosure and from use

4

for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may be warranted. Accordingly, the parties

5

hereby stipulate to and petition the court to enter the following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties

6

acknowledge that this Order does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to

7

discovery and that the protection it affords from public disclosure and use extends only to the limited

8

information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment under the applicable legal principles.

9

The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 12.3, below, that this Stipulated Protective

10

Order does not entitle them to file confidential information under seal; Civil Local Rule 79-5 sets forth

11

the procedures that must be followed and the standards that will be applied when a party seeks

12

permission from the court to file material under seal.

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

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

information lawfully and under no obligation of confidentiality to the Designating Party. Any use of

6

Protected Material at trial shall be governed by a separate agreement or order.

7

4.

8

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

9

DURATION

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

10

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

11

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

12

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

13

limits for filing any motions or applications for extension of time pursuant to applicable law.

14

5.

DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL

15

5.1

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

16

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

17

any such designation to specific material that qualifies under the appropriate standards. The

18

Designating Party must designate for protection only those parts of material, documents, items, or oral

19

or written communications that qualify – so that other portions of the material, documents, items, or

20

communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept unjustifiably within the ambit of

21

this Order.

22

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

23

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

24

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

25

parties) expose the Designating Party to sanctions.

26

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

27

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

28

that it is withdrawing the mistaken designation.

n:\labor\li2017\150076\01178792.docx

1

5.2

Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in this Order (see,

2

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

3

Discovery Material that qualifies for protection under this Order must be clearly so designated before

4

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 excluding

7

transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that the Producing Party affix the

8

legend “CONFIDENTIAL” to each page that contains protected material. If only a portion or portions

9

of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the

10

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

12

not 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 identified

15

the documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine which documents,

16

or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order. Then, before producing the specified

17

documents, the Producing Party must affix the “CONFIDENTIAL” legend to each page that contains

18

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

19

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

20

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 tangible

25

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

26

in which the information or item is stored the legend “CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a portion or portions

27

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

28

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 right

3

to secure protection under this Order for such material. Upon timely correction of a designation, the

4

Receiving Party must make reasonable efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with

5

the provisions of this Order.

6

6.

CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS

7

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 designation

12

is disclosed.

13

6.2

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

14

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 recite

16

that the challenge to confidentiality is being made in accordance with this specific paragraph of the

17

Protective Order. The parties shall attempt to resolve each challenge in good faith and must begin the

18

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

19

sufficient) within 14 days of the date of service of notice. In conferring, the Challenging Party must

20

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

21

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

22

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

23

Challenging Party may proceed to the next stage of the challenge process only if it has engaged in this

24

meet and confer process first or establishes that the Designating Party is unwilling to participate in the

25

meet and confer process in a timely manner.

26

6.3

Judicial Intervention. No motions to compel shall be considered. Instead, the parties

27

must meet and confer in person for the purpose of resolving all disputes. If unable to resolve any

28

disputes, the parties shall file a joint letter that contains the following:

6

n:\labor\li2017\150076\01178792.docx

1

(a)

A cover page with the case caption, an attestation that the parties met and conferred in

2

person in a good faith attempt to resolve their dispute(s) prior to filing the letter, and the signature of

3

both parties or counsel;

4

(b)

A joint section setting forth the pertinent factual background and unresolved dispute;

5

(c)

A detailed summary of each party’s position, including citations to relevant legal

6

authority; and

7

(d)

8

The joint letter shall be limited to five pages, excluding the cover page, and may not be

Each party’s proposed compromise on the issue(s) in dispute.

accompanied by exhibits or affidavits other than exact copies of interrogatories, requests for

10

production of documents and/or responses, privilege logs, and relevant deposition testimony. It is

11

preferable that the parties file a separate letter for each dispute.

12

If the parties are unable to meet and confer as directed above, or a moving party is unable to

13

obtain the opposing party’s portion of a joint letter after the meet and confer session, the moving party

14

shall file a written request for a telephonic conference for the purpose of enforcing the Court’s meet

15

and confer requirement, or for the Court to fashion an alternative procedure. The written request shall

16

include a declaration which states any attempt to meet and confer and/or obtain the joint letter, the

17

reasons for the inability to comply with the standing order, and (if possible) three dates and times

18

during which all parties are available for a telephonic conference. The moving party may attach

19

exhibits to the declaration, but the declaration and exhibits combined may not exceed seven pages. The

20

Court will not excuse a party from the requisite in-person meeting unless good cause is shown.

21

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

22

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

23

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

24

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

25

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

26

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

27

challenge.

ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

2

7.1

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

3

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

4

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

5

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

6

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

7

DISPOSITION).

8
9
10

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

11

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

12

information or item designated “CONFIDENTIAL” only to:

13

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

14

said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably necessary to disclose the information for this

15

litigation and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached

16

hereto as Exhibit A;

17

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

18

whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the

19

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

20

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

21

necessary for this litigation and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound”

22

(Exhibit A);

23

(d) the court and its personnel;

24

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

25

Professional Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have

26

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

27
28

(f) during their depositions, witnesses in the action to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary
and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A), unless

PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN OTHER

LITIGATION

9

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

10

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

11

must:

12
13

(a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall include a copy of
the subpoena or court order;

14

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

15

litigation that some or all of the material covered by the subpoena or order is subject to this Protective

16

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

17
18
19

(c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued by the
Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.
If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with the subpoena or

20

court order shall not produce any information designated in this action as “CONFIDENTIAL” before a

21

determination by the court from which the subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has obtained the

22

Designating Party’s permission. The Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking

23

protection in that court of its confidential material – and nothing in these provisions should be

24

construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this action to disobey a lawful directive

25

from another court.

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

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

4

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

5

connection with this litigation is protected by the remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing

6

in these provisions should be construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional

7

protections.

8

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

9

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

10
11
12
13

not to produce the Non-Party’s confidential information, then the Party shall:
(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;
(2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated Protective Order in this

14

litigation, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably specific description of the information

15

requested; and

16

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

17

(c) If the Non-Party fails to object or seek a protective order from this court within 14 days of

18

receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party may produce the Non-Party’s

19

confidential information responsive to the discovery request. If the Non-Party timely seeks a

20

protective order, the Receiving Party shall not produce any information in its possession or control that

21

is subject to the confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a determination by the court.

22

Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking

23

protection in this court of its Protected Material.

24

10.

UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

25

If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed Protected

26

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

27

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

28

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

inform the person or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this

2

Order, and (d) request such person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be

3

Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE PROTECTED

MATERIAL

6

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

7

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

8

are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to

9

modify whatever procedure may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for production

10

without prior privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) and (e), insofar as the

11

parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure of a communication or information covered by

12

the attorney-client privilege or work product protection, the parties may incorporate their agreement in

13

the stipulated protective order submitted to the court.

14

12.

MISCELLANEOUS

15

12.1

Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any person to seek

16

its modification by the court in the future.
12.2

17

Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this Protective Order no

18

Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to disclosing or producing any information or

19

item on any ground not addressed in this Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any

20

right to object on any ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective

21

Order.

22

12.3

Filing Protected Material. Without written permission from the Designating Party or a

23

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

24

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

25

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

26

pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the specific Protected Material at issue. Pursuant to

27

Civil Local Rule 79-5, a sealing order will issue only upon a request establishing that the Protected

28

Material at issue is privileged, protectable as a trade secret, or otherwise entitled to protection under
AMENDED STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
CASE NO. 14-cv-01429-MEJ (JCS)

11

n:\labor\li2017\150076\01178792.docx

1

the law. If a Receiving Party's request to file Protected Material under seal pursuant to Civil Local

2

Rule 79-5(d) is denied by the court, then the Receiving Party may file the information in the public

3

record pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5(e) unless otherwise instructed by the court.

4

13.

FINAL DISPOSITION

5

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

6

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

7

used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts, compilations,

8

summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material. Whether the

9

Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the Receiving Party must submit a written certification to

10

the Producing Party (and, if not the same person or entity, to the Designating Party) by the 60 day

11

deadline that (1) identifies (by category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was

12

returned or destroyed and (2) affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any copies, abstracts,

13

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

14

Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are entitled to retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion

15

papers, trial, deposition, and hearing transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition and

16

trial exhibits, expert reports, attorney work product, and consultant and expert work product, even if

17

such materials contain Protected Material. Any such archival copies that contain or constitute

18

Protected Material remain subject to this Protective Order as set forth in Section 4 (DURATION).
