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

Purposes and Limitations

3

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

4

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

5

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.

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.

26

28

information: (a) any information that is in the public domain at the time of disclosure to a Receiving
2
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER AND [PROPOSED] ORDER – CASE NO. 14-01835 VC

537319.4

1

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

2

3

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

4

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

5

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

6

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.

15

Designating Protected Material
5.1

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

16

or 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 Designating

18

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

19

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 this

21

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, then that Designating Party must promptly notify all other

28

Parties that it is withdrawing the mistaken designation.
3
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER AND [PROPOSED] ORDER – CASE NO. 14-01835 VC

537319.4

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, Disclosure or

3

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

4

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

7

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

8

Producing Party affix the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” to each page that contains protected material. If

9

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

10

must clearly 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

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, or

16

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,

22

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

23

proceeding, all protected testimony, or notify the other party in writing within 60 days of the portion of

24

the transcript to be designated as confidential.

25

(c)

for information produced in some form other than documentary and for

26

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

27

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

28
4
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER AND [PROPOSED] ORDER – CASE NO. 14-01835 VC
537319.4

1

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

2

extent practicable, shall identify the protected portion(s).

3

5.3

Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If corrected within a reasonable amount of

4

time, an inadvertent failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive

5

the Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such material. Upon timely

6

correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable efforts to assure that the material

7

is treated in accordance with the provisions of this Order.

8

6.

9

Challenging Confidentiality Designations
6.1

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

10

confidentiality at any time. Unless a prompt challenge to a Designating Party’s confidentiality

11

designation is necessary to avoid foreseeable, substantial unfairness, unnecessary economic burdens, or a

12

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

13

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

14

disclosed.

15

6.2

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

16

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

17

challenge. To avoid ambiguity as to whether a challenge has been made, the written notice must recite

18

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

19

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

20

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

21

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

22

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

23

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

24

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

25

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

26

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

27

confer process in a timely manner.

28
5
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER AND [PROPOSED] ORDER – CASE NO. 14-01835 VC
537319.4

1

6.3

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

2

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

3

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

4

notice of challenge or within 14 days of the parties agreeing that the meet and confer process will not

5

resolve their dispute, whichever is earlier. Each such motion must be accompanied by a competent

6

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

7

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

8

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

9

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

10

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

11

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

12

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

13

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

14

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

15

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

16

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

17

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

18

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

19

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

20

challenge.

21
22

7.

Access To and Use of Protected Material
7.1

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

23

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

24

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

25

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

26

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

27

DISPOSITION).

28
6
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER AND [PROPOSED] ORDER – CASE NO. 14-01835 VC
537319.4

1
2
3

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

4

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

5

information or item designated “CONFIDENTIAL” only to:

6

(a)

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

7

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

8

information for this litigation;

9
10

(b)

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

Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation;

11

(c)

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

12

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

13

Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);

14

(d)

the court and its personnel;

15

(e)

court reporters and their staff to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary

(f)

professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, and Professional

16
17

for this litigation;

18

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

19

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

20

(g)

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

21

reasonably necessary. Pages of transcribed deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal

22

Protected Material must be separately bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone

23

except as permitted under this Stipulated Protective Order.

24
25

(h)

the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a

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

8.

2

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

3

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

4

must:

Protected Material Subpoenaed or Ordered Produced In Other Litigation

5
6

(a)

promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall

include a copy of the subpoena or court order;

7

(b)

promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order to

8

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

9

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

10
11

(c)

cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued

by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.

12

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

13

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

14

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

15

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

16

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

17

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

18

from another court.

19

9.

20

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

21

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

22

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

23

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

24

protections.

25

(b)

In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to

26

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

27

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

28

shall:
8
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER AND [PROPOSED] ORDER – CASE NO. 14-01835 VC

537319.4

1

i.

promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-

2

Party that some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality agreement with a

3

Non-Party;

4

ii.

promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated

5

Protective Order in this litigation, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably specific

6

description of the information requested; and

7
8

iii.

make the information requested available for inspection by the

Non-Party.

9

(c)

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

10

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

11

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

12

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

13

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

14

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

15

seeking protection in this court of its Protected Material.

16

10.

17

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

Unauthorized Disclosure of Protected Material

18

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

19

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

20

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

21

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

22

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

23

Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

24

11.

25

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

26

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

27

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

28

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

Inadvertent Production of Privileged or Otherwise Protected Material

9
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER AND [PROPOSED] ORDER – CASE NO. 14-01835 VC
537319.4

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

the stipulated protective order submitted to the court.

5

12.

6
7

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.

8
9

Miscellaneous

12.2

Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this Protective

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

10

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

11

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

12

Protective Order.

13

12.3

Filing Protected Material. Without written permission from the Designating Party

14

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

15

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

16

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

17

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

18

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

19

Material at issue is privileged, protectable as a trade secret, or otherwise entitled to protection under the

20

law. If a Receiving Party's request to file Protected Material under seal pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-

21

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

22

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

23

13.

24

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

25

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

26

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

27

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

28

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

Final Disposition

10
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER AND [PROPOSED] ORDER – CASE NO. 14-01835 VC
537319.4

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

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

6

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

7

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

8

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

9

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