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

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

2

5.

DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL

3

5.1

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

4

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

5

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

6

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

7

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

8

items, or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept unjustifiably within

9

the ambit of this Order.

10

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

11

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

12

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

13

on other parties) expose the Designating Party to sanctions.

14

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

15

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

16

Parties that it is withdrawing the mistaken designation.

17

5.2

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

18

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

19

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

20

designated before the material is disclosed or produced.

21

Designation in conformity with this Order requires:

22

(a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic documents, but excluding

23
24

GEARY,
SHEA,
O’DONNELL,
GRATTAN &

MITCHELL
P.C.

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

25
LAW OFFICES OF

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

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

26

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

27
28

A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents or materials available for inspection
need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated which material
________________________________________________________________________________
-4Stipulated Protective Order

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

before producing the specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the “CONFIDENTIAL”

6

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

7

a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected

8

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

9

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

10

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

11

proceeding, all protected testimony.

12

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

13

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

14

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

15

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

16

practicable, shall identify the protected portion(s).

17

5.3

Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent failure to

18

designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive the Designating Party’s

19

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

20

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

21

in accordance with the provisions of this Order.

22

6.

CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS

23

6.1

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

24
25
LAW OFFICES OF

GEARY,
SHEA,
O’DONNELL,
GRATTAN &

MITCHELL
P.C.

confidentiality at any time. Unless a prompt challenge to a Designating Party’s confidentiality
designation is necessary to avoid foreseeable, substantial unfairness, unnecessary economic

26

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

27

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

28

original designation is disclosed.
________________________________________________________________________________
-5Stipulated Protective Order

1

6.2

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

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

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

6

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

7

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

8

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

9

must give the Designating Party an opportunity to review the designated material, to reconsider the

10

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

11

designation. A Challenging Party may proceed to the next stage of the challenge process only if it

12

has engaged in this meet and confer process first or establishes that the Designating Party is

13

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

14

6.3

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

15
16

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

19

competent declaration affirming that the movant has complied with the meet and confer

20

requirements imposed in the preceding paragraph. Failure by the Designating Party to make such a

21

motion including the required declaration within 21 days (or 14 days, if applicable) shall

22

automatically waive the confidentiality designation for each challenged designation. In addition, the

23

Challenging Party may file a motion challenging a confidentiality designation at any time if there is

24

good cause for doing so, including a challenge to the designation of a deposition transcript or any

25

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

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

portions thereof. Any motion brought pursuant to this provision must be accompanied by a

26

competent declaration affirming that the movant has complied with the meet and confer

27

requirements imposed by the preceding paragraph.

28

The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on the Designating
________________________________________________________________________________
-6Stipulated Protective Order

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

question the level of protection to which it is entitled under the Producing Party’s designation until

6

the court rules on the challenge.

7

7.

ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

8

7.1

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

9

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

10

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

11

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

12

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

13

DISPOSITION).

14
15
16

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

17

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

18

information or item designated “CONFIDENTIAL” only to:

19

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

20

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

PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN
OTHER LITIGATION

14
15

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

16

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

17

must:

18
19

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

20

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

21

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

22

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

(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

26

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

27

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

28

obtained the Designating Party’s permission. The Designating Party shall bear the burden and

provisions should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this action to

disobey a lawful directive from another court.

THIS LITIGATION

5
6

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

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

7

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

8

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

9

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

10

protections.

11

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

12

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

13

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

14
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;
(2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated Protective Order in this

17

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

18

requested; and

19
20

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

23

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

24

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

UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

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

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

2

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

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

4

Material, (c) inform the person or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the

INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE

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

10

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

11

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

12

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

13

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

14

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

15

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

16

the parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated protective order submitted to the court.

17

12.

MISCELLANEOUS

18

12.1

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

19
20

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

21

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

22

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

23

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

24

this Protective Order.

12.3

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

26

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

27

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

28

Protected Material must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5. Protected Material may only be filed
________________________________________________________________________________
- 10 Stipulated Protective Order

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5(d) is denied by the court, then the Receiving Party may file the

6

information in the public record pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5(e) unless otherwise instructed by

7

the court.

8

13.

FINAL DISPOSITION

9

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

10

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

11

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

12

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

13

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

14

certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the same person or entity, to the Designating Party)

15

by the 60 day deadline that (1) identifies (by category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material

16

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

17

abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or capturing any of the

18

Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are entitled to retain an archival copy

19

of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition, and hearing transcripts, legal memoranda,

20

correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert reports, attorney work product, and consultant

21

and expert work product, even if such materials contain Protected Material. Any such archival

22

copies that contain or constitute Protected Material remain subject to this Protective Order as set

23

forth in Section 4 (DURATION).
