STIPULATION
1.
PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS
3
Disclosure and discovery activity in this action are likely to involve production of
4
confidential, proprietary, or private information, including protected health information (“PHI”),
5
for which special protection from public disclosure and from use for any purpose other than
6
prosecuting this litigation may be warranted. Accordingly, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil
7
Procedure 26(c), 45 C.F.R. § 164.512, and the applicable local rules, the parties stipulate to and
8
petition the court to enter the following Stipulated HIPAA Qualified Protective Order. The
9
parties, by and through their respective counsel, have mutually agreed that a protective order that
10
meets the requirements of a “qualified protective order,” as that term is defined by 45 C.F.R.
11
§ 164.512(e)(1)(v), is necessary and mutually agree to remain in full compliance with any privacy
12
requirements imposed by regulations promulgated under the Health Insurance Portability and
13
Accountability Act of 1996 (45 C.F.R. § 164) (“HIPAA”). The parties acknowledge that this
14
Order does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to discovery and that the
15
protection it affords from public disclosure and use extends only to the limited information or
16
items that are entitled to confidential treatment under the applicable legal principles. The parties
17
further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 12.3, below, that this Stipulated Protective Order
18
does not entitle them to file confidential information under seal; Civil Local Rule 79-5 sets forth
19
the procedures that must be followed and the standards that will be applied when a party seeks
20
permission from the court to file material under seal.
21

DEFINITIONS
2.1
Challenging Party: a Party or Non-Party that challenges the designation of
information or items under this Order.
24
2.2
“CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items: information (regardless of how it is
25
generated, stored or maintained) or tangible things that qualify for protection under Federal
26
Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c) and PHI as that term is defined under HIPAA and the Federal
27
Regulations enacted pursuant to HIPAA.

The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only Protected Material

(as defined above), but also (1) any information copied or extracted from Protected Material;
9
(2) all copies, excerpts, summaries, or compilations of Protected Material; and (3) any testimony,
10
conversations, or presentations by Parties or their Counsel that reveal Protected Material.
11
However, the protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order do not cover the following

16
prior to the disclosure or obtained by the Receiving Party after the disclosure from a source who
17
obtained the information lawfully and is under no obligation of confidentiality to the Designating
18
Party. Any use of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by a separate agreement or order.
19
4.
DURATION
20
Even after final disposition of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations imposed by
21
this Order shall remain in effect until a Designating Party agrees otherwise in writing or a court
22
order otherwise directs. Final disposition shall be deemed to be the later of (1) dismissal of all
23
claims and defenses in this action, with or without prejudice; and (2) final judgment in this action

DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
5.1
Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection. Each Party
3
or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under this Order must take care
4
to limit any such designation to specific material that qualifies under the appropriate standards.
5
The Designating Party must designate for protection only those parts of material, documents,
6
items, or oral or written communications that qualify – so that other portions of the material,
7
documents, items, or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept
8
unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order.
9
Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations that are
10
shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper purpose (e.g., to
11
unnecessarily encumber or retard the case development process or to impose unnecessary
12
expenses and burdens on other parties) expose the Designating Party to sanctions.
13
If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it designated
14
for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must promptly notify all other
15
Parties that it is withdrawing the mistaken designation.
16
5.2
Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in this Order
17
(see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below) or as otherwise stipulated or ordered,
18
Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection under this Order must be clearly so
19
designated before the material is disclosed or produced.
20
21
Designation in conformity with this Order requires:
(a)
for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic documents,
22
but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that the Producing
23
Party affix the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” to each page that contains protected material. If only
24
a portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also
25
must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the
26
margins). If the confidential information used or disclosed is PHI, the designating party shall
27
affix the phrase “CONFIDENTIAL PROTECTED HEALTH INFORMATION” on each page
28
containing the PHI.

STIPULATED HIPAA QUALIFIED
PROTECTIVE ORDER
Case No. 3:15-cv-02632-JST
1
A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents or materials available for inspection
2
need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated which
3
material it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and before the designation, all
4
of the material made available for inspection shall be deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the
5
inspecting Party has identified the documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party
6
must determine which documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order.
7
Then, before producing the specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the
8
“CONFIDENTIAL” or “CONFIDENTIAL PROTECTED HEALTH INFORMATION” legend to
9
each page that contains Protected Material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a page
10
qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s)
11
(e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins).
12
(b)
for testimony given in deposition or in other pretrial or trial proceedings,
13
that the Designating Party identify on the record, before the close of the deposition, hearing, or
14
other proceeding, all protected testimony.
15
(c)
for information produced in some form other than documentary and for any
16
other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the exterior of the
17
container or containers in which the information or item is stored the legend “CONFIDENTIAL.”
18
If only a portion or portions of the information or item warrant protection, the Producing Party, to
19
the extent practicable, shall identify the protected portion(s).
20
5.3
Inadvertent Failure to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent failure to
21
designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive the Designating Party’s
22
right to secure protection under this Order for such material. Upon timely correction of a
23
designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable efforts to assure that the material is
24
treated in accordance with the provisions of this Order.

CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
6.1
Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a designation of
27
confidentiality at any time. Unless a prompt challenge to a Designating Party’s confidentiality
28
designation is necessary to avoid foreseeable, substantial unfairness, unnecessary economic

burdens, or a significant disruption or delay of the litigation, a Party does not waive its right to
2
challenge a confidentiality designation by electing not to mount a challenge promptly after the
3
original designation is disclosed.
4
6.2
Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute resolution
5
process by providing written notice of each designation it is challenging and describing the basis
6
for each challenge. To avoid ambiguity as to whether a challenge has been made, the written
7
notice must recite that the challenge to confidentiality is being made in accordance with this
8
specific paragraph of the Protective Order. The parties shall attempt to resolve each challenge in
9
good faith and must begin the process by conferring directly within 14 days of the date of service
10
of notice. In conferring, the Challenging Party must explain the basis for its belief that the
11
confidentiality designation was not proper and must give the Designating Party an opportunity to
12
review the designated material, to reconsider the circumstances, and, if no change in designation
13
is offered, to explain the basis for the chosen designation. A Challenging Party may proceed to
14
the next stage of the challenge process only if it has engaged in this meet and confer process first
15
or establishes that the Designating Party is unwilling to participate in the meet and confer process
16
in a timely manner.
17
6.3
Judicial Intervention. If the Parties cannot resolve a challenge without court
18
intervention, the Designating Party shall file and serve a motion to retain confidentiality under
19
Civil Local Rule 7 (and in compliance with Civil Local Rule 79-5, if applicable) within 21 days
20
of the initial notice of challenge or within 14 days of the parties agreeing that the meet and confer
21
process will not resolve their dispute, whichever is earlier. Each such motion must be
22
accompanied by a competent declaration affirming that the movant has complied with the meet
23
and confer requirements imposed in the preceding paragraph. Failure by the Designating Party to
24
make such a motion including the required declaration within 21 days (or 14 days, if applicable)
25
shall automatically waive the confidentiality designation for each challenged designation. In
26
addition, the Challenging Party may file a motion challenging a confidentiality designation at any
27
time if there is good cause for doing so, including a challenge to the designation of a deposition
28
transcript or any portions thereof. Any motion brought pursuant to this provision must be

accompanied by a competent declaration affirming that the movant has complied with the meet
2
and confer requirements imposed by the preceding paragraph.
3
The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on the Designating
4
Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper purpose (e.g., to harass or impose
5
unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Challenging Party to
6
sanctions. Unless the Designating Party has waived the confidentiality designation by failing to
7
file a motion to retain confidentiality as described above, all parties shall continue to afford the
8
material in question the level of protection to which it is entitled under the Producing Party’s
9
designation until the court rules on the challenge.

7.
ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
7.1
Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is disclosed
12
or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this case only for prosecuting,
13
defending, or attempting to settle this litigation. Such Protected Material may be disclosed only
14
to the categories of persons and under the conditions described in this Order. When the litigation
15
has been terminated, a Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of section 13 below
16
(FINAL DISPOSITION).
17
Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a location and
18
in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons authorized under this Order.
19
7.2
Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless otherwise
20
ordered by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a Receiving Party may
21
disclose any information or item designated “CONFIDENTIAL” or “CONFIDENTIAL
22
PROTECTED HEALTH INFORMATION” only to:
23
(a)
the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this action, as well as
24
employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably necessary to disclose the
25
information for this litigation and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be

6
“CONFIDENTIAL” or “CONFIDENTIAL PROTECTED HEALTH INFORMATION” before a
7

8
the Designating Party’s permission. The Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of

10
construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this action to disobey a lawful
11
directive from another court.

13
A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE PRODUCED IN
THIS LITIGATION
14
(a)
The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a Non-
15
Party in this action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “CONFIDENTIAL PROTECTED
16
HEALTH INFORMATION.” Such information produced by Non-Parties in connection with this
17
litigation is protected by the remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in these
18
provisions should be construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional protections.
19
(b)
In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to
20
produce a Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is subject to an
21
agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s confidential information, then the
22
Party shall:
23
(1)

24
that some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality agreement with a Non-
25
Party;

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

5
produce the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the discovery request. If the
6
Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall not produce any information
7
in its possession or control that is subject to the confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party
8
before a determination by the court. Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall
9

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

INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE
PROTECTED MATERIAL
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). The Parties
23
further agree that pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d), the production of a privileged or
24
work-product-protected document, whether inadvertent or otherwise, is not a waiver of privilege
25
or protection from discovery in this case or in any other federal or state proceeding. This
26
provision is not intended to modify whatever procedure may be established in an e-discovery
27
order that provides for production without prior privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of
28
Evidence 502(d) and (e), insofar as the parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure of a

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.
7
12.2
Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this Protective
8
Order no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to disclosing or producing any
9
information or item on any ground not addressed in this Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly,
10
no Party waives any right to object on any ground to use in evidence of any of the material
11
covered by this Protective Order.
12
12.3
Filing Confidential Protected Health Information. Without written permission
13
from the Designating Party or a court order secured after appropriate notice to all interested
14
persons, a Party may not file in the public record in this action any Confidential Protected Health
15
Information. A Party that seeks to file under seal any Confidential Protected Health Information
16
must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5. Confidential Protected Health Information may only be
17
filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the specific Confidential
18
Protected Health Information. Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5, a sealing order will issue only
19
upon a request establishing that the Confidential Protected Health Information at issue is
20
privileged, protectable as a trade secret, or otherwise entitled to protection under the law. If a
21
Receiving Party's request to file Confidential Protected Health Information under seal pursuant to
22
Civil Local Rule 79-5(d) is denied by the court, then the Receiving Party may file the information
23
in the public record pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5(e) unless otherwise instructed by the court.

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