PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS
A.

Plaintiffs Catherine Papasan, Nelson Goehle, Andrew Young, Jimmy Byers,

3

Christopher Johnston, and Richard and Leah Vollberg (collectively, “Plaintiffs”) and defendant

4

Dometic Corporation (“Defendant”), in the above-captioned action (the “Litigation”),

5

contemplate that disclosure and discovery activity in the Litigation are likely to involve

6

production of confidential, proprietary, or private information for which special protection from

7

public disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting the Litigation may be

8

warranted.

9

B.

Plaintiffs and Defendant (each referred to individually as a “Party,” and

10

collectively as “Parties”) stipulate to and petition the court to enter this Stipulated Protective

11

Order (“Order”) in the Litigation to facilitate the discovery process by protecting against the

12

unauthorized disclosure of confidential materials.

13

C.

The Parties acknowledge that this Order does not confer blanket protections on all

14

disclosures or responses to discovery and that the protection it affords from public disclosure and

15

use extends only to the limited information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment

16

under the applicable legal principles.

17

D.

The Parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section XII(C), below, that this

18

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

19

forth the procedures that must be followed and the standards that will be applied when a Party

20

seeks permission from the court to file material under seal.

III.

5

Receiving Party: a Party that receives Disclosure or Discovery Material from a

SCOPE
The protections conferred by this Order cover not only Protected Material (as defined

6

above in Section II(N)), but also (1) any information copied or extracted from Protected

7

Material; (2) all copies, excerpts, summaries, or compilations of Protected Material; and (3) any

8

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

9

Material. However, the protections conferred by this Order do not cover the following

10

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

11

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

12

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

13

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

14

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

IV.

DURATION

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

20

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

21

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

22

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

23

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

24

applicable law.

25

V.

26
27

DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
A.

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

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

28
A TTO R N EYS A T L AW
S AN F RA NC I SC O

3

[PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
CASE NO.: 3:16-cv-02117-HSG

1

care to limit any such designation to specific material that qualifies under the appropriate

2

standards. The Designating Party must designate for protection only those parts of material,

3

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

4

material, documents, items, or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept

5

unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order.

6

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

7

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

8

unnecessarily encumber or retard the case development process or to impose unnecessary

9

expenses and burdens on other parties) expose the Designating Party to sanctions.

10

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

11

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

12

Parties that it is withdrawing the mistaken designation.

13

B.

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

14

Order (see, e.g., Section V(B)(1) below), or as otherwise stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or

15

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

16

before the material is disclosed or produced.

17

Designation in conformity with this Order requires:

18

1.

for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic documents,

19

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

20

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

21

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

22

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

23

margins).

24

A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents or materials available for inspection

25

need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated which

26

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

27

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

28
A TTO R N EYS A T L AW
S AN F RA NC I SC O

4

[PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
CASE NO.: 3:16-cv-02117-HSG

1

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

2

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

3

Then, before producing the specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the

4

“CONFIDENTIAL” legend to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a portion or

5

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

6

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

7

2.

for testimony given in deposition or in other pretrial or trial proceedings,

8

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

9

other proceeding, all protected testimony. When it is impractical to identify separately each

10

portion of testimony that is entitled to protection and it appears that substantial portions of the

11

testimony may qualify for protection, the Designating Party may invoke on the record (before the

12

deposition, hearing, or other proceeding is concluded) a right to have up to 7 days from the date

13

of the deposition to identify the specific portions of the testimony as to which protection is

14

sought. Only those portions of the testimony that are appropriately designated for protection

15

within the 7 days shall be covered by the provisions of this Order. Alternatively, a Designating

16

Party may specify, at the deposition or up to 7 days afterwards if that period is properly invoked,

17

that the entire transcript shall be treated as “CONFIDENTIAL.

18

Parties shall give the other parties notice if they reasonably expect a deposition, hearing

19

or other proceeding to include Protected Material so that the other parties can ensure that only

20

authorized individuals who have, where required, signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement

21

to Be Bound” (Exhibit A) are present at those proceedings. The use of a document as an exhibit

22

at a deposition shall not in any way affect its designation as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Transcripts

23

containing Protected Material shall have an obvious legend on the title page that the transcript

24

contains Protected Material, and the title page shall be followed by a list of all pages (including

25

line numbers as appropriate) that have been designated as Protected Material. The Designating

26

Party shall inform the court reporter of these requirements. Any transcript that is prepared before

27

the expiration of a 7-day period for designation shall be treated during that period as if it had

28
A TTO R N EYS A T L AW
S AN F RA NC I SC O

5

[PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
CASE NO.: 3:16-cv-02117-HSG

1

been designated “CONFIDENTIAL” in its entirety unless otherwise agreed. After the expiration

2

of that period, the transcript shall be treated only as actually designated.

3

3.

for information produced in some form other than documentary and for

4

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

5

the container or containers in which the information or item is stored the legend

6

“CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a portion or portions of the information or item warrant protection,

7

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

8
9

C.

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

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

10

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

11

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

12

treated in accordance with the provisions of this Order.

13

VI.

14

CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
A.

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

15

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

16

designation is necessary to avoid foreseeable, substantial unfairness, unnecessary economic

17

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

18

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

19

original designation is disclosed.

20

B.

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

21

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

22

for each challenge. To avoid ambiguity as to whether a challenge has been made, the written

23

notice must recite that the challenge to confidentiality is being made in accordance with this

24

specific paragraph of the Order. The parties shall attempt to resolve each challenge in good faith

25

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

26

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

27

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

28
A TTO R N EYS A T L AW
S AN F RA NC I SC O

6

[PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
CASE NO.: 3:16-cv-02117-HSG

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

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

6

C.

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

7

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

8

compliance with Civil Local Rules 7 and 79-5 within 21 days of the initial notice of challenge or

9

within 14 days of the parties agreeing that the meet and confer process will not resolve their

10

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

11

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

12

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

13

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

14

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

15

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

16

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

17

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

18

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

19

requirements imposed by the preceding paragraph.

20

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

21

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

22

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

23

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

24

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

25

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

26

designation until the Court rules on the challenge.

VII.

ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
A.

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

3

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

4

prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this Litigation. Such Protected Material may be

5

disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the conditions described in this Order.

6

When the Litigation has been terminated, a Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of

7

Section XIII below (FINAL DISPOSITION).

8

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

9

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

10

B.

Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless otherwise

11

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

12

disclose any information or item designated “CONFIDENTIAL” only to:

the Outside Counsel of Record for the respective parties in this action, as

14

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

15

disclose the information for this Litigation;

16

persons or entities that provide litigation support services (e.g.,

2

photocopying, videotaping, translating, preparing exhibits or demonstratives, and professional

3

jury or trial consultants) and other Professional Vendors and their employees and subcontractors

4

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

8.

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

7

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

8

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

9

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

10

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

11

under this Order;

12

9.

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

custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information; and

14

the Receiving Party’s insurance carrier or carrier(s) and their counsel to

15

the extent reasonably related to any actual or potential coverage in connection with this

16

Litigation.

20

mutual agreement of the Parties and who will sign the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be

21

Bound” (Exhibit A), the parties agree to promptly meet and confer to reach a resolution.

22

VIII. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN

23

OTHER 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

26

Party must:

27

1.

promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall

28
A TTO R N EYS A T L AW
S AN F RA NC I SC O

9

[PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
CASE NO.: 3:16-cv-02117-HSG

1

include a copy of the subpoena or court order;

2

2.

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

3

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

4

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

5
6

3.

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 or lawful subpoena issued in

14

another action.

15

IX.

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

16

THIS LITIGATION

17

A.

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

18

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

19

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

20

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

21

additional protections.

22

B.

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

23

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

24

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

25

1.

promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party that

26

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

27

Party;

28
A TTO R N EYS A T L AW
S AN F RA NC I SC O

10

[PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
CASE NO.: 3:16-cv-02117-HSG

1

2.

promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Order in this

2

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

3

information requested; and

4

3.

5

C.

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

If the Non-Party fails to object or seek a protective order from this court within 14

6

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

7

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

8

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

9

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

10

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

11

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

12

X.

13

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

14

Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this Order, the Receiving

15

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

16

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

17

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

18

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

19

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

20

XI.

INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE

21

PROTECTED MATERIAL

22

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

23

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

24

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

25

provision is not intended to modify whatever procedure may be established in an ESI protocol

26

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

27

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

28
A TTO R N EYS A T L AW
S AN F RA NC I SC O

11

[PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
CASE NO.: 3:16-cv-02117-HSG

1

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

2

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

3

submitted to the Court.

4

XII.

5
6
7

MISCELLANEOUS
A.

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

to seek its modification by the court in the future.
B.

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

9

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

10

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

11

Protective Order.

12

C.

Filing Protected Material. Without written permission from the Designating

13

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

14

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

15

seal any Protected Material must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5. Protected Material may

16

only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the specific Protected

17

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

18

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

19

secret, or otherwise entitled to protection under the law. If a Receiving Party’s request to file

20

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

21

the Receiving Party may file the information in the public record pursuant to Civil Local Rule

22

79-5(e) unless otherwise instructed by the court.

23

XIII. FINAL DISPOSITION

24

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

25
