PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS
of confidential, proprietary, or private information for which special protection from
public disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation
5
6
may be warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the court to
7
enter the following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this
8
Order does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to discovery
9
and that the protection it affords from public disclosure and use extends only to the

limited 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
13
14
15
Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential information under
seal; Civil Local Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be followed and the

standards that will be applied when a party seeks permission from the court to file
18
material under seal.

DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
5.1 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 care to limit any such designation to specific material that qualifies
20
21
under the appropriate standards. The Designating Party must designate for protection
22
only those parts of material, documents, items, or oral or written communications that
23
qualify – so that other portions of the material, documents, items, or communications
24
for which protection is not warranted are not swept unjustifiably within the ambit of
25
this Order.

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER FOR STANDARD LITIGATION
1
2
3
Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations
that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper
purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber or retard the case development process or to
4
5
6
7
8
impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) expose the Designating
Party to sanctions.
If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it
designated for protection do not qualify for protection that Designating Party must
9
10
11
promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the mistaken designation.
5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in this
12
Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise stipulated
13
or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection under this
14
Order must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or produced.
15
16
17
18
19
Designation in conformity with this Order requires:
(a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic
documents, but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial
proceedings), that the Producing Party affix the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” to each
20
21
page that contains protected material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a
22
page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the
23
protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins).
24
25
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
26
indicated which material it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and

________________________________________________________________________
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER FOR STANDARD LITIGATION
1
before the designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be
2
deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has identified the documents
3
it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine which documents,
4
5
or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order. Then, before producing the
6
specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the “CONFIDENTIAL” legend to
7
each page that contains Protected Material. If only a portion or portions of the material
8
on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the
9
10
protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins).
11
(b) for testimony given in deposition or in other pretrial or trial
12
proceedings, that the Designating Party identify on the record, before the close of the
13
deposition, hearing, or other proceeding, all protected testimony.
14
(c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and for
15
16
any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the
17
exterior of the container or containers in which the information or item is stored the
18
legend “CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a portion or portions of the information or item
19
warrant protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the
20
21
22
protected portion(s).
5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent
23
failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive the
24
Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such material. Upon
25
timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable efforts
26
to assure that the material is 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 confidentiality at any time. Unless a prompt challenge to a Designating
4
5
Party’s confidentiality designation is necessary to avoid foreseeable, substantial
6
unfairness, unnecessary economic burdens, or a significant disruption or delay of the
7
litigation, a Party does not waive its right to challenge a confidentiality designation by
8
electing not to mount a challenge promptly after the original designation is disclosed.
9
10
6.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute
11
resolution process by providing written notice of each designation it is challenging and
12
describing the basis for each challenge. To avoid ambiguity as to whether a challenge
13
has been made, the written notice must recite that the challenge to confidentiality is
14
being made in accordance with this specific paragraph of the Protective Order. The
15
16
parties shall attempt to resolve each challenge in good faith and must begin the process
17
by conferring directly (in voice to voice dialogue; other forms of communication are
18
not sufficient) within 14 days of the date of service of notice. In conferring, the
19
Challenging Party must explain the basis for its belief that the confidentiality
20
21
designation was not proper and must give the Designating Party an opportunity to
22
review the designated material, to reconsider the circumstances, and, if no change in
23
designation is offered, to explain the basis for the chosen designation. A Challenging
24
Party may proceed to the next stage of the challenge process only if it has engaged in
25
this meet and confer process first or establishes that the Designating Party is unwilling
26
to participate in the meet and confer process in a timely manner.

6.3 Judicial Intervention. If the Parties cannot resolve a challenge without
court intervention, the Designating Party shall file and serve a motion to retain
confidentiality under Civil Local Rule 7 (and in compliance with Civil Local Rule 79-
4
5
5, if applicable) within 21 days of the initial notice of challenge or within 14 days of
6
the parties agreeing that the meet and confer process will not resolve their dispute,
7
whichever is earlier. Each such motion must be accompanied by a competent
8
declaration affirming that the movant has complied with the meet and confer
9
10
requirements imposed in the preceding paragraph. Failure by the Designating Party to
11
make such a motion including the required declaration within 21 days (or 14 days, if
12
applicable) shall automatically waive the confidentiality designation for each
13
challenged designation. In addition, the Challenging Party may file a motion
14
challenging a confidentiality designation at any time if there is good cause for doing
15
16
so, including a challenge to the designation of a deposition transcript or any portions
17
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
19
confer requirements imposed by the preceding paragraph.
20
21
The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on the
22
Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper purpose
23
(e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may
24
expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating Party has waived
25
the confidentiality designation by failing to file a motion to retain confidentiality as
26
described above, all parties shall continue to afford the material in question the level of

ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
4
5
7.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is
6
disclosed or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this case
7
only for prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this litigation. Such Protected
8
Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the conditions
9
10
11
12
13
14
described in this Order. When the litigation has been terminated, a Receiving Party
must comply with the provisions of section 13 below (FINAL DISPOSITION).
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.
15
16
7.2 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless otherwise
17
ordered by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a Receiving
18
Party may disclose any information or item designated “CONFIDENTIAL” only to:
19
(a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this action, as well
20
21
as employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably necessary to
22
disclose the information for this litigation and who have signed the “Acknowledgment

(c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued

the subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this action
12
as “CONFIDENTIAL” before a determination by the court from which the subpoena
13
or order issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s permission. The
14
Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in that court
15

specific description of the information requested; and
(3) make the information requested available for inspection by the Non-

Party.
(c) If the Non-Party fails to object or seek a protective order from this court
15
16
within 14 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving
17
Party may produce the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the
18
discovery request. If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving
19
Party shall not produce any information in its possession or control that is subject to
20

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

INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE

When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain
inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection,
12
13
the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil
14
Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify whatever procedure
15
may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for production without prior
16
privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) and (e), insofar as the
17
parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure of a communication or

19
information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work product protection, the
