ORDER

I.

PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS

20

Disclosure and discovery activity in this action are likely to involve and have involved

21

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

22

disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may be warranted.

23

Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the court to enter the following Stipulated

24

Protective Order (the “Order”). The parties acknowledge that this Order does not confer blanket

25

protections on all disclosures or responses to discovery and that the protection it affords from public

26

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

27

treatment under FRCP Rule 25 and other applicable legal principles. The parties further acknowledge,

28

as set forth in Section 12.3, below, that this Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file

V.

DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL

4

5.1

5

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

6

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

7

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

8

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

9

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

10
11

Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection

unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order.
Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations that are shown to

12

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

13

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

14

other parties) expose the Designating Party to sanctions.

15

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

16

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

17

that it is withdrawing the mistaken designation.

18

5.2

19

Except as otherwise provided in this Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a)

Manner and Timing of Designations.

20

below), or as otherwise stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for

21

protection under this Order must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or produced.

22

However, this Order shall apply retroactively to material attached to previously-filed declarations

23

regardless of the lack of a confidential designation on such materials.

24

Designation in conformity with this Order requires:

25

(a)

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

26

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

27

affix the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” to each page that contains protected material. If only a portion
Party
or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Patty also must clearly

28

-4[PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER - Case No. 16-cv-04894-WHA
KYL4842-4210-0288.1

1

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

2

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

3

not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated which material it would

4

like copied and produced. During the inspection and before the designation, all of the material made

5

available for inspection shall be deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has

6

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

7

documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order. Then, before producing the

8

specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the “CONFIDENTIAL” legend to each page that

9

contains Protected Material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for

10

protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making

11
12

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

13

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

14

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

15

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

16

may qualify for protection, the Party or non-party that sponsors, offers, or gives the testimony may

17

invoke on the record (before the deposition or proceeding is concluded) a right to have up to 20 days

18

to identify the specific portions of the testimony as to which protection is sought. Only those portions

19

of the testimony that are appropriately designated for protection within the 20 days shall be covered by

20

the provisions of this Stipulated Protective Order.

21

Transcript pages containing Protected Material must be separately bound by the court reporter,

22

who must affix to the top of each such page the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” as instructed by the Party

23

or nonparty offering or sponsoring the witness or presenting the testimony.

24

(c)

for information produced in some form other than documentary and for any other

25

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

26

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

27

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

28

practicable, shall identify the protected portion(s).
-5[PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER - Case No. 16-cv-04894-WHA
KYL4842-4210-0288.1

1

5.3

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

2

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

3

to secure protection under this Order for such material. Upon timely correction of a designation, the

4

Receiving Party must make reasonable efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with

5

the provisions of this Order.

6

VI.

7

CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
6.1

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

8

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

9

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

10

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

11

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

12

designation is disclosed.

13

6.2

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

14

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

15

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

16

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

17

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

18

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

19

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

20

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

21

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

22

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

23

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

24

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

25

meet and confer process in a timely manner.

26

6.3

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

27

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

28

Local Rule 7 (and in compliance with Civil Local Rule 79-5 and General Order 62, if applicable)
-6[PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER - Case No. 16-cv-04894-WHA
KYL4842-4210-0288.1

1

within 21 days of the initial notice of challenge or within 14 days of the parties agreeing that the meet

2

and confer process will not resolve their dispute, whichever is earlier. Each such motion must be

3

accompanied by a competent declaration affirming that the movant has complied with the meet and

4

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

5

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

6

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

7

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

8

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

9

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

10

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

11

the preceding paragraph.

12

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

13

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

14

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

15

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

16

rules on the challenge.

17

VII.

18

ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
7.1

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

19

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

20

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

21

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

22

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

23

DISPOSITION).

24
25
26

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 by

27

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

28

information or item designated “CONFIDENTIAL” only to:
-7[PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER - Case No. 16-cv-04894-WHA
KYL4842-4210-0288.1

1

(a)

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

2

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

3

this litigation and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);

4

(b)

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

5

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

6

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

7

(c)

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

8

reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to

9

Be Bound” (Exhibit A);

10

(d)

the court and its personnel;

11

(e)

court reporters and their staff, professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, and

12

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

13

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

14

(f)

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

15

necessary and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A),

16

unless otherwise agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the court. If a witness refuses to sign

17

the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A), the Parties and any Designating

18

Non-parties shall meet and confer and the Designating party will not unreasonably withhold consent to

19

disclose in this situation. If the Parties and any Designating non-parties cannot reach agreement, then

20

a Challenging party may apply to the Court for an appropriate order. Pages of transcribed deposition

21

testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material must be separately bound by the

22

court reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone except as permitted under this Stipulated Protective

23

Order.

(g)

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

person who otherwise possessed or knew the information;

VIII. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED
PRODUCED IN OTHER LITIGATION
If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation that compels
-8[PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER - Case No. 16-cv-04894-WHA
KYL4842-4210-0288.1

1

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

2

must:

3
4

(a)

promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall include a

copy of the subpoena or court order;

5

(b)

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

6

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

7

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

8
9

(c)

cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued by the

Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.

10

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

11

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

12

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

13

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

14

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

15

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

16

from another court.

17

IX.

18

A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIALS OUGHT TO BE PRODUCED IN THIS
LITIGATION
(a)

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

19
action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information produced by Non-Parties in
20
connection with this litigation is protected by the remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing
21
in these provisions should be construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional
22
protections.
23
(b)

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

24
Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is subject to an agreement with the
25
Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s confidential information, then the Party shall:
26
(1)

promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-

27
Party that some or all of the information requested is subject to a
28
confidentiality agreement with a Non-Party;
-9[PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER - Case No. 16-cv-04894-WHA
KYL4842-4210-0288.1

1

(2)

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

2

Protective Order in this litigation, the relevant discovery

3

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

4

information requested; and,

5

(3)

6

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

7

(c)

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

8

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

9

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

10

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

11

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

12

court. 1 Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the burden and expense of

13

seeking protection in this court of its Protected Material.

14

X.

15

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

16

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

17

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

18

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

19

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

20

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

21

Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

22

XI.

23

INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE PROTECTED
MATERIAL
When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain inadvertently produced

24
material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection, the obligations of the Receiving Parties
25
are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to
26
27
28

1

The purpose of this provision is to alert the interested parties to the existence of confidentiality rights
of a Non-Party and to afford the Non-Party an opportunity to protect its confidentiality interests in this
court.
- 10 [PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER - Case No. 16-cv-04894-WHA
KYL4842-4210-0288.1

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

the stipulated protective order submitted to the court.

6

XII.

7

9

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.
12.2

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

10

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

11

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

12

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

13

this Protective Order.

14

12.3

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

15

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

16

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

17

Material must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5 and General Order 62. Protected Material may only

18

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

19

at issue. Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5 and General order 62, a sealing order will issue only upon

20

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

21

otherwise entitled to protection under the law. If a Receiving Party’s request to file Protected Material

22

under seal pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5(d) and General Order 62 is denied by the court, then the

23

Receiving Party may file the information in the public record pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5(e)

24

unless otherwise instructed by the court.

25

XIII. FINAL DISPOSITION.

26

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

27

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

28

used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts, compilations,
- 11 [PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER - Case No. 16-cv-04894-WHA
KYL4842-4210-0288.1

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

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

6

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

7

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

8

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

9

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

10

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

11

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

12

XIV. PRIVILEGED DOCUMENTS

13

Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(b), if information subject to a claim of attorney-

14

client privilege, attorney work product, or any other ground on which production of such information

15

should not be made to any party is nevertheless inadvertently produced to a party, such production

16

shall in no way prejudice or otherwise constitute a waiver of, or estoppel as to, any claim of privilege,

17

work product or other ground for withholding production to which the Producing Party would

18

otherwise be entitled. If a claim of inadvertent production is made with respect to information then in

19

the custody of another party, or the information appears on its face to have been inadvertently

20

produced, the Receiving Party shall within ten (10) business days return the information to the

21

claiming party or person and the Receiving Party shall not use such information for any purpose other

22

than in connection with a motion to compel (which shall be filed under seal). The party returning such
