STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER - CASE NO. 3:17-cv-00128-JST

1

1.

PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS
Disclosure and discovery activity in this action are likely to involve production of

2
3

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

4

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

5

the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the court to enter the following Stipulated Protective

6

Order. The parties acknowledge that this Order does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures

7

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

8

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

9

applicable legal principles. The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 12.3, below, that

10

this Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential information under seal;

11

Civil Local Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be followed and the standards that will be

12

applied when a party seeks permission from the court to file material under seal.

13

25

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

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER - CASE NO. 3:17-cv-00128-JST
3

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

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

6

information lawfully and under no obligation of confidentiality to the Designating Party. Any use of

7

Protected Material at trial shall be governed by a separate agreement or order.

8

4.

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

9
10

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

11

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

12

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

13

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

14

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

15

5.

16

DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
5.1

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

17

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

18

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

19

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

20

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

21

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

22

the ambit of this Order.

23

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

24

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

25

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

26

other parties) expose the Designating Party to sanctions.

27
28

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER - CASE NO. 3:17-cv-00128-JST
4

1

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

2

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

3

that it is withdrawing the mistaken designation.

4

5.2

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

5

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

6

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

7

designated before the material is disclosed or produced.

8
9

Designation in conformity with this Order requires:
(a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic documents, but

10

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

11

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

12

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

13

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

14

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

15

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

16

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

17

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

18

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

19

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

20

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

21

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

22

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

23

appropriate markings in the margins).

24

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

25

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

26

proceeding, all protected testimony; provided, however, that in the case of deposition testimony, the

27

Designating Party shall have fourteen (14) days following receipt of a deposition transcript to

28

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER - CASE NO. 3:17-cv-00128-JST
5

1

designate by page and line numbers the specific portions of a deposition transcript that shall be

2

deemed “CONFIDENTIAL” pursuant to this Order.
(c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and for any other

3
4

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

5

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

6

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

7

practicable, shall identify the protected portion(s).
5.3

8
9

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 treated in

12

accordance with the provisions of this Order.

13

6.

14

CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
6.1

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 burdens,

17

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

18

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

19

designation is disclosed.

20

6.2

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

21

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

22

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

23

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

24

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

25

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

26

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

27

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

28

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER - CASE NO. 3:17-cv-00128-JST
6

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

unwilling to participate in the meet and confer process in a timely manner.
6.3

6

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

7

intervention, the parties shall file a joint letter brief in accordance with Section F of this court’s

8

Standing Order for All Civil Cases within 21 days of the initial notice of challenge or within 14 days

9

of the Parties agreeing that the meet and confer process will not resolve their dispute, whichever is

10

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

11

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

12

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

13

Unless the Designating Party has waived the confidentiality designation, all parties shall continue to

14

afford the material in question the level of protection to which it is entitled under the Producing

15

Party’s designation until the court rules on the challenge.

16

7.

17

ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
7.1

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

18

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

19

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

20

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

21

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

22

DISPOSITION).

23
24
25

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

26

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

27

information or item designated “CONFIDENTIAL” only to:

28

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER - CASE NO. 3:17-cv-00128-JST
7

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

4
5

Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation;
(c) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is

6
7

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

8

to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);
(d) the court and its personnel;

9

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

10
11

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

12

signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);
(f) during their depositions, witnesses in the action to whom disclosure is reasonably

13
14

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

15

unless otherwise agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the court. Pages of transcribed

16

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

17

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

18

Stipulated Protective Order.
(g) the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a custodian or

19
20

other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information.

21

8.

PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN OTHER

22

LITIGATION

23

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

24

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

25

must:

26
27
28

(a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall include a
copy of the subpoena or court order;
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER - CASE NO. 3:17-cv-00128-JST
8

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

1
2

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

3

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

4
5

Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.
If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with the subpoena

6
7

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

8

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

9

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

10

expense of seeking protection in that court of its confidential material – and nothing in these

11

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

12

disobey a lawful directive from another court.

13

9.

14
15

A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE PRODUCED IN THIS
LITIGATION
(a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a Non-Party in this

16

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

17

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

18

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

19

protections.

20

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

21

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

22

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

23
24
25

(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

26

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

27

information requested; and

28

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER - CASE NO. 3:17-cv-00128-JST
9

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

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

6

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

7

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

8

seeking protection in this court of its Protected Material.

9

10.

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

10
11

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

12

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

13

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

14

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

15

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

16

Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A. Disclosure of Protected Material other than in

17

accordance with the terms of this Order may subject the violator to such sanctions and remedies as

18

the Court may deem appropriate.

19

11.

INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE PROTECTED

20

MATERIAL

21

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

22

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

23

are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(5)(B), Federal Rule of Evidence 502 and

24

pursuant to applicable rules and codes of ethics. This provision is not intended to modify whatever

25

procedure may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for production without prior

26

privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) and (e), insofar as the parties reach an

27

agreement on the effect of disclosure of a communication or information covered by the attorney-

28

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER - CASE NO. 3:17-cv-00128-JST
10

1

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

2

stipulated protective order submitted to the court.

3

12.

12.1

4
5

MISCELLANEOUS
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

6

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

7

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

8

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

9

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

10

this Protective Order.
12.3

11

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

12

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

13

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

14

Material must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5. Protected Material may only be filed under seal

15

pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the specific Protected Material at issue. Pursuant

16

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

17

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

18

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

19

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

20

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

21

13.

22

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

23

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

24

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

25

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

26

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

27

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