PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS

15

Disclosure and discovery activity in this action are likely to involve production

16

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

17

public disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation

18

may be warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the court

19

to enter the following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this

20

Order does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to discovery

21

and that the protection it affords from public disclosure and use extends only to the

22

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

23

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

24

12.3, below, that this Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file

25

confidential information under seal; Civil Local Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures

26

that must be followed and the standards that will be applied when a party seeks

27

permission from the court to file material under seal.

DURATION

2

Even after final disposition of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations

3

imposed by this Order shall remain in effect until a Designating Party agrees

4

otherwise in writing or a court order otherwise directs. Final disposition shall be

5

deemed to be the later of (1) dismissal of all claims and defenses in this action, with or

6

without prejudice; and (2) final judgment herein after the completion and exhaustion

7

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

8

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

9

applicable law.

5.

DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
5.1

Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection.

12

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

13

Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that qualifies

14

under the appropriate standards. The Designating Party must designate for protection

15

only those parts of material, documents, items, or oral or written communications that

16

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

17

for which protection is not warranted are not swept unjustifiably within the ambit of

18

this Order.

19

Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations

20

that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper

21

purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber or retard the case development process or to

22

impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) expose the Designating

23

Party to sanctions.

24

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

25

designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must

26

promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the mistaken designation.

27
28

5.2

Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in

this Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise
3:17-cv-03502-JSC
18-cv-02664-JST

5

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection

2

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

3

produced.

4

Designation in conformity with this Order requires:
(a)

5

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

6

documents, but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial

7

proceedings), that the Producing Party affix the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” to each

8

page that contains protected material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a

9

page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the

10

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

11

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

12

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

13

indicated which material it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and

14

before the designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be

15

deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has identified the documents

16

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

17

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

18

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

19

to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a portion or portions of the

20

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

21

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

22

margins).

23

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

24

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

25

hearing, or other proceeding, all protected testimony.

26

(c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and for

27

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

28

exterior of the container or containers in which the information or item is stored the
3:17-cv-03502-JSC
18-cv-02664-JST

6

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

legend “CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a portion or portions of the information or item

2

warrant protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the

3

protected portion(s).
5.3

4

Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent

5

failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive the

6

Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such material.

7

Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable

8

efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this

9

Order.

10
11

6.

CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
6.1

Timing of Challenges.

Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a

12

designation of confidentiality at any time. Unless a prompt challenge to a Designating

13

Party’s confidentiality designation is necessary to avoid foreseeable, substantial

14

unfairness, unnecessary economic burdens, or a significant disruption or delay of the

15

litigation, a Party does not waive its right to challenge a confidentiality designation by

16

electing not to mount a challenge promptly after the original designation is disclosed.

17

6.2

Meet and Confer.

The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute

18

resolution process by providing written notice of each designation it is challenging

19

and describing the basis for each challenge. To avoid ambiguity as to whether a

20

challenge has been made, the written notice must recite that the challenge to

21

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

22

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

23

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

24

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

25

conferring, the Challenging Party must explain the basis for its belief that the

26

confidentiality designation was not proper and must give the Designating Party an

27

opportunity to review the designated material, to reconsider the circumstances, and, if

28

no change in designation is offered, to explain the basis for the chosen designation. A
3:17-cv-03502-JSC
18-cv-02664-JST

7

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

Judicial Intervention. If the Parties cannot resolve a challenge without

5

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

6

confidentiality under Civil Local Rule 7 (and in compliance with Civil Local Rule 79-

7

5, if applicable) within 21 days of the initial notice of challenge or within 14 days of

8

the parties agreeing that the meet and confer process will not resolve their dispute,

9

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

10

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

11

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

12

make such a motion including the required declaration within 21 days (or 14 days, if

13

applicable) shall automatically waive the confidentiality designation for each

14

challenged designation. In addition, the Challenging Party may file a motion

15

challenging a confidentiality designation at any time if there is good cause for doing

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

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

21

Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper purpose

22

(e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may

23

expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating Party has waived

24

the confidentiality designation by failing to file a motion to retain confidentiality as

25

described above, all parties shall continue to afford the material in question the level

26

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

27

court rules on the challenge.

ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

3:17-cv-03502-JSC
18-cv-02664-JST

8

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

7.1

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

2

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

3

only for prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this litigation. Such Protected

4

Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the conditions

5

described in this Order. When the litigation has been terminated, a Receiving Party

6

must comply with the provisions of section 13 below (FINAL DISPOSITION).

7

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

8

location and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons

9

authorized under this Order.

10

7.2

Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless

11

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

12

Receiving Party may disclose any information or item designated “CONFIDENTIAL”

13

only to:

14

(a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this action, as well

15

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

16

disclose the information for this litigation and who have signed the “Acknowledgment

17

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

18

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

19

Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and

20

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

21

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

22

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

23

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

(d) the court and its personnel;

25

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

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

2

reasonably necessary and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to

3

Be Bound” (Exhibit A), unless otherwise agreed by the Designating Party or ordered

4

by the court. Pages of transcribed deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that

5

reveal Protected Material must be separately bound by the court reporter and may not

6

be disclosed to anyone except as permitted under this Stipulated Protective Order.
(g) the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a

PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED

10

IN OTHER LITIGATION

11

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

12

that compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this action as

13

“CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must:

14
15

(a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall
include a copy of the subpoena or court order;

16

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

17

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

18

order is subject to this Protective Order. Such notification shall include a copy of this

19

Stipulated Protective Order; and

20
21

(c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued
by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.

22

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

23

the subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this

24

action as “CONFIDENTIAL” before a determination by the court from which the

25

subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s

26

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

27

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

28

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

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

3
4

(a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a

5

Non-Party in this action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information

6

produced by Non-Parties in connection with this litigation is protected by the

7

remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in these provisions should be

8

construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional protections.

9

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

10

produce a Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is

11

subject to an agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s

12

confidential information, then the Party shall:

13

(1) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party

14

that some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality agreement

15

with a Non-Party;
(2)

16

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

17

Protective Order in this litigation, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably

18

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

19
20

Party.

21

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

22

within 14 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving

23

Party may produce the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the

24

discovery request. If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving

25

Party shall not produce any information in its possession or control that is subject to

26

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

27

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

28

of seeking protection in this court of its Protected Material.

UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

2

If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed

3

Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this

4

Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in

5

writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts

6

to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform the person or

7

persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this Order,

8

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

9

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

10

11.

INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE

11

PROTECTED

12

When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain

13

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

14

the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil

15

Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify whatever procedure

16

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

17

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

18

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

20

parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated protective order submitted to

21

the court.

MATERIAL

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.

25

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

26

Protective Order no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to

27

disclosing or producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in this

28

Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on any

12

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective Order.

2

12.3 Filing Protected Material. Without written permission from the

3

Designating Party or a court order secured after appropriate notice to all interested

4

persons, a Party may not file in the public record in this action any Protected Material.

5

A Party that seeks to file under seal any Protected Material must comply with Civil

6

Local Rule 79-5. Protected Material may only be filed under seal pursuant to a court

7

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

8

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

9

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

10

entitled to protection under the law. If a Receiving Party's request to file Protected

11

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

12

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

13

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

14

13.

FINAL DISPOSITION

15

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

16

4, each Receiving Party must return all Protected Material to the Producing Party or

17

destroy such material. As used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes

18

all copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries, and any other format reproducing or

19

capturing any of the Protected Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or

20

destroyed, the Receiving Party must submit a written certification to the Producing

21

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

22

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

23

that was returned or destroyed and (2) affirms that the Receiving Party has not

24

retained any copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other format

25

reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this

26

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

27

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

28

deposition and trial exhibits, expert reports, attorney work product, and consultant and
