Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection.

12
specific material that qualifies under the appropriate standards. The Designating Party
13
must designate for protection only those parts of material, Documents, items, or oral or
14

15
items, or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept unjustifiably
16
within the ambit of this Discovery Order.
17
b.
Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited.
18
Designations that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an
19
improper purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber or retard the case development
20
process or to impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose
21
the Designating Party to sanctions.
c.
22
If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items
23
that it designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must
24
promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the mistaken designation.
25
26
2.
Designation of Documents.
a.
A Producing Party may designate non-publicly disclosed Documents
27
as “Confidential” that the Producing Party reasonably and in good faith believes contain
28
or refer to Confidential Information.

receipt of the Document or within thirty (30) days of the entry of this Discovery Order,

whichever is later. All Parties receiving written notice of such designation shall affix the
14
appropriate Legend to all pages of any copy or copies of such Document in their

which case the stenographer shall affix the appropriate Legend to the cover page and all
20
designated pages of the transcript and all copies thereof); or (ii) informing counsel for all
21
other Parties of such designation in writing within seven (7) days after receipt of the final

shall affix the appropriate Legend to the cover page and all designated pages and

other materials which contain, reflect or disclose Confidential Information, except for use
2
in prosecuting or defending the Action, and each such copy, abstract, extract, analysis,
3
summary, or other material which contains, reflects, or discloses Confidential Information
4
is to be treated in accordance with the provisions of this Discovery Order. All copies of
5
material marked “Confidential” or “Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only” in accordance
6
with Paragraph B.2 of this Order shall again be marked with the respective designation if
7
the original Legend was not reproduced in the duplicating process. In the event that
8
copies are made in accordance with the foregoing, all such copies shall constitute, and
9
be treated as, Protected Material as provided in this Discovery Order.
Any person
10
making, or causing to be made, copies of any Protected Material, shall make certain that
11
each copy bears the appropriate Legend pursuant to the requirements of this Discovery
12
Order.
13
6.
Agreement to Maintain Confidentiality. Unless and until otherwise ordered
14
by the Court, or otherwise agreed by the Parties, all Protected Material shall be treated

17
18
7.
Objections to Designation.
a.
Following the receipt of Documents marked “Confidential” or
19
“Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only,” any Party may object to the designation of such
20
Document and seek a modification of such designation by providing written notice of
21
each designation it is challenging and describing the basis for the challenge to the
22
Designating Party as set forth in Sections 7(b) and (c) herein.
23
b.
The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute resolution process by
24
providing written notice of each designation it is challenging and describing the basis for
25
each challenge. To avoid ambiguity as to whether a challenge has been made, the
26
written notice must recite that the challenge to confidentiality is being made in
27
accordance with this specific paragraph of the Discovery Order, the Parties shall attempt
28
to resolve each challenge in good faith and must begin the process by conferring directly

STIP AND [PROP] ORDER CONCERNING
DISCOVERY AND CONFIDENTIALITY
1
(in voice to voice dialogue; other forms of communication are not sufficient) within 14
2
days of the date of service of notice. In conferring, the Challenging Party must explain
3
the basis for its belief that the confidentiality designation was not proper and must give
4
the Designating Party an opportunity to review the designated material, to reconsider the
5
circumstances, and, if no change in designation is offered, to explain the basis for the
6
chosen designation. A Challenging Party may proceed to the next stage of the challenge
7
process only if it has engaged in this meet and confer process first or establishes that the
8
Designating Party is unwilling to participate in the meet and confer process in a timely
9
manner.

c.
If the objecting Party and the Designating Party are unable to resolve
11
the objection, the objecting Party may move the Court for an order with respect to the
12
disputed information.
13
declaration affirming that the movant has complied with the meet and confer
14
requirements imposed in the preceding paragraph. The objecting Party’s obligation to
15
seek de-designation of Documents does not affect the Designating Party’s burden to
16
show that the Document is correctly designated as “Confidential” or “Confidential –
17
Attorneys’ Eyes Only.” In the event that any Party files a motion to release a Document
18
from a designation as “Confidential” or “Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only,” the motion
19

24
Discovery Order shall be without prejudice to the right of the Parties to the Action to
25
present a motion to the Court for a separate protective order as to any particular
26
Document or information, including restrictions differing from those specified in this
27
Discovery Order. In addition, this Discovery Order shall not be deemed to prejudice the
28
Parties in any way in any future application for modification of this Discovery Order.

14
any other order by a federal court applicable to the Protected Material by signing the

Inadvertent Production or Disclosure of Protected Material. The inadvertent
26

25
protected by the remedies and relief provided by this Discovery Order. Nothing in these
26
provisions shall be construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional
27
protections.
28
b.
In the event a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to

STIP AND [PROP] ORDER CONCERNING
DISCOVERY AND CONFIDENTIALITY
1
produce a Non-Party’s Confidential Information in its possession, and the Party is subject
2
to an agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s Protected Material,
3
then the Party shall:
(1)
4
promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-
5
Party that
some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality
6
agreement with a Non-Party;
7
(2)
promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Discovery
8
Order for this Action, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably specific

14
Receiving Party may produce the Non-Party’s Protected Material responsive to the
15
Discovery Request subject to appropriate designation as Confidential Information or
16
under this Discovery Order.
17
Receiving Party shall not produce any information in its possession or control that is
18
subject to the confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a determination by the
19
Court. Absent a court order to the contrary or an agreement between the Non-Party and
20
a Party, the Non-Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking the protection of its
21
Confidential Information.
22
14.

15.
Continuation of Protection After Disposition.
The termination of
3
proceedings in the Action or a final disposition of the Action shall not relieve any of the
4
Parties from the obligation of maintaining the confidentiality of all Protected Material
5
produced and designated pursuant to this Discovery Order, unless all of the Parties
6
agree otherwise. The Court shall retain jurisdiction to resolve any dispute concerning the
7
use of Protected Material disclosed hereunder.
8
disposition or termination of the Action, every Party shall certify in writing that the Party
9
has destroyed all Protected Material, except that counsel for any Party may keep an
10
archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition, and hearing transcripts,
11
legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert reports, attorney
12
work product, and consultant or expert work product, even if such materials contain
13
Protected Material. Any such archival copies that contain Protected Material shall remain
14
subject to this Discovery Order as set forth herein.
15
16.
Within sixty days (60) of the final
Inadvertent Production of Privileged or Protected Documents. Pursuant to
16
Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) and (e), disclosure in the course of discovery of any
17
Document or information (whether designated as Protected Material or not) shall not be
18
deemed to waive whatever privilege or immunity from discovery might otherwise attach to
19
the Document or information produced, including without limitation the attorney-client
20
privilege, the work product doctrine, the bank examination privilege, and/or common
21
interest or the joint defense privilege. If such information is inadvertently produced, such
22
production shall in no way prejudice or otherwise constitute a waiver of, or estoppel as to,
23
any claim of privilege or work-product protection for such information. If a Party has
24
inadvertently produced information subject to a claim of privilege or protection, upon
25
written request made by the Producing Party within ten (10) business days of discovery
26
of such inadvertent production, the information for which a claim of inadvertent
27
production is made, including all copies, shall be returned within seven (7) business days
28
of such request unless the receiving Party intends to challenge the Producing Party’s
Case No. 4:11-cv-05226-YGR (KAW)
STIP AND [PROP] ORDER CONCERNING
DISCOVERY AND CONFIDENTIALITY
1
assertion of privilege or protection. All copies of inadvertently produced Documents shall
2
be destroyed, and any Document or material information reflecting the contents of the
3
inadvertently produced information shall be expunged. If a Receiving Party objects to the
4
return of such information within the seven (7) business day period described above, the
5
Producing Party may move the Court for an order compelling the return of such
6
information. Pending the ruling, a Receiving Party may retain the inadvertently produced
7
Documents in a sealed envelope and shall not make any use of such information.
8
17.
No Waiver of Bank Examination Privilege. Defendants First Bank of
9
Delaware and First National Bank of Texas (the “Bank Defendants”) are or were banks
10
regulated by various state or federal bank regulatory agencies, including the Federal
11
Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”), the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency
12
of the United States Department of the Treasury (the “OCC”), the Board of Governors of
13
the Federal Reserve System and applicable Federal Reserve Banks (the “Federal
14
Reserve”), the United States Treasury, and/or the Delaware Office of the State Bank
15
Commissioner (the Delaware Department of Financial Institutions) (collectively, the “Bank
16
Regulatory Agencies”). Nothing in this Discovery Order shall be construed to require the
17
Bank Defendants to produce any materials, information, or Documents subject to the
18
Bank Examination Privilege, which is a privilege governed by federal or state law
19
applicable to the Bank Defendants and the Bank Regulatory Agencies, and that cannot
20
be waived by the Bank Defendants. In the event of any production, whether through
21
inadvertence, mistake, or otherwise, of any Document subject to the Bank Examination
22
Privilege, the receiving Party shall, upon discovery of such production, return such
23
Document(s) and all copies thereof without the necessity of notice, demand, or further
24
proceedings, provided however, that nothing contained herein shall prevent the
25
Producing Party from making a demand for return of such a Document, nor prohibit any
26
court from making an order for return of the Document.
27
28
18.
By stipulating to the entry of this Discovery Order, no Party waives any right
it otherwise would have to object to disclosing or producing any information or item on
Case No. 4:11-cv-05226-YGR (KAW)
STIP AND [PROP] ORDER CONCERNING
DISCOVERY AND CONFIDENTIALITY
1
any ground not addressed in this Discovery Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to
2
object on any ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Discovery
3
Order.

19.
This Discovery Order may be executed in counterparts with the same force
5
and effect as if executed in one complete document, and facsimile or scanned PDF
