PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS

2

Disclosure and discovery activity in this action are likely to involve

3

production of confidential, proprietary, or private information for which special

4

protection from public disclosure and from use for any purpose other than

5

prosecuting this litigation may be warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby

6

stipulate to and petition the court to enter the following Stipulated Protective Order.

7

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

8

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

9

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

10

to confidential treatment under the applicable legal principles. The parties further

11

acknowledge, as set forth in Section 12.3, below, that this Stipulated Protective

12

Order does not entitle them to file confidential information under seal; Civil Local

13

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

14

will be applied when a party seeks permission from the court to file material under

15

seal.

SCOPE

2

The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only

3

Protected Material (as defined above), but also (1) any information copied or

4

extracted from Protected Material; (2) all copies, excerpts, summaries, or

5

compilations of Protected Material; and (3) any testimony, conversations, or

6

presentations by Parties or their Counsel that might reveal Protected Material.

7

However, the protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order do not cover the

8

following information: (a) any information that is in the public domain at the time

9

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

10

disclosure to a Receiving Party as a result of publication not involving a violation

11

of this Order, including becoming part of the public record through trial or

12

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

13

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

14

who obtained the information lawfully and under no obligation of confidentiality to

15

the Designating Party. Any use of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by a

16

separate agreement or order. Nothing contained herein shall in any way limit any

17

Party’s ability to use any evidence (including Protected Material) in any way at the

18

trial of this case, subject to any procedures of the Court that are designed to ensure

19

that Protected Material is not disclosed or used in a manner that is inconsistent with

20

the purpose of this Order.

21

4.

22

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

23

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

24

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

25

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

26

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

27

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

28

4
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER FOR STANDARD
LITIGATION (MODIFIED): CASE NO. C 12-06455 KAW

1

including the time limits for filing any motions or applications for extension of time

2

pursuant to applicable law.

3

5.

4

DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
5.1

Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection.

5

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

6

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

7

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

8

protection only those parts of material, documents, items, or oral or written

9

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

10

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

11

unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order.

12

Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations

13

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

14

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

15

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

16

Designating Party to sanctions.

17

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

18

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

19

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

20

5.2

Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in

21

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

22

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

23

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

24

produced.

25
26

Designation in conformity with this Order requires:
(a)

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

27

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

28

proceedings), that the Producing Party affix the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” to each
5

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER FOR STANDARD
LITIGATION (MODIFIED): CASE NO. C 12-06455 KAW

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

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

6

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

7

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

8

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

9

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

10

which documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order.

11

Then, before producing the specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the

12

“CONFIDENTIAL” legend to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a

13

portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing

14

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

15

appropriate markings in the margins).
(b)

16

for testimony given in deposition or in other pretrial or trial

17

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

18

the deposition, hearing, or other proceeding, all protected testimony.
(c)

19

for information produced in some form other than documentary

20

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

21

on the exterior of the container or containers in which the information or item is

22

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

23

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

24

practicable, shall identify the protected portion(s).

25

5.3

Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent

26

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

27

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

28

material. Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make
6

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER FOR STANDARD
LITIGATION (MODIFIED): CASE NO. C 12-06455 KAW

1

reasonable efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the

2

provisions of this Order.

3

6.

4

CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
6.1

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

5

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

6

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

7

substantial unfairness, unnecessary economic burdens, or a significant disruption or

8

delay of the litigation, a Party does not waive its right to challenge a confidentiality

9

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

10
11

designation is disclosed.
6.2

Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute

12

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

13

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

14

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

15

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

16

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

17

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

18

forms of communication are not sufficient) within 10 days of the date of service of

19

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

20

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

21

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

23

designation. A Challenging Party may proceed to the next stage of the challenge

24

process only if it has engaged in this meet and confer process first or establishes

25

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

26

in a timely manner.

27
28

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
7

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER FOR STANDARD
LITIGATION (MODIFIED): CASE NO. C 12-06455 KAW

1

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

2

79-5, if applicable) within 21 days of the initial notice of challenge or within 14

3

days of the parties agreeing that the meet and confer process will not resolve their

4

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

5

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

6

confer requirements imposed in the preceding paragraph. Failure by the

7

Designating Party to make such a motion including the required declaration within

8

21 days (or 14 days, if applicable) shall automatically waive the confidentiality

9

designation for each challenged designation. In addition, the Challenging Party

10

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

11

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

12

transcript or any portions thereof. Any motion brought pursuant to this provision

13

must be accompanied by a competent declaration affirming that the movant has

14

complied with the meet and confer requirements imposed by the preceding

15

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

16
17

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

18

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

19

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

20

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

21

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

22

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

23

until the court rules on the challenge.

24

7.

25

ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
7.1

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

26

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

27

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

28

Protected Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the
8

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER FOR STANDARD
LITIGATION (MODIFIED): CASE NO. C 12-06455 KAW

1

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

2

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

3

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

4
5

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

6

authorized under this Order.
7.2

7

Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless

8

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

9

Receiving Party may disclose any information or item designated

10

“CONFIDENTIAL” only to:

11

(a)

the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this action,

12

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

13

necessary to disclose the information for this litigation and who have signed the

14

“Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit

15

A;

16

(b)

the officers, directors, and employees (including House

17

Counsel) of the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this

18

litigation and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be

19

Bound” (Exhibit A);

20

(c)

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

21

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

22

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

23

(d)

the court and its personnel;

24

(e)

court reporters and their staff, professional jury or trial

25

consultants, mock jurors, and Professional Vendors to whom disclosure is

26

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

27

and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);

28

9
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER FOR STANDARD
LITIGATION (MODIFIED): CASE NO. C 12-06455 KAW

(f)

1

during their depositions, witnesses in the action to whom

2

disclosure is reasonably necessary and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and

3

Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A), unless otherwise agreed by the Designating

4

Party or ordered by the court. Pages of transcribed deposition testimony or exhibits

5

to depositions that reveal Protected Material must be separately bound by the court

6

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

7

Stipulated Protective Order.

8

(g)

9
10

the author or recipient of a document containing the information

or a custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information.

PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED

11

IN OTHER LITIGATION

12

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

13

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

14

“CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must:

15
16
17

(a)

promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such

notification shall include a copy of the subpoena or court order;
(b)

promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or

18

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

19

subpoena or order is subject to this Protective Order. Such notification shall

20

include a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order; and

21
22
23

(c)

cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be

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

24

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

25

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

26

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

27

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

28

protection in that court of its confidential material – and nothing in these provisions
10

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER FOR STANDARD
LITIGATION (MODIFIED): CASE NO. C 12-06455 KAW

1

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

2

to disobey a lawful directive from another court.

3

9.

A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE

4

PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION

5

(a)

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

6

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

7

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

8

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

9

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

10

(b)

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

11

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

12

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

13

confidential information, then the Party shall:
(1)

14

promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the

15

Non-Party that some or all of the information requested is

16

subject to a confidentiality agreement with a Non-Party;
(2)

17

promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the

18

Stipulated Protective Order in this litigation, the relevant

19

discovery request(s), and a reasonably specific description

20

of the information requested; and
(3)

21

by the Non-Party.

22
23

make the information requested available for inspection

(c)

If the Non-Party fails to object or seek a protective order from this

24

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

25

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

26

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

27

Receiving Party shall not produce any information in its possession or control that

28

is subject to the confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a
11

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER FOR STANDARD
LITIGATION (MODIFIED): CASE NO. C 12-06455 KAW

1

determination by the court. Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party

2

shall bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in this court of its Protected

3

Material.

4

10.

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

5
6

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

7

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

8

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

9

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

10

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

11

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

12

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

13

11.

INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE

14

PROTECTED MATERIAL

15

When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain

16

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

17

protection, the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal

18

Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify

19

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

20

production without prior privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence

21

502(d) and (e), insofar as the parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure

22

of a communication or information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work

23

product protection, the parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated

24

protective order submitted to the court.

25

12.

26
27
28

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
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER FOR STANDARD
LITIGATION (MODIFIED): CASE NO. C 12-06455 KAW

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

1
2

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

3

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

4

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

5

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

6

Order.

7

12.3 Filing Protected Material. Without written permission from the

8

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

9

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

10

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

11

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

12

pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the specific Protected Material

13

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

14

request establishing that the Protected Material at issue is privileged, protectable as

15

a trade secret, or otherwise entitled to protection under the law. If a Receiving

16

Party's request to file Protected Material under seal pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-

17

5(d) is denied by the court, then the Receiving Party may file the information the

18

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

19

the court.

20

12.4 Advance Production of Protected Material. The Parties agree that to

21

expedite discovery herein, they may produce Protected Material in advance of the

22

Court’s approval of this Protective Order. With respect to any Protected Material

23

produced in advance of the Court’s approval of this Protective Order, the parties

24

shall be bound by the terms of this Stipulated Protective Order as if it had been

25

approved by the Court prior to such production.

26

13.

FINAL DISPOSITION

27

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

28

paragraph 4, each Receiving Party must return all Protected Material to the
13

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER FOR STANDARD
LITIGATION (MODIFIED): CASE NO. C 12-06455 KAW

1

Producing Party or destroy such material. As used in this subdivision, “all

2

Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries, and any

3

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

4

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

5

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

6

the Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that (1) identifies (by category, where

7

appropriate) all the Protected Material that was returned or destroyed and (2)

8

affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any copies, abstracts,

9

compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or capturing any of the

10

Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are entitled to retain

11

an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition, and hearing

12

transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert

13

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

14

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

15
