1.

PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS

2

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

3

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

4

any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may be warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby

5

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

6

acknowledge that this Order does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to

7

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

8

information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment under the applicable legal principles. The

9

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

10

does not entitle them to file confidential information under seal; Civil Local Rule 79-5 and General

11

Order 62 set forth the procedures that must be followed and the standards that will be applied when a

12

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

SCOPE

23

The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only Protected Material (as

24

defined above), but also (1) any information copied or extracted from Protected Material; (2) all copies,

25

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

26

presentations by Parties or their Counsel that might reveal Protected Material. However, the protections

27

conferred by this Stipulation and Order do not cover the following information: (a) any information that

28

is in the public domain at the time of disclosure to a Receiving Party or becomes part of the public
3

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
{01163248.DOC}

1

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

this Order, including becoming part of the public record through trial or otherwise; and (b) any

3

information known to the Receiving Party prior to the disclosure or obtained by the Receiving Party

4

after the disclosure from a source who obtained the information lawfully and under no obligation of

5

6

separate agreement or order.

7

4.

DURATION

8

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

9

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

10

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

11

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

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

14

5.

DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL

15

5.1

16

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

17

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

18

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

19

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

20

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

21

within the ambit of this Order.

Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection.

22

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

23

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

24

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

25

parties) expose the Designating Party to sanctions.

26

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

27

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

28

that it is withdrawing the mistaken designation.
4

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
{01163248.DOC}

1

5.2

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

2

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

3

Discovery Material that qualifies for protection under this Order must be clearly so designated before

4

the material is disclosed or produced.

5

Designation in conformity with this Order requires:

6
7

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

8

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

9

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

10

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

11

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

12

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

13

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

14

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

15

material made available for inspection shall be deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the

16

inspecting Party has identified the documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party

17

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

18

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

19

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

20

portions of the 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 margins).

22
23

(b)

24

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

25

proceeding, all protected testimony.

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

26
27

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

28

items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the exterior of the container or
5

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
{01163248.DOC}

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

5.3

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

5

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

6

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

7

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

8

provisions of this Order.

9

6.

10

CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
6.1

Timing of Challenges.

Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a designation of

11

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

12

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

13

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

14

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

15

is disclosed.

16

6.2

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

17

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

18

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

19

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

20

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

21

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

22

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

23

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

24

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

25

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

26

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

27

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

28

meet and confer process in a timely manner.
6

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
{01163248.DOC}

1

6.3

2

Disputes over designation or disclosure of confidential information will be treated as discovery

3

dispute and must comply with paragraph 8 of the Honorable Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers’s

4

Standing Order in Civil Cases regarding discovery disputes.

5

Judicial Intervention.

Paragraph 8 provides:

6
7

(a) Except as specifically set forth below, no motions regarding discovery disputes may be filed

8

without prior leave of Court. If a dispute arises during a deposition and involves a persistent

9

obstruction of the deposition or a refusal to answer a material question on the basis of any

10

ground other than privilege or the work product doctrine, counsel may arrange a telephonic

11

conference with the Court through contact with the Courtroom Deputy, Frances Stone, at (510)

12

637-3540.

13

deposition.

Any such conference shall be attended by the court reporter recording the

14
15

(b) All other requests for discovery relief must be summarized jointly by the parties in one joint

16

letter brief no longer than four pages. In the joint letter brief, counsel must attest that, prior to

17

filing the request for relief, counsel met and conferred in person, and then concisely summarize

18

all remaining issues that counsel were unable to resolve. The parties may not file multiple joint

19

letter briefs. The joint letter brief may cite to limited and specific legal authority only for

20

resolution of dispositive issues. The joint letter brief may not be accompanied by declarations;

21

however any specific excerpt of disputed discovery material may be attached.

22
23

The Court will then advise the parties if additional briefing, a telephonic conference, or a

24

personal appearance will be necessary. Discovery letter briefs must be e-filed under the Civil

25

Events category of Motions and Related Filings > Motions - General > “Discovery Letter

26

Brief.”

27
28
7

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
{01163248.DOC}

1

(c) This provision applies only to cases in which discovery is supervised by this Court rather

2

than the magistrate judge. The Court, at its discretion, may elect to transfer discovery matters to a

3

magistrate judge or a special master.

4

7.

5

ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
7.1

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

6

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

7

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

8

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

9

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

10
11
12
13

DISPOSITION).
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

14

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

15

information or item designated “CONFIDENTIAL” only to:

16

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

17

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

18

this litigation and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” that is

19

attached hereto as Exhibit A;

20
21

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

22

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

23

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

24
25

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

26

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

{01163248.DOC}

1

(d) the court and its personnel;

4

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

5

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

6
7

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

8

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

9

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

10

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

11

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

12

Stipulated Protective Order.

13
14

(g) the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a custodian or other

15

person who otherwise possessed or knew the information.

8.

PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN OTHER

17

LITIGATION

18

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

19

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

20

must:

21

(a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall include a copy of

22

the subpoena or court order;

23
24

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

25

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

26

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

27
28
9

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
{01163248.DOC}

1

(c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued by the Designating

2

Party whose Protected Material may be affected.

3
4

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

5

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

6

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

7

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

8

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

9

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

10

from another court.

11

9.

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

12

LITIGATION

13

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

14

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

15

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

16

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

17

additional protections.

18
19

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

20

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

21

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

22

(1) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party that some or all

23

of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality agreement with a Non-Party;

24
25

(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

27

the information requested; and

28
10

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
{01163248.DOC}

1

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

2
3

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

4

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

5

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

6

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

7

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

8

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

9

burden and expense of seeking protection in this court of its Protected Material.

10

10.

UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

11

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

12

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

13

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

14

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

15

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

16

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

17

Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

18

11.

INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE PROTECTED

19

MATERIAL

20

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

21

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

22

are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to

23

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

24

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

25

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

26

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

27

the stipulated protective order submitted to the court.

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
{01163248.DOC}

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.

4

12.2

Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this Protective Order no

5

Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to disclosing or producing any information or

6

item on any ground not addressed in this Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any

7

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

8

12.3

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

9

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

10

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

11

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

12

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

13

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

14

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

15

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

16

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

17

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

18

otherwise instructed by the court.

19

13.

FINAL DISPOSITION

20

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

21

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

22

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

23

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

24

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

25

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

26

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

27

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

28

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