PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS

19

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

20

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

21

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

22

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

23

following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this Order does not

24

confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to discovery and that the

25

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

26

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

2

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

3

agreement or order.

4

4.

DURATION

5

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

6

by this Order shall remain in effect until a Designating Party agrees otherwise in writing or

7

a court order otherwise directs. Final disposition shall be deemed to be the later of

8

(1) dismissal of all claims and defenses in this action, with or without prejudice; and

9

(2) final judgment herein after the completion and exhaustion of all appeals, rehearings,

10

remands, trials, or reviews of this action, including the time limits for filing any motions or

11

applications for extension of time pursuant to applicable law.

12

5.

13

DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
5.1

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

14

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

15

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

16

appropriate standards. The Designating Party must designate for protection only those

17

parts of material, documents, items, or oral or written communications that qualify – so

18

that other portions of the material, documents, items, or communications for which

19

protection is not warranted are not swept unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order.

20

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

21

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

22

to unnecessarily encumber or retard the case development process or to impose

23

unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) expose the Designating Party to

24

sanctions.

25

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

26

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

27

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

5.2

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

2

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

3

ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection under this Order

4

must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or produced.

5

Designation in conformity with this Order requires:

6

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

7

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

8

Producing Party affix the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” to each page that contains protected

9

material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the

10

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

11

appropriate markings in the margins).

12

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

13

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

14

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

15

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

16

“CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has identified the documents it wants

17

copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine which documents, or portions

18

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

19

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

20

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

21

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

22

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

27

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

1

the container or containers in which the information or item is stored the legend

2

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

3

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

4

portion(s).

5

///
5.3

6

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

7

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

8

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

9

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

10

assure that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this Order.

11

6.

12

CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
6.1

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

13

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

14

confidentiality designation is necessary to avoid foreseeable, substantial unfairness,

15

unnecessary economic burdens, or a significant disruption or delay of the litigation, a Party

16

does not waive its right to challenge a confidentiality designation by electing not to mount

17

a challenge promptly after the original designation is disclosed.

18

6.2

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

19

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

20

basis for each challenge. To avoid ambiguity as to whether a challenge has been made, the

21

written notice must recite that the challenge to confidentiality is being made in accordance

22

with this specific paragraph of the Protective Order. The parties shall attempt to resolve

23

each challenge in good faith and must begin the process by conferring directly (in voice to

24

voice dialogue; other forms of communication are not sufficient) within 14 days of the date

25

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

26

that the 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 no

Case4:13-cv-05317-DMR Document18 Filed02/18/14 Page7 of 14

1

change in designation is offered, to explain the basis for the chosen designation. A

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

6.3

Judicial Intervention.

If the Parties cannot resolve a challenge following

6

compliance with Section 6.2, the parties shall resolve the dispute in accordance with

7

Section 10 of Magistrate Ryu’s Standing Order, which reads in relevant part:

13
14

16
17
18
19
20
21
22
23
24
25

If disagreements remain, the parties shall file a joint letter with
Magistrate Ryu no later than five business days after the meet and confer
session, unless otherwise directed by the court. Lead trial counsel for both
parties must sign the letter, which shall include an attestation that the
parties met and conferred in person or by telephone regarding all issues prior
to filing the letter. Going issue-by-issue, the joint letter shall describe each
unresolved issue, summarize each party’s position with appropriate legal
authority; and provide each party’s final proposed compromise before
moving to the next issue. The joint letter shall not exceed ten pages without
leave of court. Parties are expected to plan for and cooperate in preparing
the joint letter so that each side has adequate time to address the
arguments. In the rare instance that a joint letter is not possible, each side
may submit a letter not to exceed four pages, which shall include an
explanation of why a joint letter was not possible. The parties shall submit
one exhibit to the letter that only sets forth each disputed discovery request
in full, followed immediately by the objections and/or responses thereto. No
other information shall be included in any such exhibit. No other exhibits
shall be submitted without prior approval by the court. The court will
review the submission(s) and determine whether formal briefing or
proceedings are necessary. Discovery letter briefs must be e-filed under the
Civil Events category of Motions and Related Filings > Motions – General >
"Discovery Letter Brief".
11.
In the event that a discovery hearing is ordered, the court has found
that it is often efficient and beneficial for counsel to appear in person. This
provides the opportunity, where appropriate, to engage counsel in resolving
aspects of the discovery dispute while remaining available to rule on any
disputes that counsel are not able to resolve. For this reason, the court
expects counsel to appear in person. Permission for a party to attend by
telephone may be granted, in the court's discretion, upon written request
made at least one week in advance of the hearing if the court determines that
good cause exists to excuse personal attendance, and that personal
attendance is not needed in order to have an effective discovery hearing. The
facts establishing good cause must be set forth in the request.

26

Until the challenge to the confidentiality designation is resolved, all parties shall

27

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

ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
7.1

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

4

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

5

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

6

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

7

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

8

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

9

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

10

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

11

this Order.

12

7.2

Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless otherwise

13

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

14

may disclose any information or item designated “CONFIDENTIAL” only to:

15

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

16

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

17

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

18

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

19

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

20

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

PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN OTHER

12

LITIGATION

13

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

14

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

15

“CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must:

16
17

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

18

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

19

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

20

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

21

Stipulated Protective Order; and

22
23

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

24

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

25

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

26

“CONFIDENTIAL” before a determination by the court from which the subpoena or order

27

issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s permission. The Designating

Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in that court of its

2

confidential material – and nothing in these provisions should be construed as authorizing

3

or encouraging a Receiving Party in this action to disobey a lawful directive from another

4

court.

5

9.

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

6
7

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

8

Party in this action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information produced by

9

Non-Parties in connection with this litigation is protected by the remedies and relief

10

provided by this Order. Nothing in these provisions should be construed as prohibiting a

11

Non-Party from seeking additional protections.

12

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

13

a Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is subject to an

14

agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s confidential information,

15

then the Party shall:

16

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

17

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

18

Non-Party;

19

(2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated Protective

20

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

21

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

22
23

Party.

24

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

25

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

26

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

27

If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall not produce any

information in its possession or control that is subject to the confidentiality agreement with

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

3

the Non-Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in this court of its

4

Protected Material.

5

10.

UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

6

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

7

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

8

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

9

Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts to retrieve all

10

unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform the person or persons to whom

11

unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this Order, and (d) request such

12

person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” that is

13

attached hereto as Exhibit A.

14

11.

INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE PROTECTED

15

MATERIAL

16

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

17

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

18

the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This

19

provision is not intended to modify whatever procedure may be established in an e-

20

discovery order that provides for production without prior privilege review. Pursuant to

21

Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) and (e), insofar as the parties reach an agreement on the

22

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

23

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

24

stipulated protective order submitted to the court.

25

12.

26
27

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.

12.2

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on any ground to use in

5

evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective Order.
12.3

6

Filing Protected Material. Without written permission from the Designating

7

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

8

may not file in the public record in this action any Protected Material. A Party that seeks to

9

file under seal any Protected Material must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5. Protected

10

Material may only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of

11

the specific Protected Material at issue. Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5, a sealing order

12

will issue only upon a request establishing that the Protected Material at issue is

13

privileged, protectable as a trade secret, or otherwise entitled to protection under the law.

14

If a Receiving Party's request to file Protected Material under seal pursuant to Civil Local

15

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

16

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

17

13.

FINAL DISPOSITION

18

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

19

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

20

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

21

abstracts, compilations, summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of

22

the Protected Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the

23
