STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER FOR STANDARD LITIGATION
1.
PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS
Disclosure and discovery activity in this action are likely to involve production of
confidential, proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public disclosure
and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may be warranted. Accordingly,
the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the court to enter the following Stipulated Protective
Order. The parties acknowledge that this Order does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures
or responses to discovery and that the protection it affords from public disclosure and use extends
only to the limited information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment under the
applicable legal principles. The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 12.3, below, that
this Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential information under seal;
Civil Local Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be followed and the standards that will be
applied when a party seeks permission from the court to file material under seal.

24
copies, excerpts, summaries, or compilations of Protected Material; and (3) any testimony,
25
conversations, or presentations by Parties or their Counsel that might reveal Protected Material.

27
information: (a) any information that is in the public domain at the time of disclosure to a Receiving
28
4844-6652-3172.2
3
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER FOR STANDARD LITIGATION

information lawfully and under no obligation of confidentiality to the Designating Party. Any use of
Protected Material at trial shall be governed by a separate agreement or order.
4.
DURATION
Even after final disposition of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations imposed by this
Order shall remain in effect until a Designating Party agrees otherwise in writing or a court order
otherwise directs. Final disposition shall be deemed to be the later of (1) dismissal of all claims and
defenses in this action, with or without prejudice; and (2) final judgment herein after the completion
and exhaustion of all appeals, rehearings, remands, trials, or reviews of this action, including the
time limits for filing any motions or applications for extension of time pursuant to applicable law.
5.
DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
5.1
Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection. Each Party or
Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under this Order must take care to
limit any such designation to specific material that qualifies under the appropriate standards. The
Designating Party must designate for protection only those parts of material, documents, items, or
oral or written communications that qualify — so that other portions of the material, documents,
items, or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept unjustifiably within
the ambit of this Order.
Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations that are shown
to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily
encumber or retard the case development process or to impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on
other parties) expose the Designating Party to sanctions.
If it comes to a Designating Party's attention that information or items that it designated for
protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must promptly notify all other Parties
4844-6652-3172.2
4
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER FOR STANDARD LITIGATION
15-CV-00224-YGR
that it is withdrawing the mistaken designation.
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 stipulated or ordered,
Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection under this Order must be clearly so
designated before the material is disclosed or produced.
Designation in conformity with this Order requires:
(a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic documents, but
excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that the Producing Party
affix the legend "CONFIDENTIAL" to each page that contains protected material. If only a portion
or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly
identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins).
A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents or materials available for inspection need not
designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated which material it would
like copied and produced. During the inspection and before the designation, all of the material made
available for inspection shall be deemed "CONFIDENTIAL." After the inspecting Party has
identified the documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine which
documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order. Then, before producing the
specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the "CONFIDENTIAL" legend to each page
that contains Protected Material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for
protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making
appropriate markings in the margins).
(b) for testimony given in deposition or in other pretrial or trial proceedings, that the
Designating Party identify on the record, before the close of the deposition, hearing, or other
proceeding, all protected testimony.
(c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and for any other
tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the exterior of the container or
containers in which the information or item is stored the legend "CONFIDENTIAL." If only a
4844-6652-3172.2
5
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER FOR STANDARD LITIGATION
15-CV-00224-YGR
1
portion or portions of the information or item warrant protection, the Producing Party, to the extent
2
practicable, shall identify the protected portion(s).
3
5.3
Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent failure to
4
designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive the Designating Party's
5
right to secure protection under this Order for such material. Upon timely correction of a
6
designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable efforts to assure that the material is treated in
7
accordance with the provisions of this Order.
8
6.
9
CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
6.1
Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a designation of
10
confidentiality at any time. Unless a prompt challenge to a Designating Party's confidentiality
11
designation is necessary to avoid foreseeable, substantial unfairness, unnecessary economic burdens,
12
or a significant disruption or delay of the litigation, a Party does not waive its right to challenge a
13
confidentiality designation by electing not to mount a challenge promptly after the original
14
designation is disclosed.
15
6.2
Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute resolution process
16
by providing written notice of each designation it is challenging and describing the basis for each
17
challenge. To avoid ambiguity as to whether a challenge has been made, the written notice must
18
recite that the challenge to confidentiality is being made in accordance with this specific paragraph
19
of the Protective Order. The parties shall attempt to resolve each challenge in good faith and must
20
begin the process by conferring directly (in voice to voice dialogue; other forms of communication
21
are not sufficient) within 14 days of the date of service of notice. In conferring, the Challenging
22
Party must explain the basis for its belief that the confidentiality designation was not proper and
23
must give the Designating Party an opportunity to review the designated material, to reconsider the
24
circumstances, and, if no change in designation is offered, to explain the basis for the chosen
25
designation. A Challenging Party may proceed to the next stage of the challenge process only if it
26
has engaged in this meet and confer process first or establishes that the Designating Party is
27
unwilling to participate in the meet and confer process in a timely manner.
28
4844-6652-3172.2
6
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER FOR STANDARD LITIGATION
15-CV-00224-YGR
6.3
Judicial Intervention. If the Parties cannot resolve a challenge without court
intervention, the parties shall follow the Court's Standing Order in Civil Cases regarding Discovery
and Discovery Motions. The parties may file a joint letter brief regarding retaining confidentiality
within 21 days of the initial notice of challenge or within 14 days of the parties agreeing that the
meet and confer process will not resolve their dispute, whichever is earlier. Failure by a Designating
Party to file such discovery dispute letter within the applicable 21 or 14 day period (set forth above)
with the Court shall automatically waive the confidentiality designation for each challenged
designation. If, after submitting a joint letter brief, the Court allows that a motion may be filed, any
such motion must be accompanied by a competent declaration affirming that the movant has
complied with the meet and confer requirements imposed in the preceding paragraph. The Court, in
its discretion, may elect to transfer the discovery matter to a Magistrate Judge.
In addition, the parties may file a joint letter brief regarding a challenge to a confidentiality
designation at any time if there is good cause for doing so, including a challenge to the designation
of a deposition transcript or any portions thereof. If, after submitting a joint letter brief, the Court
allows that a motion may be filed, any motion brought pursuant to this provision must be
accompanied by a competent declaration affirming that the movant has complied with the meet and
confer requirements imposed by the preceding paragraph. The Court, in its discretion, may elect to
refer the discovery matter to a Magistrate Judge.
The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on the Designating
Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper purpose (e.g., to harass or impose
unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Challenging Party to sanctions.
Unless the Designating Party has waived the confidentiality designation by failing to file a letter
brief to retain confidentiality as described above, all parties shall continue to afford the material in
question the level of protection to which it is entitled under the Producing Party's designation until
the court rules on the challenge.
7.
ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
7.1
4844-6652-3172.2
Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is disclosed or
7
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER FOR STANDARD LITIGATION
15-CV-00224-YGR
produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this case only for prosecuting,
defending, or attempting to settle this litigation. Such Protected Material may be disclosed only to
the categories of persons and under the conditions described in this Order. When the litigation has
been terminated, a Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of section 13 below (FINAL
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.
Disclosure of "CONFIDENTIAL" Information or Items. Unless otherwise ordered by
7.2
the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a Receiving Party may disclose any
information or item designated "CONFIDENTIAL" only to:
(a) the Receiving Party's Outside Counsel of Record in this action, as well as employees
of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably necessary to disclose the information for
this litigation and who have signed the "Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound" that is
attached hereto as Exhibit A;
(b) the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel) of the Receiving
Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the
"Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound" (Exhibit A);
(c) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is
reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the "Acknowledgment and Agreement
to Be Bound" (Exhibit A);
(d) the court and its personnel;
(e) court reporters and their staff, professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, and
Professional Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have
signed the "Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound" (Exhibit A);
(f) during their depositions, witnesses in the action to whom disclosure is reasonably
necessary and who have signed the "Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound" (Exhibit A),
unless otherwise agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the court. Pages of transcribed

PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN OTHER
7
LITIGATION
8
If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation that compels
9
disclosure of any information or items designated in this action as "CONFIDENTIAL," that Party
10
must:
11
12
(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 order to issue in the
13
14
other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the subpoena or order is subject to this
15
Protective Order. Such notification shall include a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order; and
16
17
(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 the subpoena
18
19
or court order shall not produce any information designated in this action as "CONFIDENTIAL"
20
before a determination by the court from which the subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has
21
obtained the Designating Party's permission. The Designating Party shall bear the burden and
22
expense of seeking protection in that court of its confidential material — and nothing in these
23
provisions should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this action to
24
disobey a lawful directive from another court.

26
27
A NON-PARTY'S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE PRODUCED IN THIS
LITIGATION
(a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a Non-Party in this
28
4844-6652-3172.2
9
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER FOR STANDARD LITIGATION
15-CV-00224-YGR
1
action and designated as "CONFIDENTIAL." Such information produced by Non-Parties in
2
connection with this litigation is protected by the remedies and relief provided by this Order.
3
Nothing in these provisions should be construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional
4
protections.
5
(b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to produce a Non-
6
Party's confidential information in its possession, and the Party is subject to an agreement with the
7
Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party's confidential information, then the Party shall:
8
9
(1) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party that some or
all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality agreement with a Non-Party;
10
(2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated Protective Order in
11
this litigation, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably specific description of the
12
information requested; and
13
(3) make the information requested available for inspection by the Non-Party.
14
(c) If the Non-Party fails to object or seek a protective order from this court within 14
15
days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party may produce the
16
Non-Party's confidential information responsive to the discovery request. If the Non-Party timely
17
seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall not produce any information in its possession or
18
control that is subject to the confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a determination by
19
the court. Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the burden and expense of
20
seeking protection in this court of its Protected Material.
21
10.
22
UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed Protected
23
Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this Stipulated Protective Order,
24
the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized
25
disclosures, (b) use its best efforts to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c)
26
inform the person or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this
27
Order, and (d) request such person or persons to execute the "Acknowledgment and Agreement to

2
11.
INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE PROTECTED
3
MATERIAL
4
When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain inadvertently produced
5
material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection, the obligations of the Receiving Parties
6
are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to
7
modify whatever procedure may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for production
8
without prior privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) and (e), insofar as the
9
parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure of a communication or information covered by
10
the attorney-client privilege or work product protection, the parties may incorporate their agreement
11
in the stipulated protective order submitted to the court.
12
12.
13
14
15
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 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this Protective Order
16
no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to disclosing or producing any
17
information or item on any ground not addressed in this Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no
18
Party waives any right to object on any ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by
19
this Protective Order.
20
12.3 Filing Protected Material. Without written permission from the Designating Party or a
21
court order secured after appropriate notice to all interested persons, a Party may not file in the
22
public record in this action any Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any Protected
23
Material must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5. Protected Material may only be filed under seal
24
pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the specific Protected Material at issue. Pursuant
25
to Civil Local Rule 79-5, a sealing order will issue only upon a request establishing that the
26
Protected Material at issue is privileged, protectable as a trade secret, or otherwise entitled to
27
protection under the law. If a Receiving Party's request to file Protected Material under seal pursuant
28
4844-6652-3172.2
11
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER FOR STANDARD LITIGATION
15-CV-00224-YGR
to Civil Local Rule 79-5(d) is denied by the court, then the Receiving Party may file the information
in the public record pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5(e) unless otherwise instructed by the court.
13.
FINAL DISPOSITION
Within 60 days after the final disposition of this action, as defined in paragraph 4, each
Receiving Party must return all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such material.
As used in this subdivision, "all Protected Material" includes all copies, abstracts, compilations,
summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material. Whether
the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the Receiving Party must submit a written
certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the same person or entity, to the Designating Party)
by the 60 day deadline that (1) identifies (by category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material
that was returned or destroyed and (2) affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any copies,
abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected
Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are entitled to retain an archival copy of all
pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition, and hearing transcripts, legal memoranda,
correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert reports, attorney work product, and consultant
and expert work product, even if such materials contain Protected Material. Any such archival copies
that contain or constitute Protected Material remain subject to this Protective Order as set forth in
Section 4 (DURATION).
