2.12

Producing Party: A Party or Non-Party that produces Disclosure or

Discovery Material in this action. 2.13 Professional Vendors: Persons or entities that provide litigation support

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. For a period of six months after the final disposition of this action, the court will retain jurisdiction to enforce the terms of this protective order. 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 4
[PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER NO. CV 10 1087 JW HRL

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28

must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that qualifies under the appropriate standards. To the extent it is practical to do so, 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. A Designating Party may withdraw a designation of CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL ­ ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY upon written notice to all parties. 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" or "HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL ­ ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY" to each page that contains protected material. 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 "HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL ­ ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY." 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 appropriate legend ("CONFIDENTIAL" or "HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL ­ ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY") to each page that contains Protected Material. (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 5
[PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER NO. CV 10 1087 JW HRL

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28

other proceeding, all protected testimony and specify the level of protection being asserted. When it is impractical to identify separately each portion of testimony that is entitled to protection and it appears that substantial portions of the testimony may qualify for protection, the Designating Party may invoke on the record (before the deposition, hearing, or other proceeding is concluded) a right to have up to 21 days after a transcript of the testimony is made available to identify the specific portions of the testimony as to which protection is sought and to specify the level of protection being asserted. Only those portions of the testimony that are appropriately designated for protection within the 21 days shall be covered by the provisions of this Stipulated Protective Order. Alternatively, a Designating Party may specify, at the deposition or up to 21 days after a transcript of the testimony is made available, that the entire transcript shall be treated as "CONFIDENTIAL" or "HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL ­ ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY." Parties shall give the other parties notice if they reasonably expect a deposition, hearing or other proceeding to include Protected Material so that the other parties can ensure that only authorized individuals who have signed the "Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound" (Exhibit A) are present at those proceedings. The use of a document as an exhibit at a deposition shall not in any way affect its designation as "CONFIDENTIAL" or "HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL ­ ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY." Transcripts containing Protected Material shall have an obvious legend on the title page that the transcript contains Protected Material, and the title page shall be followed by a list of all pages (including line numbers as appropriate) that have been designated as Protected Material and the level of protection being asserted by the Designating Party. The Designating Party shall inform the court reporter of these requirements. Any transcript that is prepared before the expiration of a 21-day period for designation shall be treated during that period as if it had been designated "HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL ­ ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY" in its entirety unless otherwise agreed. After the expiration of that period, the transcript shall be treated only as actually designated. (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 6
[PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER NO. CV 10 1087 JW HRL

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28

the container or containers in which the information or item is stored the legend "CONFIDENTIAL" or "HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL ­ ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY." If only a portion or portions of the information or item warrant protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the protected portion(s) and specify the level of protection being asserted. 5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent

failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive the Designating Party's right to secure protection under this Order for such material. Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this Order. 6. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS 6.1 Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a

designation of confidentiality at any time. Unless a prompt challenge to a Designating Party's confidentiality designation is necessary to avoid foreseeable, substantial unfairness, unnecessary economic burdens, or a significant disruption or delay of the litigation, a Party does not waive its right to challenge a confidentiality designation by electing not to mount a challenge promptly after the original designation is disclosed. 6.2 Meet and Confer. A Party that elects to initiate a challenge to a

confidentiality designation or level of protection to be afforded to Protected Material shall meet (in voice-to-voice dialogue; other forms of communication are not sufficient) and confer with the Designating Party in good faith. In conferring, the challenging party must explain the basis for its belief that the confidentiality designation was not proper and must give the Designating Party an opportunity to review the designated material, to reconsider the circumstances, and, if no change in designation is offered, to explain the basis for the chosen designation. A challenging Party may proceed to the next stage of the challenge process only if it has engaged in this meet and confer process first. 6.3 Judicial Intervention. A Party that elects to press a challenge to a

confidentiality designation or level of protection to be afforded to Protected Material, after considering the justification offered by the Designating Party, may file and serve a motion under 7
[PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER NO. CV 10 1087 JW HRL

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28

Civil Local Rule 7 (and in compliance with Civil Local Rule 79-5, if applicable) that identifies the challenged material and sets forth in detail the basis for the challenge. Each such motion must be accompanied by a competent declaration that affirms that the movant has complied with the meet and confer requirements imposed in the preceding paragraph and that sets forth with specificity the justification for the confidentiality designation that was given by the Designating Party in the meet and confer dialogue. The burden of proof and of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on the Designating Party. Until the Court rules on the challenge, all Parties shall continue to afford the information, document, electronically-stored information, or thing, or portion thereof, with the level of protection designated by the Designating Party. 7. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 7.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is

disclosed or 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 manner1 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 the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a Receiving Party may disclose any information or item designated "CONFIDENTIAL" only to: (a) Named plaintiffs and defendants who have signed the "Acknowledgment

and Agreement to Be Bound" (Exhibit A); (b)

(h) The author or recipient of a document containing the information or a

custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information. 7.3 Disclosure of "HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL ­ ATTORNEYS' EYES

ONLY" Information or Items. Unless otherwise ordered by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a Receiving Party may disclose any information or item designated "HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL ­ ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY" only to: (a) The Receiving Party's Outside Counsel in this action, as well as

employees of said Outside Counsel, to whom it is reasonably necessary to disclose the information for this litigation; (b) Designated In-House Counsel of the Receiving Party to whom disclosure 9

is reasonably necessary for this litigation; (c) Experts of the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary

OTHER LITIGATION If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation that compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this action as "CONFIDENTIAL" or "HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL ­ ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY" that Party must: (a) Promptly notify in writing the Designating Party and in no event more

than 7 court days after receiving the subpoena or order. 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 other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the subpoena or order is subject to this Protective Order. Such notification shall include a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order; and (c) Cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued

by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.2

If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with the subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this action as "CONFIDENTIAL" or "HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL ­ ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY" before a determination by the court from which the subpoena or order 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 confidential material ­ and nothing in these provisions should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this action to disobey a lawful directive from another court. 9. 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 action and designated as "CONFIDENTIAL" or "HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL ­ ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY". Such information produced by Non-Parties in connection with this litigation is protected by the remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in these provisions should be construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional protections. (b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to

produce a Non-Party's confidential information in its possession, and the Party is subject to an agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party's confidential information, then the Party shall: 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; 2. Promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated

Protective Order in this litigation, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably specific description of the information requested; and 3. Make the information requested available for inspection by the

within 14 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party may produce the Non-Party's confidential information responsive to the discovery request. 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.3 Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in this court of its Protected Material. 10. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts to retrieve all unauthorized copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other form of reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material, (c) inform the person or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this Order, and (d) request such person or persons to execute the "Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound" that is attached hereto as Exhibit A. 11. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE

PROTECTED MATERIAL The inadvertent production of any privileged material including, but not limited to, the attorney-client privilege and/or work-product doctrine, shall not be deemed a waiver or impairment of any claim of privilege with respect to that Disclosure or Discovery Material, or otherwise. Upon receiving notice from a Producing Party that Disclosure or Discovery Material subject to any privilege was inadvertently produced, the Receiving Party shall return the Disclosure or Discovery Material, including any and all copies, abstracts, compilations,

The purpose of this provision is to alert the interested parties to the existence of confidentiality rights of a Non-Party and to afford the Non-Party an opportunity to protect its confidentiality interests in this court. 12

summaries or any other form of reproducing or capturing any of the privileged Disclosure or Discovery Material within their possession, custody, or control, to the Producing Party within 30 days. Any Receiving Party who believes that they have inadvertently received Disclosure or Discovery Material protected by the attorney-client privilege and/or work-product doctrine from a Producing Party, shall not read or review the Disclosure or Discovery Material beyond what is necessary to determine that the Disclosure or Discovery Material is privileged, and shall immediately notify the Producing Party and return the Disclosure or Discovery Material, including any and all copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other form of reproducing or capturing any of the privileged Disclosure or Discovery Material within their possession, custody, or control, to the Producing Party within 30 days. 12. 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 no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to disclosing or producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in this Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on any ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective Order. 12.3 Filing Protected Material. Without written permission from the

Designating Party or a court order secured after appropriate notice to all interested persons, a Party may not file in the public record in this action any Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any Protected Material must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5.and General Order 62. 13. FINAL DISPOSITION Unless otherwise ordered or agreed in writing by the Producing Party, upon written request to the Receiving Party within 60 days after the final termination of this action, the Receiving Party must return all Protected Material to the Producing Party. The Receiving Party shall then have 60 days to return the Protected Material. As used in this subdivision, "all 13

Protected Material" includes all copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other form of reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material. With permission in writing from the Designating Party, the Receiving Party may destroy some or all of the Protected Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the Receiving Party must submit a written certification to the Designating Party that identifies all Protected Material that was returned or destroyed. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are entitled to retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, or attorney work product, even if such materials contain Protected Material.
