ROBERT DOYLE,

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
MODIFIED BY THE COURT
[Re: Docket No. 18]

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

19

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

20

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

21

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

22

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

23

blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to discovery and that the protection it affords

24

extends only to the limited information or items that are entitled under the applicable legal

25

principles to treatment as confidential. The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section

26

10, below, that this Stipulated Protective Order creates no entitlement to file confidential

27

information under seal; Civil Local Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be followed

28

and reflects the standards that will be applied when a party seeks permission from the court to

2.4. “Highly Confidential - Attorneys’ Eyes Only” Information or Items: extremely

13

sensitive “Confidential Information or Items” whose disclosure to another Party or non-party

this court will retain jurisdiction to enforce the terms of this order.
5.
DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL

20
21

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

22

non-party that designates information or items for protection under this Order must take care to

23

limit any such designation to specific material that qualifies under the appropriate standards. A

24

Designating Party must take care to designate for protection only those parts of material,

25

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

26

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

27

swept unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order.

28
M IG U E L M Á R Q U E Z
C o u n ty C o u n s e l
C o u n ty o f S a n ta C la r a
S a n Jo se , C a lifo rn ia

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

Stipulated Protective Order

3

C11-02260 EJD

1

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

2

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

3

expenses and burdens on other parties), expose the Designating Party to sanctions.

4

If it comes to a Party’s or a non-party’s attention that information or items that designated

5

for protection do not qualify for protection at all, or do not qualify for the level of protection

6

initially asserted, that Party or non-party must promptly notify all other parties that it is

7

withdrawing the mistaken designation.

8

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

9

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

10

that qualifies for protection under this Order must be clearly so designated before the material is

11

disclosed or produced.

12
13

Designation in conformity with this Order requires:
(a) for information in documentary form (apart from transcripts of depositions or

14

other pretrial or trial proceedings), that the Producing Party affix the legend

15

“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” at the top

16

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

17

page qualify for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portions

18

(e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins) and must specify, for each portion, the

19

level of protection being asserted (either “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL -

20

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”).

21

A Party or non-party that makes original documents or materials available for

22

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

23

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

24

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

25

CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” After the inspecting Party has identified

26

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

27

documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order, then, before producing

28

the specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the appropriate legend

C o u n ty o f S a n ta C la r a
S a n Jo se , C a lifo rn ia

Stipulated Protective Order

4

C11-02260 EJD

1

(“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”) at the

2

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

3

on a page qualify for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected

4

portions (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins) and must specify, for each

5

portion, the level of protection being asserted (either “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY

6

CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”).

7

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

8

Party or non-party offering or sponsoring the testimony identify on the record, before the close

9

of the deposition, hearing, or other proceeding, all protected testimony, and further specify any

10

portions of the testimony that qualify as “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS’ EYES

11

ONLY.” When it is impractical to identify separately each portion of testimony that is entitled

12

to protection, and when it appears that substantial portions of the testimony may qualify for

13

protection, the Party or non-party that sponsors, offers, or gives the testimony may invoke on

14

the record (before the deposition or proceeding is concluded) a right to have up to 20 days to

15

identify the specific portions of the testimony as to which protection is sought and to specify the

16

level of protection being asserted (“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL -

17

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”). Only those portions of the testimony that are appropriately

18

designated for protection within the 20 days shall be covered by the provisions of this Stipulated

19

Protective Order.

20

Transcript pages containing Protected Material must be separately bound by

21

the court reporter, who must a affix to the top of each such page the legend “CONFIDENTIAL”

22

or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” as instructed by the Party or

23

non-party offering or sponsoring the witness or presenting the testimony.

24

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

25

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

26

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

27

“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” If only

28

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

S a n Jo se , C a lifo rn ia

Stipulated Protective Order

5

C11-02260 EJD

1

practicable, shall identify the protected portions, specifying whether they qualify as

2

“CONFIDENTIAL” or as “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.”

3

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

4

designate qualified information or items as “CONFIDENTIAL” OR “HIGHLY

5

CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” does not, standing alone, waive the

6

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

7

appropriately designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL -

8

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” after the material was initially produced, the Receiving Party, on

9

timely notification of the designation, must make reasonable efforts to assure that the material is

10

treated in accordance with the provisions of this Order.

11

6.

12

CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
6.1 Timing of Challenges. Unless a prompt challenge to a Designating Party’s

13

confidentiality designation is necessary to avoid foreseeable substantial unfairness, unnecessary

14

economic burdens, or a later significant disruption or delay of the litigation, a Party does not

15

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

16

promptly after the original designation is disclosed.

17

6.2 Meet and Confer. A Party that elects to initiate a challenge to a Designating Party’s

18

confidentiality designation must do so in good faith and must begin the process by conferring

19

directly (in voice to voice dialogue; other forms of communication are not sufficient) with

20

counsel for the Designating Party. In conferring, the challenging Party must explain the basis

21

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

22

Party an opportunity to review the designated material, to reconsider the circumstances, and, if

23

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

24

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

25

in this meet and confer process first.
If the parties cannot resolve a challenge without court
6.3 Judicial Intervention. A Party that elects to press a challenge to a confidentiality
intervention, they shall comply with the undersigned's Standing Order re Civil Discovery
designation after considering the justification offered by the Designating Party may file and
Disputes. Any Discovery Dispute Joint Report (DDJR) shall (1) attest that the

4

paragraph and that sets forth with specificity the justification for the confidentiality designation

5

that was given by the Designating Party in the meet and confer dialogue.

1

6

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

7

Party. Until the court rules on the challenge, all parties shall continue to afford the material in

8

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

9

7.

ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

10

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

11

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

12

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

13

to the categories of persons and under the conditions described in this Order. When the

14

litigation has been terminated, a Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of section 11,

15

below (FINAL DISPOSITION).

16

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

17

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

18

Order.

19

7.2 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless otherwise ordered by

20

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

21

information or item designated CONFIDENTIAL only to:

22

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

3
4

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” Information or Items to “Experts”
(a) Unless otherwise ordered by the court or agreed in writing by the Designating

5

Party, a Party that seeks to disclose to an “Expert” (as defined in this Order) any information or

6

item that has been designated “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”

7

first must make a written request to the Designating Party that (1) identifies the specific

8

HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL information that the Receiving Party seeks permission to disclose

9

to the Expert, (2) sets forth the full name of the Expert and the city and state of his or her

10

primary residence, (3) attaches a copy of the Expert’s current resume, (4) identifies the Expert’s

11

current employer(s), (5) identifies each person or entity from whom the Expert has received

12

compensation for work in his or her areas of expertise or to whom the expert has provided

13

professional services at any time during the preceding five years, and (6) identifies (by name

14

and number of the case, filing date, and location of court) any litigation in connection with

15

which the Expert has provided any professional services during the preceding five years.

16

(b) A Party that makes a request and provides the information specified in the

17

preceding paragraph may disclose the subject Protected Material to the identified Expert unless,

18

within seven court days of delivering the request, the Party receives a written objection from the

19

Designating Party. Any such objection must set forth in detail the grounds on which it is based.

20
21

(c) A Party that receives a timely written objection must meet and confer with the

24

Designating Party (through direct voice to voice dialogue) to try to resolve the matter by
the parties shall comply with the undersigned's
agreement. If no agreement is reached, the Party seeking to make the disclosure to the Expert
Standing Order re Civil Discovery Disputes.
may file a motion as provided in Civil Local Rule 7 (and in compliance with Civil Local Rule
DDJR
79-5, if applicable) seeking permission from the court to do so. Any such motion must describe

25

the circumstances with specificity, set forth in detail the reasons for which the disclosure to the

26

Expert is reasonably necessary, assess the risk of harm that the disclosure would entail and

27

suggest any additional means that might be used to reduce that risk. In addition, any such
DDJR shall contain an attestation describing the
motion must be accompanied by a competent declaration in which the movant describes the

parties’ efforts to resolve the matter by agreement (i.e., the extent and the content of the meet

2

and confer discussions) and sets forth the reasons advanced by the Designating Party for its

3

refusal to approve the disclosure.

4

In any such proceeding the Party opposing disclosure to the Expert shall bear the

5

burden of proving that the risk of harm that the disclosure would entail (under the safeguards

6

proposed) outweighs the Receiving Party's need to disclose the Protected Material to its Expert.

8.

PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN OTHER
LITIGATION

8
9

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

10

would compel disclosure of any information or items designated in this action as

11

“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” the

12

Receiving Party must so notify the Designating Party, in writing (by fax, if possible)

13

immediately and in no event more than three court days after receiving the subpoena or order.

14

Such notification must include a copy of the subpoena or court order.

15

The Receiving Party also must immediately inform in writing the Party who caused the

16

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

17

subpoena or order is the subject of this Protective Order. In addition, the Receiving Party must

18

deliver a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order promptly to the Party in the other action that

19

caused the subpoena or order to issue.

20

The purpose of imposing these duties is to alert the interested parties to the existence of

21

this Protective Order and to afford the Designating Party in this case an opportunity to try to

22

protect its confidentiality interests in the court from which the subpoena or order issued. The

23

Designating Party shall bear the burdens and the expenses of seeking protection in that court of

24

its confidential material - and nothing in these provisions should be construed as authorizing or

25

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

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

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

10.

FILING PROTECTED MATERIAL

7

Without written permission from the Designating Party or a court order secured after

8

appropriate notice to all interested persons, a Party may not file in the public record in this

9

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

10

comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5.

11

11.

12

FINAL DISPOSITION
Unless otherwise ordered or agreed in writing by the Producing Party, within sixty days

13

after the final termination of this action, each Receiving Party must return all Protected Material

14

to the Producing Party. As used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies,

15

abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other form of reproducing or capturing any of the

16

Protected Material. With permission in writing from the Designating Party, the Receiving Party

17

may destroy some or all of the Protected Material instead of returning it. Whether the Protected

18

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

19

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

20

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

21

returned or destroyed and that affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any copies,

22

abstracts, compilations, summaries or other forms of reproducing or capturing any of the

23

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

24

copy of all pleadings, motion papers, transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence or attorney

25

work product, even if such materials contain Protected Material. Any such archival copies that

26

contain or constitute Protected Material remain subject to this Protective Order as set forth in

27

Section 4 (DURATION), above.
