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
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER case no. 5:11-cv-06375 (HRL)
LA:311794. 7
4
1
retard the case development process or to impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties)
2
expose the Designating Party to sanctions.
3
If it comes to a Designating Party's attention that information or items that it designated for
4
protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must promptly notify all other Parties that
5
it is withdrawing the mistaken designation.
6
5.2
Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in this Order (see,
7
e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or
8
Discovery Material that qualifies for protection under this Order must be clearly so designated before the
9
material is disclosed or produced.
10
Designation in conformity with this Order requires:
11
(a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic documents, but
12
excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that the Producing Party affix
13
the legend "CONFIDENTIAL" or "HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL" to each page that contains protected
14
material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing
15
Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the
16
margins).
17
A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents or materials available for inspection need not
18
designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated which material it would like
19
copied and produced. During the inspection and before the designation, all of the material made available
20
for inspection shall be deemed "CONFIDENTIAL." After the inspecting Party has identified the
21
documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine which documents, or
22
portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order. Then, before producing the specified documents,
23
the Producing Party must affix the "CONFIDENTIAL" or "HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL" legend to each
24
page that contains Protected Material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for
25
protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making
26
appropriate markings in the margins).
27
28
(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,
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER case no. 5:11-cv-06375 (HRL)
LA:311794. 7
5
1
all protected testimony.
2
(c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and for any other
3
tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the exterior of the container or
4
containers in which the information or item is stored the legend "CONFIDENTIAL" or "HIGHLY
5
CONFIDENTIAL," as appropriate. If only a portion or portions of the information or item warrant
6
protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the protected portion(s).
7
5.3
Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent failure to designate
8
qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive the Designating Party's right to secure
9
protection under this Order for such material. Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party
10
must make reasonable efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this
11
Order.
12
6.
13
CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
6.1
Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a designation of
14
confidentiality at any time. Unless a prompt challenge to a Designating Party's confidentiality designation
15
is necessary to avoid foreseeable, substantial unfairness, unnecessary economic burdens, or a significant
16
disruption or delay of the litigation, a Party does not waive its right to challenge a confidentiality
17
designation by electing not to mount a challenge promptly after the original designation is disclosed.
18
6.2
Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute resolution process by
19
providing written notice of each designation it is challenging and describing the basis for each challenge.
20
To avoid ambiguity as to whether a challenge has been made, the written notice must recite that the
21
challenge to confidentiality is being made in accordance with this specific paragraph of the Protective
22
Order. The parties shall attempt to resolve each challenge in good faith and must begin the process by
23
conferring directly (in voice to voice dialogue; other forms of communication are not sufficient) within 14
24
days of the date of service of notice. In conferring, the Challenging Party must explain the basis for its
25
belief that the confidentiality designation was not proper and must give the Designating Party an
26
opportunity to review the designated material, to reconsider the circumstances, and, if no change in
27
designation is offered, to explain the basis for the chosen designation. A Challenging Party may proceed to
28
the next stage of the challenge process only if it has engaged in this meet and confer process first or
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER case no. 5:11-cv-06375 (HRL)
LA:311794.7
6
1
establishes that the Designating Party is unwilling to participate in the meet and confer process in a timely
2
manner.
3
6.3
Judicial Intervention. If the Parties cannot resolve a challenge without court intervention,
parties shall comply with the undersigned's Standing Order re Civil Discovery Disputes
4
the Designating Party shall file and serve a motion to retain confidentiality under Civil Local Rule 7 (and
5
in compliance with Civil Local Rule 79-5 and General Order 62, if applicable) within 21 days of the initial
6
notice of challenge or within 14 days of the parties agreeing that the meet and confer process will not
7
resolve their dispute, whichever is earlier. Each such motion must be accompanied by a competent
8
declaration affirming that the movant has complied with the meet and confer requirements imposed in the
9
preceding paragraph. Failure by the Designating Party to make such a motion including the required
Any Discovery Dispute Joint Report shall affirm that

designation for each challenged designation. In addition, the Challenging Party may file a motion
12
challenging a confidentiality designation at any time if there is good cause for doing so, including a
13
challenge to the designation of a deposition transcript or any portions thereof. Any motion brought
14
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 burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on the Designating Party.
17
Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper purpose (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary
18
expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the
19
Designating Party has waived the confidentiality designation by failing to file a motion to retain
20
confidentiality as described above, all parties shall continue to afford the material in question the level of
21
protection to which it is entitled under the Producing Party's designation until the court rules on the
22
challenge.

23
24
25
If a Party is served with a discovery request, subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation
that compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this action as "CONFIDENTIAL," that
Party must:
26
27
(a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall include a
copy of the discovery request, subpoena or court order;
28
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER case no. 5:11-cv-06375 (HRL)
LA:311794. 7
9
1
(b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the discovery request, subpoena or
2
order to issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the discovery request,
3
subpoena or order is subject to this Protective Order. Such notification shall include a copy of this
4
Stipulated Protective Order; and
5
6
(c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued by the
Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.
7
If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with the discovery
8
request, subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this action as
9
"CONFIDENTIAL" or "IDGHLY CONFIDENTIAL" before a determination by the court from which the
10
discovery request, subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party's
11
permission. The Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in that court of
12
its confidential material- and nothing in these provisions should be construed as authorizing or
13
encouraging a Receiving Party in this action to disobey a lawful directive from another court.
14
10.
15
A NON-PARTY'S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE PRODUCED IN THIS
LITIGATION
16
(a)
The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a Non-Party in
17
this action and designated as "CONFIDENTIAL" or "HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL." Such information
18
produced by Non-Parties in connection with this litigation is protected by the remedies and relief provided
19
by this Order. Nothing in these provisions should be construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking
20
additional protections.
21
(b)
In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to produce a
22
Non-Party's confidential information in its possession, and the Party is subject to an agreement with the
23
Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party's confidential information, then the Party shall:
24
25
(1)
some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality agreement with a Non-Party;
26
27
promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party that
(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 ofthe
28
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER case no. 5:11-cv-06375 (HRL)
LA:311794.7
10
1
information requested; and
2
(3)
3
(c)
make the information requested available for inspection by the Non-Party.
If the Non-Party fails to object or seek a protective order from this court within 14
4
days of 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 seeks a
6
protective order, the Receiving Party shall not produce any information in its possession or control that is
7
subject to the confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a determination by the court. 1 Absent a
8
court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in this
9
court of its Protected Material. See Paragraph 15.
10
11.
UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
11
If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed Protected Material
12
to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving
13
Party must immediately (a) notify in writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use
14
its best efforts to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform the person or
15
persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this Order, and (d) request such
16
person or persons to execute the "Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound" that is attached hereto
17
as Exhibit A.

INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE PROTECTED
MATERIAL
material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection, the obligations of the Receiving Parties are

whatever procedure may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for production without prior
privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502( d) and (e), insofar as the parties reach an
agreement on the effect of disclosure of a communication or information covered by the attorney-client

13 .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.
6
13.2
Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this Protective Order no
7
Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to disclosing or producing any information or
8
item on any ground not addressed in this Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right
9
to object on any ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective Order.
10
13.3
Filing Protected Material. Without written permission from the Designating Party or a
11
court order secured after appropriate notice to all interested persons, a Party may not file in the public
12
record in this action any Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any Protected Material
13
must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5 and General Order 62. Protected Material may only be filed
14
under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the specific Protected Material at issue.
15
Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5 and General Order 62, a sealing order will issue only upon a request
16
establishing that the Protected Material at issue is privileged, protectable as a trade secret, or otherwise
17
entitled to protection under the law. If a Receiving Party's request to file Protected Material under seal
18
pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5( d) and General Order 62 is denied by the court, then the Receiving Party
19
may file the information in the public record pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5(e) unless otherwise
20
instructed by the court.

14.
FINAL DISPOSITION
Within 60 days after the final disposition of this action, as defined in paragraph 4, each Receiving
23
Party must return all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such material. As used in this
24
subdivision, "all Protected Material" includes all copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries, and any other
