DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
a.
Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection.
All
confidentiality designations must be made reasonably and in good faith. Each Party or Non-5CONFIDENTIALITY PROTECTIVE ORDER - Case No. 3:14-cv-00530-LHK
1
Party that designates information or items for protection under this Confidentiality Protective
2
Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific Material that qualifies under the
3
appropriate standards.
4
Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. A Designating Party shall
5
not make clearly unjustified designations or designations for an improper purpose (e.g., to
6
unnecessarily encumber or retard the case development process or to impose unnecessary
7
expenses and burdens on other parties).

12
b.
Manner and Timing of Designations.
Except as otherwise provided in this
13
Confidentiality Protective Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of Section 5(b)(i) below), or as
14
otherwise stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection
15
under this Confidentiality Protective Order must be clearly so designated before the Material is
16
disclosed or produced.
17
18
Designation in conformity with this Confidentiality Protective Order requires:
i.
for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic documents,
19
but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that the Producing
20
Party affix the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL/OUTSIDE
21
ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” as applicable, to each page that contains Protected Material.
22
A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents or Materials available for inspection
23
need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated which
24
Material it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and before the designation, all
25
Material made available for inspection shall be deemed “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL/OUTSIDE
26
ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” After the inspecting Party has identified the documents to be
27
copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine which Material qualifies for protection
28
under this Confidentiality Protective Order. Then, before producing the specified documents, the
-6CONFIDENTIALITY PROTECTIVE ORDER - Case No. 3:14-cv-00530-LHK

Producing Party must affix the appropriate legend to each page that contains Protected Material.
2
ii.
for testimony given in deposition, that the Designating Party identify all
Only those portions of transcript that actually contain “CONFIDENTIAL” and/or “HIGHLY
6
CONFIDENTIAL/OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” Material may be so designated. All
7
deposition transcripts will be treated as “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL/OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS’
8
EYES ONLY” Material until a party designates any or all portions of the transcript as
9
“CONFIDENTIAL” and/or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL/OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS’ EYES
10
ONLY” Material or until thirty (30) days after receipt of the transcript, whichever is earlier. If a

designation is made, the “CONFIDENTIAL” and/or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL/OUTSIDE
12
ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” portions of the transcript and exhibits, if filed with the Court,
13
shall be subject to the filing requirements set forth in Section 12(c) below. If any depositions are
14
videotaped or digitally recorded, those portions of the videotape or recording corresponding to
15
portions of the deposition transcript designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY
16
CONFIDENTIAL/OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” shall be afforded the same status.
17
iii.
for testimony given in other pretrial or trial proceedings, that the
18
Designating Party identify on the record, before the close of the hearing or other proceeding, all
19
protected testimony.

iv.
with respect to electronic documents produced in native format, that the

container or containers in which the information or item is stored the legend “CONFIDENTIAL”
27
or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL/OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” as applicable.
28
c.
Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If corrected within a reasonable time from
-7CONFIDENTIALITY PROTECTIVE ORDER - Case No. 3:14-cv-00530-LHK
1
discovery, an inadvertent failure to designate qualified information or items does not waive the
2
Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Confidentiality Protective Order for such
3
Material. Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party shall take steps to assure
4
that the Material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this Confidentiality Protective
5
Order. The Designating Party shall provide substitute copies of the qualified information or items
6
bearing the corrected designation. The Receiving Party shall return or certify the destruction of
7
the undesignated Protected Material.

13
substantial unfairness, unnecessary economic burdens, or a significant disruption or delay of the
14
Litigation, a Party does not waive its right to challenge a confidentiality designation by electing
15
not to mount a challenge promptly after the original designation is disclosed.
16
b.
or

as
“CONFIDENTIAL”
or
“HIGHLY
Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute resolution
17
process by providing written notice of each designation of “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY
18
CONFIDENTIAL/OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” that the Challenging Party is
19
challenging and describing the basis for each challenge. To avoid ambiguity as to whether a
20
challenge has been made, the written notice must recite that the challenge to confidentiality is
21
being made in accordance with this specific paragraph of the Confidentiality Protective Order.
22
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)
24
within fourteen (14) business days of the date of service of notice. In conferring, the Challenging
25
Party must explain the basis for its belief that the confidentiality designation was not proper and
26
must give the Designating Party an opportunity to review the Designated Material, to reconsider
27
the circumstances, and, if no change in designation is offered, to explain the basis for the chosen
28
designation. A Challenging Party may proceed to the next stage of the challenge process only if

provision must be accompanied by a competent declaration attesting that (1) the Challenging

Party has complied with the meet and confer requirements imposed by Section 6(b), or (2) the
10
Designating Party is unwilling to participate in the meet and confer process in a timely manner.
11
The burden of persuasion in any challenge proceeding shall be on the Designating Party. All
12
Parties shall continue to afford the Material in question the level of protection to which it is
13
entitled under the Producing Party’s designation until the Court rules on the challenge.

ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
a.
Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is disclosed
16
or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this case only for prosecuting,
17
defending, or attempting to settle the Litigation. Such Protected Material may be disclosed only to
18
the categories of persons and under the conditions described in this Confidentiality Protective
19
Order. When the Litigation has been terminated, a Receiving Party must comply with the
20
provisions of Section 13 below (FINAL DISPOSITION).
21
Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a location and
22
in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons authorized under this
23
Confidentiality Protective Order.
24
b.
Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items.

16
employee of a competitor of the Designating Party, prior to any disclosure, the Receiving Party
17

Any Party withholding documents based solely on the assertion of a privilege shall serve a
20
privilege log within ninety (90) days after completing the production of documents responsive to
21
the request to which the privilege was asserted. The Receiving Party shall then have a thirty (30)
22
day period in which to meet and confer with the Producing Party regarding the privilege log and,
23
if the Parties are unable to resolve any dispute, to seek relief from the Court, even if doing so
24
occurs after the fact discovery deadline. A Producing Party need not generate a privilege log for
25
documents withheld on the basis of the attorney-client privilege or work product doctrine that are
26
dated on or after February 4, 2014, which date corresponds to the filing of the original Complaint
27
(ECF 1) in this matter.
