an opposing party during this litigation.

INFORMATION:”
means
documents,
materials,
information, and testimony a party provides or discloses during this litigation that is marked or
designated “CONFIDENTIAL” and is proprietary, confidential, and not publicly available, or
that implicates a privilege or legitimate privacy interest.

9.
Confidential Designation: Documents are designated confidential by clearly and
conspicuously placing or affixing on them the word “CONFIDENTIAL,” or other appropriate
notice, in a manner that will not interfere with their legibility.
8.
Testimony: Whenever a deposition involves the disclosure of information a
party regards as confidential, such party shall designate the information confidential on the
record during the deposition whenever possible, but a party may designate portions of
depositions as confidential after transcription, provided written notice of the designation is
promptly given to all counsel of record within 30 days after notice by the court reporter of the
completion of the transcript.
9.
Objections: A party may object to the designation of particular confidential
information by giving written notice to the party designating the disputed information. The
written notice shall identify the information to which the objection is made. If the parties cannot
resolve the objection within ten business days after the time the notice is received, then within 30
days of the date on the notice, it shall be the obligation of the party designating the information

as confidential to file an appropriate motion requesting that the court determine whether the
disputed information should be subject to the terms of this protective order. If such a motion is
timely filed, the disputed information shall be treated as confidential under the terms of this
protective order until the court rules on the motion. If the designating party fails to file such a
motion within the prescribed time, the disputed information shall lose its designation as
confidential and shall not thereafter be treated as confidential information in accordance with this
protective order. In connection with a motion filed under this provision, the party designating
the information as confidential shall bear the burden of establishing that good cause exists for the
disputed information to be treated as confidential.
10.
Conclusion of Action: Within 30 days of the final conclusion of this case, unless
other arrangements are agreed upon, all confidential information shall be destroyed or returned to
the party who produced it. In the event a party elects to return confidential information to the
opposing party, the returning party may request in writing that the returned documents be
maintained and not destroyed for up to three years from the final disposition of the case, and the
opposing party shall maintain the documents accordingly. A party who destroys the confidential
information produced to it must notify the producing party in writing of the manner and date of
destruction.
11.
Modification: This protective order may be modified by the court at any time for
good cause shown following notice to all parties and an opportunity for them to be heard.
