Plaintiff,
v.
CENTURYLINK, INC.,
PROTECTIVE ORDER
Defendant.
WHEREAS, discovery in the above-referenced matters may involve the disclosure of
certain documents, things, testimony and information that constitute or contain trade secrets or
other confidential commercial information within the meaning of Rule 26(c)(1)(G) of the Federal
Rules of Civil Procedure (Fed. R. Civ. P.); and
WHEREAS, the parties, by their attorneys, respectfully submit this Protective Order, see
Joint Motion for Entry of Protective Order (Filing No. 27), to prevent unnecessary dissemination
or disclosure of such confidential information.
As used herein, the term “Parties” shall mean the Plaintiff, Defendant and any third
parties collectively. “Party” shall mean any party to the above referenced matters. The term
Signatory shall mean any person who has agreed to be bound by the provisions of this Protective
Order.
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED as follows:
1.
This Protective Order shall apply to all information, documents, testimony and
things within the scope of discovery of the above referenced actions that are in the custody or
possession of the Parties and/or which were received by a Party from a third party under an
obligation of confidentiality, which constitute or contain confidential financial, commercial,
marketing or business information, trade secrets, know-how or proprietary data relating to
financial, commercial, marketing, business and other subject matter within the meaning of Rule
26(c)(1)(G), and which is properly designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “ATTORNEYS’ EYES
ONLY INFORMATION” (“AEO”) pursuant to the following provisions by any of the Parties
producing the information including, but not limited to, documents and things responsive to
requests for production of documents, responses to written interrogatories, responses to requests
for admission, testimony adduced at depositions, and hearing or trial transcripts.
2.
The Parties shall label or mark documents, portions of documents, answers to
interrogatories, responses to requests for admission, depositions, affidavits, expert reports, legal
briefs or memoranda, and information derived therefrom (hereinafter “documents and things”)
and things that constitute or contain CONFIDENTIAL
INFORMATION or AEO
INFORMATION with the legend “CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL”, “CONFIDENTIAL” or
“ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.”
Documents and things that constitute or contain
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION or AEO INFORMATION shall be labeled or marked with
the appropriate legend when the document or thing is produced to the Party or Parties seeking
discovery. The designations of “CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL” or “CONFIDENTIAL” by any
of the Parties constitutes the representation of the party that it reasonably and in good faith
believes that the designated material constitutes or discloses trade secrets, know-how, proprietary
data or commercial information within the meaning of Rule 26(c)(1)(G) that has previously been
maintained in confidence, or, if newly created, will be maintained in confidence. Similarly, a
designation of “ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” by any of the Parties constitutes the
representation of the party that it reasonably and in good faith believes that the designated
material constitutes or discloses trade secrets, CPNI, or material of such a highly competitive
nature, that disclosure could cause harm in the marketplace within the meaning of Rule 26(1)(G)
that has previously been maintained in confidence, or, if newly created, will be maintained in
confidence.
Documents and things produced without a legend designating the material
confidential shall not be subject to this Protective Order.
3.
Testimony adduced at depositions upon oral examination of current or former
directors, officers, employees or agents of a Party, or any witness pursuant to Paragraph 9 below,
that constitutes or contains CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION or AEO INFORMATION may
be so designated when such testimony is provided or within fifteen (15) days after an official
deposition transcript is provided to the designating party. The Parties agree to mark all copies of
such deposition transcripts with the appropriate legend. The Parties agree to treat all testimony
adduced at each deposition as being CONFIDENTIAL or AEO INFORMATION (depending on
the highest level of material used in the deposition) for at least until fifteen (15) days after the
2
deposition transcript is provided. If notice is timely received prior to the expiration of such
fifteen (15) days that a Party has designated transcript pages or testimony as “CONFIDENTIAL”
or “ATTORNEYS EYE’S ONLY” such testimony and/or pages shall be deemed
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION or AEO INFORMATION under this Order.
All other
testimony shall not be subject to this Order.
4.
If a Party or third party, through inadvertence, produces or provides discovery of
any CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION or AEO INFORMATION without labeling or marking
it with the legend “CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL” or “CONFIDENTIAL” or “ATTORNEYS’
EYES ONLY” as provided in Paragraphs 2-3 of this Protective Order, the producing party may
give written notice to the receiving party that the document, thing or other discovery information,
response or testimony is CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION or AEO INFORMATION and
should be treated as such in accordance with the provisions of this Protective Order. Upon
receipt of such notice, and unless such designation is challenged pursuant to paragraph 15 of this
Protective Order, the receiving party shall treat such documents, things, information, responses
and testimony as CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION or AEO INFORMATION and shall mark
the documents or things “CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL” OR “CONFIDENTIAL” or
“ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” and so notify the producing party. Prior to receipt of such
notice, disclosure of such documents, things, information, responses and testimony to a person
not authorized to receive CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION shall not be deemed a violation of
this Protective Order.
5.
Nothing contained in this Protective Order shall be construed to affect or govern
the scope of discovery in this action, or to preclude any Party from moving this Court for a
further order pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P., Rule 26(c) any other provision of the Federal Rules of
Civil Procedure.
Nothing contained in this Protective Order shall be construed to require
production or disclosure of any CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION deemed by counsel for the
party possessing such material to be protected from disclosure by the attorney-client privilege or
the attorney work product doctrine.
6.
There is no waiver of the attorney-client privilege or the attorney work-product
doctrine should document(s) and thing(s) be produced which the producing party in good faith
asserts are covered by the attorney-client privilege or the attorney work- product immunity and
which were inadvertently produced. Upon prompt notice by a producing party and upon a
3
showing of privilege or protection together with a showing of inadvertent production, the
receiving party shall immediately return the originals and all copies of the privileged or immune
document(s) or thing(s).
7.
Material
marked,
labeled
or
otherwise
designated
“CONFIDENTIAL
MATERIAL” or “CONFIDENTIAL” or “ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” as described in
Paragraphs 2 through 4 of this Protective Order may be offered into evidence at hearings on
motions and may be used to prepare for and conduct discovery, to prepare for trial and to support
or oppose any motion in this action, but shall be subject to Paragraph 8 through 14 below and to
any further order regarding confidentiality that this Court may enter.
8.
Material
marked,
labeled
or
otherwise
designated
“CONFIDENTIAL
MATERIAL” or “CONFIDENTIAL” or “ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” as described in
Paragraphs 2 through 4 of this Protective Order shall be deemed and treated as CONFIDENTIAL
INFORMATION, unless and until this Court rules to the contrary, and one Party’s access to
another Party’s CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION or AEO INFORMATION and disclosure
thereof shall be limited, unless and until this Court rules that there may be further disclosure, to:
(a)
Any in-house counsel of a Party to the extent necessary in the conduct of
this litigation or in rendering legal advice in connection with this litigation, and the stenographic,
clerical and paralegal employees and agents of said counsel (those whose job includes work with
in-house counsel on litigation) whose duties and responsibilities require access to material
designated “CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL” or “CONFIDENTIAL” or “ATTORNEYS’ EYES
ONLY.” Each Party must provide to the producing Party an identification of all in-house
counsel to whom disclosure of material designated “CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL” or
“CONFIDENTIAL” or “ATTORNEYS EYE’S ONLY” is made in advance of such disclosure.
(b)
Outside counsel of record for the Parties, and outside counsel’s
stenographic, paralegal and clerical employees or agents whose duties and responsibilities
require access to CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION or AEO INFORMATION.
(c)
Other outside counsel that are retained or engaged by a Party for purposes
of this litigation, and outside counsel’s stenographic, paralegal and clerical employees or agents
whose duties and responsibilities require access to CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION or AEO
INFORMATION.
4
(d)
Outside experts (whether retained as testifying or consulting experts) that
are retained or engaged by a Party for purposes of this litigation, and outside experts
stenographic and clerical employees or agents whose duties and responsibilities require access to
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION or AEO INFORMATION.
(e)
Current employees of a Party who are not competitive decision makers
and only to the extent necessary to provide advice in the conduct of this litigation.
A
“competitive decision maker” is any officer, director, or employee of a Party who has authority
to make or substantially influence business decisions for the Party concerning prices, products or
services offered in any telecommunications market.
Such individuals can receive
“ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” information only after the producing party is notified of the
identity of the individual, her/his title and job duties at the Party, and a detailed basis for why
that individual should be entitled to see otherwise “ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” documents.
The producing party may challenge the individual in writing within five (5) business days of
notification. The parties shall thereafter try to resolve any disputes in good faith on an informal
basis. If the dispute cannot be resolved, the producing party shall move the Court to enforce its
designation if the parties fail to resolve the dispute informally. The producing party shall have
the burden of establishing that the individual should not have access to the material. If a Party’s
counsel wishes to disclose another Party’s material designated “CONFIDENTIAL” or, where
appropriate, “ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” to counsel not of record pursuant to subpart (c)
above, outside Consultants and Experts pursuant to subpart (d) above, or employees pursuant to
the subpart (e) above, that Party’s counsel shall first obtain a signed Undertaking in the form of
the annexed Exhibit A or Exhibit B from each such counsel, consultant or employee who would
require access to material designated “CONFIDENTIAL” or “CONFIDENTIAL and
ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” Counsel intending to disclose such material shall retain the
original of each such signed Undertaking through the conclusion of this action, including any
appeals or referrals to any administrative agencies, and shall make a copy of each such
undertaking available at the deposition of any such person who is deposed.
(f)
Nothing in this paragraph restricts a Party from disclosing to its own
officers, directors, partners, members or employees CONFIDENTIAL or AEO INFORMATION
it has produced or from disclosing CONFIDENTIAL or AEO INFORMATION to any officer,
5
director, partner, member or employee of the Party that produced the CONFIDENTIAL
INFORMATION or AEO INFORMATION.
9.
(a)
Any Party may, at a deposition or in preparing for a deposition, absent a
Court order or agreement to the contrary, disclose CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION or AEO
INFORMATION to: (1) any person identified in Paragraph 8 that is entitled to see such
information; or (2) any Party or Signatory to this Protective Order, or any officer, director,
partner, member or employee of a Party who has signed an Undertaking in the form of annexed
Exhibit A or Exhibit B and is otherwise entitled to see such documents. Copies of
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION or AEO INFORMATION shown to such Signatory or to
such officer, director, partner, member or employee of a Party (that is entitled to see such
documents) in preparation for his or her deposition may be retained during preparation for the
deposition, but Signatories or such officers, directors, partners, members, or employees of a party
must return all CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION or AEO INFORMATION used in the
deposition preparation within five (5) business days of reading and signing the deposition
transcript. Nothing in this sub-paragraph restricts a Party from disclosing to its own officers,
directors, partners, member or employees CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION it has produced or
from disclosing CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION to any officer, director, partner, member or
employee of the Party that produced, drafted, or previously received the CONFIDENTIAL
INFORMATION.
(b)
Nothing in this Protective Order shall prohibit a Party from using
CONFIDENTIAL or AEO INFORMATION produced, drafted, or previously received by a Party
in a deposition of that Party or any officer, director, employee, expert of agent of that Party.
(c)
Third parties who produce documents in this case, pursuant to subpoenas
or otherwise, may elect to become Signatories to this Protective Order by executing an Election
in the form of the attached Exhibit C. Such third parties shall then enjoy the benefits of this
Protective Order as to the protection of CONFIDENTIAL or AEO INFORMATION produced
by said third parties, and they shall also be bound by the obligations of this Protective Order,
including the obligation to maintain the confidentiality of CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION or
AEO INFORMATION. With respect to any such third party, the provisions of Paragraph 9(a)
shall apply with respect to depositions and preparation for depositions.
6
(d)
This Protective Order does not limit the right of a Party to offer
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION or AEO INFORMATION into evidence at trial, or to use it
for any other lawful trial purpose including impeachment.
A Party may seek advance
determination by the Court of the admissibility or non-admissibility of CONFIDENTIAL
INFORMATION or AEO INFORMATION. The Court may apply restrictions, as it deems
appropriate, on the manner of use of CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION or AEO
INFORMATION at trial, on re-publication of CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION or AEO
INFORMATION introduced at trial, and on public access to CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
or AEO INFORMATION introduced at trial.
(e)
Subject to the Federal Rules of Evidence, documents stamped
CONFIDENTIAL MATERIALS or CONFIDENTIAL or ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY and any
other CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION may be offered in evidence at trial or any Court
hearing. Any party may move the Court for an order that the evidence be received in camera or
under other conditions to prevent unnecessary disclosure.
10.
Any corporation or entity which is affiliated with any of the Parties and which
produces documents or information responsive to the Parties’ discovery requests is a third-party
beneficiary of this Protective Order and may pursue all civil remedies available to it for breach
thereof.
11.
In the event that the Parties desire to provide access to or disseminate
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION or AEO INFORMATION to any person not otherwise
entitled to access under this Protective Order, the Parties may agree to allow such access or any
Party may move the Court for an Order that such person be given access thereto. In the event
that the motion is granted, such person may have access to CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
or AEO INFORMATION after first signing an Undertaking in the form of Exhibit A or Exhibit
B attached hereto. Counsel seeking disclosure of such CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION or
AEO INFORMATION shall retain the original of each such signed Undertaking through the
conclusion of this action, including any appeals.
12.
Material designated “CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL” or “CONFIDENTIAL,” or
“ATTORNEYS EYE’S ONLY” including all information derived therefrom and all copies,
summaries, abstracts, excerpts, indices and descriptions of such material shall be held in
confidence, shall not be made public by any Party or person entitled under the terms of this
7
Protective Order to access such material, and shall not be used for any financial, commercial,
marketing, business or other competitive purpose.
13.
If CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION or AEO INFORMATION is disclosed to
or comes into the possession of any person other than in the manner authorized by this Protective
Order, any Party becoming aware of such disclosure shall immediately inform the producing
party of all pertinent facts relating to such disclosure and shall instruct each unauthorized person
to treat such information as confidential and demand that it be returned.
14.
If
any
material
designated
“CONFIDENTIAL
MATERIAL”
or
“CONFIDENTIAL” or “ATTORNEYS EYE’S ONLY” is to be filed with the court in
connection with any proceedings in this action, such material shall be electronically filed as a
RESTRICTED or SEALED document in the manner contemplated by NECivR 5.3 or 7.5, as
appropriate. If the filing of a sealed document in paper form is permitted by the Court or local
rules, the document shall be filed in a sealed envelope or container prominently marked with the
caption of the case, a general description of the contents of the envelope or container, and the
notation:
FILE UNDER SEAL. CONTAINS CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
COVERED BY PROTECTIVE ORDER TO BE OPENED ONLY (1) BY
OR AS DIRECTED BY THE COURT OR (2) BY WRITTEN
AGREEMENT OF THE PARTIES.
If a Party anticipates the disclosure, at an oral court hearing, of a document marked
“CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL” or “CONFIDENTIAL” or “ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”
that has not been filed under seal, the Party seeking to use such material shall provide notice to
the producing party prior to the hearing.
15.
The acceptance of material designated “CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL” or
“CONFIDENTIAL” or “ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” shall not constitute an admission or
concession, or permit an inference that such material is, in fact, confidential. Any Party may
challenge the confidential designation of material as not confidential. Such challenge must be in
writing. If the status of any material or information that has been designated “CONFIDENTIAL
MATERIAL” or “CONFIDENTIAL” or “ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” is challenged, the
producing party shall have five (5) business days after receipt of the written challenge to object
in writing to the challenge. The parties shall thereafter try to resolve the dispute in good faith on
an informal basis. If the dispute cannot be resolved, the producing party shall move the Court to
8
enforce its designation. The producing party shall have the burden of establishing that the
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION or AEO INFORMATION should not be declassified. If
there is no written objection to the initial written challenge within five (5) business days thereof,
the challenged material shall become non-confidential.
16.
This Protective Order shall not be construed to prevent the Parties from applying
to this Court for relief therefrom, or from applying to this Court for further or additional
protective orders, or from agreeing between themselves to modifications of this Protective Order,
subject to the approval of this Court. The Protective Order shall not preclude the Parties from
enforcing their rights against any other Party or any non-party believed to be violating their
rights. It is expressly understood between counsel for the parties that the category of personnel
set forth in Paragraph 8 supra may be increased by agreement or upon a showing, subject to the
approval of this Court, by any Party that such modification is necessary.
17.
Upon final termination of the action, including all appeals, the receiving Party
may retain at its outside counsel of record in its case documents, things, copies and samples to
the extent they include or reflect the receiving attorney’s work product. Such outside counsel
may also retain a complete set of all documents filed with the Court in this action and all
depositions and exhibits thereto. With respect to any such retained material, this Protective
Order shall survive the final termination of this action to the extent the information in such
material is not or does not become known to the public and continue to be binding upon all
persons to whom CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION or AEO INFORMATION is disclosed
hereunder. Within thirty (30) days of final termination of this action, including all appeals, if a
Producing Party requests that the receiving party do so, all copies and samples of material
designated “CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL” or “CONFIDENTIAL” or “ATTORNEYS’ EYES
ONLY” and any other summaries, abstracts, excerpts, indices and descriptions of such material
and information derived from such material that are recorded in any tangible form, (1) shall be
assembled (except for any that may be retained by the Court) and returned to the producing
Party’s counsel, along with a certification in writing that all such materials have been returned;
or (2) the receiving Party may alternatively destroy all such materials and certify in writing, the
destruction thereof. Accordingly, if a Producing Party has requested return or destruction, upon
final termination of this action, no one, other than outside counsel of record in this case as
described herein, shall retain any copies or samples of any material designated
9
“CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL” or “CONFIDENTIAL” or “ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.”
18.
The restrictions and obligations set forth herein relating to material designated
“CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL” or “CONFIDENTIAL” or “ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”
shall not apply to any information which: (a) the Parties agree should not be designated as
“CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL” or “CONFIDENTIAL” or “ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”;
(b) the Parties agree, or this Court rules, is already public knowledge; (c) the Parties agree, or
this Court rules, has become public knowledge other than as a result of disclosure by the
receiving party, its employees or agents in violation of this Protective Order; or (d) has come or
shall come into the receiving party’s legitimate knowledge or possession independently of the
production by a Party under conditions such that its use and/or public disclosure by the receiving
party would not violate some obligation to another. The burden of proving prior knowledge is
upon the Party asserting such prior knowledge. Such restrictions and obligations shall not be
deemed to prohibit discussions with any person of any material designated “CONFIDENTIAL
MATERIAL” or “CONFIDENTIAL” or “ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” if that person already
has or obtains legitimate possession thereof.
19.
Nothing in this Protective Order shall bar or otherwise restrict any attorney herein
from rendering legal advice to the attorney’s party-client with respect to this action, and in the
course thereof, relying upon an examination of “CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION” and/or
“ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”; provided, however, that in rendering such legal advice and in
otherwise communicating with the party-client, the attorney shall not disclose any
“CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION” or “ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY INFORMATION” to
anyone not authorized to receive such information pursuant to the terms of this Protective Order.
20.
This Protective Order may be executed in counterparts and by facsimile, with all
counterpart and facsimile signatures deemed to be part of one document.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
