pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure or other legal process by or from, or produced

on behalf of, a party in connection with this action (this information hereinafter referred to as

“Discovery Material”). As used herein, “Producing Party” or “Disclosing Party” shall refer to

extremely sensitive, highly confidential, non-public information, including but not limited to,

19

certain business information, business dealings, dealings with customers/prospective customers,

20

27

giving written notice of such a re-designation to all parties.

Upon receipt of the information described in Section 6, the Other Party shall have

seven (7) calendar days to serve a written objection to the proposed disclosure of its Confidential

or Highly Confidential Information, which shall state with specificity the reasons for such

objection. If counsel for the Other Party objects within seven (7) calendar days, there shall be no

26

disclosure to such expert except by further order of the Court pursuant to a motion brought by

27

the Retaining Party within ten (10) calendar days of the service of the objection. On any motion

Confidential and Highly Confidential Information or the substance or context

disclosed to anyone other than a person permitted to have access under the terms of this

10.

The inadvertent failure to designate information produced in discovery as

16

Confidential or Highly Confidential shall not be deemed, by itself, to be a waiver of the right to

17

so designate such discovery materials as Confidential or Highly Confidential Information.

18

Within a reasonable time of learning of any such inadvertent failure, the Producing Party shall

19

notify all Receiving Parties of such inadvertent failure and take such other steps as necessary to

20

correct such failure after becoming aware of it. Disclosure of such Discovery Materials to any

21

other person prior to later designation of the discovery materials in accordance with this Section

22

shall not violate the terms of this Protective Order. However, immediately upon being notified

23

of an inadvertent failure to designate, all parties shall treat such information as though properly

24

designated and take any actions reasonably necessary to prevent any unauthorized disclosure

25

subject to the provisions of this Protective Order.

Any of the parties to this action can challenge the designation of materials as

“Confidential” or “For Authorized Counsel Only” under this Protective Order. The signing of

3

“Confidential” or “For Authorized Counsel Only” designation at any later time. In the event that

4

any party desires to challenge at any time the designation of “Confidential” or “For Authorized

5

Counsel Only” materials, the challenging party shall, pursuant to Local Rule 26-7, first consult

6

with the party that made the challenged designation. If the parties cannot reach agreement as to

7

the appropriate designation for such materials, then the challenging party may move the Court

proceeding relating to the enforcement of this Protective Order.

15

15.

Any person in possession of Confidential or Highly Confidential Information

16

must exercise reasonable and appropriate care with regard to the storage, custody and use of such

17

Confidential or Highly Confidential Information in order to ensure that the confidential nature of

the same is maintained.

19

16.

Any party or non-party may designate depositions and other testimony (including

20

exhibits) as “For Authorized Counsel Only” by indicating on the record at the time the testimony

21

is given, or within seven (7) calendar days of receiving the final transcript that the entire

22

testimony or portions thereof shall be designated as “For Authorized Counsel Only.” Any party

“Confidential” by indicating on the record at the time the testimony is given, or within fourteen

a party or non-party later claims should not have been disclosed because of a privilege,

26

including, but not limited to, the attorney-client privilege or work product doctrine (“Privileged

27

Information”), shall not constitute a waiver of, or estoppel as to, any claim of attorney-client

28

privilege, attorney work product, or other ground for withholding production as to which the
Page 9 of 14

Case 2:14-cv-01319-RFB-GWF Document 50 Filed 11/10/14 Page 10 of 17

Protective Order is intended to provide the full protection afforded by Federal Rule of Evidence

3

502(d), providing that a “federal court may order that the privilege or protection is not waived by

4

disclosure connected with the litigation pending before the court—in which event the disclosure

5

is also not a waiver in any other federal or state proceeding.” In addition, the fact that a

6

document or other material was disclosed shall not be used in any manner as evidence in support

7

of any such alleged waiver. Upon a request from a party that has disclosed any document or

8

other material which it believes may be subject to the attorney-client privilege or work product

doctrine, or upon discovery by the Receiving Party that such document covered by the attorney-

10

client privilege and/or work product doctrine may have been produced, the Receiving Party of

11

said document or material shall return it and all copies within seven (7) calendar days to the

12

Producing Party. After the return of the document(s) or material(s), the Receiving Party may

13

challenge the disclosing party’s claim of attorney-client privilege and/or work product doctrine

14

by making a motion to the Court. In accordance with Federal Rule of Evidence 502(e), the

15

Parties’ foregoing stipulation and agreement on the effect of disclosure of Privileged Information

16

is binding on the Parties regardless of whether or not the Court enters this Stipulated Protective

17

Order for Confidential Information.

18

21.

Nothing in this Protective Order shall bar or otherwise restrict any counsel

19

(including a party’s in-house counsel) from rendering advice to his or her client with respect to

20

this litigation and, in the course thereof, referring to or relying generally upon his or her

21

examination of materials designated “Confidential” or, except in the case of in-house counsel,

22

“For Authorized Counsel Only,” provided, however, that in rendering such advice and in

23

otherwise communicating with his or her client, the counsel shall not disclose the content or the

24

source of any Confidential or Highly Confidential Information contrary to the terms of this

Protective Order.

Each party acknowledges that monetary remedies may be inadequate to protect

10

each party in the case of unauthorized disclosure or use of Confidential or Highly Confidential

11

12

injunctive relief may be appropriate to protect each party’s rights in the event there is any such

unauthorized disclosure or use of Confidential or Highly Confidential Information.

limitation, on the ground of attorney-client privilege, work product, and/or any other privilege or

the proper scope of discovery in this Action. In addition, this Protective Order shall not limit or
