follows:
3
1.
The parties in this action have sought and seek the production of information
4
5
deemed confidential and/or proprietary and, as set forth herein, the parties agree that production
6
of such records will be maintained in strict confidence. In accordance therewith, all documents
7
marked “CONFIDENTIAL” and/or information, written discovery and deposition testimony
8
pertaining to said documents (collectively referred to as “Confidential Information”) produced
9
by any party shall be used solely for the preparation, prosecution and defense of the present
10
case. Except as specified in paragraph 3 below, access to Confidential Information shall be
11
12
limited to the Court, its officers, counsel for the parties, the parties’ litigation representatives
13
and principals, and their staff members assisting in the preparation, prosecution and defense of
14
this case. Except as specified below, no person with access to Confidential Information shall
15
16
disclose the contents of any Confidential Information to any other person in any manner.
2.
The parties agree to limit their designations of Confidential Information to
17
18
information which, in good faith, is deemed sensitive, proprietary and/or confidential. Any
19
party may deem any document Confidential at any time, even if such documents were not
20
produced by that party or the documents were previously filed or used in another case,
21
proceeding, hearing or deposition.
22
3.
Counsel for any party may give access to Confidential Information to
23
independent experts/consultants and their staff, consulting firms, or other independent
24
25
26
contractors actually retained or employed to advise or assist such counsel and to whom it is
necessary that Confidential Information be disclosed for purposes of this case, provided that:

Before access to any Confidential Information is given to any person
pursuant to this paragraph, that person shall be informed by counsel proposing to
3
give such access of, and shall agree to be bound by, the following:
4
5
(i)
He or she shall not disclose the Confidential Information to any
6
person to whom this Stipulation and Protective Order does not
7
provide access;
8
(ii)
9
He or she shall make no copies, compilations or summaries of
the Confidential Information, except in connection with the

preparation, prosecution and defense of this case; if such copies,
11
compilations or summaries are made, neither those documents,
12

nor the information contained therein, shall be disclosed to any
14
person other than those permitted by this Stipulation and
15
16
Protective Order;
(iii)
At the conclusion of this case, or his or her involvement in the

returned to counsel for the party who gave him or her access
22
thereto for return to counsel for the party producing the same;
23
(iv)
Before access to the Confidential Information is given to any
24

person by any party or its counsel (that is not granted permission
26
by this Stipulated Agreement), the person shall execute and file

This Stipulation and Protective Order shall prohibit disclosure to all persons
7

Stipulation and Protective Order upon consent of all parties or upon application to the Court in
9

5.
Nothing in this Stipulation and Protective Order shall prohibit counsel for the
11
12
parties from using any of the Confidential Information in connection with any deposition,
13
application, motion, hearing, or trial in this action, provided that in the event that any such
14
Confidential Information is filed or otherwise lodged with the Court, it shall be filed or lodged
15
16
under seal pending further order, and shall be labeled, CONFIDENTIAL – NOT TO BE
DISCLOSED EXCEPT SUBJECT TO COURT ORDER.” In the event any Confidential
17
18
Information is used in connection with a deposition, the deposition shall be conducted outside
19
the presence of any person not directly involved in this litigation other than the court reporter
20
and persons agreed to between the parties. All portions of the deposition transcript and
21
exhibits relating to the Confidential Information shall be designated “CONFIDENTIAL.” If
22
counsel for any party attempts to introduce into evidence any Confidential Information at a
23
hearing or trial in this case, the Court will take such steps as it shall deem reasonably necessary
24
25
26
to preserve the confidentiality of that information.
6.
Unless the Court orders otherwise, testimony, documents or information that is
27
designated as “Confidential” is entitled to the protection afforded by this Stipulated Protective
28
Order as soon as that designation is made by the party seeking confidentiality.
