12

includes language substantially identical to the following:

CONFIDENTIAL

14

15

copies. If any person or party makes copies of documents designated as containing Confidential

16

Information, the copying person or party shall mark each such copy as containing Confidential

17

Information in the same form as the Confidentiality notice on the original document.

18

A party producing documents that are stored on electronic, magnetic, optical or other non-

19

paper media, such as compact discs, DVD's, video tapes and audio tapes (collectively, “data storage

20

devices”) shall designate the data storage device as containing Confidential Information, by affixing

22

designate the testimony as confidential within 5 days of the notification.

17

3.6

Inadvertent Failure to Designate. Inadvertent failure to identify documents or things

18

as "Confidential" pursuant to this Protective Order shall not constitute a waiver of any otherwise

20

designating party discovers that information should have but was not designated "Confidential" or

21

of the designating party receives notice that would enable the designated party to learn that it has

22

disclosed such information, the designating party must immediately notify all other parties. In such

23

event, within thirty (30) days of notifying all other parties, the designating parties must also provide

24

copies of the "Confidential" information designated in accordance with this Protective Order. After

25

receipt of such re-designated information, the "Confidential" information shall be treated as

26

required by this Protective Order, and the receiving party(ies) shall promptly, and in no event more

27

than fourteen (14) calendar days from the receipt of the re-designated information, return to the

28

1

designating party and the parties may agree to alternative means. The receiving party(ies) shall

2

receive no liability, under this Protective Order or otherwise, for any disclosure of information

contained in unlegended documents or things occurring before the receiving party was placed on

4

notice of the designating party's claims of confidentiality.

5

4.

Designations by Another Party.

6

4.1

Notification of Designation. If a party other than the producing party believes that a

7

producing party has produced a document that contains or constitutes Confidential Information of

8

4.2

Return of Documents; Non-disclosure. Whenever a party other than the producing

12

party designates a document produced by a producing party as Confidential Information in

13

accordance with subparagraph 4.1, each party receiving the document shall either add the

14

Confidential Information designation in accordance with subparagraph 3.2 or substitute a copy of

15

the document bearing such designation for each copy of the document produced by the producing

16

party. Each party shall destroy all undesignated copies of the document or return those copies to the

17

producing party, at the direction of the producing party. No party shall disclose a produced

18

document to any person, other than the persons authorized to receive Confidential Information

19

under subparagraph 7.1, until after the expiration of the fourteen (14) day designation period

20

specified in subparagraph 4.1. If during the fourteen (14) day designation period a party discloses a

21

produced document to a person authorized to receive Confidential Information under subparagraph

22

7.1, and that document is subsequently designated as Confidential Information in accordance with

23

subparagraph 4.1, the disclosing party shall cause all copies of the document to be destroyed or

24

returned to the producing party, at the direction of the producing party. The party may thereafter

25

disclose a copy of the document that has been marked as Confidential Information by the

26

designating party, in accordance with subparagraphs 3.2 and 7.1.

27
28

5.

Objections to Designations. Any party objecting to a designation of Confidential

Information, including objections to portions of designations of multi-page documents, shall notify

matter. This notice must specifically identify each document that the objecting party in good faith

3

believes should not be designated as Confidential Information and provide a brief statement of the

4

grounds for such belief. In accordance with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure governing

5

discovery disputes, the objecting and the designating parties thereafter shall confer within ten (10)

6

days after the date of such objection in an attempt to resolve their differences. If the parties are

7

unable to resolve their differences, the objecting party shall have twenty one (21) days after the

8

conference concludes to file with the Court a motion to remove the Confidential Information. If an

9

objection is served within forty-two (42) days of trial, the objecting party must file its motion to

10

remove the Confidential Information designation within half of the remaining time before trial, and

11

the meet-and-confer period shall be shortened accordingly. Where a party authored, created, owns,

12

or controls a document, information or other material that another party designates as Confidential

13

Information, the party that authored, created, owns, or controls the Confidential Information may so

14

inform the objecting party and thereafter shall also be considered a designating party for purposes

15

of this paragraph.

16

All documents, information and other materials initially designated as Confidential

17

Information shall be treated as such in accordance with this Protective Order unless and until the

18

Court rules otherwise, except for deposition transcripts and exhibits initially considered as

19

containing Confidential Information under subparagraph 3.5, which will lose their confidential

20

status after twenty-one (21) days unless so designated as Confidential Information. If the Court

21

rules that a designation should not be maintained as to a particular document, the producing party

22

shall, upon written request by a party, provide that party a copy of that document without the

23

designation described in subparagraph 3.2.

24

If an objecting party elects not to make such a motion with respect to documents within

25

twenty one (21) days after the conference, information or other materials to which an objection has

26

been made, the objection shall be deemed withdrawn. The designating party shall have twenty one

27

(21) days to respond to the objecting party’s motion. If no response is filed by the designating party

2

8.

TEL.: [phone] – FAX: [phone]

11

the right to object, under applicable law, to the furnishing of information in response to discovery

12

13

Confidential Information in this litigation are doing so only pursuant to the terms of this Protective

14

19

12.

Inadvertent Disclosure. Nothing in this Protective Order abridges applicable law

20

21

attorney-client communications, attorney work product, or otherwise privileged information. If a

22

party inadvertently discloses documents or information subject to a claim of privilege or work

23

product protection, such disclosure will not waive otherwise applicable claims of privilege or work

24

product protection under applicable law. Upon discovery by the Receiving Party, or receipt of

25

written notice from the Disclosing Party identifying privileged or protected Documents that were

26

inadvertently produced, the receiving party shall within seven (7) business days either: (a) return or

27

28

work product containing or reflecting the contents of the subject materials; or (b) after attempting to

2

privilege and tender the subject documents for in camera review with the motion. The moving party

3

shall do nothing to compromise the privilege claim until the Court rules on said motion and the

4

opportunity for appellate review is exhausted or the issue is otherwise resolved.

5

13.

Parties' Own Documents. This Protective Order shall in no way restrict the parties

6

in their use of their own documents and information, and nothing in this Protective Order shall

7

preclude any party from voluntarily disclosing its own documents or information to any party or

8

nonparty.

14.

13

motion has been made in order to allow the parties who originally produced and/or designated such

14

information the opportunity to seek a protective order or oppose the motion or application. If,

15

within thirty (30) days after receiving notice of a subpoena seeking Confidential Information from a

16

receiving party, the party who originally produced and/or designated such information fails to move

17

18

19

notice and, if available, a copy of the order compelling disclosure shall immediately be given the

20

parties who originally produced and/or designated such information. Nothing in this Protective

21

22

Information to challenge or appeal any order requiring the production of such information or to
