3
response, and that portion of the response will be entitled to the protections of this order.

12
confidential shall be a waiver unless the designating party notifies all other parties and files a motion
13
to designate the testimony as confidential within 5 days of the notification.
14
3.6
The failure to designate testimony on the record as
Inadvertent Failure to Designate. Inadvertent failure to identify documents or
15
things as "Confidential" pursuant to this Protective Order shall not constitute a waiver of any
16
otherwise valid claim for protection, provided that the provisions of this paragraph are satisfied. If the
17
designating party discovers that information should have but was not designated "Confidential" or of
18
the designating party receives notice that would enable the designated party to learn that it has
19
disclosed such information, the designating party must immediately notify all other parties. In such
20
event, within thirty (30) days of notifying all other parties, the designating parties must also provide
21
copies of the "Confidential" information designated in accordance with this Protective Order. After
22
receipt of such re-designated information, the "Confidential" information shall be treated as required
23
by this Protective Order, and the receiving party(ies) shall promptly, and in no event more than
24
fourteen (14) calendar days from the receipt of the re-designated information, return to the designated
25
party all previously produced copies of the same unlegended documents or things. The designating
26
party and the parties may agree to alternative means. The receiving party(ies) shall receive no
27
liability, under this Protective Order or otherwise, for any disclosure of information contained in
28
unlegended documents or things occurring before the receiving party was placed on notice of the

3
Designations by Another Party.
4.1
Notification of Designation. If a party other than the producing party believes
4
that a producing party has produced a document that contains or constitutes Confidential Information
5
of the non-producing party, the non-producing party may designate the document as Confidential
6
Information by so notifying all parties in writing within fourteen (14) days of service of the document.
7
4.2
Return of Documents; Non-disclosure. Whenever a party other than the

bearing such designation for each copy of the document produced by the producing party. Each party
12
shall destroy all undesignated copies of the document or return those copies to the producing party, at
13
the direction of the producing party. No party shall disclose a produced document to any person, other
14
than the persons authorized to receive Confidential Information under subparagraph 7.1, until after the
15
expiration of the fourteen (14) day designation period specified in subparagraph 4.1. If during the
16
fourteen (14) day designation period a party discloses a produced document to a person authorized to
17
receive Confidential Information under subparagraph 7.1, and that document is subsequently
18
designated as Confidential Information in accordance with subparagraph 4.1, the disclosing party shall
19
cause all copies of the document to be destroyed or returned to the producing party, at the direction of
20
the producing party. The party may thereafter disclose a copy of the document that has been marked
21
as Confidential Information by the designating party, in accordance with subparagraphs 3.2 and 7.1.
22
5.
Objections to Designations. Any party objecting to a designation of Confidential
23
Information, including objections to portions of designations of multi-page documents, shall notify the
24
designating party and all other parties of the objection in writing forty-five (45) days before trial of the
25
matter. This notice must specifically identify each document that the objecting party in good faith
26
believes should not be designated as Confidential Information and provide a brief statement of the
27
grounds for such belief. In accordance with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure governing discovery
28
disputes, the objecting and the designating parties thereafter shall confer within ten (10) days after the

date of such objection in an attempt to resolve their differences. If the parties are unable to resolve
2
their differences, the designating party shall have fourteen (14) days after the conference concludes to
3
file with the Court a motion to deem the information as Confidential Information. Where a party
4
authored, created, owns, or controls a document, information or other material that another party

Confidential Information under subparagraph 3.5, which will lose their confidential status after
12
fourteen (14) days unless so designated as Confidential Information. If the Court rules that a
13
designation should not be maintained as to a particular document, the producing party shall, upon
14
written request by a party, provide that party a copy of that document without the designation
15
described in subparagraph 3.2.
16
If a designating party elects not to make such a motion with respect to documents within
17
fourteen (14) days after the conference, information or other materials to which an objection has been
18
made, the Confidential Information designation shall be deemed withdrawn. The objecting party shall
19
have fourteen (14) days to respond to the objecting party's motion. If no response is filed by the
20
objecting party within fourteen (14) days, the designating party shall be deemed to have consented to

bring such disclosure to the attention of the designating party. Without prejudice to other rights and
16
remedies of the designating party, the responsible party or person shall make every effort to obtain
17

18
of the person who was the unauthorized recipient of such information.

No Implied Waivers. This Protective Order shall not be interpreted as a waiver of the

construed as an admission that such material, or any testimony concerning such material, would be

admissible in evidence in this litigation or in any other proceeding.

12.
Inadvertent Disclosure. Nothing in this Protective Order abridges applicable law
14
concerning inadvertent disclosure of a document that the Disclosing Party believes contains attorney-
15
client communications, attorney work product, or otherwise privileged information. If a party
16
inadvertently discloses documents or information subject to a claim of privilege or work product
17
protection, such disclosure will not waive otherwise applicable claims of privilege or work product
18
protection under applicable law. Upon discovery by the Receiving Party, or receipt of written notice
19
from the Disclosing Party identifying privileged or protected Documents that were inadvertently
20
produced, the receiving party shall within seven (7) business days either: (a) return or certify the
21
destruction of all such documents, all copies, and any work product or portions of any work product
22
containing or reflecting the contents of the subject materials; or (b) follow the procedures outlined in
23
paragraph 5 above for objecting to the designation of Confidential Information. The objecting party

25
opportunity for appellate review is exhausted or the issue is otherwise resolved.
26
13.
Parties' Own Documents. This Protective Order shall in no way restrict the parties in
27
their use of their own documents and information, and nothing in this Protective Order shall preclude
28
any party from voluntarily disclosing its own documents or information to any party or nonparty.

Motion by Third Party to Compel Production of Confidential Information. If any
to this action to produce any such information, such party shall immediately notify the parties who
4
originally produced and/or designated such information that a subpoena has been served or a motion
5
has been made in order to allow the parties who originally produced and/or designated such

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

12
originally produced and/or designated such information. Nothing in this Protective Order shall be
13
construed as requiring the party who is ordered to produce such Confidential Information to challenge
14
or appeal any order requiring the production of such information or to subject himself/herself to any
15
penalty for non-compliance with any legal process or seek any relief from the Court.
16
15.
No Effect on Other Rights. This Protective Order shall in no way abrogate or
17
diminish any pre-existing contractual, statutory, or other legal obligations or rights of any party with
18
respect to Confidential Information.
19
16.
Modification. In the event any party hereto seeks a Court order to modify the terms of
20
this Protective Order, or seeks a protective order which incorporates the terms and conditions of this
21
Protective Order said party shall make such request by written stipulation or noticed motion to all
22
parties that must be served and filed in accordance with local court rules.

24
disclosure was made agree to return all Confidential Information to the designating party within thirty
25
