3.2

11

or contain Confidential Information shall state that the material is being produced under this Protective

12

Order by describing the documents or materials to be treated as confidential in writing, by page or

13

bates number wherever possible and/or shall produce copies bearing a label that contains or includes

14

language substantially identical to the following:

15

CONFIDENTIAL

16

This label shall be affixed in a manner that does not obliterate or obscure the contents of the

17

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

18

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

19

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

20

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

21

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

22

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

7

3.4

Inspection of Documents. In the event a party elects to produce files and records

13

3.5

Deposition Transcripts. The party asserting confidentiality shall state on the

record the portions it deems confidential.

15

confidential shall be a waiver unless the designating party notifies all other parties and files a motion

16

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

17

3.6

The failure to designate testimony on the record as

Inadvertent Failure to Designate. Inadvertent failure to identify documents or

18

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

19

otherwise valid claim for protection, provided that the provisions of this paragraph are satisfied. If the

20

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

21

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 required

26

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

27

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

28

party all previously produced copies of the same unlegended documents or things. The designating

party and the parties may agree to alternative means. The receiving party(ies) shall receive no

2

liability, under this Protective Order or otherwise, for any disclosure of information contained in

3

unlegended documents or things occurring before the receiving party was placed on notice of the

4

designating party's claims of confidentiality.

5

4.

6

Designations by Another Party.
4.1

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

7

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

8

of the non-producing party, the non-producing party may designate the document as Confidential

9

Information by so notifying all parties in writing within fourteen (14) days of service of the document.

10

4.2

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

11

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

12

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

13

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

14

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

15

shall destroy all undesignated copies of the document or return those copies to the producing party, at

16

the direction of the producing party. No party shall disclose a produced document to any person, other

17

than the persons authorized to receive Confidential Information under subparagraph 7.1, until after the

18

expiration of the fourteen (14) day designation period specified in subparagraph 4.1. If during the

19

fourteen (14) day designation period a party discloses a produced document to a person authorized to

20

receive Confidential Information under subparagraph 7.1, and that document is subsequently

21

designated as Confidential Information in accordance with subparagraph 4.1, the disclosing party shall

22

cause all copies of the document to be destroyed or returned to the producing party, at the direction of

23

the producing party. The party may thereafter disclose a copy of the document that has been marked as

24

Confidential Information by the designating party, in accordance with subparagraphs 3.2 and 7.1.

25

5.

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

26

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

27

designating party and all other parties of the objection in writing forty-five (45) days before trial of the

28

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

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

their differences, the designating party shall have fourteen (14) days after the conference concludes to

6

file with the Court a motion to deem the information as Confidential Information. Where a party

7

authored, created, owns, or controls a document, information or other material that another party

8

designates as Confidential Information, the party that authored, created, owns, or controls the

9

Confidential Information may so inform the objecting party and thereafter shall also be considered a

10

designating party for purposes of this paragraph.

11

All documents, information and other materials initially designated as Confidential Information

12

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

13

otherwise, except for deposition transcripts and exhibits initially considered as containing Confidential

14

Information under subparagraph 3.5, which will lose their confidential status after fourteen (14) days

15

unless so designated as Confidential Information. If the Court rules that a designation should not be

16

maintained as to a particular document, the producing party shall, upon written request by a party,

17

provide that party a copy of that document without the designation described in subparagraph 3.2.

18

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

19

fourteen (14) days after the conference, information or other materials to which an objection has been

20

made, the Confidential Information designation shall be deemed withdrawn. The objecting party shall

21

have fourteen (14) days to respond to the objecting party's motion. If no response is filed by the

22

objecting party within fourteen (14) days, the designating party shall be deemed to have consented to

23

the designating party's motion.

24

6.

Custody. All Confidential Information and any and all copies, extracts and summaries

25

thereof, including memoranda relating thereto, shall be retained by the receiving party in the custody

26

of counsel of record, or by persons to whom disclosure is authorized under subparagraph 7.1.

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

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