13

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

14

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

15

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

16

includes language substantially identical to the following:

17

CONFIDENTIAL

18

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

19

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

20

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

21

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

1160 Town Center Drive, Suite 330
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA 89144
TEL.: [phone] – FAX: [phone]

10

records for inspection and the requesting party elects to inspect them, no designation of Confidential

11

Information needs to be made in advance of the inspection. For purposes of such inspection, all

Deposition Transcripts. The party asserting confidentiality shall state on the

18

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

19

3.6

The failure to designate testimony on the record as

Inadvertent Failure to Designate. Inadvertent failure to identify documents or

20

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

21

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

22

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

23

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

24

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

25

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

26

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

27

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

28

by this Protective Order, and the receiving party(ies) shall promptly, and in no event more than
4
42165336;1

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

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

6

designating party's claims of confidentiality.

7

8

Designations by Another Party.
4.1

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

AKERMAN LLP

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

10
1160 Town Center Drive, Suite 330
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA 89144
TEL.: [phone] – FAX: [phone]

9

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

11

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

12

4.2

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

13

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

14

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

15

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

16

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

17

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

18

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

19

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

20

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

21

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

22

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

23

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

24

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

25

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

26

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

27

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 discovery

5

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

6

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

7

their differences, the designating party shall have twenty one (21) days after the conference concludes

8

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

9

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

12

designating party for purposes of this paragraph.

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

13

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

14

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

15

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

16

Confidential Information under subparagraph 3.5, which will lose their confidential status after

17

twenty-one (21) days unless so designated as Confidential Information. If the Court rules that a

18

designation should not be maintained as to a particular document, the producing party shall, upon

19

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

20

described in subparagraph 3.2.

21

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

22

one (21) days after the conference, the Confidential Information designation shall be deemed

23

withdrawn. The objecting party shall have twenty one (21) days to respond to the designating party’s

24

motion. If no response is filed by the objecting party within twenty one (21) days, the objecting party

25

shall be deemed to have consented to the designating party’s motion pursuant to LR 7-2(d).

26

6.

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

27

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

28

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

2

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

4

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