All depositions or portions of depositions taken in this action that contain 26 confidential information may be designated as “Confidential” and thereby obtain the protections 27 accorded other confidential information. The parties shall have twenty-one (21) days from the date 28 2 of 7 Case 2:16-cv-02976-JCM-GWF Document 49 Filed 05/30/17 Page 3 of 7 1 a deposition is taken, or fourteen (14) days from the date a deposition transcript is received, 2 whichever date is greater, to serve a notice to all parties designating portions as “Confidential.” 3 Until such time, all deposition testimony shall be treated as confidential information. To the extent 4 any designations are made on the record during the deposition, the designating party need not serve 5 a notice re-designating those portions of the transcript as confidential information. Any party may 6 challenge any such designation in accordance with Paragraph 14 of this Order. 7 6. Except with the prior written consent of the individual or entity designating a 8 document or portions of a document as “Confidential,” or pursuant to prior Order after notice, any 9 document, transcript or pleading given “Confidential” treatment under this Order, and any 10 information contained in, or derived from any such materials (including but not limited to, all 11 deposition testimony that refers, reflects or otherwise discusses any information designated 12 confidential hereunder) may not be disclosed other than in accordance with this Order and may 13 not be disclosed to any person other than: (a) the Court and its officers; (b) parties to this litigation; 14 (c) counsel for the parties, whether retained counsel or in-house counsel and employees of counsel 15 assigned to assist such counsel in the preparation of this litigation; (d) fact witnesses subject to a 16 proffer to the Court or a stipulation of the parties that such witnesses need to know such 17 information; (e) present or former employees of the producing party in connection with their 18 depositions in this action (provided that no former employees shall be shown documents prepared 19 after the date of his or her departure; and (f) experts specifically retained as consultants or expert 20 witnesses in connection with this litigation. 21 7.

Third parties who are the subject of discovery requests, subpoenas or depositions 25 in this case may take advantage of the provisions of this Protective Order by providing the parties 26 with written notice that they intend to comply with and be bound by the terms of this Protective 27 Order. 28 3 of 7 Case 2:16-cv-02976-JCM-GWF Document 49 Filed 05/30/17 Page 4 of 7 1 9. All persons receiving any or all documents produced pursuant to this Order shall 2 be advised of their confidential nature. All persons to whom confidential information and/or 3 documents are disclosed are hereby enjoined from disclosing same to any person except as 4 provided herein, and are further enjoined from using same except in the preparation for and trial 5 of the above-captioned action between the named parties thereto. 6 reviewing such confidential documents, information or transcript shall disseminate or disclose 7 them to any person other than those described above in Paragraph 6 and for the purposes specified, 8 and in no event, shall such person make any other use of such document or transcript. 9 10 11 10. No person receiving or Nothing in this Order shall prevent a party from using at trial any information or materials designated “Confidential.” 11. This Order has been agreed to by the parties to facilitate discovery and the 12 production of relevant evidence in this action. Neither the entry of this Order, nor the designation 13 of any information, document, or the like as “Confidential,” nor the failure to make such 14 designation, shall constitute evidence with respect to any issue in this action. 15 12. Inadvertent failure to designate any document, transcript, or other materials 16 “Confidential” will not constitute a waiver of an otherwise valid claim of confidentiality pursuant 17 to this Order, so long as a claim of confidentiality is promptly asserted after discovery of the 18 inadvertent failure. If a party designates a document as “Confidential” after it was initially 19 produced, the receiving party, on notification of the designation, must make a reasonable effort 20 to assure that the document is treated in accordance with the provisions of this Order, and upon 21 request from the producing party certify that the designated documents have been maintained as 22 confidential information. The designating party shall have the burden of proving that any 23 document designated as CONFIDENTIAL is entitled to such protection. (ECF No. 42). 24 13. Within sixty (60) days after the final termination of this litigation, all documents, 25 transcripts, or other materials afforded confidential treatment pursuant to this Order, including any 26 extracts, summaries or compilations taken therefrom, but excluding any materials which in the 27 good faith judgment of counsel are work product materials, shall be returned to the Producing 28 4 of 7 Case 2:16-cv-02976-JCM-GWF Document 49 Filed 05/30/17 Page 5 of 7 1 Party. In lieu of return, the parties may agree to destroy the documents, to the extent practicable. 2 14. In the event that any party to this litigation disagrees at any point in these 3 proceedings with any designation made under this Protective Order, the parties shall first try to 4 resolve such dispute in good faith on an informal basis. If the dispute cannot be resolved, the party 5 objecting to the designation may seek appropriate relief from this Court. During the pendency of 6 any challenge to the designation of a document or information, the designated document or 7 information shall continue to be treated as “Confidential” subject to the provisions of this 8 Protective Order. 9 15. Nothing herein shall affect or restrict the rights of any party with respect to its own 10 documents or to the information obtained or developed independently of documents, transcripts 11 and materials afforded confidential treatment pursuant to this Order. 12 16. The Court retains the right to allow disclosure of any subject covered by this 13 stipulation or to modify this stipulation at any time in the interest of justice. 14 /// 15 /// 16 /// 17 /// 18 /// 19 /// 20 /// 21 /// 22 /// 23 /// 24 /// 25 /// 26 /// 27 /// 28 5 of 7 Case 2:16-cv-02976-JCM-GWF Document 49 Filed 05/30/17 Page 6 of 7 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 IT IS SO STIPULATED.
