follows:
WHEREAS, documents and information have been and may be sought, produced or

THEREFORE, an Order of this Court protecting such confidential information shall be
and hereby is made by this Court on the following terms:
1.

This Order shall govern the use, handling and disclosure of all documents,

7

testimony or information produced or given in this action which are designated to be subject to

8

this Order in accordance with the terms hereof.

9

2.

Any party or non-party producing or filing documents or other materials in this

10

action may designate such materials and the information contained therein subject to this Order

11

by typing or stamping on the front of the document, or on the portion(s) of the document for

12

which confidential treatment is designated, “Confidential.”

13

3.

To the extent any motions, briefs, pleadings, deposition transcripts, or other

14

papers to be filed with the Court incorporate documents or information subject to this Order, the

15

party filing such papers shall designate such materials, or portions thereof, as “Confidential,” and

16

shall file them with the clerk under seal; provided, however, that a copy of such filing having the

17

confidential information deleted therefrom may be made part of the public record. Any party

18

filing any document under seal must comply with the requirements of Local Rules.

19

4.

All documents, transcripts, or other materials subject to this Order, and all

20

information derived therefrom (including, but not limited to, all testimony, deposition, or

21

otherwise, that refers, reflects or otherwise discusses any information designated Confidential

22

hereunder), shall not be used, directly or indirectly, by any person, including Plaintiff, Experian,

23

24

other than solely for the preparation and trial of this action in accordance with the provisions of

25

this Order.

26
27

5.

Except with the prior written consent of the individual or entity designating a

document or portions of a document as “Confidential,” or pursuant to prior Order after notice,

28
2 of 7

1

any document, transcript or pleading given “Confidential” treatment under this Order, and any

2

information contained in, or derived from any such materials (including but not limited to, all

3

deposition testimony that refers, reflects or otherwise discusses any information designated

4

confidential hereunder) may not be disclosed other than in accordance with this Order and may

5

not be disclosed to any person other than: (a) the Court and its officers; (b) parties to this

6

litigation; (c) counsel for the parties, whether retained counsel or in-house counsel and

7

employees of counsel assigned to assist such counsel in the preparation of this litigation; (d) fact

8

witnesses subject to a proffer to the Court or a stipulation of the parties that such witnesses need

11

documents prepared after the date of his or her departure; and (f) experts specifically retained as

12

consultants or expert witnesses in connection with this litigation.

13

6.

Documents produced pursuant to this Order shall not be made available to any

14

person designated in Subparagraph 5(f) unless he or she shall have first read this Order, agreed to

15

be bound by its terms, and signed the attached Declaration of Compliance.

16

7.

All persons receiving any or all documents produced pursuant to this Order shall

17

be advised of their confidential nature. All persons to whom confidential information and/or

18

documents are disclosed are hereby enjoined from disclosing same to any person except as

19

provided herein, and are further enjoined from using same except in the preparation for and trial

20

of the above-captioned action between the named parties thereto. No person receiving or

21

reviewing such confidential documents, information or transcript shall disseminate or disclose

22

them to any person other than those described above in Paragraph 5 and for the purposes

23

specified, and in no event shall such person make any other use of such document or transcript.

24
25
26
27

8.

Nothing in this Order shall prevent a party from using at trial any information or

materials designated “Confidential.”
9.

This Order has been agreed to by the parties to facilitate discovery and the

production of relevant evidence in this action. Neither the entry of this Order, nor the

28
3 of 7

1

designation of any information, document, or the like as “Confidential,” nor the failure to make

2

such designation, shall constitute evidence with respect to any issue in this action.

3

10.

Within sixty (60) days after the final termination of this litigation, all documents,

4

transcripts, or other materials afforded confidential treatment pursuant to this Order, including

5

any extracts, summaries or compilations taken therefrom, but excluding any materials which in

6

the good faith judgment of counsel are work product materials, shall be returned to the Producing

7

Party.

8
9

11.

In the event that any party to this litigation disagrees at any point in these

proceedings with any designation made under this Protective Order, the parties shall first try to

10

resolve such dispute in good faith on an informal basis. If the dispute cannot be resolved, the

11

party objecting to the designation may seek appropriate relief from this Court. During the

12

pendency of any challenge to the designation of a document or information, the designated

13

document or information shall continue to be treated as “Confidential” subject to the provisions

14

of this Protective Order.

15

12.

Nothing herein shall affect or restrict the rights of any party with respect to its

16

own documents or to the information obtained or developed independently of documents,

17

transcripts and materials afforded confidential treatment pursuant to this Order.
