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

other papers to be filed with the Court incorporate documents or information subject to
22
this Order, the party filing such papers shall designate such materials, or portions thereof,

13

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
11
production of relevant evidence in this action. Neither the entry of this Order, nor the
12
designation of any information, document, or the like as “Confidential,” nor the failure to
13
make such designation, shall constitute evidence with respect to any issue in this action.
14
10.
After this litigation has concluded by settlement, final judgment, or final
15
order, including all appeals, the non-producing party shall return to the producing party
16
all documents designated as containing “Confidential,” including copies as defined
17
above, within 30-days of receiving a written request from the producing party. The non-
18
producing party is not required to return (1) documents offered into evidence or filed
19
without restriction as to disclosure; (2) materials which in the good faith judgment of
20
counsel are work product materials; (3) communications from Plaintiff to Defendant; (4)
21
consumer file disclosures to Plaintiff that were generated by Defendants; or (5)
22
communications from Defendants to Plaintiff regarding Defendant’s reinvestigations. In
23
lieu of return, the parties may agree to destroy the documents, with certification of
24
destruction. In the event that any party to this litigation disagrees at any point in these
25
proceedings with any designation made under this Protective Order, the parties shall first
26
try to resolve such dispute in good faith on an informal basis. If the dispute cannot be
27
resolved, the party objecting to the designation may seek appropriate relief from this
4
Case 2:17-cv-00163-APG-CWH Document 23 Filed 05/03/17 Page 5 of 7

Court. During the pendency of any challenge to the designation of a document or
2
information, the designated document or information shall continue to be treated as
3
“Confidential” subject to the provisions of this Protective Order.
11.
4
Nothing herein shall affect or restrict the rights of any party with respect
5
to its own documents or to the information obtained or developed independently of
6
documents, transcripts and materials afforded confidential treatment pursuant to this
7
Order.
