4
5
8.
Nothing in this Order shall prevent a party from using at trial any information or
materials designated “Confidential.”
6
9.
This Order has been agreed to by the parties to facilitate discovery and the
7
production of relevant evidence in this action. Neither the entry of this Order, nor the
8
designation of any information, document, or the like as “Confidential,” nor the failure to make
9
such designation, shall constitute evidence with respect to any issue in this action.
10
10.
Within sixty (60) days after the final termination of this litigation, all documents,
11
transcripts, or other materials afforded confidential treatment pursuant to this Order, including
12
any extracts, summaries or compilations taken therefrom, but excluding any materials which in
13
the good faith judgment of counsel are work product materials, shall be returned to the Producing
14
Party.
15
11.
In the event that any party to this litigation disagrees at any point in these
16
proceedings with any designation made under this Protective Order, the parties shall first try to
17
resolve such dispute in good faith on an informal basis. If the dispute cannot be resolved, the
18
party objecting to the designation may seek appropriate relief from this Court. During the
19
pendency of any challenge to the designation of a document or information, the designated
20
document or information shall continue to be treated as “Confidential” subject to the provisions
21
of this Protective Order.
22
