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,

12

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

18

3.

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

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

20

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

21

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

22

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

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

5

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

6

provisions of this Order.

7

5.

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,

9

any 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

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

consultants or expert witnesses in connection with this litigation.

21

6.

23

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

24

7.

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

25

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

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

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

5
6

8.

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

materials designated “Confidential.”

7

9.

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

8

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

9

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

10

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

11

10.

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

12

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

13

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

14

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

15

Party.

16

11.

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

17

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

18

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

19

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

20

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

21

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

22

of this Protective Order.

23

12.

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

24

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

25

transcripts and materials afforded confidential treatment pursuant to this Order.
