IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between Plaintiff ZACHARY J. P.
BAGDASARIAN (“Plaintiff”) and Defendants WELLS FARGO CARD SERVICES and
TRANS UNION, LLC, (collectively, the “Parties”), by and through their counsel of record, as
follows:
WHEREAS, documents and information have been and may be sought, produced or
exhibited by and among the parties to this action relating to trade secrets, confidential research,
development, technology or other proprietary information belonging to the defendants and/or
personal income, credit and other confidential information of Plaintiff.
THEREFORE, an Order of this Court protecting such confidential information shall be
and hereby is made by this Court on the following terms:

1

1.

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

2

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

3

this Order in accordance with the terms hereof.

4

2.

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

5

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

6

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

7

which confidential treatment is designated, “Confidential.”

8

3.

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

9

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

10

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

11

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

12

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

13

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

14

4.

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

15

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

16

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

17

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

18

Defendants WELLS FARGO CARD SERVICES and TRANS UNION, LLC, commercial or

19

competitive purposes or for any purpose whatsoever other than solely for the preparation and

20

trial of this action in accordance with the provisions of this Order.

21

5.

All depositions or portions of depositions taken in this action that contain

22

confidential information may be designated as “Confidential” and thereby obtain the protections

23

accorded other confidential information. The parties shall have twenty-one (21) days from the

24

date a deposition is taken, or fourteen (14) days from the date a deposition transcript is received,

25

whichever date is greater, to serve a notice to all parties designating portions as “Confidential.”

26

Until such time, all deposition testimony shall be treated as confidential information. To the

27

extent any designations are made on the record during the deposition, the designating party need

28
2 of 7

1

not serve a notice re-designating those portions of the transcript as confidential information.

2

Any party may challenge any such designation in accordance with Paragraph 14 of this Order.

3

6.

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

4

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

5

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

6

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

7

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

8

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

9

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

10

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

11

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

12

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

13

to know such information; (e) present or former employees of the producing party in connection

14

with their depositions in this action (provided that no former employees shall be shown

15

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

16

consultants or expert witnesses in connection with this litigation.

17

7.

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

18

person designated in Subparagraph 6 (f) unless he or she shall have first read this Order, agreed

19

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

20

8.

Third parties who are the subject of discovery requests, subpoenas or

21

depositions in this case may take advantage of the provisions of this Protective Order by

22

providing the parties with written notice that they intend to comply with and be bound by the

23

terms of this Protective Order.

24

9.

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

26

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

27

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

28
3 of 7

1

of the above-captioned action between the named parties thereto.

2

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

3

them to any person other than those described above in Paragraph 6 and for the purposes

4

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

5
6
7

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

8

production of relevant evidence in this action.

9

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

10
11

Neither the entry of this Order, nor the

such designation, shall constitute evidence with respect to any issue in this action.
12.

Inadvertent failure to designate any document, transcript, or other materials

12

“Confidential” will not constitute a waiver of an otherwise valid claim of confidentiality

13

pursuant to this Order, so long as a claim of confidentiality is promptly asserted after discovery

14

of the inadvertent failure. If a party designates a document as “Confidential” after it was

15

initially produced, the receiving party, on notification of the designation, must make a

16

reasonable effort to assure that the document is treated in accordance with the provisions of

17

this Order, and upon request from the producing party certify that the designated documents

18

have been maintained as confidential information. The designating party shall have the

19

burden of proving that any document designated as CONFIDENTIAL is entitled to such

20

protection.

21

13.

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

22

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

23

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

24

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

25

Party. In lieu of return, the parties may agree to destroy the documents, to the extent practicable.

26
27

14.

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

28
4 of 7

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

of this Protective Order.

6

15.

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

7

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

8

transcripts and materials afforded confidential treatment pursuant to this Order.

The Court retains the right to allow disclosure of any subject covered by this

stipulation or to modify this stipulation at any time in the interest of justice.
IT IS SO STIPULATED.
