IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between Plaintiff DRAKE COLLIER

26

(“Plaintiff”), and Defendants TRANS UNION, LLC and EXPERIAN INFORMATION
SOLUTIONS, INC., (“Defendants”), by and through their counsel of record, as follows:

Case 2:17-cv-01486-APG-PAL Document 14 Filed 07/12/17 Page 2 of 8

1

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

2

exhibited by and among the parties to this action relating to trade secrets, confidential research,

3

development, technology or other proprietary information belonging to the defendants and/or

4
personal income, credit and other confidential information of Plaintiff.
5

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,

9
testimony or information produced or given in this action which are designated to be subject to
10
this Order in accordance with the terms hereof.
11
12
13
14
15
16

2.

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

action may designate such materials and the information contained therein subject to this Order
by typing or stamping on the front of the document, or on the portion(s) of the document for
which confidential treatment is designated, “Confidential.”
3.

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

17

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

18

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

19

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

20

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

21

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

22

4.

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

23

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

24

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

25

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

26

Defendants for any business, commercial or competitive purposes or for any purpose whatsoever

27

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

28

this Order.

5.

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

confidential information may be designated as “Confidential” and thereby obtain the protections
accorded other confidential information. The parties shall have twenty-one (21) days from the
date a deposition is taken, or fourteen (14) days from the date a deposition transcript is received,
whichever is greater, to serve a notice to all parties designating portions as “Confidential.” Until

6
such time, all deposition testimony shall be treated as confidential information. To the extent
7
any designations are made on the record during the deposition, the designating party need not
8
9
10
11
12
13

serve a notice re-designating those portions of the transcript as confidential information. Any
party may challenge any such designation in accordance with Paragraph 14 of this Order.
6.

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

14

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

15

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

16

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

17

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

18

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

19

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

20

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

21

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

22

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

23

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

24

consultants or expert witnesses in connection with this litigation.

25

7.

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

26

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

27

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

28

terms of this Protective Order.

8.

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

person designated in Subparagraph 6(f) unless he or she shall have first read this Order, agreed to
be bound by its terms, and signed the attached Declaration of Compliance.

4
5

9.

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

6

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

7

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

8

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

9

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

No person receiving or

10

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

11

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

12

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

13
14
15
16
17
18

10.

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

production of relevant evidence in this action.

Neither the entry of this Order, nor the

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

19
such designation, shall constitute evidence with respect to any issue in this action.
20
21

12.

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

22

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

23

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

24

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

25

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

26

to assure that the document is treated in accordance with the provisions of this Order, and upon

27
28

request from the producing party certify that the designated documents have been maintained as

Case 2:17-cv-01486-APG-PAL Document 14 Filed 07/12/17 Page 5 of 8

confidential information.

13.

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

documents, transcripts, or other materials afforded confidential treatment pursuant to this Order,
including any extracts, summaries or compilations taken therefrom, but excluding any materials
which in the good faith judgment of counsel are work product materials, shall be returned to the

6
Producing Party. In lieu of return, the parties may agree to destroy the documents, to the extent
7
practicable.

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
resolve such dispute in good faith on an informal basis. If the dispute cannot be resolved, the
party objecting to the designation may seek appropriate relief from this Court. During the
pendency of any challenge to the designation of a document or information, the designated

14

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

15

of this Protective Order.
15.

16

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

17

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

18

transcripts and materials afforded confidential treatment pursuant to this Order.
