principles. The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 9 below, that this Stipulated

6

Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential information under seal; Local Rule

Each Party to this litigation that produces or discloses any materials, answers to

transcripts of trial testimony and depositions, or other materials and/or information that the

16

Producing Party believes should be subject to this Order may designate the same as

17

“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.”

18

a.

Designation as “CONFIDENTIAL”:

Any Party may designate

19

information as “CONFIDENTIAL” only if, in the good faith belief of such Party and its

20

attorneys, the unrestricted disclosure of such material could be potentially prejudicial to the

21

business or operations of such Party. Other than as provided for herein, a Party may designate

22

material as “CONFIDENTIAL” by designating it as such prior to producing it to opposing counsel.

23

b.

Designation as “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES

24

ONLY”: Any Party may designate information as “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’

25

EYES ONLY” only if, in the good faith belief of such party and its attorneys, the material

26

information, bidding information, business plans, marketing plans, sales forecasts, information

28

protected by a right of privacy, or trade secrets. Other than as provided for herein, a Party may
Page 4 of 14

Case 2:17-cv-01522-JCM-CWH Document 28 Filed 05/09/18 Page 5 of 14

1

designate material as “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEY’S EYES ONLY” by designating

2

it as such prior to producing it to opposing counsel.

3

15.

In the event the Producing Party elects to initially produce or disclose materials

4

for inspection by a Receiving Party (as opposed to the physical production of such materials), no

5

marking need be made by the Producing Party in advance of the initial inspection. For purposes

6

of the initial inspection, all materials produced shall be considered as “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL

7

– ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” and shall be treated as such pursuant to the terms of this Order.

8

Thereafter, upon selection of specified materials for copying by or other physical production to

9

the Receiving Party, the Producing Party shall, within a reasonable time prior to producing those

10

materials to the Receiving Party, mark the copies of those materials that contain Confidential

11

Information with the appropriate confidentiality marking. Materials may also be produced in

12

the first instance with confidentiality markings.

13

16.

For documents (apart from transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial

14

proceedings), the Producing Party shall affix the appropriate confidentiality legend to each page

15

that contains Confidential Information.

16

17.

For Disclosures other than documents, and for any other tangible items, the

17

Producing Party shall affix, in a prominent place on the exterior of the container or containers in

18

which the material or item is stored, the appropriate confidentiality legend. In the event a

19

Receiving Party generates any “hard copy” transcription or printout from any designated non-

20

paper media (including, but not limited to, documents produced in native electronic format),

21

such Receiving Party must stamp each page with the appropriate confidentiality legend, and the

22

hard copy, transcription, or printout shall be treated as it is designated.

23

18.

For materials disclosed orally in the context of settlement or other

24

communications between the parties, it shall be sufficient for the Producing Party to identify the

25

information as Confidential Information pursuant to the terms of this Order during the course of

26

the oral communication or promptly thereafter, provided that, written confirmation of the

27

particular designation is made by the Producing Party promptly following the oral

28

2

apply.

19.

Whenever a deposition taken on behalf of any Party involves a disclosure of

Confidential Information of any Party:

5

said deposition or portions thereof shall be designated as containing

6

Confidential Information subject to the provisions of this Order; such designation shall be made

on the record whenever possible, but a Party may designate portions of depositions as

8

containing Confidential Information after transcription of the proceedings; if a Party reserves

9

the right on the record, that Party shall have until fourteen (14) calendar days after receipt of the

10

deposition transcript to inform the other Party or Parties to the action of the portions of the

11

transcript designated “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’

12

EYES ONLY”;

13

b.

the Producing Party shall have the right to exclude from attendance at

14

said deposition, during such time as the Confidential Information is to be disclosed, any person

15

other than the deponent, attorneys (including their staff and associates), the court reporter, and the

16

person(s) agreed upon pursuant to paragraphs 20-23 below; and

17

c.

the originals of said deposition transcripts and all copies thereof

18

shall bear the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’

19

EYES ONLY,” as appropriate, and shall be separately bound according to the portions of the

20

transcript bearing each such designation, and should the original or any copy thereof ultimately

21

22

identified as being subject to this Order, and protected from being opened except by order of this

23

Court.

CONFIDENTIAL-

All Confidential Information shall be held in confidence by those inspecting or

25

receiving it, and shall be used only for purposes of this action. The attorneys for each Party, and

26

each person receiving Confidential Information, shall take reasonable precautions to prevent the

27

unauthorized or inadvertent disclosure of such information. If Confidential Information is

28

disclosed to any person other than a person authorized by this Order, the Party responsible for the
Page 9 of 14

Case 2:17-cv-01522-JCM-CWH Document 28 Filed 05/09/18 Page 10 of 14

1

unauthorized disclosure must immediately bring all pertinent facts relating to the unauthorized

2

disclosure to the attention of the other Parties and, without prejudice to any rights and remedies

3

of the other parties, make every effort to prevent further disclosure by the Party and by the

4

person(s) receiving the unauthorized disclosure.

5

28.

If a Party, through inadvertence, produces any Confidential Information without

6

labeling or marking or otherwise designating it as such in accordance with this Order, the

7

Producing Party may give written notice to the Receiving Party that the document or thing

8

produced is deemed Confidential Information, and that the document or thing produced should be

9

treated as such in accordance with that designation under this Order. The Receiving Party must

10

treat the materials as confidential once the Producing Party so notifies the Receiving Party. The

11

Producing Party must promptly provide the Receiving Party with replacement materials that bear

12

the appropriate confidentiality markings, and the Receiving Party shall, in return, provide prompt

13

confirmation of the destruction of the replaced materials. If the Receiving Party has disclosed the

14

materials before receiving the designation, the Receiving Party must notify the Producing Party in

15

writing of each such disclosure to the extent reasonably possible and reasonably cooperate with

16

the Producing Party in attempting to retrieve them and halt their further dissemination.

17

29.

Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of any Party to object to the production of

18

any Discovery Material on the grounds that the material is protected as privileged or as work

19

product.

20

30.

Nothing in this Order shall bar the attorneys from rendering advice to their clients

21

with respect to this litigation and, in the course thereof, relying upon any information

22

designated as Confidential Information, provided that the contents of the information shall not

23

be disclosed in violation of this Order.

24

31.

This Order shall be without prejudice to the right of any Party to oppose

25

production of any information for lack of relevance or any other ground other than the mere

26

presence of Confidential Information. The existence of this Order shall not be used by any Party

27

as a basis for discovery that is otherwise not proper under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

32.

Nothing herein shall be construed to prevent disclosure of Confidential

2

Information if such disclosure is required by subpoena, court order or any other legal obligation.

3

Should a Party be required by law, including 37 CFR 1.56, or by order of the Court to disclose

4

Confidential Information, notice should be provided to the Producing Party prior to any such

5

disclosure. The Producing Party shall have seven (7) calendar days from the date of the notice

6

to object to any disclosure of the Confidential Information. If the Producing Party makes a

7

timely objection, the Receiving Party shall not produce the Confidential Information absent a

8

court order. However, the burden shall be on the objecting Producing Party to seek protection

9

relating to the commanded disclosure in a timely manner. If the Producing Party fails to take

10
11

such action, it shall be deemed to have waived its objection to the commanded disclosure.
33.

The restrictions and obligations herein do not apply to nor prevent a Party from

12

offering into evidence and referring to any documents or information at trial that may have been

13

designated as Confidential Information.

14

34.

Within thirty (30) calendar days of final termination of this action, including any

15

and all appeals, attorneys for the Receiving Party shall either return the Protected Material to

16

the Producing Party, including any copies, excerpts, and summaries thereof, or shall destroy

17

same at the option of the Receiving Party, and shall purge all such material from all machine-

18

readable media on which it resides. Notwithstanding the foregoing, attorneys for each party

19

may retain all pleadings, briefs, memoranda, motions, and other documents filed with the Court

20

that refer to or incorporate information designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” and “HIGHLY

21

CONFIDENTIAL- ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” and will continue to be bound by this Order

22

with respect to all such retained material. Further, attorney work product materials that contain

23

Confidential Information need not be destroyed, but, if they are not destroyed, the person in

24

possession of the attorney work product will continue to be bound by this Order with respect to

25

all such retained Confidential Information.  The provisions of this Stipulated Protective Order

26

shall survive the termination of this action, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties or ordered by

27

the Court. The Court retains jurisdiction even after termination of this action to enforce this

28

Order and to make such deletions from or amendments, modifications, and additions to the
Page 11 of 14

Case 2:17-cv-01522-JCM-CWH Document 28 Filed 05/09/18 Page 12 of 14

1

Order as the Court may deem appropriate. The Parties hereto reserve all rights to apply to the

2

Court at any time, before or after termination of this action, for an order modifying this Order

3

seeking further protection against disclosure or use of claimed confidential information.

4

35.

Regardless of designation, the restrictions and obligations set forth herein shall

5

not apply to any information that:

6

a.

the Parties agree should not be designated Confidential Information;

b.

the Parties agree, or the Court rules, is already public knowledge;

c.

the Parties agree, or the Court rules, has become public knowledge other

7
8
9
10

than as a result of disclosure by the Receiving Party, its employees, or its agents in violation of

11

this Order; or

12

d.

has come or shall come into the Receiving Party’s legitimate knowledge

13

independently of and/or prior to the production by the Producing Party as demonstrated by pre-

14

production documentation.

15

36.

The restrictions and obligations herein shall not be deemed to prohibit discussions of

16

any Confidential Information with anyone if that person already has or obtains legitimate

17

possession thereof.

18

37.

If material is produced in discovery that is subject to a claim of privilege or of

19

protection as trial preparation or work product material (“privilege”), the Party making the

20

claim may notify any Receiving Party of the claim for privilege and the basis for it. In

21

accordance with Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d)-(e), such a production or disclosure does not

22

operate as a waiver of any privilege associated with any such production or disclosure. After

23

being notified by a Party claiming privilege that material produced by that Party is subject to a

24

claim of privilege, a Receiving Party (a) must promptly return or destroy the specified material

25

and any copies it has, (b) must not sequester, use, or disclose the material until the claim is

26

resolved, and (c) must take reasonable steps to retrieve the material if the Party disclosed it

27

before being notified. These obligations include a restriction against presenting the material to

28

the Court for a determination of the claim. The Party making the claim must serve a privilege

log that complies with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(5) within fourteen (14) calendar

2

days of notifying any Receiving Party of the claim. The party making the claim must also

3

preserve the material until the claim is resolved. The matter shall be resolved on the basis of

4

the information set forth in the privilege log and in accordance with the standards, laws, and

5

rules pertaining to the privilege(s) claimed. This paragraph 37 expressly incorporates the

6

protections of Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d)-(e). Specifically, pursuant to Federal Rule of

7
