LLC (“Defendants”) (collectively as “the Parties”), by and through their counsel of
2
record, as follows:
3
WHEREAS, documents and information have been and may be sought,
4
produced or exhibited by and among the parties to this action relating to trade secrets,
5
confidential research, development, technology or other proprietary information
6
belonging to the defendants and/or personal income, credit and other confidential
7
information of Plaintiff.
THEREFORE, an Order of this Court protecting such confidential information
8
9
10
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,
11
testimony or information produced or given in this action which are designated
12
to be subject to this Order in accordance with the terms hereof.
13
2.
Any party or non-party producing or filing documents or other materials in this
14
action may designate such materials and the information contained therein
15
subject to this Order by typing or stamping on the front of the document, or on
16
the portion(s) of the document for which confidential treatment is designated,
17
“Confidential.”
18
3.
To the extent any motions, briefs, pleadings, deposition transcripts, or other
19
papers to be filed with the Court incorporate documents or information subject
20
to this Order, the party filing such papers shall designate such materials, or
21
portions thereof, as “Confidential,” and shall file them with the clerk under seal;

2
indirectly, by any Party, for commercial or competitive purposes or for any
3

4
in accordance with the provisions of this Order.
5
5.
All depositions or portions of depositions taken in this action that contain

7
obtain the protections accorded other confidential information. The parties shall
8
have twenty-one (21) days from the date a deposition is taken, or fourteen (14)
9
days from the date a deposition transcript is received, whichever date is greater,
10
to serve a notice to all parties designating portions as “Confidential.” Until such
11
time, all deposition testimony shall be treated as confidential information. To
12
the extent any designations are made on the record during the deposition, the
13
designating party need not serve a notice re-designating those portions of the
14
transcript as confidential information. Any party may challenge any such
15
designation in accordance with Paragraph 14 of this Order.

24
parties to this litigation; (c) counsel for the parties, whether retained counsel or
25
in-house counsel and employees of counsel assigned to assist such counsel in
26
the preparation of this litigation; (d) fact witnesses subject to a proffer to the

7.
Documents produced pursuant to this Order shall not be made available to any
6
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
8
of Compliance.

Third parties who are the subject of discovery requests, subpoenas or
10
depositions in this case may take advantage of the provisions of this Protective
11
Order by providing the parties with written notice that they intend to comply
12
with and be bound by the terms of this Protective Order.
13
9.
All persons receiving any or all documents produced pursuant to this Order
14
shall be advised of their confidential nature. All persons to whom confidential
15
information and/or documents are disclosed are hereby enjoined from
16
disclosing same to any person except as provided herein, and are further
17
enjoined from using same except in the preparation for and trial of the above-
18
captioned action between the named parties thereto. No person receiving or
19
reviewing such confidential documents, information or transcript shall
20
disseminate or disclose them to any person other than those described above in
21
Paragraph 6 and for the purposes specified, and in no event, shall such person
22
make any other use of such document or transcript.

or materials designated “Confidential.”
24
25
Nothing in this Order shall prevent a party from using at trial any information
11.
This Order has been agreed to by the parties to facilitate discovery and the
26
production of relevant evidence in this action. Neither the entry of this Order,
27
nor the designation of any information, document, or the like as “Confidential,”

nor the failure to make such designation, shall constitute evidence with respect
2
to any issue in this action.
3
12.
Inadvertent failure to designate any document, transcript, or other materials
4
“Confidential” will not constitute a waiver of an otherwise valid claim of
5
confidentiality pursuant to this Order, so long as a claim of confidentiality is
6
promptly asserted after discovery of the inadvertent failure. If a party
7
designates a document as “Confidential” after it was initially produced, the
8
receiving party, on notification of the designation, must make a reasonable
9
effort to assure that the document is treated in accordance with the provisions
10
of this Order, and upon request from the producing party certify that the
11
designated documents have been maintained as confidential information. The
12
designating party shall have the burden of proving that any document
13
designated as CONFIDENTIAL is entitled to such protection.
14
13.
Within sixty (60) days after the final termination of this litigation, all
15
documents, transcripts, or other materials afforded confidential treatment
16
pursuant to this Order, including any extracts, summaries or compilations taken
17
therefrom, but excluding any materials which in the good faith judgment of
18
counsel are work product materials, shall be returned to the Producing Party.

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

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
24
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
