SCOPE

5

The protections conferred by this Order cover not only Protected Material (as defined

7

excerpts, summaries, or compilations of Protected Material; and (3) any testimony, conversations,

8

or presentations by Parties or their Counsel that might reveal Protected Material.

9

4.

DURATION

10

Even after final disposition of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations imposed by

11

this Order shall remain in effect until a Designating Party agrees otherwise in writing or a court

12

order otherwise directs. Final disposition shall be deemed to be the administrative closure of the

13

instant litigation.

15

DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
5.1.

Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in this Order

16

(see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.1(a) below), or as otherwise stipulated or ordered,

17

Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection under this Order must be clearly so

18

designated before the material is disclosed or produced.

19

Designation in conformity with this Order requires:

20

(a)

For information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic documents,

21

but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that the Producing

22

Party affix the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” to each page that contains protected material. To the

23

extent it is practicable to do so, if only a portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for

24

protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making

25

appropriate markings in the margins).

26

A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents or materials available for

27

inspection need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated

28

which material it would like copied and produced.
4927-0030-4660

-4-

During the inspection and before the

1

designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.”

2

After the inspecting Party has identified the documents it wants copied and produced, the

3

Producing Party must determine which documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection under

4

this Order. Then, before producing the specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the

5

“CONFIDENTIAL” legend to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a portion or

6

portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly

7

identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins).

8

(b)

for testimony given in deposition or in other pretrial or trial proceedings, that

9

the Designating Party identify on the record, before the close of the deposition, hearing, or other

10

proceeding, all protected testimony. When it is impractical to identify separately each portion of

11

testimony that is entitled to protection, a Party or the Designating Party may invoke on the record

12

(before the deposition, hearing, or other proceeding is concluded) a right to have up to 30 days

13

after receipt of the final transcript of the testimony in which to identify the specific portions of the

14

testimony as to which protection is sought. Only those portions of the testimony that are

15

appropriately designated for protection within the 30 days shall be covered by the provisions of

16

this Order. Alternatively, a Designating Party may specify, at the deposition, or up to 30 days after

17

receipt of the final transcript of the testimony if that right is properly invoked, that the entire

18

transcript shall be treated as “CONFIDENTIAL.”

19

Parties shall give the other Parties notice if they reasonably expect a deposition,

20

hearing, or other proceeding to include Protected Material so that the other Parties can ensure that

21

only authorized individuals who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound”

22

(Exhibit A) are present at those proceedings. The use of a document as an exhibit at a deposition

23

shall not in any way affect its designation as “CONFIDENTIAL.”

24

Transcripts containing Protected Material shall have an obvious legend on the title

25

page that the transcript contains Protected Material, and the title page shall be followed by a list

26

of all pages (including line numbers as appropriate) that have been designated as Protected

27

Material by the Designating Party. The Designating Party shall inform the court reporter of these

28

requirements. Any transcript that is prepared before the expiration of the 30-day period for
4927-0030-4660

-5-

1

designation shall be treated during that period as if it had been designated “CONFIDENTIAL” in

2

its entirety unless otherwise agreed. After the expiration of the 30-day period, the transcript shall

3

be treated only as actually designated.

4

(c)

5

other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the exterior of the

6

container or containers in which the information or item is stored the legend “CONFIDENTIAL.”

7

If only a portion or portions of the information or item warrant protection, the Producing Party, to

8

the extent practicable, shall identify the protected portion(s).

Snell & Wilmer

for information produced in some form other than documentary and for any

(d)

for information requiring production in native or non-documentary

10

electronic form (e.g., database records or spreadsheets): by its nature, certain electronic

11

information is impracticable to designate for confidentiality on a document or item by item basis.

12

In such instances, the Producing Party shall therefore affix in a prominent place on the exterior of

13

the container or containers within which the electronic information is stored or transmitted (e.g., a

14

physical CDROM or hard disk drive) the legend “CONFIDENTIAL.” The Receiving Party shall

15

mark any documents it prints from such designated files “CONFIDENTIAL” as designated and

16

treat them as such, in accordance with the provisions of this Order.

17

5.2.

Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent failure to

18

designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive the Designating Party’s

19

right to secure protection under this Order for such material. Upon timely correction of a

20

designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable efforts to assure that the material is treated

21

in accordance with the provisions of this Order.

22

6.

23

CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
6.1.

Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a designation of

24

confidentiality at any time. Unless a prompt challenge to a Designating Party’s confidentiality

25

designation is necessary to avoid foreseeable, substantial unfairness, unnecessary economic

26

burdens, or a significant disruption or delay of the litigation, a Party does not waive its right to

27

challenge a confidentiality designation by electing not to mount a challenge promptly after the

28

original designation is disclosed.

6.2.

Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute resolution process

2

by providing written notice of each designation it is challenging and describing the basis for each

3

challenge. To avoid ambiguity as to whether a challenge has been made, the written notice must

4

recite that the challenge to confidentiality is being made in accordance with this specific paragraph

5

of this Order. The Parties shall attempt to resolve each challenge in good faith and must begin the

6

process by conferring directly (in voice-to-voice dialogue; other forms of communication are not

7

sufficient) within 14 days of the date of service of notice. In conferring, the Challenging Party

8

must explain the basis for its belief that the confidentiality designation was not proper and must

9

give the Designating Party an opportunity to review the designated material, to reconsider the

10

circumstances, and, if no change in designation is offered, to explain the basis for the chosen

11

designation. A Challenging Party may proceed to the next stage of the challenge process only if

12

it has engaged in this meet and confer process first or establishes that the Designating Party is

13

unwilling to participate in the meet and confer process in a timely manner.

14

6.3.

Judicial Intervention. Any dispute regarding designation of confidential material

15

disclosed during discovery must be resolved in accordance with the Court’s 12/18/24 Standing

16

Order (ECF No. 23). Additional information regarding the filing of redacted materials is discussed

17

in Section 13.3 below.

18

7.

19

ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
7.1.

Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is disclosed or

20

produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this case only for prosecuting,

21

defending, or attempting to settle this litigation. Such Protected Material may be disclosed only

22

to the categories of persons and under the conditions described in this Order. When this litigation

23

has been terminated, a Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of Section 14 below

24

(FINAL DISPOSITION).

25
26
27
28

Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a location and in
a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons authorized under this Order.
7.2.

Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless otherwise ordered

by the Court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a Receiving Party may disclose any

authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this action to disobey a lawful directive from

13

another court.

A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE PRODUCED IN

15

THIS LITIGATION

16

(a)

The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a Non-

17

Party in this action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information produced by Non-

18

20

additional protections.

possession or control that is subject to the confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a

11

determination by the Court. Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the

12

burden and expense of seeking protection in this Court of its Protected Material.

10.

UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

1

Party or Non-Party, pursuant to Rule 502(d) of the Federal Rules of Evidence, such production or

2

disclosure shall in no way prejudice or otherwise constitute a waiver of, or estoppel as to, any

3

claim of privilege or immunity for such Discovery Material or other information. Discovery

4

Material or other information subject to a claim of privilege or immunity must be returned,

5

sequestered, or destroyed as soon as it is discovered, without any need to show the production was

6

inadvertent. The Receiving Party shall not use the inadvertently produced Discovery Material or

7

other information for any purpose other than in connection with a motion to compel production in

8

this matter.

9

Upon request by the Producing Party pursuant to this Section, the Receiving Party shall

10

immediately return, sequester, or destroy all copies of such document(s) or thing(s) and shall

11

return, sequester, or destroy any newly created derivative document such as a summary or

12

comment on the inadvertently produced information. The Receiving Party may then move the

13

Court for an order compelling production of such information, but the motion shall not assert as a

14

ground for production the fact or circumstances of the inadvertent production. If a claim is

15

disputed, the Receiving Party shall not use or disclose any Discovery Material or other information

16

for which a claim of privilege or immunity is made pursuant to this Section for any purpose or

17

until the matter is resolved by agreement of the Parties or by a decision of the Court.

REDACTIONS ALLOWED

19

Any Producing Party may redact from Discovery Material matter that the Producing Party

20

claims is (i) Privileged Material; (ii) Foreign Private Data; (iii) information subject to 12 C.F.R. §

21

21.11(k)(1)(i) and/or 31 U.S.C. 5318(g)(2)(A)(i); (iv) other sensitive, Confidential Information

22

that is non-responsive and irrelevant to the issues in the action but is included in otherwise

23

responsive documents. The Producing Party shall mark each redaction with a legend stating

24

“REDACTED” and specify the basis for the redaction as appropriate, or a comparable notice.

25

Where a document consists of more than one page, at least each page on which information has

26

been redacted shall be so marked. If counsel for the Producing Party agrees or if the Court orders

27

that Discovery Material initially redacted shall not be subject to redaction or shall receive

28

alternative treatment, and the Discovery Material is subsequently produced in unredacted form,
4927-0030-4660

- 11 -

1

then that unredacted Discovery Material shall continue to receive the protections and treatment

2

afforded to documents bearing the confidentiality designation assigned to it by the Producing

3

Party. Foreign Private Data and information subject to 12 C.F.R. § 21.11(k)(1)(i) and/or 31 U.S.C.

4

5318(g)(2)(A)(i) shall be redacted from any public filing not filed under seal. The right to

5

challenge and process for challenging the designation of redactions shall be the same as the right

6

to challenge and process for challenging the designation of Confidential Information as set forth

7

in Section 6.
