This matter is before the court on motion for protective order (460 DE 1553, 463 DE 1544),
filed by plaintiff Consolidation Coal Company and crossclaim/third-party plaintiff PCS Phosphate
Company, Inc. (collectively “plaintiffs”). Third-party defendant Truland Corporation (“Truland”)
filed a response in opposition. In this posture the issues raised are ripe for ruling. For the reasons
that follow, plaintiffs’ motion is granted in part as set forth herein.
BACKGROUND
As pertinent to the present motion, on August 5, 2010, this court entered a consent protective
order and stipulation of confidentiality providing for designation of materials produced in discovery
in this action as “CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEY’S EYES ONLY,” where the materials are

“determined by the Producing Party, acting in good faith, to be non-public and to be confidential
business or technical information.” (DE 349, ¶1).1 The protective order provides a mechanism by
which a party “may challenge such designation by notifying the Designating Party in writing at any
time prior to thirty (30) days before the first deadline for exhibit lists to be submitted by any party.”
(Id. ¶9). “The Designating Party must then seek a protective order from the Court for such
documents, information or tangible items.” (Id.).
The protective order further states that “[n]othing in this Protective Order shall restrict or
prohibit a party from seeking protections in addition to those set forth in this Protective Order for
a particular document(s) or for particular testimony given in this action.” (Id. ¶22). On September
30, 2013, the court extended the August 5, 2010, protective order to apply to all third-party
defendants. (DE 1326).
On July 3, 2014, in discovery in this matter, plaintiffs disclosed Mr. David Mauro, a chemist,
as their expert on PCBs in mineral oil transformers. (DE 1558-1). In his expert report, Mauro relied
upon and referenced two publications at issue in the present motion, which were published by the
Electric Power Research Institute, Inc. (“EPRI”): (1) a 2009 report titled “Changes to PCB
Congeners in Dielectric Fluids in Use” (the “2009 EPRI Report”) and (2) a 2012 report titled
“Predicting the Potential Polychlorinated Biphenyl (PCB) Concentration in Electrical Equipment”
(the “2012 EPRI Report”) (collectively, the “EPRI Reports”). (See, e.g., DE 1558-1, pp. 30-31).
On November 10, 2014, prior to deposition of Mr. Mauro, plaintiffs produced in discovery
in this matter, under the designation “CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEY’S EYES ONLY,” copies
of the EPRI Reports, by making them available for download or on disc. (DE 1554-6, pp. 3-4). On
1
Henceforth in this order, unless otherwise noted, all citations to the record are to documents filed in Case
5:08-CV-460-FL, although the same documents were filed also in Case No. 5:08-CV-463-FL.

2

November 14, 2014, at the deposition of Mauro, Truland’s counsel discussed the EPRI Reports
during deposition questioning. (DE 1558-3). On December 5, 2014, Truland’s counsel sent a letter
to counsel for Consolidation Coal Company challenging the designation of the EPRI Reports as
“CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEY’S EYES ONLY,” and requesting that the designation be
removed. (DE 1554-7, pp. 2-3).
On January 2, 2015, plaintiffs filed their motion for protective order, pursuant to paragraph
9 of the court’s August 5, 2010, protective order, seeking a protective order designating all copies
of the EPRI Reports produced by plaintiffs as “CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEY’S EYES ONLY.”
(DE 1553, p. 2). Truland filed its opposition on January 16, 2015.
COURT’S DISCUSSION
Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c), “[t]he court may, for good cause, issue
an order to protect a party or person from annoyance, embarrassment, oppression, or undue burden
or expense, including one or more of the following: . . . requiring that a trade secret or other
confidential research, development, or commercial information not be revealed or be revealed only
in a specified way.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(c)(1). “To establish good cause for a protective order under
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c), . . . courts have insisted on a particular and specific
demonstration of fact, as distinguished from stereotyped and conclusory statements.” Gulf Oil Co.
v. Bernard, 452 U.S. 89, 102, n.16 (1981) (internal quotations omitted).
In this case, plaintiffs have established good cause for a protective order requiring that the
EPRI reports be produced under certain restrictions, although not exactly as designated up to this
point. The current designation, “CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEY’S EYES ONLY” applies only
to materials which are determined by the Producing Party “to be non-public and to be confidential

3

business or technical information.” (460 DE 349, ¶1). Based on the facts presented in support of
the motion, however, the EPRI Reports are neither non-public nor confidential. Rather, EPRI sells
copies of the reports to the public for a fee, where the cost to purchase a copy of the 2009 EPRI
Report is $950, and the cost to purchase a copy of the 2012 EPRI Report is $2,500. (See, e.g., 460
DE 1554-8, p. 2; 460 DE 1558-3, pp. 3& 7). The EPRI Reports, therefore, do not fall squarely
within the description of the designation “CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEY’S EYES ONLY.”
Nevertheless, based on these same facts, the EPRI Reports are materials of the type properly
to be “revealed only in a specified way” to the parties during discovery in this case. Fed. R. Civ.
P. 26(c)(1)(G). Given that the EPRI Reports are proprietary and commercially valuable documents
available only from EPRI for a fee, allowing unrestricted access to copies of the EPRI Reports by
all parties to this case undermines EPRI’s intellectual property rights to charge a fee for its own
publications. The Federal Rules, in this respect, provide a mechanism for protecting EPRI, as a
“person” specified in the rule, “from . . . undue burden or expense.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 26.
Although designating the EPRI Reports “CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEY’S EYES ONLY”
is not appropriate, the same protections applicable to materials designated “CONFIDENTIAL –
ATTORNEY’S EYES ONLY” will serve the interest of maintaining the integrity and value of
EPRI’s commercial proprietary information. Restricting access to attorneys only for purposes of
litigation in this case ensures that such proprietary information is used only for purposes of this
litigation, and not for purposes of circumventing the cost of purchasing a report from EPRI.
The court, therefore, directs that the EPRI Reports be designated under a new category of
protective designation, “PROPRIETARY REPORT,” but in all other respects be subjected to the
same requirements as materials otherwise designated “CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEY’S EYES

4

ONLY” as set forth in the court’s August 5, 2010, protective order. For example, such requirements
include but are not limited to the following requirements in Paragraph 4 of the August 5, 2010,
protective order, modified here to incorporate the new category of designation:
4. [Information] designated as “[PROPRIETARY REPORT]” shall not be disclosed
other than as expressly authorized in this Order and may be disclosed only to the
following “Qualified Persons”:
a. This Court and its personnel.
b.Counsel of record in this litigation and attorneys and staff persons employed by or
acting on behalf of any such counsel.
c. Any consultant, investigator or expert (collectively, “Expert”) who is assisting in
the preparation or trial of this litigation.
d. A court reporter.
e. Third-party fact witnesses or potential fact witnesses, if disclosure to such
potential fact witness of particular [Information] is in counsel’s good faith judgment,
necessary to that party’s prosecution or defense of the case.
(DE 349, ¶4).
Such requirements also include those provisions in the protective order specifying
procedures in the event a party seeks to file such EPRI Reports under seal with the court. In
particular, “[e]ach time a party seeks to file under seal [PROPRIETARY REPORTS], said party
shall accompany the request with a motion to seal and a supporting memorandum of law,” (DE 349,
¶7), which motion and memorandum must make the requisite showing based upon applicable law
governing sealing of court filings, particularly pursuant to Stone v. University of Maryland, 855 F.2d
178, 180-181 (4th Cir.1988).
The court rejects Truland’s arguments in favor of lifting all restrictions on the designation
of the EPRI Reports, at this juncture in the litigation. For example, Truland contends that a

5

restrictive designation would run afoul of Fourth Circuit case law, such as Stone, regarding
requirements for sealing materials filed on the docket. No party, however, has yet sought to file the
EPRI Reports in connection with any motion before the court, and no motion to seal such documents
is before the court. In the event a motion to seal is filed, Truland may renew its arguments at that
time. The court expresses no opinion at this time, without benefit of further briefing on the issues
raised in Truland’s opposition regarding sealed materials, regarding the propriety of filing the EPRI
Reports under seal in this case.
It suffices for present purposes, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(c), that plaintiffs have
demonstrated through specific showing that a protective order restricting disclosure of the EPRI
Reports in discovery in this case is warranted.
CONCLUSION
Based on the foregoing, plaintiffs’ motion for protective order (460 DE 1553; 463 DE 1544)
is GRANTED IN PART. As set forth herein, the EPRI Reports shall be marked “PROPRIETARY
REPORT,” and in all other respects be subjected to the same requirements as materials designated
“CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEY’S EYES ONLY” as set forth in the court’s August 5, 2010,
protective order, attached hereto as Exhibit A, and the court’s September 30, 2013, order, attached
hereto as Exhibit B.
SO ORDERED, this the 11th day of March, 2015.

CONSENT PROTECTIVE ORDER AND STIPULATION OF CONFIDENTIALITY
THIS CAUSE carne to be heard on the joint application of Plaintiffs and Defendants, and
it appearing to the Court that the discovery and trial in this action may involve the production,
disclosure, and filing with the Court of confidential, sensitive or proprietary business
information, or trade secrets (collectively referred to as "Confidential Information") requiring
protection against unrestricted disclosure or use, including, but not limited to, confidential
fmancial data, marketing or sales planning information, information on pricing and profitability,
customer or client lists, trade secrets, product design information, engineering or business plans
or strategies, proprietary technical or scientific information, and other proprietary and nonpublic

Case 5:08-cv-00463-FL Document 352 Filed 08/05/10 Page 1 of 38

commercial information or commercially and/or competitively sensitive infonnation ofthe type
normally protected from disclosure to the public. This Protective Order governs the production
or disclosure of all Confidential Information produced by the parties or their agents during the
course of discovery, hearings or trial in this action. In addition, the parties contemplate that
Confidential Information may be produced by anon-party, and the use of such information in
this case is similarly governed by this Order.
ffiEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED, AGREED AND ORDERED that
pursuant to Rule 26(c) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the following confidentiality
provisions shall govern the disclosure, use, dissemination, and filing with the Court of all
information, docwnents or materials designated as "Confidential" or "Confidential-Attorney's
Eyes Only" and produced in this action.
1.

Designation. Any party to this action or other person who produces, supplies, or

provides access to information, docwnents, testimony, data, or other tangible items (hereinafter
"Discovery Materials") for use in this action in the course of discovery (hereinafter the
"Designating Party" or the "Producing Party") may designate all or part of such Discovery
Materials as "Confidential" or "Confidential-Attomey's Eyes Only." The Producing Party
shall be obligated to designate only such Discovery Materials which it believes in good faith to
be information within the scope of Rule 26(c) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
Moreover, the Producing Party shall be obligated to make specific designations to the extent
reasonably possible and to avoid overbroad designations.
"Confidential" applies to Discovery Materials which are determined by the Producing
Party, acting in good faith, to be non-public and to be confidential business or technical
infonnation.

2

Case 5:08-cv-00463-FL Document 352 Filed 08/05/10 Page 2 of 38

"Confidential-Attomey's Eyes Only" applies to Discovery Materials which are
detennined by the Producing Party, acting in good faith, to be non-public and to be confidential
business or technical infonnation, and which is reasonably and in good faith considered by the
Producing Party to be highly sensitive because at the time such Discovery Materials are
produced contain competitive business infonnation such as customer lists, trade secrets, product
design infonnation, marketing or sales planning infonnation or cost, price, profitability or other
similar fmancial infonnation. It is the intention of the parties to designate only a limited number
of documents and infonnation for this more restricted level of confidentiality.
Discovery Materials shall be designated as "Confidential Infonnation" by marking words
on the document or item that in substance states: "CONFIDENTIAL" or "CONFIDENTIAL­
ATTORNEY'S EYES ONLY." Deposition testimony may be designated as Confidential at the
time the testimony is given. Portions of deposition transcripts (including exhibits) containing
Confidential Information shall be separately bound and treated as Confidential under this Order,
and that portion of the transcript shall be designated "CONFIDENTIAL" or "CONFIDENTIAL­
ATTORNEY'S EYES ONLY" before the final transcript is distributed. Within thirty (30) days
after receipt of the deposition transcript, a Designating Party may designate deposition testimony
as Confidential Infonnation by advising all parties in writing of the pages and lines in which the
Confidential Infonnation appears.
2.

Electronic or digital files containing Confidential Infonnation shall be marked as

follows:
a.

Any media produced containing Confidential Infonnation in electronic or
digital fonn shall be visibly marked on the outside or surface of the media

with a legend substantially as follows: "CONTAINS INFORMATION

3

Case 5:08-cv-00463-FL Document 352 Filed 08/05/10 Page 3 of 38

DESIGNATED AS CONFIDENTIAL" and/or "CONTAINS
INFORMATION DESIGNATED AS CONFIDENTIAL-ATTORNEY' S
EYES ONLY"
b.

Individual electronic or digital files shall be conspicuously marked or
designated as containing Confidential Infonnation by including the word
"CONFIDENTIAL" or "CONFIDENTIAL-ATTORNEY'S EYES
ONL y' in the file name or file designation in all capital letters. As an
alternative to marking individual files in this manner, all digital files
containing Confidential Infonnation on a given media item can be
segregated within a folder or directory on that media, which folder or
directory name shall include the words "CONFIDENTIAL" or
"CONFIDENTIAL-ATTORNEY'S EYES ONLY" in all capitals.

c.

Any electronic or digital files containing confidential infonnation shall, to
the maximum extent practicable, contain a visible legend that is displayed
along with the data or file contents, when the data or contents are viewed
in the nonnal course of use, containing the words "CONFIDENTIAL" or
"CONFIDENTIAL-ATTORNEY'S EYES ONLY" in all capitals.

3.

Confidential Infonnation designated as "CONFIDENTIAL" shall not be disclosed

other than as expressly authorized in this Order and may be disclosed only to the following
"Qualified Persons":
a.

This Court and its personnel.

4

Case 5:08-cv-00463-FL Document 352 Filed 08/05/10 Page 4 of 38

b.

Counsel of record in this litigation, counsel of a deponent, in-house
counsel for the parties, and attorneys and staff persons employed by or
acting on behalf of any such counsel.

c.

Any consultant, investigator or expert (collectively, "Expert") who is
assisting in the preparation or trial of this litigation.

d.

A court reporter.

e.

Plaintiff's current officers and employees.

f.

Current officers and employees of any Defendant.

g.

Third-party fact witnesses or potential fact witnesses, if disclosure to such
potential fact witness of particular Confidential Information is, in
counsel's good faith judgment, necessary to that party's prosecution or
defense of the case.

4.

Confidential Information designated as "CONFIDENTIAL-ATTORNEY'S

EYES ONLY" shall not be disclosed other than as expressly authorized in this Order and may be
disclosed only to the following "Qualified Persons":
a.

This Court and its personnel.

b.

Counsel of record in this litigation and attorneys and staff persons
employed by or acting on behalf of any such counsel.

c.

Any consultant, investigator or expert (collectively, "Expert") who is
assisting in the preparation or trial ofthis litigation.

d.

A court reporter.

e.

Third-party fact witnesses or potential fact witnesses, if disclosure to such
potential fact witness of particular Confidential Information is, in

5

Case 5:08-cv-00463-FL Document 352 Filed 08/05/10 Page 5 of 38

counsel's good faith judgment, necessary to that party's prosecution or
defense of the case.
5.

If a party wishes to disclose any Confidential Information to any person not

described in Paragraphs 3 and 4 of this Order, permission to so disclose must be requested from
the Designating Party in writing. If the Designating Party agrees, the person shall be considered
a Qualified Person for the purposes of this Order. If the Designating Party objects to the
proposed disclosure, no such disclosure shall be made unless this Court, upon application by the
party requesting such permission, orders otherwise.
6.

Confidential Information may be disclosed to a Qualified Person pursuant to

Paragraph 3.c or 3.g, Paragraph 4.c or 4.e, or Paragraph 5, only if such person is first shown a
copy of this Protective Order and agrees in writing to be bound by its terms by signing a copy of
the Confidentiality Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A. Counsel for the party obtaining the
person's signature on the Confidentiality Agreement will retain a copy of the-signed agreement.
At the conclusion of the case, counsel will provide Designating Party with a copy of the signed
agreements.
7.

Where any Confidential Information is to be included in any materials filed with

the Court, the filing Party must comply with the procedures in section T (1) of the Court's
Electronic Case Filing Administrative Policies and Procedures Manual (Rev. Jan. 25, 2010).
("ECF Manual") Each time a party seeks to file under seal confidential documents, things,
and/or information, said party shall accompany the request with a motion to seal and a
supporting memorandum of law specifying:
a.

The exact documents, things, and/or information, or portions thereof, for
which filing under seal is requested;

6

Case 5:08-cv-00463-FL Document 352 Filed 08/05/10 Page 6 of 38

b.

Where it is necessary for the court to detennine the source of the public's
right to access before a request to seal may be evaluated, whether any such
request to seal seeks to overcome the common law or the First
Amendment presumption to access;

c.

The specific qualities of the material at issue which justify sealing such
material, taking into account the balance of competing interests in access;

d.

The reasons why alternatives to sealing are inadequate; and

e.

Whether there is consent to the motion.

Finally, in addition to the motion and supporting memorandmn, said party must set out such
findings in a proposed order to seal for the Court. However, in the event that a party seeking to
file Confidential Information is not the party who designated that material as Confidential
Information, then the Filing Party and the Designating Party shall follow the procedures set forth
in section T (l)(a)(6) of the Court's ECF Manual. Further proceedings with respect to a motion
to seal will be governed by the Court's Case Management Order.
8.

Inadvertent failure to designate as Confidential any infonnation pursuant to this

Protective Order shall not constitute a waiver of any otherwise valid claim for protection, so long
as such claim is asserted within thirty (30) days of the discovery of the inadvertent failure. At
such time, arrangements shall be made for return of all copies of the inadvertently misdesignated
docmnents to the Designating Party and for the submission, where appropriate, of properly
labeled copies.
9.

If upon review any party reasonably and in good faith believes that any

docmnents, infonnation or tangible items designated by a Designating Party are not properly
designated "Confidential" or "Confidential-Attorney's Eyes Only" as defined hereinabove,

7

Case 5:08-cv-00463-FL Document 352 Filed 08/05/10 Page 7 of 38

then the party may challenge such designation by notifying the Designating Party in writing at
any time prior to thirty (30) days before the fust deadline for exhibit lists to be submitted by any
party. The written notice must specifically identify the challenged documents, information or
tangible items, by Bates number page where available. The Designating Party must then seek a
protective order from the Court for such documents, information or tangible items. If such a
motion is filed the documents will continue to be treated as "Confidential" pending resolution by
the Court. Failure to file a motion for a protective order within thirty (30) days from receiving
notification of a party's challenge to the designation shall cause such documents, information or
tangible items to be excluded from the provisions of this Order.
10.

No one may attend or review the Confidential portions of a deposition, or a

transcript of such portion ofthe deposition, other than persons listed in Paragraphs 3 and 4,
subject to the provisions of Paragraph 6.
11.

Any presentation of Confidential Information to the Court at a hearing prior to the

trial shall be made following advance notice to the Court prior to presentation of the material.
12.

Except to the extent expressly authorized in this Protective Order, Confidential

Information shall not be disclosed to any third party, or used or disclosed for any purpose other
than the preparation and/or trial of this case and/or appeal therefrom.
13.

Nothing contained herein shall prevent any party from disclosing its own

Confidential Information or other Discovery Materials as it deems appropriate.
14.

Each party or person bound by this Protective Order will use reasonable care to

avoid designating any document or information as Confidential Information which is not entitled
to such designation or which is generally available to the public. The restrictions and obligations
relating to Confidential Information set forth in this Protective Order shall not apply to:

8

Case 5:08-cv-00463-FL Document 352 Filed 08/05/10 Page 8 of 38

a.

Any document that is or becomes publicly known or available other than
through a violation of this Protective Order; or

b.

Any document that the receiving party receives from a third party without
violation of this Protective Order or breach of any other agreement
between the producing party and such third party, provided the receiving
party is not obligated to hold such document in confidence; or

c.

Any information that is independently developed by employees of the
receiving party who have not had access to or received any Confidential
Information under this Protective Order, as evidenced by written
documentation of such independent development; or

d.

Any document that the Designating Party authorizes (in writing) to be
released from the obligations of this Protective Order.

If any document marked as "Confidential" or "Confidential-Attomey's Eyes Only" is
believed by any party to fall within the description set forth in this paragraph, before disclosing
such document to any person not authorized to receive same by this Order, the party seeking to
disclose said document shall follow the procedure as set forth in paragraph 9 above.
15.

Any notes, summaries, compilations or copies containing Confidential

Information or electronic images or databases containing Confidential Information shall be
subject to the terms of this Protective Order to the same extent as the material or information
from which such notes, summaries, compilations, copies, electronic images or databases are
made or derived.
16.

In the case of inadvertently produced privileged and/or work product documents,

upon request of the Producing Party, the documents together with all copies thereof shall be

9

Case 5:08-cv-00463-FL Document 352 Filed 08/05/10 Page 9 of 38

returned to the party claiming privilege and/or work product immunity within seven (7) days of
receipt of notice of the inadvertent production, and any notes made therefrom shall be destroyed.
A party returning inadvertently produced documents pursuant to this paragraph does not waive
its right to challenge the privileged and/or work product status of those documents. In support of
such a challenge, a party returning inadvertently produced documents may, at that time, submit a
copy of the returned documents to the Court under seal, to be opened in camera only ifthe party
elects to challenge the privileged and/or work product status of those documents, which
challenge must be made within fourteen (14) days of submission to the Court. If the party
returning inadvertently produced privileged documents fails to file a motion to compel
production of these documents within said fourteen (14) day period, the documents will be
returned to the Designating Party.

17.

This Protective Order does not affect any party's rights to object to discovery on

any grounds other than an objection based solely on the ground that the information sought
contains Confidential Information.
18.

A Party or entity's compliance with the terms of this Protective Order shall not

operate as an admission that any particular document is or is not (a) confidential, (b) proprietary,
(c) privileged or subject to attorney work product protection, or (d) admissible in evidence at
trial.
19.

Any person in possession of materials designated as "Confidential" or

"Confidential-Attorney's Eyes Only" pursuant to this Protective Order who receives a
subpoena or other process from any court or person (including natural persons, corporations,
partnerships, firms, governmental agencies, departments, or bodies, boards, or associations) who
is not a party to this Protective Order, seeking production or other disclosure of such

10

Case 5:08-cv-00463-FL Document 352 Filed 08/05/10 Page 10 of 38

Confidential material, shall promptly give telephonic notice and written notice by overnight
delivery, electronic mail, and/or facsimile to counsel for the Designating Party or entity,
identifying the materials sought and enclosing a copy of the subpoena or other process where
possible at least ten (10) business days before production or other disclosure shall be given.
Without limiting the remainder of this paragraph, in no event shall production or other disclosure
be made before the latest of (1) the day following the date on which notice is given, or (2) the
return date of the subpoena or process.
20.

This Protective Order may be modified or amended by Order of the Court for

good cause shown.
21.

This Protective Order shall apply to discovery directed to non-parties to this case,

if said non-party requests protection as to its Confidential material as defined above.
22.

This Protective Order is without prejudice to the right of any party to seek

modification thereof from the Court, and shall remain in effect until such time as it is modified,
amended or set aside by the Court. Nothing in this Protective Order shall restrict or prohibit a
party from seeking protections in addition to those set forth in this Protective Order for a
particular document(s) or for particular testimony given in this Action.
23.

This Protective Order is not intended to prohibit the use or admissibility of

Confidential Information upon trial of this action. Issues involving the protection of Confidential
Information during trial will be presented to the Court prior to or during trial as each party deems
appropriate, with direction from the Court.
24.

Within sixty (60) days after the final disposition of this action, all documents and

materials containing Confidential Information (other than exhibits to the official court record)
shall, if requested, be returned to the Designating Party or, at the sole option of the Designating

11

Case 5:08-cv-00463-FL Document 352 Filed 08/05/10 Page 11 of 38

Party, destroyed at the Designating Party's expense. The attorneys for each party to the litigation
may keep one (1) archival copy of all pleadings and all transcripts (including deposition
transcripts and exhibits thereto) containing Confidential Infonnation. The attorneys returning
documents containing Confidential Infonnation may retain their attorney 'work product' and
privileged attorney-client correspondence as may be necessary in their reasonable good judgment
to comply with ethical requirements and/or insurer requirements; provided, however, that this
exception shall not apply to any copies of Confidential documents that are incorporated into or
attached to attorney-client communications or attorney work product. Counsel for any party or
third party receiving Confidential Infonnation shall make written certification of compliance
with this provision and shall deliver the same to counsel for each Designating Party.
25.

The obligations of this Protective Order shall survive the tennination of this

Action and shall continue to restrict the disclosure and use of discovery material designated as
Confidential Infonnation by the parties, their counsel, and all who signed a Confidentiality
Agreement. Following tennination of this Action, the Court will retain jurisdiction to enforce
the tenns of this Protective Order.
