PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS

17

Discovery in this action is likely to involve production of confidential, proprietary, or

18

private information for which special protection may be warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby

19

stipulate to and petition the court to enter the following Stipulated Protective Order, which has

20

been amended to correct the concerns the Court expressed before. See dkt. #35.

21

The parties acknowledge that this stipulation is consistent with LCR 26(c). It does not

22

confer blanket protection on all disclosures or responses to discovery, the protection it affords from

23

public disclosure and use extends only to the limited information or items that are entitled to

24

confidential treatment under the applicable legal principles, and it does not presumptively entitle

25

parties to file confidential information under seal.

“CONFIDENTIAL” MATERIAL
“Confidential” material shall include the following documents and tangible things

produced or otherwise exchanged:

4

A.

Consumer credit applications, loan documents and statements related to accounts

5

held by plaintiff Mark Holaday at KeyBank. These documents contain “nonpublic personal

6

information” as defined by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and its implementing regulations. See 15

7

U.S.C. § 6801, et seq.; 12 C.F.R. § 1016.1, et seq.

8

B.

Internal KeyBank policies and procedures related to account security and fraud

detection, and documents describing KeyBank’s investigation of the charges that Mr. Holaday

10

alleges were unauthorized on his account. The public disclosure of these documents could aid bad

11

actors’ attempts to circumvent or abuse KeyBank’s security procedures.

12

3.

SCOPE

13

The protections conferred by this agreement cover not only confidential material (as

14

defined above), but also (1) any information copied or extracted from confidential material; (2) all

15

copies, excerpts, summaries, or compilations of confidential material; and (3) any testimony,

16

conversations, or presentations by parties or their counsel that might reveal confidential material.

17

However, the protections conferred by this agreement do not cover information that is in

18

the public domain or becomes part of the public domain through trial or otherwise.

19

4.

20

ACCESS TO AND USE OF CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL
4.1

Basic Principles. A receiving party may use confidential material that is disclosed

21

or produced by another party or by a non-party in connection with this case only for prosecuting,

22

defending, or attempting to settle this litigation. Confidential material may be disclosed only to the

23

categories of persons and under the conditions described in this agreement. Confidential material

24

must be stored and maintained by a receiving party at a location and in a secure manner that ensures

25

that access is limited to the persons authorized under this agreement.

4.2

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

2

by the court or permitted in writing by the designating party, a receiving party may disclose any

3

confidential material only to:

4

(a)

the receiving party’s counsel of record in this action, as well as employees

5

and independent contractors of counsel to whom it is reasonably necessary to disclose the

6

information for this litigation;

7

(b)

the officers, directors, and employees (including in house counsel) of the

8

receiving party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation, unless the parties

9

agree that a particular document or material produced is for Attorney’s Eyes Only and is so

10
11

12

designated;
(c)

experts and consultants to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this

litigation and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);

13

(d)

the court, court personnel, and court reporters and their staff;

14

(e)

copy or imaging services retained by counsel to assist in the duplication of

15

confidential material, provided that counsel for the party retaining the copy or imaging service

16

instructs the service not to disclose any confidential material to third parties and to immediately

17

return all originals and copies of any confidential material;

18

(f)

during their depositions, witnesses in the action to whom disclosure is

19

reasonably necessary and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound”

20

(Exhibit A), unless otherwise agreed by the designating party or ordered by the court. Pages of

21

transcribed deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal confidential material must

22

be separately bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone except as permitted

23

under this agreement;

24
25

(g)

the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a

custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information.

4.3

Filing Confidential Material. Before filing confidential material or discussing or

referencing such material in court filings, the filing party shall confer with the designating party,

3

in accordance with Local Civil Rule 5(g)(3)(A), to determine whether the designating party will

4

remove the confidential designation, whether the document can be redacted, or whether a motion

5

to seal or stipulation and proposed order is warranted. During the meet and confer process, the

6

designating party must identify the basis for sealing the specific confidential information at issue,

7

and the filing party shall include this basis in its motion to seal, along with any objection to sealing

8

the information at issue. Local Civil Rule 5(g) sets forth the procedures that must be followed and

9

the standards that will be applied when a party seeks permission from the court to file material

10

under seal. A party who seeks to maintain the confidentiality of its information must satisfy the

11

requirements of Local Civil Rule 5(g)(3)(B), even if it is not the party filing the motion to seal.

12

2

Failure to satisfy this requirement will result in the motion to seal being denied, in accordance with

13

the strong presumption of public access to the Court’s files.

14

5.

15

DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
5.1

Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection. Each party

16

or non-party that designates information or items for protection under this agreement must take

17

care to limit any such designation to specific material that qualifies under the appropriate

18

standards. The designating party must designate for protection only those parts of material,

19

documents, items, or oral or written communications that qualify, so that other portions of the

20

material, documents, items, or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept

21

unjustifiably within the ambit of this agreement.

22

Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations that are

23

shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper purpose (e.g., to

24

unnecessarily encumber or delay the case development process or to impose unnecessary expenses

25

and burdens on other parties) expose the designating party to sanctions.

1

If it comes to a designating party’s attention that information or items that it designated for

2

protection do not qualify for protection, the designating party must promptly notify all other parties

3

that it is withdrawing the mistaken designation.

4

5.2

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

5

agreement (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise stipulated or

6

ordered, disclosure or discovery material that qualifies for protection under this agreement must

7

be clearly so designated before or when the material is disclosed or produced.

8

(a)

Information in documentary form: (e.g., paper or electronic documents and

deposition exhibits, but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings),

10

the designating party must affix the word “CONFIDENTIAL” to each page that contains

11

confidential material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection,

12

9

the producing party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate

13

markings in the margins).

14

(b)

Testimony given in deposition or in other pretrial proceedings: the parties

15

and any participating non-parties must identify on the record, during the deposition or other pretrial

16

proceeding, all protected testimony, without prejudice to their right to so designate other testimony

17

after reviewing the transcript. Any party or non-party may, within fifteen days after receiving the

18

transcript of the deposition or other pretrial proceeding, designate portions of the transcript, or

19

exhibits thereto, as confidential. If a party or non-party desires to protect confidential information

20

at trial, the issue should be addressed during the pre-trial conference.

21

(c)

Other tangible items: the producing party must affix in a prominent place

22

on the exterior of the container or containers in which the information or item is stored the word

23

“CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a portion or portions of the information or item warrant protection,

24

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

25
26

5.3

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

designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive the designating party’s

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

2

designation, the receiving party must make reasonable efforts to ensure that the material is treated

3

in accordance with the provisions of this agreement.

4

6.

5

CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
6.1

Timing of Challenges. Any party or non-party may challenge a designation of

6

confidentiality at any time. Unless a prompt challenge to a designating party’s confidentiality

7

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

8

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

9

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

10

original designation is disclosed.

11

6.2

Meet and Confer. The parties must make every attempt to resolve any dispute

12

regarding confidential designations without court involvement. Any motion regarding confidential

13

designations or for a protective order must include a certification, in the motion or in a declaration

14

or affidavit, that the movant has engaged in a good faith meet and confer conference with other

15

affected parties in an effort to resolve the dispute without court action. The certification must list

16

the date, manner, and participants to the conference. A good faith effort to confer requires a face-

17

to-face meeting or a telephone conference.

18

6.3

Judicial Intervention. If the parties cannot resolve a challenge without court

19

intervention, the designating party may file and serve a motion to retain confidentiality under Local

20

Civil Rule 7 (and in compliance with Local Civil Rule 5(g), if applicable). The burden of

21

persuasion in any such motion shall be on the designating party. Frivolous challenges, and those

22

made for an improper purpose (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on

23

other parties) may expose the challenging party to sanctions. All parties shall continue to maintain

24

the material in question as confidential until the court rules on the challenge.

If a party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation that compels

2

disclosure of any information or items designated in this action as “CONFIDENTIAL,” that party

3

must:

4
5

(a)

promptly notify the designating party in writing and include a copy of the

subpoena or court order;

6

(b)

promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order to

7

issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the subpoena or order is

8

subject to this agreement. Such notification shall include a copy of this agreement; and

9

(c)

cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued by

10

the designating party whose confidential material may be affected.

11

8.

UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

12

If a receiving party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed confidential

13

material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this agreement, the receiving

14

party must immediately (a) notify in writing the designating party of the unauthorized disclosures,

15

(b) use its best efforts to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the protected material, (c) inform the

16

person or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this agreement,

17

and (d) request that such person or persons execute the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be

18

Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

MATERIAL

INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE PROTECTED

21

When a producing party gives notice to receiving parties that certain inadvertently

22

produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection, the obligations of the

23

receiving parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision

24

is not intended to modify whatever procedure may be established in an e-discovery order or

25

agreement that provides for production without prior privilege review. The parties agree to the

26

entry of a non-waiver order under Fed. R. Evid. 502(d) as set forth herein.

NON TERMINATION AND RETURN OF DOCUMENTS

2
