STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

“Confidential Records” and subject to this Stipulated Protective Order for Financial Records and

Third Party Medical Records. Except as otherwise stated herein, the protections conferred by this

Order cover any information copied or extracted from Confidential Records, as well as all copies

excerpts, summaries, or compilations thereof, including testimony, conversations, or presentations

by parties or counsel in any setting, including depositions, that might reveal information contained

in any Confidential Records. 

2. Without waiving any objections regarding the admissibility of Confidential

Records at trial or otherwise in this litigation, Confidential Records shall be treated as confidential

and shall not be used for any purpose other than the prosecution or defense of this litigation,

including discovery, law and motion, and pre-trial matters, trial, and any appeal taken herein. 

Confidential Records shall not be used for any other purposes unless agreed to in writing by all

parties to this Protective Order, except as required by lawful subpoena or court order, or as

authorized by further order of this Court.

3. If any party, other than Dr. Anwar, receives a subpoena or order issued in

conjunction with other litigation or proceedings that would compel disclosure to a person not

subject to the terms of this Protective Order of any information or items designated in this Order as

Confidential Records, the subpoenaed party must notify all other parties in writing immediately. 

Such notice may be made by written notice to each party’s attorney of record herein. It is the

obligation of the party receiving such notice to take action to protect his or her confidentiality

interests. 

4. Confidential Records may be disclosed for purposes of this litigation to the

attorneys and such experts and consultants whose receipt of the information is necessary to the

prosecution or defense of the action, and their employees and agents, deponents during deposition,

court reporters and staff, the Court and Court staff, and such other persons as may be designated by

written stipulation or further order of the Court. It is specifically agreed that Confidential Records

will not be disclosed to any Plaintiff in this or the related action of Scott v. Hickman, et al., case

no. 1:05-CV-01282-OWW-NEW.

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

5. Before the attorneys disclose Confidential Records to any person(s)

identified in Paragraph 4 above, other than the Court or Court staff, they must inform the person

receiving such Confidential Records of their confidential nature, and his or her duty to abide by the

terms of the Stipulated Protective Order and to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential

Records.

6. Any copies of Confidential Records to be attached as an exhibit to a motion

or other pleading, or otherwise to be filed with the Court in this litigation, shall be filed under seal

according to the provisions of Local Rule 39-141(c). 

7. With the exception of information already in the public domain, any

reference to, description and/or summary of the information contained in any Confidential Records

made in pleadings or other documents filed with the Court, except for use at trial, shall be made in

general terms and shall not specifically identify or specifically discuss in any way Dr. Anwar’s

earnings for any duration of time or any specific time period or from any particular patient(s), or

any individual patient’s past or present medical conditions, treatment, history, or diagnosis. 

8. Any Confidential Records may be used by any party at the trial of this

action, or in connection with any motion, pleading or hearing in this action, subject to the rules of

evidence and the requirements of this Order, or such other Order as the Court may enter. No

document introduced into evidence at the trial of this matter shall bear the designation

"Confidential" unless so stipulated by the parties or ordered by the Court. Within ninety (90) days

after the final disposition of this action, all copies of Confidential Records shall be destroyed by

the party in possession; provided, however, that health care provider parties shall continuously

retain possession of his/her/its original documents, and that counsel shall be entitled to retain and

preserve a litigation file in this matter, including Confidential Records. Any Confidential Records

so retained remain subject to the terms of this Protective Order.
