"CONFIDENTIAL MATERIALS," which designation shall make such items 

CONFIDENTIAL MATERIALS. All copies, prints or other reproductions, summaries, 

notes, synopses or any other memorialization of CONFIDENTIAL MATERIALS, or the 

information contained therein, shall be deemed CONFIDENTIAL MATERIALS subject to 

this Stipulation. Confidential documents, information or materials shall not include 

advertising materials; materials that on their face show that they have been published or 

made available to the general public; or materials that have been submitted to 

governmental authorities without a request for confidential treatment, unless otherwise 

protected from disclosure by applicable regulations. 

3. CONFIDENTIAL MATERIALS produced or disclosed to the parties and their 

counsel in the action entitled Elizabeth Sanchez v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., et al. (which term 

shall include all attorney and non-attorney personnel, all of whom are subject to the terms 

of this Stipulation) shall not be disclosed to any person or entity except experts or 

consultants retained by the parties' counsel for assistance in trial preparation or for 

testimony in this action. Disclosure shall be made to such persons only as necessary for 

the prosecution or defense of this lawsuit and only after the person to whom disclosure is 

to be made has been provided with a copy of this Stipulation, has agreed to be bound by 

it, and has executed, subscribed and returned to the disclosing counsel an acknowledged 

copy of the "Confidentiality Agreement Affidavit" in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. 

4. CONFIDENTIAL MATERIALS which are set forth, summarized, or otherwise 

referenced in transcripts, depositions, affidavits, exhibits, briefs, memoranda, discovery 

responses, or other documents or pleadings in this matter shall likewise be deemed 

CONFIDENTIAL MATERIALS subject to this Stipulation. If filed with any Court, any such 

documents or pleadings shall be filed under seal and with notation of the application of this 

Stipulation, and shall not be available for inspection or review without such Court's prior 

specific approval. They shall be kept under seal except when in actual use by the judicial 

officer(s) presiding over this action (or his staff), and shall be resealed before being 

returned to the Court's files.

5. Upon termination of this lawsuit, by dismissal, judgment or settlement, all 

parties' counsel shall promptly return to counsel for DJG or Wal-Mart all CONFIDENTIAL 

MATERIALS, including all designated materials of the type described in paragraphs 2 and 

4 of this Stipulation, in the possession of all parties' counsel, consultants and experts, 

except those documents containing notations or other material which are privileged or 

constitute work product shall be destroyed. All parties' counsel shall certify in writing to 

counsel for DJG that this Stipulation has been complied with, and shall disclose the names 

of all persons to whom CONFIDENTIAL MATERIALS were disclosed. Each consultant or 

expert retained by the parties' counsel who received any CONFIDENTIAL MATERIALS 

shall also certify in writing to counsel for DJG or Wal-Mart that this Stipulation has been 

complied with. Such certifications shall be in the form of the affidavit attached hereto as 

Exhibit B. All parties' counsel shall provide to counsel for defendant copies of any 

"Confidentiality Agreement Affidavit" (Exhibit A) and "Certification Affidavit" (Exhibit B) 

executed pursuant to this Stipulation. In addition, upon the termination of this lawsuit, by 

dismissal, judgment or settlement, all CONFIDENTIAL MATERIALS filed with the Court 

shall be expunged from the Court records and returned to counsel for DJG or Wal-Mart. 

6. Materials designated as "CONFIDENTIAL MATERIALS" shall not be placed 

or deposited in any sort of data bank, internet website, or otherwise be made available for 

indiscriminate or general circulation to lawyers, litigants, consultants, expert witnesses, or 

any other persons or entities. This paragraph and the other provisions of this Protective 

Order shall not apply to materials which, if challenged by another party, the Court rules are 

not entitled to protection. 

7. Prior to designating any material as "CONFIDENTIAL MATERIALS", 

counsel for DJG or Wal-Mart must make a good faith determination that the material is, 

in fact, proprietary or other confidential research, development or commercial 

information. If any party elects to challenge a designation of “CONFIDENTIAL 

MATERIALS” made by DJG or Wal-Mart, the challenging party shall provide written 

notice to counsel for DJG or Wal-Mart within thirty (30) days of receipt of the

document(s) in question. The notice shall specify the documents, information, or 

materials for which the designation is challenged, and the basis for the challenge. 

Thereafter, the provisions of the agreement shall apply to such materials for a period of 

sixty (60) days only, and shall expire unless DJG or Wal-Mart files a motion for protective 

order from the court prior to such time. In the event such motion is filed, the terms of this 

Protective Order shall remain in place as to such documents, information, and materials 

until the Court rules upon the motion. 

8. All materials designated as confidential shall be treated as such pursuant to 

the terms of this Protective Order until further order of this Court. Such a designation 

raises no presumption that the information or documents are entitled under the law to 

protection. 

9. The determination of how any material designated as "CONFIDENTIAL 

MATERIALS" shall be used at the trial of this case, if any, is not made at this time. 

Rather, any such determination will be made prior to trial. 

10. The terms of this Protective Order shall become effective when it is mutually 

executed by the respective attorneys for the parties and shall survive and remain in full 

force and effect after conclusion of this cause of action. 

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED.
