STIPULATION AND PROTECTIVE 

ORDER 

1. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS

Disclosure and discovery activity in this action are likely to involve production of confidential, 

proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public disclosure and from use for any 

purpose other than prosecuting this litigation would be warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to 

and petition the court to enter the following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this 

Order does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to discovery and that the protection it 

affords extends only to the limited information or items that are entitled under the applicable legal principles to 

treatment as confidential. The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 10, below, that this 

Stipulated Protective Order creates no entitlement to file confidential information under seal; Civil Local Rule

39-141 sets forth the procedures that must be followed and reflects the standards that will be applied when a 

party seeks permission from the court to file material under seal. 

2. DEFINITIONS

2.1 Party: any party to this action, including all of its officers, directors, employees, 

consultants, retained experts, and outside counsel (and their support staff). 

2.2 Disclosure or Discovery Material: all items or information, regardless of the medium 

or manner generated, stored, or maintained (including, among other things, testimony, transcripts, or tangible 

things) that are produced or generated in disclosures or responses to discovery in this matter. 

2.3 “Confidential” Information or Items: information (regardless of how generated, stored 

or maintained) or tangible things that qualify for protection under standards developed under F.R.Civ.P. 26(c). 

2.4 “Highly Confidential - Attorneys’ Eyes Only” Information or Items: 

extremely sensitive “Confidential Information or Items” whose disclosure to another Party or non-party would 

create a substantial risk of serious injury that could not be avoided by less restrictive means. 

2.5 Receiving Party: a Party that receives Disclosure or Discovery Material from a 

Producing Party. 

2.6 Producing Party: a Party or non-party that produces Disclosure or Discovery Material 

in this action. 

2.7. Designating Party: a Party or non-party that designates information or items that it 

produces in disclosures or in responses to discovery as “Confidential” or “Highly Confidential - Attorneys’ 

Eyes Only.” 

2.8 Protected Material: any Disclosure or Discovery Material that is designated as 

“Confidential” or as “Highly Confidential — Attorneys’ Eyes Only.” 

2.9. Outside Counsel: attorneys who are not employees of a Party but who are retained to 

represent or advise a Party in this action. 

2.10 House Counsel: attorneys who are employees of a Party. 

2.11 Counsel (without qualifier): Outside Counsel and House Counsel (as well as their 

support staffs). 

2.12 Expert: a person with specialized knowledge or experience in a matter pertinent to the 

litigation who has been retained by a Party or its counsel to serve as an expert witness or as a consultant in this 

action and who is not a past or a current employee of a Party or of a competitor of a Party’s and who, at the

time of retention, is not anticipated to become an employee of a Party or a competitor of a Party’s. This 

definition includes a professional jury or trial consultant retained in connection with this litigation. 

2.13 Professional Vendors: persons or entities that provide litigation support services (e.g., 

photocopying; videotaping; translating; preparing exhibits or demonstrations; organizing, storing, retrieving 

data in any form or medium; etc.) and their employees and subcontractors. 

3. SCOPE

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

above), but also any information copied or extracted therefrom, as well as all copies, excerpts, summaries, or 

compilations thereof, plus testimony, conversations, or presentations by parties or counsel to or in court or in 

other settings that might reveal Protected Material. 

4. DURATION

Even after the termination of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations imposed by this Order shall 

remain in effect until a Designating Party agrees otherwise in writing or a court order otherwise directs. 

5. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL

5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection. Each Party or 

non-party that designates information or items for protection under this Order must take care to limit any such 

designation to specific material that qualifies under the appropriate standards. A Designating Party must take 

care to designate for protection only those parts of material, documents, items, or oral or written 

communications that qualify - so that other portions of the material, documents, items, or communications for 

which protection is not warranted are not swept unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order. 

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

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

retard the case development process, or to impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties), expose 

the Designating Party to sanctions. 

If it comes to a Party’s or a non-party’s attention that information or items that it designated 

for protection do not qualify for protection at all, or do not qualify for the level of protection initially asserted, 

that Party or non-party must promptly notify all other parties that it is withdrawing the mistaken designation. 

5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in this Order (see, 

e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a), below), or as otherwise stipulated or ordered, material that qualifies

for protection under this Order must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or produced. 

Designation in conformity with this Order requires: 

(a) for information in documentary form (apart from transcripts of depositions or other 

pretrial or trial proceedings), that the Producing Party affix the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL — ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” at the top of each page that contains protected material. If 

only a portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must 

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

specify, for each portion, the level of protection being asserted (either “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”). 

A Party or non-party that makes original documents or materials available for 

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

would like copied and produced. During the inspection and before the designation, all of the material made 

available for inspection shall be deemed “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL —ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” After 

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

determine which documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order, then, before producing 

the specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the appropriate legend (“CONFIDENTIAL” or 

“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL — ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”) at the top of each page that contains Protected 

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

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

must specify, for each portion, the level of protection being asserted (either “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”). 

(b) for testimony given in deposition or in other pretrial or trial proceedings, that the 

Party or non-party offering or sponsoring the testimony identify on the record, before the close of the 

deposition, hearing, or other proceeding, all protected testimony, and further specify any portions of the 

testimony that qualify as “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” When it is 

impractical to identify separately each portion of testimony that is entitled to protection, and when it appears 

that substantial portions of the testimony may qualify for protection, the Party or non-party that sponsors, 

offers, or gives the testimony may invoke on the record (before the deposition or proceeding is concluded) a 

right to have up to 20 days to identify the specific portions of the testimony as to which protection is sought 

and to specify the level of protection being asserted (“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL -

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”). Only those portions of the testimony that are appropriately designated for 

protection within the 20 days shall be covered by the provisions of this Stipulated Protective Order. 

Transcript pages containing Protected Material must be separately bound by the court 

reporter, who must affix to the top of each such page the legend “CONFIDENTIAL or “HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” as instructed by the Party or non-party offering or 

sponsoring the witness or presenting the testimony. 

(c) for information produced in some form other than documentary, and for any other 

tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the exterior of the container or containers 

in which the information or item is stored the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL — 

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” If only portions of the information 

or item warrant protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the protected portions, 

specifying whether they qualify as “Confidential” or as “Highly Confidential — Attorneys’ Eyes Only.” 

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

designate qualified information or items as “Confidential” or “Highly Confidential — Attorneys’ Eyes Only” 

does not, standing alone, waive the Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such 

material. If material is appropriately designated as “Confidential” or “Highly Confidential — Attorneys’ Eyes 

Only” after the material was initially produced, the Receiving Party, on timely notification of the designation, 

must make reasonable efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this 

Order. 

6. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS

6.1 Timing of Challenges. Unless a prompt challenge to a Designating Party’s 

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

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

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

disclosed. 

6.2 Meet and Confer. A Party that elects to initiate a challenge to a Designating Party’s 

confidentiality designation must do so in good faith and must begin the process by conferring directly (in voice 

to voice dialogue; other forms of communication are not sufficient) with counsel for the Designating Party. In 

conferring, the challenging Party must explain the basis for its belief that the confidentiality designation was 

not proper and must give the Designating Party an opportunity to review the designated material, to reconsider

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

challenging Party may proceed to the next stage of the challenge process only if it has engaged in this meet and 

confer process first. 

6.3 Judicial Intervention. A Party that elects to press a challenge to a confidentiality 

designation after considering the justification offered by the Designating Party may file and serve a motion that 

identifies the challenged material and sets forth in detail the basis for the challenge. Each such motion must be 

accompanied by a competent declaration that affirms that the movant has complied with the meet and confer 

requirements imposed in the preceding paragraph and that sets forth with specificity the justification for the 

confidentiality designation that was given by the Designating Party in the meet and confer dialogue. 

The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on the Designating Party. 

Until the court rules on the challenge, all parties shall continue to afford the material in question the level of 

protection to which it is entitled under the Producing Party’s designation. 

7. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

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

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

attempting to settle this litigation. Such Protected Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons 

and under the conditions described in this Order. When the litigation has been terminated, a Receiving Party 

must comply with the provisions of section 11, below (FINAL 

DISPOSITION). 

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 information or 

item designated CONFIDENTIAL only to: 

(a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of record in this action, as well as 

employees of said Counsel to whom it is reasonably necessary to disclose the information for this litigation and 

who have signed the “Agreement to Be Bound by Protective Order” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A; 

(b) the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel) of the Receiving 

Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the “Agreement to Be 

Bound by Protective Order” (Exhibit A);

7.4 Procedures for Approving Disclosure of “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL -

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” Information or Items to “Experts” 

(a) Unless otherwise ordered by the court or agreed in writing by the Designating 

Party, a Party that seeks to disclose to an “Expert” (as defined in this Order) any information or item that has 

been designated “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL — ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” first must make a written 

request to the Designating Party that (1) identifies the specific HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL information that 

the Receiving Party seeks permission to disclose to the Expert, (2) sets forth the full name of the Expert and 

the city and state of his or her primary residence, (3) attaches a copy of the Expert’s current resume, (4) 

identifies the Expert’s current employer(s), (5) identifies each person or entity from whom the Expert has 

received compensation for work in his or her areas of expertise or to whom the expert has provided 

professional services at any time during the preceding five years, and (6) identifies (by name and number of the 

case, filing date, and location of court) any litigation in connection with which the Expert has provided any 

professional services during the preceding five years. 

(b) A Party that makes a request and provides the information specified in the 

preceding paragraph may disclose the subject Protected Material to the identified Expert unless, within seven 

court days of delivering the request, the Party receives a written objection from the Designating Party. Any 

such objection must set forth in detail the grounds on which it is based. 

(c) A Party that receives a timely written objection must meet and confer with the 

Designating Party (through direct voice to voice dialogue) to try to resolve the matter by agreement. If no 

agreement is reached, the Party seeking to make the disclosure to the Expert may file a motion seeking 

permission from the court to do so. Any such motion must describe the circumstances with specificity, set forth 

in detail the reasons for which the disclosure to the Expert is reasonably necessary, assess the risk of harm that 

the disclosure would entail and suggest any additional means that might be used to reduce that risk. In 

addition, any such motion must be accompanied by a competent declaration in which the movant describes the 

parties’ efforts to resolve the matter by agreement (i.e., the extent and the content of the meet and confer 

discussions) and sets forth the reasons advanced by the Designating Party for its refusal to approve the 

disclosure. 

In any such proceeding the Party opposing disclosure to the Expert shall bear the 

burden of proving that the risk of harm that the disclosure would entail (under the safeguards proposed)

outweighs the Receiving Party’s need to disclose the Protected Material to its Expert. 

8. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN OTHER 

LITIGATION. 

If a Receiving Party is served with a subpoena or an order issued in other litigation that would 

compel disclosure of any information or items designated in this action as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” the Receiving Party must so notify the Designating Party, 

in writing (by fax, if possible) immediately and in no event more than three court days after receiving the 

subpoena or order. Such notification must include a copy of the subpoena or court order. 

The Receiving Party also must immediately inform in writing the Party who caused the 

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

is the subject of this Protective Order. In addition, the Receiving Party must deliver a copy of this Stipulated 

Protective Order promptly to the Party in the other action that caused the subpoena or order to issue. 

The purpose of imposing these duties is to alert the interested parties to the existence of this 

Protective Order and to afford the Designating Party in this case an opportunity to try to protect its 

confidentiality interests in the court from which the subpoena or order issued. The Designating Party shall bear 

the burdens and the expenses of seeking protection in that court of its confidential material — and nothing in 

these provisions should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this action to disobey 

a lawful directive from another court. 

9. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed Protected Material to any 

person or in any circumstance not authorized under this Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must 

immediately (a) notify in writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts 

to retrieve all copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform the person or persons to whom unauthorized 

disclosures were made of all the terms of this Order, and (d) request such person or persons to execute the 

“Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A. 

10. FILING PROTECTED MATERIAL. Without written permission from the Designating Party or a 

court order secured after appropriate notice to all interested persons, a Party may not file in the public record 

in this action any Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any Protected Material must comply 

with Civil Local Rule 39-141.

11. FINAL DISPOSITION. Unless otherwise ordered or agreed in writing by the Producing Party,

within sixty days after the final termination of this action, each Receiving Party must return all Protected 

Material to the Producing Party. As used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, 

abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other form of reproducing or capturing any of the Protected 

Material. With permission in writing from the Designating Party, the Receiving Party may destroy some or all 

of the Protected Material instead of returning it. Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the 

Receiving Party must submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the same person or 

entity, to the Designating Party) by the sixty day deadline that identifies (by category, where appropriate) all 

the Protected Material that was returned or destroyed and that affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained 

any copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or other forms of reproducing or capturing any of the Protected 

Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are entitled to retain an archival copy of all pleadings, 

motion papers, transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence or attorney work product, even if such materials 

contain Protected Material. Any such archival copies that contain or constitute Protected Material remain 

subject to this Protective Order as set forth in Section 4 (DURATION), above. 

12. MISCELLANEOUS

12.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any person to seek 

its modification by the Court in the future. 

12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this Protective Order 

no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to disclosing or producing any information or item 

on any ground not addressed in this Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object 

on any ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective Order. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED, THROUGH COUNSEL OF RECORD.
