located in Tracy, California (“Tracy Plant”), which is scheduled to take place on January 6, 2010.

STIPULATION AND PROTECTIVE ORDER RE SITE INSPECTION 

forklift in question. (See Exhibit A, Notice of Inspection). Collectively, plaintiff and her 

representatives shall be referred to herein as “Plaintiff.” 

c. The Tracy Plant contains many confidential and proprietary manufacturing, 

bottling, and shipping processes and has an established “no photograph” policy. 

d. Good cause exists to limit: (1) Plaintiff access to the Tracy Plant solely to 

area commonly known as the road between B-Furnace and C-Furnace where the incident 

occurred (“Incident Area”), (2) the taking of photographs, video, and measurements of the Tracy 

Plant to the Incident Area; and (3) the use of any photographs, video, measurements, or 

documentation of the Tracy Plant and the Incident Area for the purpose of this litigation. 

2. Plaintiff’s access to the Tracy Plant. 

Plaintiff’s access to the Tracy Plant will be limited to the Incident Area. Plaintiff will be 

escorted by an Owens representative from the guard house promptly from 9:00 a.m. to the 

Incident Area. Plaintiff may be taken through other areas of the plant in order to get to the 

Incident Area. At no time shall Plaintiff take any photographs, video, measurements, or notes 

pertaining to areas outside of the Incident Area. Plaintiff agrees to produce all photographs and 

video taken during the inspection to Defendant’s counsel for receipt by 5:00 p.m., Thursday, 

January 7, 2010. 

3. Limitations on Inspection and Testing. 

Once Plaintiff has arrived at the Incident Area, plaintiff may take photographs, video, 

measurements, and notes of the Incident Area. Plaintiff will not be provided access to enter into 

B-Furnace or C-Furnace or any other buildings, other than so far as to reasonably film the path of 

travel of the lift as it exited the B-Furnace building. Plaintiff’s inspection shall be concluded 

promptly at 10:30 a.m., which means that they must be off the Tracy Plant grounds by 10:30 a.m. 

Therefore, it is recommended that Plaintiff conclude its inspection by 10:15 a.m. to take into 

consideration any packing of equipment that must take place so that they can be off the premises 

of the Tracy Plant by 10:30 a.m. 

4. Confidential Documents. 

“Confidential Documents” include any photographs, video, measurements, notes and

other documentation of the Tracy Plant and the Incident Area taken or recorded by Plaintiff. 

5. Use and Dissemination of Confidential Documents. 

Any Confidential Documents shall be marked as “Confidential – For Litigation Purposes 

Only.” Confidential Information shall only be used in conducting or defending this Litigation, 

and shall not be used for any business, competitive, personal, private, public, or organizational 

purposes. While the parties agree that this order shall apply to all parties, there should be nothing 

to prevent Owens from using information for the conduct of their business. 

6. Producing Confidential Information in Discovery 

a. Confidential Information may be produced during deposition and shall 

have the designation “Confidential – For Litigation Purposes Only” indicated on any exhibit 

before it is introduced in the deposition. 

b. Any Confidential Information that have been marked as exhibits to the 

deposition shall be treated as Confidential Information under this Order. The following legend 

shall be placed on the front of the original and each copy of the depositions transcript containing 

Confidential Information: “CONTAINS CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.” When a 

deposition transcript contains Confidential Information, the Producing Party shall request the 

stenographic reporter to separate those exhibits containing confidential information and bind them 

separately from the non-confidential portions. This separate binding shall be at the requesting 

party’s expense. 

7. Filing of Confidential Information 

All documents and materials containing Confidential Information that are filed with the 

Court shall be filed under seal pursuant to the following procedures: 

a. Confidential Information filed under seal shall be placed in sealed 

envelopes on which it shall be endorsed with the title to this Litigation, the words “FILED 

UNDER SEAL,” and a statement substantially in the following form: “This envelope is sealed 

pursuant to order of the Court and contains Confidential Information filed in this case by [name 

of Party] and is not to be opened or the contents thereof to be displayed or revealed to any nonCourt personnel except by order of the Court.”

by persons authorized to have access to such materials pursuant to paragraph 8, as applicable, 

who shall return the information to the Clerk in a sealed envelope. Any envelope containing 

Confidential Information filed under seal that is an exhibit to a pleading shall also bear the name

d. If any party objects to identified portions of the materials remaining under

parties in this Litigation. The interested parties shall promptly meet and confer to attempt to 

resolve those objections and, if they cannot be resolved, shall promptly tender those objections to 

the Court for resolution. A revised public filing, if any, of that submission shall be made by the 

submitting party within six business days after the Court’s decision resolving that dispute. 

8. Disclosure of Confidential Information 

Access to information designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” pursuant to this Order shall be 

limited to: 

a. The Court or any other court exercising jurisdiction with respect to this 

Litigation, Court personnel, jurors, and qualified persons (including necessary clerical personnel) 

records, taking or transcribing testimony and argument at any deposition, hearing, trial or appeal 

in this Litigation; 

b. Mediators or other individuals engaged or consulted in settlement of this
