Plaintiff SHASHI KHANNA, suing individually and as Successor in Interest of

Amankumar Khanna, deceased, by and on behalf of Amankumar Khanna, all others similarly

situated, and the general public (collectively, “Plaintiff”) and Defendants INTER-CON

SECURITY SYSTEMS, INC., a California Corporation D/B/A/ HEALTHCARE SECURITY

SERVICES GROUP, a putative independent entity; ENRIQUE HERNANDEZ, JR., an

individual; NEIL MARTAU, an individual; LANCE MUELLER, an individual; ROLAND A.

HERNANDEZ, an individual; PAUL R. MILLER, an individual; MICHAEL P. MACHARG, an

individual; JEANNE GERVIN, an individual; JANA FANNING, an individual; LINDA

SAYAD, an individual; (collectively, “Defendants”) hereby stipulate, in accordance with Federal

Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c)(1)(G), to the following Protective Order Re: Confidential

Information, for the purpose of governing the disclosure during pretrial discovery and the

subsequent handling of trade secret information, proprietary information, other confidential

commercial, financial, medical, or personal information subject to the California Constitutional

Right of Privacy, any other statutory protection (including but not limited to the Uniform Trade

Secrets Act), and/or to the common law, and documents containing any such information

(hereinafter collectively referred to as “CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION”). 

1. Initial Designations

1.1 Good Faith Claims. 

Claims of confidentiality will be made only with respect to documents, other tangible

things, and information that the asserting party has a good faith belief is legally entitled to

protection from discovery and disclosure under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and

applicable federal and California case law. Objections to such claims made pursuant to

paragraph 3 shall also be made in good faith. 

1.2 Produced Documents. 

A party producing documents that it believes constitute or contain CONFIDENTIAL

INFORMATION shall produce copies bearing a label that identifies them as CONFIDENTIAL

AND PROPOSED ORDER 4 CASE NO. 2:09-CV-02214-GEB-GGH

INFORMATION. No particular form of label is required so long as it indicates that the document

contains CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. The label shall be affixed in a manner that does not

obliterate or obscure the contents of the copies. As used herein, the term “documents” includes

all writings, other media on which information is recorded, and other tangible things subject to

production under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure or federal law . 

1.3 Interrogatory Answers. 

If a party answering an interrogatory believes that its answer contains CONFIDENTIAL

INFORMATION, it shall set forth that answer in a separate document that is produced and

designated as CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION in the same manner as a produced document

under subparagraph 1.2. The answers to interrogatories shall make reference to the

separately-produced document containing the answer, but such document should not be attached

to the interrogatories. 

1.4 Inspections of Documents. 

If a party responding to discovery elects to allow another party to inspect records and files

maintained by the responding party (instead of affirmatively producing copies of those records

and files to the requesting party), no designation of CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION needs to

be made in advance of the inspection. For purposes of such inspection, all material produced for

inspection shall be treated as CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, but only until such time as the

inspecting party conducts the inspection and identifies specified documents to be copied. Once

the inspecting party makes such an identification, the responding party shall designate any

documents it believes contain CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION in accordance with Paragraph

1.2 herein at the time the copies are produced. 

1.5 Deposition Transcripts. 

In order to relieve the parties from having to address questions of confidentiality during

the course of a deposition, each deposition transcript shall be treated as CONFIDENTIAL

INFORMATION, for a period of twenty-one (21) days following the deposition reporter’s

preparation of said transcript. At the conclusion of the twenty-one day period, the deposition

transcript shall no longer be treated as CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, unless a party

informs the other parties of one or more portions of the transcript that it wishes to designate as

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. If such a designation is made, only those portions

designated as CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION shall be treated as CONFIDENTIAL. In the

event a party orders the deposition transcript after the expiration of the aforementioned

twenty-one day period, the party shall have ten (10) days from the time of receipt of said

transcript to designate portions as CONFIDENTIAL. All parties in possession of a copy of a

designated deposition transcript shall appropriately mark it as containing CONFIDENTIAL

INFORMATION. 

1.6 Multi-page Documents. 

A party may designate all pages of an integrated, multipage document, including a

deposition transcript and interrogatory answers, as CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION by

placing the label specified in subparagraph 1.2 on the first page of the document. If a party

wishes to designate only certain portions of an integrated, multi-page document as

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, it should designate such portions immediately below the

label on the first page of the document and place the label specified in subparagraph 1.2 on each

page of the document containing CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. 

2. Designations by Another Party. 

If a party other than the producing party believes that a producing party has produced a

document that contains or constitutes CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION of such other party, it

may designate the document as CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION by so notifying all parties in

writing within fourteen days of its receipt of the document.

3. Objections to Designations. 

3.1 Generally. 

Any party objecting to an initial designation of CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION,

including objection to portions of designations of multi-page documents, shall serve the

designating party with notice of the objection within sixty (60) days of the receipt of the

designation or within thirty days of entry of this order, whichever comes later. The objecting and

the designating parties shall promptly confer in an attempt to resolve their differences. If they are

unable to resolve their differences, the designating party, if it wishes to maintain the designation,

shall have thirty (30) days from the service of the objection to file with the Court a motion to

maintain the CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION designation. During the pendency of such

motion, all parties shall treat the material that is the subject of the motion as CONFIDENTIAL

INFORMATION until the Court rules on the motion. The party seeking to have material

designated as CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION maintained as CONFIDENTIAL shall bear the

burden of establishing the material’s status as CONFIDENTIAL, and shall demonstrate good

cause for such a designation, which shall include establishing that the document qualifies for

confidential treatment under the law. If a motion to designate information as CONFIDENTIAL

under the provisions of Paragraph 3.1 is made or resisted without substantial justification, the

prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys fees and costs incurred in making or

resisting the motion. 

3.2 Near Trial. 

As necessary, the Court may consider and issue at a later date a further Order to address

designations received near the date of trial. 

4. Custody. 

All CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION and any and all copies, extracts and summaries

thereof, including memoranda relating thereto, shall be retained by the receiving party in the

custody of counsel of record, or by persons to whom disclosure is authorized under subparagraph

STIPULATED CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT KHANNA V. INTER-CON, et al.

AND PROPOSED ORDER 7 CASE NO. 2:09-CV-02214-GEB-GGH

5.1. Paragraph 11 addresses in detail the handling of CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION after

the conclusion of this litigation. 

5. Handling Prior to Trial. 

5.1 Authorized Disclosures. 

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION may be disclosed by the receiving party only to its

employees who are authorized to assist in the litigation; to its counsel (including employees of its

counsel); to the Court (subject to the procedures stated below); to qualified persons taking

testimony involving such information; and to the party’s expert witnesses and consultants.

However, a party may disclose CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION to its expert witnesses and

consultants only after obtaining the person’s express written acknowledgment to be bound by this

Protective Order on the form prescribed in Appendix A or, with respect to material provided

prior to the entry of this order, after obtaining the person’s assurance that he will treat the

material in the manner to be prescribed by this order. Such disclosures are authorized only to the

extent necessary to investigate, prosecute, or defend this litigation. 

5.2 Unauthorized Disclosures. 

If CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION is disclosed to any person other than in the manner

authorized by this Protective Order, the party or person responsible for the disclosure, and any

other party or person who is subject to this Order and learns of such disclosure, shall immediately

bring such disclosure to the attention of the designating party. Without prejudice to other rights

and remedies of the designating party, the responsible party or person shall make every effort to

obtain the return of the CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION and to prevent further disclosure on

its own part or on the part of the person who was the unauthorized recipient of such information. 

5.3 Court Filings. 

If any CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION must be filed with the Court prior to trial, it

shall be filed in accordance with Local Rule 140 or Local Rule 141. This provision applies to

briefs, memoranda, and other filings that quote, summarize, or describe CONFIDENTIAL

INFORMATION.

6. Handling During Trial. 

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION that is subject to this Order may be marked and used

as trial exhibits by any party, subject to terms and conditions imposed by the Court upon

application by any party. 

7. No Implied Waivers. 

The entry of this Protective Order shall not be interpreted as a waiver of the right to

object, under applicable law, to the furnishing of information in response to discovery requests or

to object to a requested inspection of documents or facilities. Neither the agreement to, or the

taking of any action in accordance with, the provisions of this Protective Order, nor the failure to

object thereto, shall be interpreted as a waiver of any claim or position or defense in this action,

or any other actions. 

8. Inadvertent Production. 

Inadvertent production of a document that the producing party believes contains

attorney-client communications, attorney work product, or otherwise privileged information shall

not constitute a waiver of privilege. Any such inadvertently produced documents (including all

copies) shall be returned to the producing party immediately upon its request. If the receiving

party has disclosed the information to others before being notified or becoming aware of a claim

of privilege or protection, the receiving party must take reasonable steps to retrieve and return or

destroy the disclosed information.

9. Parties’ Own Documents. 

Except as provided in paragraph 2, this Protective Order shall in no way restrict the

parties in their use of their own documents and information, and nothing in this Order shall

preclude any party from voluntarily disclosing its own documents or information to any party or

nonparty. 

10. Prohibition on Use Outside this Litigation. 

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION shall not be used for any purpose in any litigation

other than this case. 

11. Handling Upon Conclusion of Litigation. 

Within 90 days of the conclusion of this litigation, all parties and counsel to this litigation

and all persons to whom disclosure was made shall return all CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

to the party that produced it, including copies and extracts of CONFIDENTIAL

INFORMATION. In lieu of returning CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, the person or party in

possession of such CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION may destroy it, but must so notify

counsel for the producing party. The attorney for the receiving party shall collect, assemble, and

return (or destroy) all CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. If requested by the producing party,

the attorney for the receiving party shall certify in writing that all such CONFIDENTIAL

INFORMATION has been destroyed. 

12. Further Protection. 

Nothing in this Stipulated Confidentiality Agreement and Order precludes any party from

seeking and obtaining from the Court a further protective order for any documents or information

that the party believes may not be sufficiently protected by this or other protective orders, and/or

to seek an Order from the Court to seal said document or information.
