discovery of certain documents and testimony concerning: (1) Plaintiffs’ confidential financial, medical, 

and psychological records, as well as other confidential information protected from disclosure by state 

or federal law and (2) Defendant’s confidential research, development, trade secrets, commercial 

information, competitively-sensitive information, as well as patient-or-reporter-identifying information 

protected from disclosure by state or federal law. The information sought to be protected is properly 

subject to protection under FRCP Rule 26(c). Such documents, testimony, and information are referred 

to below as “Confidential Information.” To preserve the confidentiality of such information, it is 

ordered as follows: 

2. Designation by Producing Party. A party producing documents or serving written 

discovery responses that contain Confidential Information shall designate such documents with the word 

“Confidential” to signify that they contain information believed to be subject to protection. Such 

marking will not obscure, alter, or interfere with the legibility of the original document. Documents so 

marked are referred to in this Order as “Protected Documents.” For purposes of this Order, the term 

“document” means all written, recorded, or graphic material, whether produced or Seated by a party or 

another person, whether produced pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, subpoena, by 

agreement, or otherwise. Interrogatory answers, responses to requests for admissions, deposition 

transcripts and exhibits, pleadings, motions, affidavits, and briefs that quote, summarize, or contain 

materials entitled to protection may be accorded status as Protected Documents, but, to the extent 

feasible, shall be prepared in such a manner that the Confidential Information is bound separately from 

that not entitled to protection. 

3. Redactions. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 2 above, Defendant may 

redact from any Protected Document any trade secrets or other highly confidential research, 

development or commercial information that it contends is not relevant to the litigation. If, after 

reviewing a document containing a redaction a party has a good faith basis for challenging the redaction, 

counsel for the parties shall initially attempt to resolve the issue through discussions. If these 

discussions prove unsuccessful, counsel may move for a ruling, which may require this Court’s in 

camera inspection of a document, on the issue of whether certain information is entitled to redaction. If 

this Court finds that said information should remain confidential, then said information may not be used

as evidence by either party at trial or at a hearing and may not be relied upon by either parties’ retained 

or non-retained experts. If this Court finds that said information is not confidential, and if this Court 

orders Defendant to produce the document without redaction, Defendant shall produce the non-redacted 

document. 

4. Depositions. Protected Documents may be used or marked as exhibits in depositions. If 

deposition testimony discloses Confidential Information, counsel for the deponent or the party with 

whom the deponent is affiliated shall inform the deposing counsel of the confidentiality of any such 

testimony not later than 15 days after receiving a copy of the deposition transcript or by making the 

confidential designation on the record at the deposition. Until expiration of the 15-day period, the entire 

deposition will be treated as subject to protection against disclosure under this Order. If no party or 

deponent timely designates confidential information in a deposition, then none of the transcript or its 

exhibits will be treated as confidential. If a designation is made, all such testimony, and each deposition 

transcript, recording, or portion thereof that is so designated, shall be treated as Confidential Information 

unless otherwise agreed to by the parties or directed by order of the Court. (A deponent is “affiliated” 

with a party if he or she is a past or present officer, director, shareholder, agent, employee, consultant, 

representative, relative, or friend of such party.) 

5. Non-Disclosure of Confidential Information. Confidential Information shall not be 

disclosed in any way to anyone for any purpose other than as required for the preparation and trial of 

this action. Access to Confidential Information shall be limited to those persons designated as Qualified 

Persons below. All Qualified Persons given access to Confidential Information shall keep all such 

information confidential from all other persons except as specifically provided in this Order. 

6.

7.

Neither the parties nor their attorneys shall designate any material as “Confidential” 

without first making a good faith determination that protection is warranted 

Qualified Persons. Confidential Information may be disclosed only to the following 

persons (hereinafter referred to as “Qualified Persons”):

Counsel of record in this action and their employees (including outside copy 

 services) who are materially assisting counsel in the preparation for trial of 

 this action; 

Experts and consultants retained by the parties whose assistance is 

 necessary for trial preparation of this specific action, provided that no such 

 disclosure shall be made to any person currently employed by or who is a 

 consultant for any competitor of Defendant or has plans to be employed or 

 consultant for any competitor of Defendant; 

The Court and the Court’s employees and staff; 

Authors or original recipients of the Confidential Information; 

Witnesses at a deposition in this case who are appearing for deposition in 

 this case voluntarily or pursuant to a validly issued subpoena and who are 

 not former or current employees of a competitor of the Defendant; and 

Any person mutually agreed upon among the parties. 

Non-Disclosure to Competitors. In no event shall any disclosure of Confidential 

Information be made to competitors of Defendant, or to any person who, upon reasonable and good faith 

inquiry could be determined to be employees or consultants of a competitor of Defendant irrespective of 

whether they are retained as an expert in this action. 

9. Qualified Persons Bound by Order. Before being given access to any Confidential 

Information, each Qualified Person, other than those persons identified in paragraph 6(e) and (g), above, 

shall be advised of the terms of this Order, shall be given a copy of this Order, shall agree in writing to 

be bound by the terms of this Order by signing a copy of the Non-Disclosure Agreement attached hereto 

as Exhibit “A,” and consent to the exercise of personal jurisdiction by this Court in any proceeding(s) to 

determine if the signatory violated this Order, and in any related proceeding. Counsel for each party 

shall maintain a list of all Qualified Persons to whom they or their client(s) have provided any 

Confidential Information, including records of specific protected documents or other Confidential 

Information disclosed to each such person, which list shall be available for inspection by the Court. 

 Before any witness referenced in paragraph 6(g) is questioned or shown Confidential 

Information produced by Defendant at a deposition in the case, it must first be established that the 

document or information in question which contains the Confidential Information (1) specifically 

references the witness being deposed; (2) relates to a subject matter that the witness was personally

involved in and that the witness had specific, first-hand personal knowledge about that subject matter; or 

(3) is correspondence to or from the witness being deposed. Once this is established, the witness (and 

his or her counsel) may be questioned or shown the Confidential Information provided, however, that 

the witness (and his or her counsel) are advised of the terms of this Protective Order and that any 

discussions of Confidential Information or use of documents containing Confidential Information at the 

deposition (including marked exhibits) will be designated as Confidential pursuant to paragraph 4 of this 

Order. The witness may review his or her testimony containing the Confidential Information for 

purposes of completing the errata sheet within thirty (30) days of receiving a copy of the deposition 

transcript from the court reporter but may not keep any portion of the transcript that discusses the 

Confidential Information. Further, the witness must return the portions of the transcript containing the 

Confidential Information to the court reporter once the witness has completed the errata sheet. Any 

documents used at the deposition which contain Confidential Information (including marked exhibits) 

shall not be kept or maintained by the witness (or his or her counsel) unless these individuals first agree 

in writing to be bound by the terms of this Order by signing a copy of the Non-Disclosure Agreement 

attached hereto as Exhibit “A,” and consent to the exercise of personal jurisdiction by this Court in any 

proceeding(s) to determine if the signatory violated this Order, and in any related proceeding. 

10. Return of Confidential Information by Qualified Persons. Any Confidential 

Information distributed or disclosed to a Qualified Person other than those persons identified in 

paragraph 6(f), above, shall be returned to the party’s counsel who provided it to the Qualified Person at 

the completion of the Qualified Person’s consultation or representation in this case. Upon the request of 

the producing party or the Court, each such Qualified Person shall execute an affidavit stating that all 

such documents and copies thereof have been returned as required. 

11. Use of Confidential Information In Court. A Party may not file Confidential 

Information in the public record without first securing a court order and providing notice to all interested 

persons. A Party seeking to file Confidential Information with the Court in connection with discovery 

or other pre-trial motions or proceedings shall file a motion to authorize the filing of documents 

containing such Confidential Information under seal and a proposed order pursuant to Local Rule 39-

141. Subsequent to the filing of this motion, the non-filing Party shall have a reasonable amount of time 

to file a response to the motion, supporting the confidentiality and sealing of such documents. 

Documents authorized for filing under seal shall not be filed electronically. Instead, an electronically 

filed "Notice of Filing Sealed Document" shall be filed and designated as accompanying the motion, 

response or other related document and the documents shall be submitted to the Court pursuant to Local 

Rule 39-141 in sealed envelopes or other appropriately sealed containers on which shall appear the title 

of the document AND the following legend: 

FILED UNDER SEAL - The enclosed materials are subject to a Protective Order entered 

by the United States District Court of the Eastern District of California, Sacramento 

Division, in the case of Terri O’Neal, Individually and as successor-in-interest to the 

Estate of Benjamin L. Bratt, and Barry Bratt, Individually v. SmithKline Beecham 

Corporation d/b/a GlaxoSmithKline, et al., Case No. 2:06-cv-01063. This envelope 

MAY NOT BE OPENED without court order by anyone other than the Court, Court 

personnel, or the filing party’s counsel of record. 

12. Security of Confidential Information. Except as specifically provided in this Order, 

counsel shall keep all Confidential Information and Protected Documents produced to them within their 

exclusive possession and control, shall take all necessary and prudent measures to maintain the 

confidentiality of such materials and information, and shall not permit unauthorized dissemination of 

such materials to anyone. 

13. Subpoena by Other Courts or Agencies. If another court or an administrative agency 

subpoenas or orders production of Protected Documents or Confidential Information that a party has 

obtained under the terms of this Order, the party shall promptly notify the producing party of the 

pendency of such subpoena or other. The subpoenaed party shall cooperate in good faith with the 

producing party in facilitating the producing party’s effort to intervene in the proceeding, quash the 

subpoena or other reasonable action to seek appropriate relief. 

14. Disposition of Confidential Information. Upon the request of any party after the final 

conclusion of this action (including without limitation any appeals and after the time for filing all 

appellate proceedings has passed), each party shall return all Confidential Information to counsel for the 

party that produced it or destroy it, or as otherwise ordered by the Court. The return or destruction of 

Confidential Information under this paragraph shall include, without limitation, all copies, and

duplications thereof. The parties shall certify that all Confidential Information required to be returned or 

destroyed has been so returned or destroyed within 14 days of receipt of a written request for 

certification. Unless otherwise ordered by the Court, counsel may retain: (1) copies of pleadings or 

other papers that have been filed with the Court and that contain Confidential Information; (2) their 

work product; and (3) official transcripts and exhibits thereto. The terms and provisions of this Order 

shall continue to apply to any such materials retained by counsel. 

15. Order Survives Termination of Action. After the termination of this action by entry of 

a final judgment or order of dismissal, the provisions of this Order shall continue to be binding. This 

Order is, and shall be deemed to be, an enforceable agreement between the parties, their agents, and 

their attorneys. The terms of this Order may be enforced by specific performance in any court of 

competent jurisdiction. 

16. Parties Bound by Order. This Order shall be binding upon the parties, upon their 

attorneys, expert witnesses, consultants, and upon their successors, executors, personal representatives, 

administrators, heirs, legal representatives, assigns, subsidiaries, divisions, employees, agents, 

independent contractors, relatives, and other persons or organizations over whom or which the subject 

parties have control. The parties, their attorneys, and employees of such attorneys, and their expert 

witnesses, consultants, and representatives retained in connection with this action each expressly 

stipulates to the personal jurisdiction of this Court for purposes of any proceeding brought by a party to 

this action to enforce this Order. 

17. No Waiver of Objections. Neither this Order nor any of the procedures described above 

affects or constitutes a waiver of any party’s right to object to the relevancy, admissibility or 

discoverability of any information or document or to seek an order that discovery or admissibility be had 

only subject to appropriate limits or restrictions, as provided by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the 

Federal Rules of Evidence, the Local Rules of Civil Procedure, or other applicable rules or law. 

18. No Waiver of Any Privilege. This Order does not affect or constitute a waiver of any 

party’s right to withhold or redact information protected from disclosure by the attorney-client privilege, 

physician-patient privilege, work product doctrine, or other applicable privilege, protection, law, or

regulation, or to seek appropriate protective orders respecting documents asserted to be subject to such 

privilege. The parties, by producing documents in this litigation that contain the name(s) of patients or 

physicians, in no way waives any duties to protect the identities of patients or physicians. 

19. Parties’ Use of Own Confidential Information or Information Available From NonConfidential Sources. Nothing in this Order shall limit a party’s right to disclose or use its own 

information and documents to any person for any purpose, nor does it limit a party’s right to disclose or 

use information and documents which are publicly available or available to the party through nonconfidential sources (even if such information and documents are also produced by a party in this case 

and designated by that party as Confidential) to any person for any purpose. 

20. Burden of Proof and Challenges to Confidential Information. The party designating 

information, documents, materials or items as confidential bears the burden of establishing 

confidentiality. Nothing in this Order shall constitute a waiver of any party’s right to object to the 

designation or non-designation of a particular document as confidential. If a party contends that any 

document has been erroneously or improperly designated or not designated “Confidential,” the 

document at issue shall be treated as confidential until (a) the parties reach a written agreement; or (b) 

this Court issues an order stating that the document is not confidential and shall not be given 

confidential treatment. 

In the event that a party disagrees with a party’s designation of any document or information as 

confidential or disagrees with a party’s failure to designate a document or information confidential, the 

objecting party shall advise counsel for the designating party, in writing, of the objection and identify 

the document or item with sufficient specificity to permit identification. Within 15 days of receiving the 

objection, the designating party shall advise the objecting party’s counsel whether the designating party 

will change the designation of the document or item. If this cannot be resolved between the parties, then 

the dispute will be presented to the Court by motion. 

21. Inadvertent Production or Disclosure of Confidential Information. In the event that 

a party inadvertently produces Confidential Information, without the required “Confidential” legend, the 

producing party shall contact the receiving party within 30 days of the production, or as promptly as 

JOINT AGREED PROTECTIVE ORDER CASE NO.: 2:06-CV-1063 FCD-DAD

reasonably possible thereafter, and inform the receiving party or parties in writing of the inadvertent 

production and the specific material at issue. Upon receipt of such notice, the receiving party or parties 

shall treat the material identified in the notice as confidential until (a) the parties agree to nonconfidential treatment of the subject material, or (b) the Court, on motion of any party, issues an order 

addressing the appropriate treatment of the subject material. 

22. Inadvertent Production or Disclosure of Privileged Information. If a producing party 

inadvertently or unintentionally produces to a receiving party any documents or information subject to a 

claim of privilege or immunity from discovery (including but not limited to attorney-client privilege, 

work product, and immunities created by federal or state statute or regulation), the producing party shall, 

within 30 days of the discovery of the inadvertent production, or as promptly as reasonably possible 

thereafter, give notice to the receiving party in writing of the producing party’s claim of privilege or 

immunity from discovery. Thereafter, the receiving party shall immediately return to the producing 

party the original and all copies of the privileged materials, including copies of the privileged materials 

disseminated to other persons by the receiving party. Such inadvertent or unintentional disclosure shall 

not be deemed a waiver in whole or in part of the producing party’s claim of privilege or immunity from 

discovery, either as to specific documents and information disclosed or on the same or related subject 

matter. In the event that the receiving party disagrees with the producing party’s claim of privilege or 

immunity from discovery, then the receiving party shall notify the producing party within five (5) 

business days of receipt of the producing party’s written notice of claim of privilege or immunity, and 

shall set forth the precise grounds upon which the receiving party’s position rests. If the parties cannot 

resolve the matter, then the dispute will be presented to the Court by motion filed under seal. Any 

responses thereto shall be filed under seal as well. From the moment a party provides notice of 

inadvertent production, a receiving party shall not copy, distribute, or otherwise use in any manner the 

disputed documents or information, and shall instruct all persons to whom the receiving party has 

disseminated a copy of the documents or information that the documents or information are subject to 

this Order and may not be copied, distributed, or otherwise used pending the motion and further notice 

from the Court.
