STIPULATED PROTECTIVE

ORDER; [PROPOSED] ORDER

(Doc. 42)

1. A. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS

Discovery in this action is likely to involve the 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 may 

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 from public disclosure and use extends 

only to the limited information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment 

under the applicable legal principles. The parties further acknowledge, as set forth 

in Section 12.3 below, that this Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to

file confidential information under seal; Civil Local Rule 141 sets forth the 

procedures that must be followed and the standards that will be applied when a 

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

B. GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT

This action, which involves a dispute concerning negotiations for the sale of 

a 2,400+ acre almond farm, is likely to involve valuable and non-public

commercial, financial, technical development, and proprietary information for 

which special protection from public disclosure and from use for any purpose other 

than prosecution of this action is warranted. Such confidential and proprietary 

materials and information consist of, among other things, records and information 

relating to negotiations concerning the disposal of real property, confidential 

property performance data, confidential business and financial information, 

investment information, information regarding confidential business practices, and

other confidential research, development, and commercial information (including 

information implicating privacy rights of third parties), information otherwise 

generally unavailable to the public, and information which may be privileged or 

otherwise protected from disclosure under state or federal statutes, court rules, case 

decisions, or common law. Without admitting the relevance, discoverability, or 

admissibility of such documents, the parties anticipate that confidential and 

proprietary materials at issue in this action may include reports and documents

relating to value, offers, counteroffers, negotiations, financial reports, planting 

maps, well maps, property surveys, farm production histories, irrigation reports, 

soil reports, water allocation reports, well completion reports, water analysis 

reports, tissue sample reports, irrigation equipment lists, property photographs, 

draft real estate purchase agreements, offering process and bid forms, business 

plans, pacing models, bank statements, property management agreements, and 

communications discussing, referencing, or otherwise incorporating any of the 

aforementioned materials or information. Accordingly, to expedite the flow of 

information, to facilitate the prompt resolution of disputes over confidentiality of 

discovery materials, to adequately protect information the parties are entitled to 

keep confidential, to ensure that the parties are permitted reasonable necessary uses 

of such material in preparation for and in the conduct of trial, to address their 

handling at the end of the litigation, and to serve the ends of justice, a protective 

order for such information is justified in this matter. It is the intent of the parties 

that information will not be designated as confidential for tactical reasons and that 

nothing be so designated without a good faith belief that it has been maintained in 

a confidential, non-public manner, and there is good cause why it should not be 

part of the public record of this case.

2.14 Protected Material: any Disclosure or Discovery Material that is 

designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.”

2.15 Receiving Party: a Party that receives Disclosure or Discovery 

Material from a Producing Party.

3. SCOPE

The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only

Protected Material (as defined above), but also (1) any information copied or

extracted from Protected Material, (2) all copies, excerpts, summaries, or

compilations of Protected Material, and (3) any testimony, conversations, or

presentations by Parties or their Counsel that might reveal Protected Material. Any 

use of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by the orders of the trial judge. 

This Order does not govern the use of Protected Material at trial.

4. DURATION

Even after final disposition 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. Final disposition shall be 

deemed to be the later of (1) dismissal of all claims and defenses in this Action, 

with or without prejudice; and (2) final judgment herein after the completion and 

exhaustion of all appeals, rehearings, remands, trials, or reviews of this Action, 

including the time limits for filing any motions or applications for extension of 

time pursuant to applicable law.

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. The Designating Party must 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. If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that 

information or items that it designated for protection do not qualify for protection, 

that Designating Party must promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing 

the inapplicable designation.

5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in

this Order or as otherwise stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery 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 (e.g., paper or electronic

documents, but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial

proceedings), that the Producing Party affix at a minimum, the legend

“CONFIDENTIAL” to each page that contains protected material, or in the case of 

documents produced in their native format, include the name “CONFIDENTIAL in 

the file name. To the extent that a party other than the Producing Party wishes to 

designate documents produced by another party or non-party as 

“CONFIDENTIAL,” the Designating Party shall confirm the designation in 

writing to all other parties within 15 business days of the Designating Party’s

receipt of the documents. If only a portion or portions of the material on a page

qualifies for protection, the Designating Party must clearly identify the protected

portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins). 

(b) for testimony given in depositions, that the Designating Party 

identify the Disclosure or Discovery Material on the record before the close of the

deposition all protected testimony, or, upon review of the deposition transcript, so 

long as such designation is confirmed in writing to all other counsel within thirty 

(30) days of counsel’s receipt of a certified transcript from the court reporter. If a

portion of a deposition is designated during the course of a deposition, counsel 

may request all persons, except persons entitled to receive the confidential 

information pursuant to this protective order, to leave the room while the 

deposition is proceeding until completion of the answer or answers containing 

confidential information. 

(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 is 

stored the legend “CONFIDENTIAL,” or to the extent that a party other than the 

Producing Party wishes to designate information by another party or non-party as 

“CONFIDENTIAL”, the Designating Party shall confirm the designation in 

writing to all other parties within 15 business days of the Designating Party’s

receipt of the information. If only a portion or portions of the information warrants 

protection, the Designating Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the

protected portion(s).

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

failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive

the Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such 

material. Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party 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 Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a designation of 

confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the Court’s Scheduling Order

after engaging in reasonable meet and confer efforts with the Designating Party. 

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

Designating Party. Frivolous challenges and those made for an improper purpose 

(e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may

expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating Party has 

waived or withdrawn the confidentiality designation, all parties shall continue to 

afford the material in question the level of protection to which it is entitled under 

the Designating Party’s designation until the Court rules on the challenge.

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

Action only for prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this Action. Such

Protected Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons and under 

the conditions described in this Order. When the Action has been terminated, a

Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of Section 13 below. 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 Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably

necessary to disclose the information for this Action; 

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

of the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action;

(c) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom

disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed the

“Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);

(d) the court and its personnel;

(e) court reporters and their staff;

(f) professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, and Professional

Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have

signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);

(g) the author or recipient of a document containing the information or 

a custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information;

(h) during their depositions, witnesses, and attorneys for witnesses, in 

the Action to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary, provided: (1) the deposing 

party requests that the witness sign the form attached as Exhibit 1 hereto; and (2) 

they will not be permitted to keep any confidential information unless they sign the

“Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A), unless otherwise

agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the court. Pages of transcribed

deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material may

be separately bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone 

except as permitted under this Stipulated Protective Order; and

(i) any mediator or settlement officer, and their supporting personnel,

mutually agreed upon by any of the parties engaged in settlement discussions.

8. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED

IN OTHER LITIGATION

If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation

that compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this Action as

“CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must:

(a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification

shall include a copy of the subpoena or court order;

(b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or 

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

subpoena or order is subject to this Protective Order. Such notification shall 

include a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order; and

(c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be

pursued by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.

If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served 

with the subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in 

this action as “CONFIDENTIAL” before a determination by the court from which 

the subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s

permission. The Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense 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. A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE

PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION

(a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by 

a Non-Party in this Action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such 

information produced by Non-Parties in connection with this litigation is protected 

by the remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in these provisions 

should be construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional 

protections.

(b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, 

to produce a Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party 

is subject to an agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s

confidential information, then the Party shall:

(1) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the 

Non-Party that some or all of the information requested is subject to a 

confidentiality agreement with a Non-Party;

(2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the 

Stipulated Protective Order in this Action, the relevant discovery request(s), and a 

reasonably specific description of the information requested; and

(3) make the information requested available for inspection by

the Non-Party, if requested.

(c) If the Non-Party fails to seek a protective order from this Court 

within 14 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the 

Receiving Party may produce the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive 

to the discovery request. If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the 

Receiving Party shall not produce any information in its possession or control that 

is subject to the confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a 

determination by the court. Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party 

shall bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in this court of its 

Protected Material.

10. 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 unauthorized 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” attached hereto as Exhibit A.

11. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE

PROTECTED MATERIAL

When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain

inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other 

protection, the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal 

Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). 

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.

12.3 Filing Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any

Protected Material must comply with Civil Local Rule 141. Protected Material 

may only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the

specific Protected Material at issue. If a Party's request to file Protected Material

under seal is denied by the court, then the Receiving Party may file the information

in the public record unless otherwise instructed by the court.

13. FINAL DISPOSITION

After the final disposition of this Action, as defined in Section 4, except as 

otherwise required by law or existing document retention policies, within 60 days 

of a written request by the Designating Party, each Receiving Party must return all 

Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such material. As used in this 

subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts, compilations,

summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected

Material. 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 60 day deadline that (1) 

identifies (by category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was 

returned or destroyed and (2) affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any 

copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or 

capturing any of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel 

are entitled to retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, 

deposition, and hearing transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition

measures including, without limitation, contempt proceedings and/or monetary

sanctions.
