Case No.: 3:17-cv-04187-JST 

STIPULATION 

The above-captioned parties through their undersigned attorneys of record hereby stipulate 

and agree as follows: 

Whereas, on January 22, 2019, Rearden attorney Mark Carlson served and filed Rearden’s 

Administrative Motion to File Under Seal certain documents designated by defendants and nonparties Digital Domain 3.0 (“DD3”) and Microsoft as confidential pursuant to the Protective Order in 

the present case and portions of its opposition brief referencing such documents; 

Whereas, Rearden served non-parties DD3 and Microsoft by email on January 23, 2019 with 

a copy of the Declaration of Mark Carlson in Support of Administrative Motion to File Under Seal in 

compliance with Local Rule 79-5(e); 

Whereas, the service packages erroneously included confidential materials of both 

defendants and non-parties; 

Whereas, Mr. Carlson learned of the error at 6:12 PM on January 29, 2019 by email from 

Scott Kolassa of DD3 (who represented that DD3 had properly suspended review of the service 

package upon discovery of the confidential materials), responded at 6:23 PM that Mr. Kolassa should 

delete the service package and promised to serve materials in conformance with Local Rule 79-5(e) 

promptly; 

Whereas, at 8:17 AM on January 30 Mr. Carlson contacted Jennifer Yokoyama of Microsoft 

by email and informed her of the error, requested that copies of the service package be deleted, and 

promised to serve materials in conformance with Local Rule 79-5(e) promptly, Ms. Yokoyama 

replied that she had not received the service package, and shortly thereafter replied further that she 

had found it in her spam folder and deleted it; and 

Whereas, although both non-parties have confirmed that they did not review any confidential 

information erroneously included in the administrative motion service packages, Mr. Carlson 

assumes sole and exclusive responsibility for the above unintentional violation of the Protective

Order with respect to the non-party service packages, and if someone is to be held accountable, Mr. 

Carlson requests that it be him alone; 

Whereas, neither the Defendants nor third parties DD3 and Microsoft waive their rights to 

seek further redress for Plaintiffs’ actions by joining in this stipulation and all rights are reserved; 

The parties stipulate and agree that Rearden shall re-serve Microsoft and DD3 with the 

Declaration of Mark Carlson in Support of Administrative Motion to File Under Seal, as well as a 

redacted version of Plaintiff’s Opposition, and only provide those excerpts and documents that 

pertain to them and that Microsoft and DD3 may have four business days from the date of the order 

below to submit a responsive declaration pursuant to Local Rule 79-5(e)(1). The parties further 

stipulate and agree that Defendants may have an additional four business days from this order to file 

any supplemental papers necessary in response to Plaintiffs’ amended filings. 

So stipulated:
