Subject to the approval of this Court, it is hereby stipulated and agreed, by and between 

plaintiff E. & J. Gallo Winery (“Gallo Winery”), and defendant Cantine Rallo, S.p.A. (“Rallo”), 

through their counsel in the above-captioned action, as follows: 

1. Any Party (the word “Party” is used herein to refer to Plaintiff and Defendant) or 

any other party who later appears in this action or becomes bound by the terms of this 

Confidentiality Agreement And Stipulated Protective Order [Proposed] (the “Stipulated 

Protective Order”) may designate as “CONFIDENTIAL” any testimony, documents, records, or 

tangible things used, served, or produced by a Party (or by any other person or entity), which the 

designating Party in good faith believes contains, reflects, regards, or discloses that Party’s trade 

secret, confidential financial, research, development, business, or proprietary information. 

CONFIDENTIAL Information that is particularly sensitive, private, or competitively valuable 

may be designated “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL.” This Stipulated Protective Order shall apply 

to both “CONFIDENTIAL” and “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL” Information. 

2. No Party may disclose or use any CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL Information in a manner that does not comply with the terms and conditions of 

this Stipulated Protective Order. 

3. CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL Information shall not be used 

for any purpose other than the conduct of this litigation. No one shall be permitted access to 

CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL Information except to the extent necessary to 

assist in the prosecution, defense, settlement, or appeal of this action. Notwithstanding the 

foregoing, any Party may use its own CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL 

Information for any purpose. 

4. CONFIDENTIAL Information shall be disclosed only to “Qualified Persons.” As 

used herein, a Qualified Person is: 

(a) Any attorney acting as counsel of record in this action, including staff and 

supporting personnel of such attorneys (i.e., paralegal, office assistants, secretaries, stenographic 

or clerical employees or contractors, and outside copying services), to whom it is necessary that 

the materials be disclosed for purposes of this litigation;

(b) Any attorney employed by either of the Parties, including staff and supporting 

personnel of such attorneys (i.e., paralegal, office assistants, secretaries, stenographic or clerical 

employees or contractors, and outside copying services), to whom it is necessary that the 

materials be disclosed for purposes of this litigation, unless that attorney also serves as a nonlegal officer or director of a Party; 

(c) Any Party who is an individual, and the current officers, directors and other 

employees or agents of the Parties who are business entities, but (1) only to the extent necessary 

to assist in the conduct or preparation of this litigation; and (2) only after the Qualified Person 

complies with Paragraph 5 of this Stipulated Protective Order; 

(d) Any person who is expressly retained or sought to be retained by a Party as a 

consultant or as a testifying expert provided that CONFIDENTIAL Information shall only be 

disclosed to any such person (1) to the extent necessary for that person to perform his or her work 

on this litigation; and (2) after compliance with Paragraph 5 of this Stipulated Protective Order; 

(e) With respect to any particular document that has been designated as 

CONFIDENTIAL Information, the author or addressee of that particular document, as well as any 

person who prepared or reviewed that document prior to the date this action was filed; 

(f) Any person who is designated to receive CONFIDENTIAL Information by order 

of this Court or by written stipulation of the Parties; and 

(g) The Court, court personnel, and any court reporters used in connection with this 

litigation. 

However, HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL Information shall be disclosed only to a Qualified 

Person described in Paragraphs 4(a), 4(b), 4(d), 4(e), 4(f), and 4(g), and shall not be disclosed to a 

Qualified Person described in Paragraph 4(c). 

5. A Qualified Person described in Paragraphs 4(c) and 4(d) above shall not have 

access to CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL Information until he or she has 

certified in writing (by executing an Acknowledgment in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “A”) 

that he or she has read this Stipulated Protective Order and agrees to be bound by its terms. The 

Party disclosing CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL Information shall retain a

copy of all Acknowledgments signed by any Qualified Person to whom disclosure is made, and 

shall provide a copy of any such Acknowledgement to any other Party if so ordered by the Court. 

6. HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL Information may be disclosed to individuals who are 

not Qualified Persons (or who, although they are Qualified Persons for CONFIDENTIAL 

INFORMATION, are not Qualified Persons for HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL Information) if, and 

only if, counsel for the designating Party is notified prior to any such disclosure and consents in 

writing to that disclosure. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION may be disclosed to individuals 

who are not Qualified Persons if, and only if, counsel for the designating Party is notified prior to 

any such disclosure and consents in writing to that disclosure. If such written consent is given, 

each person to whom CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL Information is to be 

disclosed must first sign an Acknowledgment in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “A.” 

Counsel disclosing the CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL Information shall 

immediately forward copies of all Acknowledgments signed by any such individuals to all 

counsel. In the event that counsel for the Party that designated the information as 

CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL does not consent in writing to the requested 

disclosure, the Parties shall make a good faith effort to resolve the matter. If the parties are 

unable to resolve the matter, any Party may file a motion seeking permission from the Court to 

make the requested disclosure. If the Court then issues an Order granting permission to disclose, 

the Party seeking the Order may then disclose the CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL Information. 

7. Any person who receives CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL 

Information pursuant to this Stipulated Protective Order shall use and maintain such information 

in a manner that protects and preserves the confidentiality of such information. 

8. Parties shall designate CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL 

Information as follows: 

(a) In the case of documents, interrogatory answers, responses to requests for 

admissions, and the information contained therein, the parties shall designate 

(1) CONFIDENTIAL information by marking, as appropriate, each page of any such document as

“CONFIDENTIAL” and (2) HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL information by marking, as appropriate, 

each page of any such document as “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL.” A Party furnishing 

documents or things to another Party shall have the option to require that all or selected portions 

of those documents or things be treated as CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL 

Information during inspection, and also to designate particular documents and things as 

containing CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL Information at the time copies are 

made or produced. 

(b) In the case of depositions, any counsel may designate all or part of any deposition 

transcript (including exhibits) which contains CONFIDENTIAL OR HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL 

Information by making a statement so designating the material on the record during the course of 

the deposition. Such oral designations shall be valid and binding for a period up to thirty (30) 

days after the court reporter notifies all counsel that a completed transcript is available, after 

which they shall expire unless made in writing pursuant to the further provisions of this 

paragraph. In making such a designation, counsel shall attempt to identify and designate in good 

faith those portions of the transcript and exhibits which contain CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL Information, and those portions of the transcript and exhibits so identified shall 

be separately marked and bound by the court reporter and labeled as containing 

CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL Information. In addition, within thirty (30) 

days after the court reporter notifies all counsel that a completed transcript is available, any 

counsel may designate all or part of any deposition transcript (and/or exhibits) as containing 

CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL Information by serving a notice designating 

such information on the other Party, prior to which time the entire transcript shall remain 

CONFIDENTIAL (but not HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL unless expressly so-designated as set 

forth herein). Such notice shall specify the particular portions of the transcript and any exhibits 

that counsel wishes to designate as containing CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL 

Information by listing on a separate sheet of paper the numbers of the pages of the transcript and 

the particular exhibits containing such information, so that the sheet may be affixed to the face of 

the transcript and each copy of the transcript. If no counsel designates any portion of a transcript

as CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL on the record during the course of the 

deposition, or within the thirty (30) day period after counsel receives notice that a completed 

transcript is available, the transcript shall be deemed not to contain any such information. 

Portions of a transcript (including exhibits) designated as CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL Information may only be disclosed in accordance with the terms of this 

Stipulated Protective Order. 

(c) In the event that counsel for a Party believes it is necessary during the course of a 

deposition to show CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL Information to a deponent 

who is otherwise not permitted access to such information under the terms of this Protective 

Order, counsel may immediately seek consent to do so from counsel for the designating Party, 

who shall not unreasonably withhold such consent. If such consent is withheld, the requesting 

counsel may apply to the Court for relief. No such consent is required if the deponent previously 

had access to such CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL Information in the course of 

his or her employment or other responsibilities for the designating Party. 

9. Nothing contained in this Stipulated Protective Order constitutes an admission or 

waiver of any claim or defense by any Party, or shall affect the right of any Party to make any 

objection, claim any privilege, or otherwise contest any request for production of documents, 

interrogatory, request for admission, or question at a deposition, or to seek further relief or 

protective orders from the Court. 

10. In the event that any CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL 

Information is used in any court proceeding in connection with this litigation, it shall not lose its 

protected status under this Stipulated Protective Order through such use, and the Parties shall take 

all steps reasonably required to protect its confidentiality during such proceedings. 

11. A Party shall not be obligated to challenge the propriety of a CONFIDENTIAL or 

HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL Information designation at the time such a designation is made, and 

a failure to do so shall not preclude a subsequent challenge to the confidentiality of that 

information. In the event that any Party disagrees at any stage of these proceedings with the 

propriety of any designation of CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL Information,

that Party shall provide to the designating Party written notice of its disagreement and shall 

thereafter make a good faith effort to resolve the dispute. If the dispute cannot be resolved, the 

Party challenging the propriety of the designation may file a duly noticed motion requesting 

appropriate relief from the Court.

12. No Party shall file CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL Information 

in the public record without the permission of the designating Party or an order of the Court 

secured after appropriate notice to all interested persons. 

13. To the extent necessary to prevent the disclosure in the public record of 

CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL Information, any pretrial motion, opposition, 

reply, and any supporting document(s) may be filed in the public record with any 

CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL Information redacted from such documents, 

provided the Party proposing to submit the CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL 

Information to the Court simultaneously makes an application under Local Rule 39-141 to file the 

unredacted documents and CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL Information under 

seal and serves a copy of such unredacted documents and CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL Information on the other Parties. 

14. The designating Party hereby authorizes any other Party who intends to file under 

seal any CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL Information of the designating Party, 

to make an application for an order under Local Rule 39-141 to file such CONFIDENTIAL or 

HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL Information of the designating Party under seal and agrees that any 

such request by the Party who intends to file such information under seal, is made without 

prejudice to the right of the requesting Party to later challenge the designation of 

CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL. 

15. Documents produced by any Party prior to the date this Stipulated Protective 

Order is entered by the Court (and the information contained in those documents) shall be treated 

by the Parties as CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL Information, as designated, 

under this Stipulated Protective Order.

16. Within sixty (60) days after the termination of litigation between the Parties, each 

Party shall, upon the request of a designating Party, either (1) return CONFIDENTIAL or 

HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL Information to the party that produced it, or (2) destroy the 

CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL Information and provide to the Party that 

produced it a statement under penalty of perjury certifying that that information has been 

destroyed. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, outside counsel for each Party may retain 

one complete and unredacted set of pleadings and papers filed with the Court or served on the 

other Parties (including documents produced by any Party) solely for reference in the event of, 

and only in the event of (i) further proceedings or litigation between the Parties, or (ii) a dispute 

over the use or dissemination of CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL Information 

subject to the terms of this Stipulated Protective Order. The copy of pleadings and papers 

retained by outside counsel shall be maintained in a file accessible only by outside counsel bound 

by this Stipulated Protective Order. 

17. This Order shall survive the final termination of this litigation with respect to any 

such retained CONFIDENTIAL and HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL Information.
