STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 1 MASTER FILE NO. 

 2:13-cv-02414-KJM-EFB 

1. PURPOSES AND DEFINITIONS

Jurisdictional disclosure and discovery activity in this action, as directed by the Court’s 

Order dated May 5, 2015, are likely to involve 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 with respect to 

jurisdictional discovery. The parties acknowledge that this Order does not confer blanket 

protections on all disclosures or responses to jurisdictional 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. 

2. DEFINITIONS

2.1 Challenging Party: a Party or Non-Party that challenges the designation of information 

or items under this Order. 

2.2 “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items: information (regardless of how it is 

generated, stored or maintained) or tangible things that qualify for protection under Federal Rule 

of Civil Procedure 26(c). 

2.3 Counsel (without qualifier): Outside Counsel of Record and House Counsel (as well as 

their support staff). 

2.4 Designating Party: a Party or Non-Party that designates information or items that it 

produces in disclosures or in responses to discovery as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” 

2.5 Disclosure or Discovery Material: all items or information, regardless of the medium or 

manner in which it is generated, stored, or maintained (including, among other things, testimony,

transcripts, and tangible things), that are produced or generated in disclosures or responses to 

discovery in this matter. 

2.6 Expert: a person with specialized knowledge or experience in a matter pertinent to the 

litigation who (1) has been retained by a Party or its counsel to serve as an expert witness or as a 

consultant in this action, (2) is not a past or current employee of a Party or of a Party’s competitor, 

and (3) at the time of retention, is not anticipated to become an employee of a Party or of a Party’s 

competitor. 

2.7 “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” Information or Items: 

extremely sensitive “Confidential Information or Items,” disclosure of which to another Party or 

Non-Party would create a substantial risk of serious harm that could not be avoided by less 

restrictive means. 

2.8 House Counsel: attorneys who are employees of a party to this action. House Counsel 

does not include Outside Counsel of Record or any other outside counsel. 

2.9 Non-Party: any natural person, partnership, corporation, association, or other legal 

entity not named as a Party to this action. 

2.10 Outside Counsel of Record: attorneys who are not employees of a party to this action 

but are retained to represent or advise a party to this action and have appeared in this action on 

behalf of that party or are affiliated with a law firm which has appeared on behalf of that party. 

2.11 Party: any party to this action, including all of its officers, directors, employees, 

consultants, retained experts, and Outside Counsel of Record (and their support staffs). 

2.12 Producing Party: a Party or Non-Party that produces Disclosure or Discovery Material 

in this action. 

2.13 Professional Vendors: persons or entities that provide litigation support services (e.g., 

photocopying, videotaping, translating, preparing exhibits or demonstrations, and organizing, 

storing, or retrieving data in any form or medium) and their employees and subcontractors.

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 3 MASTER FILE NO. 

 2:13-cv-02414-KJM-EFB 

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. 

However, the protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order do not cover the following 

information: (a) any information that is in the public domain at the time of disclosure to a 

Receiving Party or becomes part of the public domain after its disclosure to a Receiving Party as a 

result of publication not involving a violation of this Order, including becoming part of the public 

record through trial or otherwise; and (b) any information known to the Receiving Party prior to 

the disclosure or obtained by the Receiving Party after the disclosure from a source who obtained 

the information lawfully and under no obligation of confidentiality to the Designating Party. Any 

use of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by a separate agreement or order. 

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

parties reserve their rights to seek available sanctions for designations that are shown to be clearly 

unjustified or that have been made for an improper purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber or 

retard the case development process or to impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other 

parties).

If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it designated 

for protection do not qualify for protection at all or do not qualify for the level of protection 

initially asserted, that Designating Party must promptly notify all other parties that it is 

withdrawing the mistaken designation. 

5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in this Order (see, 

e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), 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 the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES 

ONLY” to each page that contains protected material. 

A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents or materials available for inspection 

need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated which material 

it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and before the designation, all of the 

material made available for inspection shall be deemed “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – 

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” After the inspecting Party has identified the documents it wants 

copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine which documents, or portions thereof, 

qualify for protection under this Order. Then, before producing the specified documents, the 

Producing Party must affix the appropriate legend (“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” to each page that contains Protected Material.

(b) for testimony given in deposition or in other pretrial or trial proceedings, that the 

Designating Party identify on the record, before the close of the deposition, hearing, or other 

proceeding, all protected testimony and specify the level of protection being asserted. When it is 

impractical to identify separately each portion of testimony that is entitled to protection and it 

appears that substantial portions of the testimony may qualify for protection, the Designating Party 

may invoke on the record (before the deposition, hearing, or other proceeding is concluded) a right 

to have up to 21 days to identify the specific portions of the testimony as to which protection is 

sought and to specify the level of protection being asserted. Only those portions of the testimony 

that are appropriately designated for protection within the 21 days shall be covered by the 

provisions of this Stipulated Protective Order. Alternatively, a Designating Party may specify, at 

the deposition or up to 21 days afterwards if that period is properly invoked, that the entire 

transcript shall be treated as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – 

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” 

Parties shall give the other parties notice if they reasonably expect a deposition, hearing or 

other proceeding to include Protected Material so that the other parties can ensure that only 

authorized individuals who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” 

(Exhibit A) are present at those proceedings. The use of a document as an exhibit at a deposition 

shall not in any way affect its designation as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL 

– ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” 

Transcripts containing Protected Material shall have an obvious legend on the title page 

that the transcript contains Protected Material, and the title page shall be followed by a list of all 

pages (including line numbers as appropriate) that have been designated as Protected Material and 

the level of protection being asserted by the Designating Party. The Designating Party shall inform 

the court reporter of these requirements. Any transcript that is prepared before the expiration of a 

21-day period for designation shall be treated during that period as if it had been designated 

“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” in its entirety unless otherwise 

agreed. After the expiration of that period, the transcript shall be treated only as actually

designated. 

(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 or item is stored the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” or 

“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”. If only a portion or portions of the 

information or item warrant protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall 

identify the protected portion(s) and specify the level of protection being asserted. 

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 Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a designation of 

confidentiality at any time. Unless a prompt challenge to a Designating Party’s confidentiality 

designation is necessary to avoid foreseeable, substantial unfairness, unnecessary economic 

burdens, or a significant disruption or delay of the litigation, a Party does not waive its right to 

challenge a confidentiality designation by electing not to mount a challenge promptly after the 

original designation is disclosed. 

6.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute resolution process by 

providing written notice of each designation it is challenging and describing the basis for each 

challenge. To avoid ambiguity as to whether a challenge has been made, the written notice must 

recite that the challenge to confidentiality is being made in accordance with this specific paragraph 

of the Protective Order. The parties shall attempt to resolve each challenge in good faith and must 

begin the process by conferring directly (in voice to voice dialogue; other forms of communication 

are not sufficient) within 7 days of the date of service of notice. In conferring, the Challenging 

Party must explain the basis for its belief that the confidentiality designation was not proper and

must give the Designating Party an opportunity to review the designated material, to reconsider 

the circumstances, and, if no change in designation is offered, to explain the basis for the chosen 

designation. A Challenging Party may proceed to the next stage of the challenge process only if it 

has engaged in this meet and confer process first or establishes that the Designating Party is 

unwilling to participate in the meet and confer process in a timely manner. 

6.3 Judicial Intervention. If the Parties cannot resolve a challenge without court 

intervention, the Designating Party shall prepare and file a notice of motion and motion pursuant 

to Local Rule 251(a) within 21 days of the initial notice of challenge or within 14 days of the 

parties agreeing that the meet and confer process will not resolve their dispute, whichever is 

earlier. The hearing shall be scheduled for the nearest available date and time, but no earlier than 

twenty-one (21) days from the date of filing and service of the notice of motion and motion. The 

Designating Party shall then prepare and file a joint statement under the procedures of Civil Local 

Rule 251(c). In preparing the joint statement, the Designating Party shall submit to the 

Challenging Party (or any other interested third-party) its position in writing no later than seven 

(7) days prior to the filing of the joint statement. The Challenging Party (or any other interested 

third-party) will then set forth its response in the joint statement and return it to the Designating 

Party no later than three (3) days prior to the filing of the joint statement. Each such joint 

statement must be accompanied by a competent declaration affirming that the Designating Party 

has complied with the meet and confer requirements imposed in the preceding paragraph. Failure 

by the Designating Party to make such a motion within 21 days (or 14 days, if applicable) as 

provided above shall automatically waive the confidentiality designation for each challenged 

designation. In addition, the Challenging Party may file a joint statement under the procedures of 

Civil Local Rule 251 challenging a confidentiality designation at any time if there is good cause 

for doing so, including a challenge to the designation of a deposition transcript or any portions 

thereof. Any motion or joint statement brought pursuant to this provision must be accompanied by 

a competent declaration affirming that the movant has complied with the meet and confer 

requirements imposed by the preceding paragraph.

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

Party. The parties reserve their rights to seek available sanctions for frivolous challenges and 

those made for an improper purpose (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens 

on other parties). Unless the Designating Party has waived the confidentiality designation by 

failing to file a motion to retain confidentiality as described above, all parties shall continue to 

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

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 case only for prosecuting, 

defending, or attempting to settle this litigation. Such Protected Material may be disclosed only to 

the categories of persons and under the conditions described in this Order. When the litigation has 

been terminated, a Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of section 13 below (FINAL 

DISPOSITION). 

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 litigation and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” that is 

attached hereto as Exhibit A; 

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

Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the

Stipulated Protective Order. 

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

person who otherwise possessed or knew the information.

– ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” 

Information or Items to Experts. 

(a) Unless otherwise ordered by the court or agreed to in writing by the Designating Party, 

a Party that seeks to disclose to an Expert (as defined in this Order) any information or item that 

has been designated “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” pursuant to

the Expert and the city and state of his or her primary residence, (3) attaches a copy of the Expert’s 

current resume, (4) identifies the Expert’s current employer(s), (5) identifies each person or entity

offered expert testimony, including through a declaration, report, or testimony at a deposition or 

trial, during the preceding five years.

(c) A Party that receives a timely written objection must meet and confer with the 

Designating Party (through direct voice to voice dialogue) to try to resolve the matter by 

agreement within seven days of the written objection. If no agreement is reached, the Party 

seeking to make the disclosure to the Expert may file a joint statement in accord with the 

procedures as provided in Civil Local Rule 251. Any such motion or statement must describe the 

circumstances with specificity, set forth in detail the reasons why the disclosure to the Expert is 

reasonably necessary, assess the risk of harm that the disclosure would entail, and suggest any 

additional means that could be used to reduce that risk. In addition, any such motion must be 

accompanied by a competent declaration describing the parties’ efforts to resolve the matter by 

agreement (i.e., the extent and the content of the meet and confer discussions) and setting forth the 

reasons advanced by the Designating Party for its refusal to approve the disclosure. 

In any such proceeding, the Party opposing disclosure to the Expert shall bear the burden 

of proving that the risk of harm that the disclosure would entail (under the safeguards proposed) 

outweighs the Receiving Party’s need to disclose the Protected Material to its Designated House 

Counsel or Expert. 

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” or 

“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” 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 

Case 2:13-cv-02414-KJM-DB Document 94 Filed 07/14/15 Page 12 of 20

 2:13-cv-02414-KJM-EFB 

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” 

or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” 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” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ 

EYES ONLY”. 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 NonParty’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 

litigation, 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. 

(c) If the Non-Party fails to object or seek a protective order from this court within 14 days 

of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party may produce the NonCase 2:13-cv-02414-KJM-DB Document 94 Filed 07/14/15 Page 13 of 20

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” that is 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). This 

provision is not intended to modify whatever procedure may be established in an e-discovery order 

that provides for production without prior privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 

502(d) and (e), insofar as the parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure of a 

communication or information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work product protection, 

the parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated protective order submitted to the 

court. 

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. Without written permission from the Designating Party or a 

court order secured after appropriate notice to all interested persons, a Party may not file in the 

public record in this action any 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. 

13. FINAL DISPOSITION

Within 60 days after the final disposition of this action, as defined in paragraph 4, 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 and trial exhibits, expert reports, attorney work product, and 

consultant and expert work product, even if such materials contain Protected Material. Any such 

archival copies that contain or constitute Protected Material remain subject to this Protective Order 

as set forth in Section 4 (DURATION).
