STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 

In order to protect the confidentiality of confidential information obtained by the

parties in connection with this case, the parties hereby agree as follows: 

1. Any party may designate as "confidential" (by stamping the relevant page

or as otherwise set forth herein) any document which that party considers in good faith to contain

information involving trade secrets, or confidential business or financial information, subject to

protection under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure or California law. Where a document

 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER (CO5-2807 JCS)

consists of more than one page, the first page and each page on which confidential information

appears shall be so designated. 

2. Except with the prior written consent of the other parties, or upon prior

order of this Court obtained upon notice to opposing counsel, or in response to valid legal

process such as subpoena, Confidential Information shall not be disclosed to any person other

than:

(a) counsel for the respective parties to this litigation, including in-house

counsel and co-counsel retained for this litigation;

(b) employees of such counsel;

(c) plaintiff, individual defendants, any officer or employee of a party, to

the extent deemed necessary by counsel for the prosecution or defense of this litigation; 

(d) consultants or expert witnesses retained or otherwise utilized for the

prosecution or defense of this litigation;

(e) any authors or recipients of the Confidential Information;

(f) the Court, Court personnel, and court reporters; and

(g) witnesses (other than persons described in paragraph 2(e)).

3. Any person receiving Confidential Information shall not reveal or discuss

such information to or with any person who is not entitled to receive such information, except 

as set forth herein. A witness shall not be allowed to retain copies of any confidential document. 

4. Any document designated as confidential in accordance with Paragraph 1

shall be used solely for the prosecution or defense of this action and for no other purpose.

5. A party seeking to file a document under seal must seek authorization of

the Court in accordance with Civil Local Rule 79-5. No document shall be filed under seal

except pursuant to a Court order that authorizes the sealing of the particular document or portion

 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER (CO5-2807 JCS)

thereof and is narrowly tailored to seal only that material for which good cause to seal has been

established. Only those documents, pages or, if practicable, those portions of documents or

pages, which contain the information requiring confidentiality shall be sealed. 

6. A party may designate as "Confidential" documents produced by a nonparty by providing written notice to all parties of the relevant document numbers or other

identification within thirty (30) days after receiving such documents. Any party may voluntarily

disclose to others without restriction any information designated by that party as confidential,

although a document may lose its confidential status if it is made public. 

7. If a party contends that any material is not entitled to confidential

treatment, such party may at any time give written notice to the party who designated the

material. The party who designated the material shall have twenty (20) days from the receipt of

such written notice to apply to the Court for an order designating the material as confidential. 

The party seeking the order has the burden of establishing the document’s confidentiality. 

8. Notwithstanding any challenge to the designation of material as

Confidential Information, all documents designated confidential shall be treated as such and shall

be subject to the provisions hereof unless and until one of the following occurs: 

(a) the party who claims that the material is Confidential Information

withdraws such designation in writing; or

(b) the party who claims that the material is Confidential Information fails

to apply to the Court for an order designating the material confidential within the time period

specified above after receipt of a written challenge to such designation; or 

(c) the Court rules the material is not Confidential Information.

9. All provisions of this Order restricting the communication or use of

Confidential Information shall continue to be binding after the conclusion of this action, unless

otherwise agreed or ordered. 

10. Nothing herein shall be deemed to waive any applicable privilege or work

product protection, or to affect the ability of a party to seek relief for an inadvertent disclosure of

material protected by privilege or work product protection.

11. This Stipulation shall have no application to trial, or the presentation of

evidence at trial in this matter. Should either party deem a protective order necessary at the time

of trial, they may enter into an agreement or move the Court for an appropriate order. 

12. This Stipulation is made without prejudice to the right of any party to seek

an Order from the Court modifying or limiting any designation of information or documents as

confidential, or otherwise modifying this Stipulation and Protective Order in any way with

respect to any specified materials after 48 hours written notice to the opposing party.
