2. In designating documents or information as “Confidential” a party shall make such 

designation only as to materials which that party in good faith believes contains Confidential 

Information which is not generally known or publicly available, and which has not been revealed to 

third parties other than those subject to a protective order or confidentiality agreement. 

3. Each document, or set of documents, designated as “Confidential” following the 

execution of this agreement must be clearly marked “CONFIDENTIAL—SUBJECT TO 

PROTECTIVE ORDER” or a reasonable facsimile thereof. 

4. Material designated as “CONFIDENTIAL—SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER” 

and produced by the parties during discovery shall be used solely for purposes of the instant action. 

Confidential Information, as well as summaries, excerpts, and compilations of information 

contained in such materials, shall not be disclosed to or made accessible to any person except as 

specifically permitted by this Protective Order. 

5. Access to and/or disclosure of information designated as being Confidential 

Information shall be permitted only to the following persons: 

 a. The parties to this action; 

 b. The officers, directors, or employees of a party or their agents, insurers, 

adjusters or accountants; 

 c. Counsel for the parties, their partners and associates, and staff and supporting 

personnel of such attorneys, such as paralegal assistants, secretarial, stenographic and clerical 

employees and contractors, and copying services, who are working on this action (or any further 

proceedings herein) under the direction of such attorneys and to whom it is necessary that the 

materials be disclosed for purposes of this action. Such employees, assistants, contractors, and 

agents of counsel to whom such access is permitted and/or disclosure is made shall, prior to such 

access or disclosure, be advised of, and become subject to, the provisions of this Protective Order; 

 d. Any non-party whose deposition has been noticed in this action, but only after 

being orally admonished about the confidential nature of documents used or referred to during the 

deposition. The Court reporter will keep any confidential documents physically separated and 

numbered differently from other non-confidential documents used during the taking of depositions;

after having read this Protective Order and having executed the form attached hereto as Exhibit “A”; 

 f. Court reporters in this action (whether at depositions, hearings, or any other 

proceeding); and

6. If a party desires to use Confidential Information for a proceeding before the Court, 

that party is required to lodge the document with the Court and to simultaneously (with the lodging 

of the document), put the affected parties on notice. The burden of establishing that such material is 

entitled to judicial protection pursuant to this Protective Order shall be in accordance with Federal 

law or, as may be appropriate, California law. 

7. If Confidential Information is inadvertently produced without being designated in 

accordance with this Protective Order, the failure to so designate the document or other material

Order, the receiving party responsible for disclosure shall bring all pertinent facts relating to the 

disclosure of such Confidential Information to the immediate attention of the designating party. 

9. This Protective Order shall be without prejudice to the right of the Court, on its own 

motion, to modify this Order or the right of any party (a) to bring before the Court at any time the 

question of whether any particular document or information is confidential or whether its use should 

be restricted, or (b) to present a motion to the Court for a separate Protective Order as to any 

particular document or information, including restrictions differing from those specified herein. 

This Order shall not be deemed to prejudice any party in any way in any future application for 

modification of this Order.

information or document(s) or alteration of any existing obligation of any party or the absence 

thereof. 

12. All obligations and duties arising under this Protective Order and under any 

acknowledgment or agreement pursuant to this Order shall survive the termination of this action.

A party opting to destroy confidential documents or other materials shall give written notice 

to the designating party confirming the destruction of all such materials in that party’s possession. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
