1. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS

Disclosure and discovery activity in this action 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 would be 

warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the court to enter the 

following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this Order does not confer

blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to discovery and that the protection it affords 

extends only to the limited information or items that are entitled under the applicable legal 

principals to treatment as confidential. The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 

10, below, that this Stipulated Protective Order creates no entitlement to file confidential 

information under seal; Civil Local Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be followed 

and reflects the standards that will be applied when a party seeks permission from the court to 

file material under seal. 

2. DEFINITIONS

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

employees, consultants, retained experts, and outside counsel (and their support staff). 

2.2 Disclosure or Discovery Material: all items or information, regardless of 

the medium or manner generated, stored, or maintained (including, among other things, 

testimony, transcripts, or tangible things) that are produced or generated in disclosures or 

responses to discovery in this matter. 

 2.3 “Confidential” Information or Items: information (regardless or how 

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

developed under F.R.Civ.P.26(c). 

 2.4 “Highly Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only” Information or Items: 

extremely sensitive “Confidential Information or Items” whose disclosure to another Party or 

non-party would create a substantial risk of serious injury that could not be avoided by less 

restrictive means. 

 2.5 Receiving Party: a Party that receives Disclosure or Discovery Material 

from a Producing Party. 

 2.6 Producing Party: a Party or non-party that produces Disclosure or 

Discovery Material in this action.

 4. DURATION

 Even after the termination 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Court’s jurisdiction to enforce the 

terms of the Order Regarding Stipulated Protective Order shall extend for a period no later than: 

 (a) six (6) months after expiration of the time for filing a notice of 

appeal, if no notice of appeal is filed in the proceeding by any party; or 

 (b) six (6) months after a mandate issues from the Court of Appeals, if 

an appeal was taken by any party to the proceeding. 

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. A Designating Party must take care to designate for protection only those parts of 

material, documents, items, or oral or written communications that qualify – so that other 

portions of the material, documents, items, or communications for which protection is not 

warranted are not swept unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order. 

 Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. 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), expose the Designating Party to sanctions. 

 If it comes to a Party’s or a non-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 Party or non-party must promptly notify all other parties that it 

is withdrawing the mistaken designation. 

 5.2 Manner and Timing of Designation. Except as otherwise provided in this 

Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a), below), or as otherwise stipulated or

ordered, 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 (apart from transcripts of 

depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that the Producing Party affix the legend 

“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” at the top 

of each page that contains protected material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a 

page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected 

portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins) and must specify, for each 

portions, the level of protection being asserted (either “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”). 

 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 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 also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) 

(e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins) and must specify, for each portion, the 

level of protection being asserted (either “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – 

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”). 

 (b) for testimony given in deposition or in other pretrial or trial 

proceedings, that the Party or non-party offering or sponsoring the testimony identify on the 

record, before the close of the deposition, hearing, or other proceeding, all protected testimony, 

and further specify any portions of the testimony that qualify as “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – 

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” When it is impractical to identify separately each portion of 

testimony that is entitled to protection, and when it appears that substantial portions of the

testimony may qualify for protection, the Party or non-party that sponsors, offers, or gives the 

testimony may invoke on the record (before the deposition or proceeding is concluded) a right to 

have up to 20 days to identify the specific portions of the testimony as to which protection is 

sought and to specify the level of protection being asserted (“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”). Only those portions of the testimony that 

are appropriately designated for protection within the 20 days shall be covered by the provisions 

of this Stipulated Protective Order. 

 Transcript pages containing Protected Material must be separately bound 

by the court reporter, who must affix to the top of each such page the legend 

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

instructed by the Party or non-party offering or sponsoring the witness or presenting the 

testimony. 

 (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 

portions of the information or item warrant protection, the Producing Party, to the extent 

practicable, shall identify the protected portions, specifying whether they qualify as 

“Confidential” or as “Highly Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only.” 

 5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent failure 

to designate qualified information or items as “Confidential” or “Highly Confidential – 

Attorneys’ Eyes Only” does not, standing alone, waive the Designating Party’s right to secure 

protection under this Order for such material. If material is appropriately designated as 

“Confidential” or “Highly Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only” after the material was initially 

produced, the Receiving Party, on timely notification of the designation, 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. Unless a prompt challenge to a Designating Party’s 

confidentiality designation is necessary to avoid foreseeable substantial unfairness, unnecessary 

economic burdens, or a later 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. A Party that elects to initiate a challenge to a Designating 

Party’s confidentiality designation must do so in good faith and must being the process by 

conferring directly (in voice dialogue; other forms of communication are no sufficient) with 

counsel for the Designating Party. 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. 

 6.3 Judicial Intervention. A Party that elects to press a challenge to a 

confidentiality designation after considering the justification offered by the Designating Party 

may file and serve a motion under Civil Local Rule 7 (and in compliance with Civil Local Rule 

79-5, if applicable) that identifies the challenged material and sets forth in detail the basis for the 

challenge. Each such motion must be accompanied by a competent declaration that affirms that 

the movant has complied with the meet and confer requirements imposed in the preceding 

paragraph and that sets forth with specificity the justification for the confidentiality designation 

that was given by the Designating Party in the meet and confer dialogue. 

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

Designating Party. Until the court rules on the challenge, 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.

 (a) Unless otherwise ordered by the court of agreed 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” first must make a written request to the Designating Party that (1) identifies the 

specific HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL information that the Receiving Party seeks permission to 

disclose to the Expert, (2) sets forth the full name of 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 from whom the Expert has 

received compensation for work in his or her areas of expertise or to whom the expert has 

provided professional services at any time during the preceding five years, and (6) identifies (by 

name and number of the case, filing date, and location of the court) any litigation in connection 

with which the Expert has provided any professional services during the preceding five years. 

 (b) A Party that makes a request and provides the information specified in 

the preceding paragraph may disclose the subject Protected Material to the identified Expert 

unless, within seven court days of delivering the request, the Party receives a written objection 

from the Designating Party. Any such objection must set forth in detail the grounds on which it 

is based. 

 (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. If no agreement is reached, the Party seeking to make the disclosure to the Expert 

may file a motion as provided in Civil Local Rule 7 (and in compliance with Civil Local Rule 

79-5, if applicable) seeking permission from the court to do so. Any such motion must describe 

the circumstances with specificity, set forth in detail the reasons for which the disclosure to the 

Expert is reasonably necessary, assess the risk of harm that the disclosure would entail and 

suggest any additional means that might be used to reduce that risk. In addition, any such 

motion must be accompanied by a competent declaration in which the movant describes the 

parties’ efforts to resolve the matter by agreement (i.e., the extent and the content of the meet

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 Expert. 

 8. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN 

OTHER LITIGATION. 

 If a Receiving Party is served with a subpoena or an order issued in other 

litigation that would compel disclosure of any information or items designated in this action as 

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

Receiving Party must so notify the Designating Party, in writing (by fax, if possible) 

immediately and in no event more than three court days after receiving the subpoena or order. 

Such notification must include a copy of the subpoena or court order. 

 The Receiving Party also must immediately inform in writing the Party who 

cause the subpoena or order to issue in the other litigation that some or all the material covered 

by the subpoena or order is the subject of this Protective Order. In addition, the Receiving Party 

must deliver a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order promptly to the Party in the other action 

that caused the subpoena or order to issue. 

 The purpose of imposing these duties is to alert the interested parties to the 

existence of this Protective Order and to afford the Designating Party in this case an opportunity 

to try to protect its confidentiality interests in the court from which the subpoena or order issued. 

The Designating Party shall bear the burdens and the expenses 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. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

 If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed Protected

Rule 79-4(a) must be removed by the party which submitted it into evidence. Unless otherwise 

permitted by the Court, no exhibit may be removed earlier than: 

 (i) 10 days after expiration of the time for filing a notice of appeal, if

 11. FINAL DISPOSITION. Unless otherwise ordered or agreed in writing by the 

Producing Party, within sixty days after the final termination of this action, each Receiving Party 

must return all Protected Material to the Producing Party. As used in this subdivision, “all 

Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other form of 

reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material. With permission in writing from the 

Designating Party, the Receiving Party may destroy some or all of the Protected Material instead 

of returning it. 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 sixty day deadline that identifies (by category, where 

appropriate) all the Protected Material that was returned or destroyed and that affirms that the 

Receiving Party has not retained any copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or other forms 

of reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, 

Counsel are entitled to retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, transcripts, legal 

memorandum, correspondence or attorney work product, even if such materials contain 

Protected Material. Any such archival copies that contain or constitute a Protected Material 

remain subject to this Protective Order as set forth in Section 4 (DURATION), above. 

 

 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 Binding Contract. All confidentiality provisions set forth in this Stipulated 

Protective Order shall be binding upon the Parties, even if the Court does not enter this Order.
