CASE NO. 1:09-CV-00705-AWI-SMS 

STIPULATION OF CONFIDENTIALITY AND 

PROTECTIVE ORDER

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 may be warranted. 

Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the court to enter the following Stipulated 

Protective Order (“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 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 13.3, 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

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.” 

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

composition has not yet been determined by the Court in this Action, but who is a putative 

member of the “Class” as defined in the Parties’ February 10, 2011 Stipulation and Agreement 

Regarding Discovery. 

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. MATERIAL PRESUMED CONFIDENTIAL

 All documents containing the personal information of Sunview employees, 

including, but not limited to, employees’ Social Security Numbers, home addresses, home 

telephone numbers, birth dates, wages, pay roll and tax information, shall be presumed

STIPULATION OF CONFIDENTIALITY AND 

PROTECTIVE ORDER

CONFIDENTIAL and shall be subject to all applicable terms of this protective order, unless the 

parties otherwise stipulate in writing. 

6. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL 

6.1 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 Designating Party must 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. 

Unless otherwise set forth in this Agreement, 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 Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it 

designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must promptly 

notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the mistaken designation. 

6.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in this 

Order (see, e.g., Paragraph 5), 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” to 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). 

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 

“CONFIDENTIAL.” 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 “CONFIDENTIAL” legend to 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). 

(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. 

(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.” 

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). 

6.3 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. 

7. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS

7.1 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. 

7.2 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 14 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. 

7.3 Judicial Intervention. If the Parties cannot resolve a challenge without 

court intervention, the Designating Party shall file and serve a motion to retain confidentiality 

under Civil Local Rule 215 (and in compliance with Civil Local Rule 141, if applicable) 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. Each such motion must be 

accompanied by a competent declaration affirming that the movant has complied with the meet 

and confer requirements imposed in the preceding paragraph. Failure by the Designating Party to 

make such a motion including the required declaration within 21 days (or 14 days, if applicable) 

shall automatically waive the confidentiality designation for each challenged designation. In 

addition, the Challenging Party may file a motion 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 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. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper purpose (e.g., to harass 

or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Challenging Party 

to sanctions. 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. 

8. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

8.1 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. 

8.2 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;

(c) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom 

disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the “Acknowledgment

(f) during their depositions, witnesses in the action to whom disclosure is 

reasonably necessary and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” 

(Exhibit A), unless otherwise agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the court. Pages of 

transcribed deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material must be 

separately bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone except as permitted 

under this 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. 

(h) A Class Member or Putative Class Member, but only to the limited extent

Putative Class Member may view his or her own time-keeping and/or compensation data, but may 

not view any other Class Member’s or Putative Class Member’s and, to the extent the Protected 

Material contains information regarding additional persons, the information regarding the 

additional persons must be redacted before providing the Protected Material to the Class Member 

or Putative Class Member). In the event that the Protected Material consists of information that 

the Class Member or Putative Class Member would not otherwise be legally entitled to view 

pursuant to the California Labor Code and/or the applicable Industrial Welfare Commission 

Wage Order, then prior to receiving the Protected Material, the Class Member or Putative Class

9. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN 

OTHER LITIGATION

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. 

10. A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE PRODUCED

(b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to 

produce a Non-Party’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 Non-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. 

11. 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.

STIPULATION OF CONFIDENTIALITY AND 

PROTECTIVE ORDER

12. 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. 

13. MISCELLANEOUS 

13.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any 

person to seek its modification by the court in the future. 

13.2 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. 

13.3 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. Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 141, a sealing order will issue 

only upon a request establishing that the Protected Material at issue is privileged, protectable as a 

trade secret, or otherwise entitled to protection under the law. If a Receiving Party's request to 

file Protected Material under seal pursuant to Civil Local Rule 141 is denied by the court, then the

STIPULATION OF CONFIDENTIALITY AND 

PROTECTIVE ORDER

Receiving Party may file the information in the public record pursuant to Civil Local Rule 141 

unless otherwise instructed by the court. 

14. 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). 

IT IS SO STIPULATED, THROUGH COUNSEL OF RECORD.
