STIPULATION & PROPOSED PROTECTIVE 

ORDER (NO. CV 15-01101 JLT) 1.

Plaintiff Myrna Arias and Defendant Intermex Wire Transfer, L.L.C., by and through their 

respective counsel, hereby stipulate and agree as follows: 

WHEREAS, the parties to this proceeding anticipate that during the course of the abovecaptioned litigation they will produce or provide documents and information (including electronic 

data) that one or more parties contend contain trade secrets or other sensitive, private, personal, 

confidential, or proprietary information, including, but not limited to: 

(a) Defendant’s business operations, including, but not limited to, information about 

Defendant’s employment policies, practices, programs, methods, and/or procedures; personal 

employee information; financial data; business strategies; pricing, products, clients, and customers;

internal correspondence regarding business operations; and other information and documentation 

that may provide insight into the day-to-day processes and procedures utilized by Defendant; and

(b) Plaintiff’s or third-party private information, including employment, financial, 

personal, payroll, and medical information;

WHEREAS, the parties to this proceeding have a particularized need for a Court Order as 

to each category of information listed above in order to protect Defendant’s confidential and 

proprietary business information and to protect private and confidential information – such as 

medical records, payroll records, employment files, etc. – of Plaintiff and third parties, including 

other Intermex employees;

WHEREAS, the parties to this proceeding also have a particularized need for a Court 

Order relating to other sensitive, private, confidential, and proprietary information because the 

parties expect that some or all of this information may be used in motion practice, including 

dispositive motion practice, and should be sealed prior to filing. A private agreement would not be 

sufficient to ensure that the sensitive, private, confidential, and proprietary information is protected 

from such disclosure; and

WHEREAS, 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 11.3

employee information; financial data; business strategies; pricing, products, clients, and customers;

STIPULATION & PROPOSED PROTECTIVE 

ORDER (NO. CV 15-01101 JLT) 4.

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.

3. 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.

4. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL

4.1 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.

Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. 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.

ORDER (NO. CV 15-01101 JLT) 5.

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

(see, e.g., second paragraph of Section 4.2(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” 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, hearing, or other proceeding, all protected testimony. 

In the alternative, within thirty days after receipt of the transcript the Designating Party shall 

designate by page and line those portions of the testimony that are deemed to actually include 

Protected Material. The reporter shall be duly advised by the Designating Party to promptly 

conform copies in accordance with such designations by attaching a copy of requesting counsel’s 

letter to the transcript and making it an official part thereof. The portions so designated shall 

thereafter be treated as Protected Material as provided in this Order and shall be fully subject to the 

Case 1:15-cv-01101-JLT Document 10 Filed 09/11/15 Page 6 of 14 Case 1:15-cv-01101-JLT Document 11 Filed 09/14/15 Page 6 of 14

relevant provisions of this Order. After the expiration of thirty days, all portions not so designated 

shall be free from the provisions of this Order, unless the parties agree to a longer period of time.

(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).

4.3 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.

5. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS

5.1 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.

5.2 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.

5.3 Judicial Intervention. Unless otherwise provided by an applicable order, if the 

Parties cannot resolve a challenge without court intervention, the Designating Party shall file and 

serve a motion to retain confidentiality under Local Rule 141.1 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 later. 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. 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.

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.

6. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

6.1 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 12 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.

6.2 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;

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

Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation;

(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 and

(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.

7. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN 

OTHER LITIGATION

disclosure of any information or items designated in this action as “CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party 

must:

ORDER (NO. CV 15-01101 JLT) 9.

(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 

Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.

If the Designating Party timely seeks judicial relief, the Party served with the subpoena or

court order shall not produce any information designated in this action as “CONFIDENTIAL” 

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.

8. 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 NonParty in this action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information produced by NonParties 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 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 NonParty;

(c) If the Non-Party fails to object or seek judicial relief from this court within

determination by the court.1 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.

STIPULATION & PROPOSED PROTECTIVE 

ORDER (NO. CV 15-01101 JLT) 11.

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.

11. MISCELLANEOUS

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

seek its modification by the court in the future.

11.2 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. 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.

11.3 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 Rules 140 and 141. Protected Material may only 

be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the specific Protected 

Material at issue. If a Receiving Party's request to file Protected Material under seal pursuant to 

Civil Local Rules 140 and 141 is denied by the court, then the Receiving Party may file the 

information in the public record unless otherwise instructed by the court.

12. FINAL DISPOSITION

Within 60 days after the final disposition of this action, as defined in Section 3, each 

Receiving Party must return all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such material

with written confirmation to the Producing Party. 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. 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,
