Case No. 07 CV 0660 BTM (RBB)

WHEREAS, a protective order is warranted and required to prevent and/or limit 

disclosure of confidential and/or proprietary information and/or documents that may be 

exchanged and/or produced in this case, 

DEFINITIONS

As used herein, the following terms shall have the meaning and significance set forth: 

1. “ACTION” shall mean and refer to the above-captioned lawsuit. 

2. “CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL” shall mean all DOCUMENT(S) containing 

information considered reasonably and in good faith by the disclosing PARTY or other 

disclosing PERSON (in the case of a production of CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL by a nonPARTY) to contain confidential, proprietary and/or trade secret information. All such material 

shall be treated as confidential pursuant to the terms of this PROTECTIVE ORDER by stamping 

or affixing thereon the word “CONFIDENTIAL.” Stamping the word “CONFIDENTIAL” on 

the cover of any multi-page document shall designate all pages of the document, and any

Testimony taken at a deposition, conference or hearing may be designated as 

“CONFIDENTIAL” by making a statement to that effect on the record at the deposition or other 

proceeding and in that event arrangements shall be made with the court reporter or other 

appropriate PERSON taking and transcribing such proceeding to separately bind such portions of 

the transcript containing information designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” and to label such 

portions immediately. DOCUMENT(S) and/or information obtained, gleaned or otherwise 

derived from CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL shall be treated as “CONFIDENTIAL” depending 

on the designation of the original CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL, by any and all PARTIES and 

PERSONS obtaining such DOCUMENT(S) and/or information in accordance with the terms of 

this PROTECTIVE ORDER. 

3. “DOCUMENT(S)” include, but is/are not limited to, a handwriting, typewriting, 

printing, photostating, photographing, photocopying, transmission by electronic mail or

for preparing transcripts of depositions. 

(v) The Court and Court personnel. 

(vi) Any other PERSON ordered by the Court, or upon stipulation of the

TERMS OF THE PROTECTIVE ORDER

7. This PROTECTIVE ORDER shall govern all CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL 

voluntarily produced by any PARTY or PERSON (in the case of a production of 

CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL by a non-PARTY) or pursuant to order of the Court. A PARTY 

may not designate information or DOCUMENT(S) as CONFIDENTIAL which, regardless of the 

location of such information or DOCUMENT(S) (e.g., on a computer), all PARTIES agree 

belongs exclusively to another PARTY which is not seeking to designate such information or 

DOCUMENT(S) as CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL. In the event of a dispute as to whom 

information or DOCUMENT(S) exclusively belong, a PARTY may designate such information 

or DOCUMENT(S) as CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL pursuant to the terms of this 

PROTECTIVE ORDER, and thereafter any PARTY may challenge such designation as provided 

for herein. 

8. DOCUMENT(S) or information marked as “CONFIDENTIAL” may be used in 

accordance with this PROTECTIVE ORDER only by a QUALIFIED PERSON for the purposes 

of the ACTION between or among the PARTIES and for no other purpose, and shall not be used 

by such QUALIFIED PERSON in any business affairs of such QUALIFIED PERSON’s 

employer or in such QUALIFIED PERSON’s own affairs or be imparted by such QUALIFIED 

PERSON to any other PERSON. Before such disclosure is made, each QUALIFIED PERSON 

to whom disclosure is to be made (with the exception of the Court and its personnel) shall sign 

and deliver to counsel for the designating PARTY, pursuant to Paragraph 13, below, a NonDisclosure Agreement in the form of Attachment “A” hereto.

Case No. 07 CV 0660 BTM (RBB)

9. DOCUMENT(S) or information marked as “CONFIDENTIAL” shall be used 

solely in connection with the preparation or defense of the ACTION between or among the 

PARTIES only (including court hearings, trials, appeals and retrials), and shall not be used for 

any other purpose, including business, governmental, commercial, administrative or judicial 

proceedings, and shall not be made available, without a Court order or service of a lawfully 

issued subpoena or other valid process, to any PERSON making a request for such 

“CONFIDENTIAL” DOCUMENTS(S) or information. In the event that any PARTY or 

PERSON subject to the terms of this PROTECTIVE ORDER is served with a lawfully issued 

subpoena or other valid process calling for the production of “CONFIDENTIAL” or information 

produced by another PARTY or PERSON, then the PARTY or PERSON served with the 

lawfully issued subpoena or other valid process shall, within three (3) calendar days of such 

service upon them, notify via e-mail and facsimile the PARTY (through counsel) or PERSON 

who produced such “CONFIDENTIAL” DOCUMENTS(S) or information in order to enable the 

producing PARTY or PERSON to seek all appropriate relief to prevent the production of 

DOCUMENTS(S) or information pursuant to the lawfully issued subpoena or other valid 

process.

10. If a PARTY inadvertently produces or provides CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL 

without designating it “CONFIDENTIAL” as provided for in this PROTECTIVE ORDER, the 

producing PARTY shall promptly give written notice via e-mail and facsimile to the receiving 

PARTY that the CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL is so designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” must 

be treated as such in accordance with the terms of this PROTECTIVE ORDER. The receiving 

PARTY shall treat such material as “CONFIDENTIAL” from the date that such written notice is 

provided. Prior to receipt of such written notice, disclosure of such CONFIDENTIAL 

MATERIAL to PERSONS not authorized to receive such CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL 

pursuant to the terms of this PROTECTIVE ORDER shall not be deemed a violation of this 

PROTECTIVE ORDER; however, those PERSONS to whom disclosure of such 

CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL was made are to be advised immediately that the 

CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL disclosed to them is confidential and originals and copies thereof

must be treated in accordance with the terms of this PROTECTIVE ORDER including, if 

necessary, the return of all originals and copies of such CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL to 

counsel from whom it was obtained. 

11. Counsel for any PARTY may, at any time, serve (via e-mail and facsimile to 

counsel for all PARTIES) a written objection to the designation of any material as 

“CONFIDENTIAL.” The objection submitted shall set forth completely the basis for 

challenging the CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL designation. Within 3 calendar days of service 

via e-mail and facsimile of such an objection,1

 the PARTIES shall meet and confer in an attempt 

to resolve the dispute arising from the objection. If after such meeting the dispute remains 

unresolved, any PARTY may file a noticed motion with the Court for an order that the 

DOCUMENT(S) or information designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” should not be treated as 

CONFIDENTIAL. Any CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL identified in any such noticed motion 

shall be lodged with the Court under seal so as to ensure that such CONFIDENTIAL 

MATERIAL is not made public or otherwise made publicly available as a result of its filing with 

the Court or at any time. The PARTY asserting that the DOCUMENT(S) or other information is 

CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL shall have the right to oppose such a motion, and shall have the 

burden of proof. The Court will then decide the issue. Pending a final resolution of any 

objection or Court action respecting the designation of any DOCUMENT(S) or other information 

as “CONFIDENTIAL”, the DOCUMENT(S) and/or information in question and/or the subject 

of such motion shall be treated as CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL in accordance with its original 

designation made by the disclosing PARTY or PERSON. 

12. Prior to receiving any CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL, any PARTY or PERSON 

entitled under this PROTECTIVE ORDER to receive such information shall be provided by the 

PARTY sponsoring disclosure to such PERSON with a copy of this PROTECTIVE ORDER and 

shall require that the PERSON execute a Non-Disclosure Agreement in the form of Attachment 

1

 If such written objection is served via e-mail and facsimile after 5:00 p.m. on a 

week-day (i.e., facsimile transmission is completed after 5:00 p.m.), or if such written objection 

is served via e-mail and facsimile on a Saturday, Sunday, officially recognized Federal or 

California court holiday, then the written objection will be deemed to have been actually served 

as of the next court day after its service.

Case No. 07 CV 0660 BTM (RBB)

“A” hereto. Counsel for the PARTY sponsoring disclosure to such PERSON shall retain the 

original of such executed Non-Disclosure Agreement and subsequently provide a true and 

correct copy of it to counsel of record for all other PARTIES at such time as that PERSON is 

noticed or subpoenaed for deposition or identified as a witness, for trial or otherwise, in 

connection with the ACTION. An e-mail or facsimile signature may be used on any executed 

Non-Disclosure Agreement and shall be considered an original signature. The original of each 

executed Non-Disclosure Agreement shall be retained by counsel who has made a disclosure of 

“CONFIDENTIAL” information pursuant to this PROTECTIVE ORDER and, if not produced 

earlier in accord with the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph, a true and correct copy of such 

original shall be produced to counsel for all PARTIES within two (2) calendar days of written 

demand by counsel for any PARTY, specifically identifying by name the PERSON whose NonDisclosure Agreement is sought. 

13. Any PARTY may, on the record at a deposition or by written notice to counsel for 

all PARTIES no later than ten (10) calendar days after the deposition transcript is received by the 

designating PARTY, designate any portion of the deposition testimony or any DOCUMENT(S) 

or information used, referenced or marked as an exhibit during the deposition as 

“CONFIDENTIAL” under the terms of this PROTECTIVE ORDER. Until the end of such ten 

(10) calendar day period, the deposition transcript, the DOCUMENT(S) and information 

contained therein, and deposition exhibits will be deemed for all purposes to be 

“CONFIDENTIAL” in their entirety under the terms of this Protective Order. Thereafter, only 

those portions of the deposition testimony or any DOCUMENT(S) or information used, 

referenced or marked as an exhibit actually designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” shall be so 

treated, except that all copies of deposition transcripts that contain CONFIDENTIAL 

MATERIAL shall be prominently marked “CONFIDENTIAL” on the cover thereof. 

14. Counsel for a PARTY may show “CONFIDENTIAL” DOCUMENTS(S) or 

information to a witness at a deposition and examine that witness concerning the same. 

However, at any time during such examination (including, but not limited to the commencement 

of such examination), counsel for any PARTY may inquire as to whether the witness and his/her

counsel, if any, agree to be bound by the terms of this PROTECTIVE ORDER and whether the 

witness and his/her counsel, if any, will sign the Non-Disclosure Agreement in the form of 

Attachment “A” hereto. If either the witness or his/her counsel refuse either to be bound by the 

terms of this PROTECTIVE ORDER or to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement in the form of 

Attachment “A” hereto, then neither the witness nor his counsel, if any, may be given any copy 

of the “CONFIDENTIAL” DOCUMENTS(S) or information, including, but not limited to, a 

copy of any pages of the transcript of the deposition that are designated “CONFIDENTIAL.” In 

the event of such refusal by the witness or his/her counsel, and election in spite of such refusal 

by counsel conducting any examination of such witness to introduce “CONFIDENTIAL” 

DOCUMENT(S) or information in such examination, the court reporter shall be instructed to 

give the witness written notice when the transcript has been prepared and is ready for review, 

stating that the witness may inspect the transcript and its exhibits only in the reporter’s office, 

and that if the original deposition transcript is not signed within thirty (30) days after the date of 

such notice (or such other period of time agreed upon by counsel for all PARTIES attending the 

deposition) the transcript will be deemed signed by the witness and it may be used at any time 

and for any purpose in the ACTION consistent with the terms of this PROTECTIVE ORDER. 

The witness or other PERSON who refuses to execute a Non-Disclosure Agreement as provided 

herein shall not be allowed to copy or obtain from the court reporter, any PARTY or other 

PERSON a copy of such portions of the deposition transcript or exhibits that have been 

designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” 

15. When “CONFIDENTIAL” DOCUMENT(S) and/or information is presented, 

quoted, referenced or otherwise used in any deposition, hearing or other proceeding, counsel for 

the PARTY who wishes to present, quote, reference or otherwise use such CONFIDENTIAL 

MATERIAL shall make arrangements or, when appropriate, request the Court to make 

arrangements, to ensure that only the QUALIFIED PERSONS pursuant to this PROTECTIVE 

ORDER are present during such presentation, quotation, reference or use and the record of any 

such hearing or proceeding shall be maintained in accordance with the terms of this 

PROTECTIVE ORDER. The application of this Paragraph is limited to pretrial proceedings. At

or before trial, the PARTIES will discuss with the Court what procedures shall be used at the 

trial of the ACTION to protect the confidentiality of any CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL sought 

to be admitted into evidence that has been determined by the Court or agreed upon by the 

PARTIES to be CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL. 

16. Notwithstanding any other provision in this protective order, no items will be 

filed under seal without a prior application to, and order from, the judge presiding over the 

hearing or trial. Only when the judge presiding over the hearing or trial permits filing an item or 

items under seal may confidential material filed with the Court be filed in a sealed envelope or 

other container marked on the outside with the caption of this action and the following statement: 

“CONFIDENTIAL – SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER.” 

If any person fails to file protected documents or information under seal, any party to this lawsuit 

may request that the Court place the filing under seal. 

 Whenever the Court grants a party permission to file an item under seal, a duplicate 

disclosing all nonconfidential information shall be filed and made part of the public record. The 

item may be redacted to eliminate confidential material from the public document. The public 

document shall be titled to show that it corresponds to an item filed under seal, e.g., “Redacted 

Copy of Sealed Declaration of John Smith in Support of Motion for Summary Judgment.” The 

sealed and redacted documents shall be filed simultaneously. 

17. Nothing in the PROTECTIVE ORDER shall be construed as requiring disclosure 

of DOCUMENT(S), information or any other materials that are privileged in nature, or subject to 

the attorney-client privilege or the attorney work-product doctrine, and/or DOCUMENT(S), 

information or other materials that are, or may be claimed to be, otherwise beyond the scope of 

permissible discovery. 

18. The production of DOCUMENT(S) or information by any PARTY or PERSON 

pursuant to this PROTECTIVE ORDER shall in no way constitute a waiver of any objection to 

the relevance, authenticity, admissibility or use of said DOCUMENT(S) or information in any 

proceedings in the ACTION.

19. This PROTECTIVE ORDER shall have no effect upon, and its scope shall not 

extend to, any PARTY’s use of its own CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL. 

20. In the event additional PERSONS become PARTIES to this litigation, they shall 

not have access to CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL produced by or obtained from any other 

PARTY or PERSON (in the case of a production of CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL by a nonPARTY) until the newly joined PARTY agrees in writing to be bound as a PARTY to the terms 

of this PROTECTIVE ORDER. 

21. In the event any PARTY or PERSON violates or threatens to violate any term of 

this PROTECTIVE ORDER, any PARTY may seek immediate injunctive relief against any such 

PARTY or PERSON violating or threatening to violate any term of this PROTECTIVE ORDER. 

22. Within thirty (30) calendar days following the final termination of litigation,
