Defendant. /

No. C05-03720 MJJ

ORDER re STIPULATED PROTECTIVE

ORDER

On November 30, 2005, the parties filed a Stipulated Protective Order. (Doc. #10.) The

Court orders the parties to submit a revised Stipulated Protective Order complying with following

requirements:

1) When defining what constitutes “Confidential Information,” add a provision which

provides that the information sought to be protected is properly subject to protection

under FRCP Rule 26(c) and that counsel shall not designate any discovery material

“CONFIDENTIAL” without first making a good faith determination that protection is

warranted;

2) Provide detailed instructions for filing confidential materials under seal. In addition

to placing documents in a sealed envelope with instructions that the document is filed

pursuant to the Stipulated Protective Order and that the envelope is not to be opened

absent further order of the court, the envelope should be labeled to identify the title of

the case, the case number, and the title of the document;

designation;

4) Add a provision placing the burden of proof on the party seeking protection to show

that such protection is warranted;

5) The Agreement to Abide by Stipulated Protective Order (Attachment A) should

include an acknowledgment that the party agrees to submit to the jurisdiction of this

Court if any dispute arises over their use of the information; and

6) Designate a time limit on the Court’s jurisdiction to enforce the terms of the Order

(e.g. six months after final termination of the action).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
