DURATION

17. Even after final disposition of this Matter, the confidentiality 

obligations imposed by this Protective 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 Matter, with or without prejudice; and (2) final judgment herein 

after the completion and exhaustion of all appeals, rehearings, remands, trials, or 

reviews of this Matter, including the time limits for filing any motions or 

applications for extension of time pursuant to applicable law.

DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL

18. A Producing Party may designate as “Confidential” those materials, 

whether in written, oral, electronic, graphic, audiovisual, or any other form, which 

that Party in good faith believes contain Confidential Information.

19. A Producing Party may designate materials produced or exchanged 

during discovery as “Confidential” by:

(a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic 

documents, but excluding transcripts or other pretrial or trial proceedings), legibly 

marking the legend “Confidential” on each page of such materials. A Party or 

Non-Party who 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 

Protective Order. Then, before producing the specified documents, the Producing 

Party must affix the “Confidential” legend to each page that contains Protected 

Material.

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

proceedings, the Designating Party identifying all protected testimony, within 15 

days of receipt of a transcript of the deposition, hearing, or other proceeding.

(c) for Protected Material not reduced to hard copy, tangible, or physical 

form or that cannot be conveniently designated pursuant to this paragraph, 

informing the Receiving Party of the designation in writing, and/or in the load file 

or other similar database, table, or chart accompanying said production. To the 

extent the Receiving Party subsequently generates any permitted copies of this 

information, whether electronic or hard copy, it shall ensure that all such copies 

are clearly designated with the appropriate confidentiality designations.

(d) for information produced in some form other than documentary and 

for any other tangible items, the Producing Party affixing 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).

20. If a Party wishes to designate information or items produced by other 

Parties or non-parties under this Protective Order, the Party must, within a 

reasonable time of receiving such information or items, notify all other Parties in 

writing of the designation and describe the information or items at issue (e.g., by 

Bates number). All other Parties shall then apply the appropriate legend to the 

information or items.

21. The inadvertent or unintentional disclosure by the Producing Party of 

Confidential Information, regardless of whether the information was so designated 

at the time of disclosure, shall not be deemed a waiver in whole or in part of a 

Designating Party’s claim of confidentiality, either as to the specific information 

disclosed or as to any other information relating thereto on the same or related 

subject matter. Any such inadvertently or unintentionally disclosed Confidential

Information not designated as such shall be so designated by giving written notice 

to all Parties, as soon as reasonably possible after the Producing Party becomes 

aware of the inadvertent or unintentional disclosures. Upon such notice, and receipt 

of substitute copies bearing the appropriate confidentiality legend, the Receiving 

Party shall return said documents and things and not retain copies thereof, and shall 

thereafter treat information contained in said documents and any summaries and 

notes thereof as Confidential Information.

CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS

22. Any 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 of this Matter, 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.

23. 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 the 

written notice describing the basis for the challenge. 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.

24. If the Parties cannot resolve a challenge without court intervention, the 

Challenging Party may submit the matter to the Court by filing a notice of motion 

accompanied by a “Joint Statement re Discovery Disagreement,” as provided in 

Local Rule 251. 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. 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. 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.

ACCESS TO AND USE OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

25. The Receiving Party shall use Confidential Information solely for the 

purposes of prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this Matter. Such 

Confidential Information may be disclosed only to the categories of persons and 

under the conditions described in this Protective Order. When the litigation of this 

Matter has been terminated, a Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of 

paragraph 35 below (FINAL DISPOSITION).

Confidential Information must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party 

at a location and in a secure manner that ensure the access is limited to the persons 

authorized under this Protective Order.

26. 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:

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.

27. Any person making, or causing to be made, copies of any Confidential

each page.

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED 

PRODUCED IN OTHER LITIGATION

28. If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other 

litigation that compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this 

action as “CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must:

(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 Protective Order; and

(c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be 

pursued by the Designating Party whose Confidential Information may be 

affected.

29. If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, 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.

A NON-PARTY’S CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION SOUGHT TO BE 

PRODUCED IN THIS MATTER

30. The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a 

Non-Party, or belonging to a Non-Party and produced by a Party, and designated as 

“Confidential.” Such information is protected by the remedies and relief provided

by this Protective Order. Nothing in these provisions should be construed as 

prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional protections.

31. 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 Producing Party shall:

(a) 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;

(b) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Protective Order in 

this Matter, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably specific 

description of the information requested; and

(c) make the information requested available for inspection by the NonParty.

32. If the Non-Party fails to object or seek a protective order from this 

court preventing production of the information requested within 14 days of 

receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Producing Party may 

produce the Non-Party’s Confidential Information responsive to the discovery 

request. The Producing Party will designate such information as Confidential under 

this Order. If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective order preventing production, 

the Producing 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. 

UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

33. If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has 

disclosed Confidential Information to any person or in any circumstance not 

authorized under this 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 Confidential Information, (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 

attached Exhibit 1.

INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE

PROTECTED MATERIAL

34. 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 Protective 

Order submitted to the court.

FINAL DISPOSITION

35. Within 60 days after the final disposition of this Matter, as defined in 

paragraph 17, each Receiving Party must, at its election, either 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 paragraph 17 (DURATION).

MISCELLANEOUS

36. Nothing in this Protective Order abridges the right of any person to 

seek its modification by the court in the future.

37. 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 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.

38. 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 Confidential Information. All transcripts, 

depositions, exhibits, and other documents and things filed or received with the 

court containing Confidential Information, or any pleading purporting to reproduce 

or paraphrase such information, shall be filed in compliance with Civil Local Rule 

141, in sealed envelopes or other appropriate sealed containers on which shall be
