STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

In order to protect the confidentiality of confidential information obtained by the parties

in connection with this case, the parties hereby agree as follows: 

1. Any party may designate as "confidential" (by stamping the relevant page

or as otherwise set forth herein) any document which that party considers in good faith to contain

information involving trade secrets, or confidential business or financial information, subject to

protection under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure or California law. Where a document

consists of more than one page, the first page and each page on which confidential information

appears shall be so designated. 

2. Except with the prior written consent of the other parties, or upon prior

order of this Court obtained upon notice to opposing counsel, or in response to valid legal

process such as subpoena, Confidential Information shall not be disclosed to any person other

than:

(a) counsel for the respective parties to this litigation, including in-house counsel

and co-counsel retained for this litigation;

(b) employees of such counsel;

(c) plaintiff, individual defendants, any officer or employee of a party, to the

extent deemed necessary by counsel for the prosecution or defense of this litigation; 

(d) consultants or expert witnesses retained or otherwise utilized for the

prosecution or defense of this litigation;

(e) any authors or recipients of the Confidential Information;

(f) the Court, Court personnel, and court reporters; and

(g) witnesses (other than persons described in paragraph 2(e)).

3. Any person receiving Confidential Information shall not reveal or discuss

such information to or with any person who is not entitled to receive such information, except 

as set forth herein. A witness shall not be allowed to retain copies of any confidential document. 

4. Any document designated as confidential in accordance with Paragraph 1 shall be

used solely for the prosecution or defense of this action and for no other purpose.

5. A party seeking to file a document under seal must seek authorization of

the Court in accordance with Civil Local Rule 79-5. No document shall be filed under seal

except pursuant to a Court order that authorizes the sealing of the particular document or portion

thereof and is narrowly tailored to seal only that material for which good cause to seal has been

 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER (C05-3396 WHA)

established. Only those documents, pages or, if practicable, those portions of documents or

pages, which contain the information requiring confidentiality shall be sealed. 

6. A party may designate as "Confidential" documents produced by a non-party by

providing written notice to all parties of the relevant document numbers or other identification

within thirty (30) days after receiving such documents. Any party may voluntarily disclose to

others without restriction any information designated by that party as confidential, although a

document may lose its confidential status if it is made public. 

7. If a party contends that any material is not entitled to confidential

treatment, such party may at any time give written notice to the party who designated the

material. The party who designated the material shall have twenty (20) days from the receipt of

such written notice to apply to the Court for an order designating the material as confidential. 

The party seeking the order has the burden of establishing the document’s confidentiality. 

8. Notwithstanding any challenge to the designation of material as Confidential

Information, all documents designated confidential shall be treated as such and shall be subject to

the provisions hereof unless and until one of the following occurs: 

(a) the party who claims that the material is Confidential Information withdraws

such designation in writing; or

(b) the party who claims that the material is Confidential Information fails to

apply to the Court for an order designating the material confidential within the time period

specified above after receipt of a written challenge to such designation; or 

(c) the Court rules the material is not Confidential Information.

9. All provisions of this Order restricting the communication or use of Confidential

Information shall continue to be binding after the conclusion of this action, unless otherwise

agreed or ordered.

 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER (C05-3396 WHA)

10. Nothing herein shall be deemed to waive any applicable privilege or work product

protection, or to affect the ability of a party to seek relief for an inadvertent disclosure of material

protected by privilege or work product protection.

11. This Stipulation shall have no application to trial, or the presentation of evidence

at trial in this matter. Should either party deem a protective order necessary at the time of trial,

they may enter into an agreement or move the Court for an appropriate order. 

12. This Stipulation is made without prejudice to the right of any party to seek an

Order from the Court modifying or limiting any designation of information or documents as

confidential, or otherwise modifying this Stipulation and Protective Order in any way with

respect to any specified materials after 48 hours written notice to the opposing party.
