STIPULATION AND ORDER TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

2. Confidential documents shall be so designated by stamping copies of the document

produced to a party with the legend “CONFIDENTIAL.” Stamping the legend “CONFIDENTIAL”

on the cover of any multi-page document shall designate all pages of the document as confidential,

unless otherwise indicated by the producing party.

3. Material designated as confidential under this Order, the information contained

therein, and any summaries, copies, abstracts, or documents derived in whole or in part from material

designated as confidential (“confidential material”) shall be used only for the purpose of the

prosecution, defense, or settlement of this action and for no other purpose.

4. Confidential material produced pursuant to this Order may be disclosed or made

available only to the court, to counsel for a party (including the paralegal, clerical, and secretarial

staff employed by such counsel) and to the “qualified persons” designated below:

a. Experts or consultants (together with their clerical staff) retained by such

counsel to assist in the prosecution, defense or settlement of this action;

b. Court reporters employed in this action; and

c. A witness at any deposition or proceedings in this action.

d. Any other person as to whom the parties in writing agree.

Prior to receiving any confidential material, each “qualified person” shall be provided

with a copy of this Order and shall executed a non-disclosure agreement in the form of Attachment

A, a copy of which shall be maintained by the counsel who is providing the materials.

5. The portion of any deposition in which confidential materials are discussed shall be

taken only in the presence of qualified persons, as defined above.

6. Nothing herein shall impose any restrictions on the use or disclosure by a party of

material obtained by such party independent of discovery in this action, whether or not such material

is also obtained through discovery in this action, or from disclosing its own confidential material as

it deems appropriate. 

7. Receipt by any party of any confidential information does not constitute, nor is it to be

construed to be, a waiver of any privilege or evidentiary objection, State or Federal.

confidential material shall be endorsed with the title and case number of this action, and indication of

the nature of said sealed envelope, a legend “confidential-designated by counsel,” and a statement

substantially in the following form: “This envelope containing documents which are filed in this case

is not to be opened, nor the contents thereof to be displayed or revealed except by order of the court.” 

Except, however, that any papers served on counsel for the parties need not include separate sealed

envelopes for confidential materials.

9. This Order shall be without prejudice to the right of the parties 1) to bring before the

court at any time the question of whether any particular document or information is confidential or

whether its use shall be restricted; or 2) to present a motion to the court under Federal Rule of Civil

Procedure 26(c) for a separate protective order as to any particular document or information,

including restrictions different from those as specified herein. This Order shall not be deemed to

prejudice the parties in any way in any future application for modification of this Order.

10. Nothing in this Order nor the production of any information or document under the

terms of this Order nor any proceedings pursuant to this Order, shall be deemed to have the affect of

an admission or waiver of objections or privileges by either party or of altering the confidentiality or

non-confidentiality of any such document or information or altering any existing right or obligation

of any party or the absence thereof.

11. This Order shall survive the final termination of this action, to the extent that the

information contained in confidential material is not or does not become known to the public and the

court shall retain jurisdiction to resolve any dispute concerning the use of information disclosed

hereunder. Within ninety (90) days of the dismissal or entry of final judgment in this action,

whichever occurs first, each party shall return to the producing party all confidential materials and

any and all copies thereof.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
