1. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS

Disclosure and discovery activity in this action are likely to involve production of confidential, 

proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public disclosure and from use 

for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation would be warranted. Accordingly, the parties 

hereby stipulate to and petition to the court to enter the following Stipulated Protective Order. The

parties acknowledge that this Order does not confer blanket protections on all disclosure or responses

to discovery and that the protection it affords extends only to the limited information or items that are 

entitled under the applicable legal principles to treatment as confidential. The parties further 

acknowledge, as set forth in Section 10, below, that this Stipulated Protective Order creates no 

entitlement to file confidential information under seal; Civil Local Rule 79-5 sets for the procedures

that must be followed and reflects the standards that will be applied when a party seeks permission 

from the court to file material under seal. 

2. DEFINITIONS

2.1 Party: any party to this action, including all of its officers, directors, 

employees, consultants, retained experts, and outside counsel (and their support staff). 

2.2 Disclosure or Discovery Material: all items or information, regardless of 

the medium or manner generated, stored, or maintained (including, among other things, testimony, 

transcripts, or tangible things) that are produced or generated in disclosures or responses to discovery 

in this matter. 

2.3 “Confidential” Information or Items: information (regardless of how 

generated, stored or maintained) or tangible things that qualify for protection under standards 

developed under F.R.Civ.P. 26(c). 

2.4 “Highly Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only” Information or Items: 

extremely sensitive “Confidential Information or Items” whose disclosure to any Party or non-party 

would create a substantial risk of serious injury that could not be avoided by less restrictive means.

2.5 Receiving Party: a Party that received Disclosure or Discovery Material 

from a Producing Party. 

2.6 Producing Party: a Party or non-party that produces Disclosure or

items that it produces in disclosures or in responses to discovery as “Confidential” or “Highly 

Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only.”

or as a consultant in this action and who is not a past or a current employee of a Party or of a 

competitor of a Party’s and who, at the time of retention, is not anticipated to become an employee of

a Party or a competitor of a party’s. This definition includes a professional jury or trial consultant 

retained in connection wit this litigation. 

2.13 Professional Vendors: persons or entities that provide litigation support 

services (e.g., photocopying; videotaping; translating; preparing exhibits or demonstrations; 

organizing, storing, retrieving data in any form or medium; etc.) and their employees and

defined above), but also any information copied or extracted therefrom, as well as all copies, excerpts, 

summaries, or compilations thereof, plus testimony, conversations, or presentations by parties or 

counsel to or in court or in other settings that might reveal Protected Materials.

Order shall remain in effect until a Designating Party agrees otherwise in writing or a court order 

otherwise directs. 

5. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL

5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection.

Each party or non-party that designates information or items for protection under this Order must take

care to limit any such designation to specific material that qualifies under the appropriate standards. 

A Designating Party must take care to designate for protection only those parts of material, 

documents, items, or oral or written communications that qualify – so that other portions of the 

material, documents, items, or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept 

unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order. 

Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations 

that are shown to be clearly unjustified, or that have been made of an improper purpose (e.g., to 

unnecessarily encumber or retard the case development process, or to impose unnecessary expenses 

and burdens on other parties), expose the Designating Party to sanctions. 

If it comes to a Party’s or a non-party’s attention that information or times that 

it designated for protection do not qualify for protection at all, or do not qualify for the level of 

protection initially asserted, that Party or non-party must promptly notify all other parties that it is 

withdrawing the mistaken designation. 

5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations: Except as otherwise provided in 

this Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a), below), or as otherwise stipulated or ordered, 

material that qualifies for protection under this Order must be clearly so designated before the material 

is disclosed or produced. 

Designation in conformity with this order requires:

(a) for information in documentary form (apart from transcripts of 

depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that the Producing Party affix the legend 

“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” at the top of 

each page that contains protected material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a page 

qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g.,

by making appropriate markings in the margins) and must specify, for each portion, the level of 

protection being asserted (either “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – 

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”). 

A Party or non-party that makes original documents or materials 

available for inspection need not designate them for protection until after the inspection 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 “HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” 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 Order, then, before producing the specified 

documents, the Producing Party must affix the appropriate legend (“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”) at the top of each page that contains Protected 

Material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing 

Party also must clearly identify the protected portions(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the 

margins) and must specify, for each portion, the level of protection being asserted (either 

“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”). 

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

proceedings, that the Party or non-party offering or sponsoring the testimony identify on the record, 

before the close of the deposition, hearing, or other proceeding, all protected testimony, and further

specify any portions of the testimony that qualify as “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ 

EYES ONLY.” When it is impractical to identify separately each portion of testimony that is entitled 

to protection, and when it appears that substantial portions of the testimony may qualify for 

protection, the Party or non-party that sponsors, offers, or gives the testimony may invoke on the 

record (before the deposition or proceeding is concluded) a right to have up to 20 days to identify the 

specific portions of the testimony as to which protection is sought and to specify the level of 

protection being asserted (“CONFIDENTIAL” or “ HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ 

EYES ONLY”). Only those portions of the testimony that are appropriately designated for protection 

within the 20 days shall be covered by the provisions of this Stipulated Protective Order.

Transcript pages containing Protected Material must be separately 

bound by the court reporter, who must affix to the top of each such page the legend 

“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” as instructed 

by the Party or non-party offering or sponsoring the witness or presenting the testimony. 

(c) for information produced in some form other than documentary, 

and for any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the exterior of 

the container or containers in which the information or time is stored the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” 

or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” If only portions of the information 

or item warrant protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the protected 

portions, specifying whether they qualify as “Confidential,” or as “Highly Confidential – Attorneys’ 

Eyes Only.” 

5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent 

failure to designate qualified information or items as “Confidential” or “Highly Confidential – 

Attorneys’ Eyes Only” does not, standing alone, waive the Designating Party’s right to secure 

protection under this Order for such material. If material is appropriately designated as “Confidential” 

or “Highly Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only” after the material was initially produced, the 

Receiving Party, on timely notification of the designation, must make reasonable efforts to assure that 

the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this Order. 

6. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS

6.1 Timing of Challenges. Unless a prompt Challenge to a Designating 

Party’s confidentiality designation is necessary to avoid foreseeable substantial unfairness, 

unnecessary economic burdens, or a later significant disruption or delay of the litigation, 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. 

6.2 Meet and Confer. A party that elects to initiate a challenge to a 

Designating Party’s confidentiality designation must do so in good faith and must begin the process 

by conferring directly in voice to voice dialogue; other forms of communication are not sufficient) 

with counsel for the Designating Party. 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. 

6.3 Judicial Intervention. A Party that elects to press a challenge to a 

confidentiality designation after considering the justification offered by the Designating Party may file 

and serve a motion under Civil Local Rule 7 (and in compliance with Civil Local Rule 79.5, if 

applicable) that identifies the challenged material and sets forth in detail the basis for the challenge. 

Each such motion must be accompanied by a competent declaration that affirms that the movant has 

complied with the meet and confer requirements imposed in the preceding paragraph and that sets 

forth with specificity the justification for the confidentiality designation that was given by the 

Designating Party in the meet and confer dialogue. 

The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on the 

Designating Party. Until the court rules on the challenge, 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. 

7. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

7.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is 

disclosed or produced by another Party or by a non-party in connection with this case only for 

prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this litigation. Such Protected Material may be 

disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the conditions described in this Order. When the 

litigation has been terminated, a Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of section 11, 

below (FINAL DISPOSITION). 

Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a 

location and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons authorized under this 

Order.

preceding five years, and (6) identifies (by name and number of the case, filing dates and location of

the court) any litigation in connection with which the Expert has provided any professional services 

during the preceding five years. 

(b) A party that makes a request and provides the information 

specified in the preceding paragraph may disclose the subject Protected Material to the identified 

Expert unless, within seven court days of delivering the request, the Party receives a written objection 

from the Designating Party. Any such objection must set forth in detail the grounds on which it is 

base. 

(c) A Party that receives a timely written objection must meet and 

confer with the Designating Party (through direct voice to voice dialogue) to try to resolve the matter 

by agreement. If no agreement is reached, the Party seeking to make the disclosure to the Expert may 

file a motion as provided in Civil Local Rule 7 (and in compliance with Civil Local Rule 79-5, if 

applicable) seeking permission from the court to do so. Any such motion must describe the 

circumstances with specificity, set forth in detail the reasons for which the disclosure to the Expert is 

reasonably necessary, assess the risk of harm that the disclosure would entail and suggest any 

additional means that might be used to reduce the risk. In addition, any such motion must be 

accompanied by a competent declaration in which the movant describes the parties’ efforts to resolve 

the matter by agreement (i.e., the extent and the content of the meet and confer discussions) and sets

forth the reasons advanced by the Designating Party for its refusal to approve the disclosure. 

In any such proceeding the Party opposing disclosure to the Expert shall 

bear the burden of proving that the risk of harm that the disclosure would entail (under the safeguards 

proposed) outweighs the Receiving Party’s need to disclose the Protected Material to its Expert. 

8. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN 

OTHER LITIGATION.

If a Receiving Party is served with a subpoena or an order issued in other litigation that would 

compel disclosure of any information or items designated in this action as “CONFIDENTIAL” or 

“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” the Receiving Party must so notify 

the Designating Party, in writing (by fax, if possible) immediately and in no event more than three

court days after receiving the subpoena or order. Such notification must include a copy of the 

subpoena or court order. 

The Receiving Party also must immediately inform in writing the Party who caused the 

subpoena or order to issue in the other litigation that some or all the material covered by the subpoena 

or order is the subject of this Protective Order. In addition, the Receiving Party must deliver a copy of 

this Stipulated Protective Order promptly to the Party in the other action that caused the subpoena or

order to issue. 

The purpose of imposing these duties is to alert the interested parties to the existence of this 

Protective Order and to afford the Designating Party in this case an opportunity to try to protect its

confidentiality interests in the court from which the subpoena or order issued. The Designating Party

shall bear the burdens and the expenses 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. 

9. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL.

If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed Protected
