such materials “Confidential.” If any material has multiple pages, this designation 

need only be placed on the first page of such material. Any material designated as 

“Confidential” shall not be disclosed to any person or entity, except to the parties, 

counsel in this Lawsuit, and the Court.

 3. Any material designated as confidential pursuant to paragraph 2 above 

shall be used solely for the purposes of this Lawsuit and for no other purpose.

 4. Prior to disclosure of any Confidential Material, each person to whom 

disclosure is to be made shall execute a written “Confidentiality Agreement” (in a 

form mutually agreeable to the parties) consenting to be bound by the terms of this 

Order. The parties, counsel for the respective parties (including legal assistants and 

other personnel) and the Court are deemed to be bound by this Order and are not 

required to execute a Confidentiality Agreement.

 5. Only counsel of record in this Lawsuit shall be permitted to disseminate 

Confidential Material. Upon dissemination of any Confidential Material, each nondesignating counsel of record in this Lawsuit shall maintain a written record as to: 

(1) the identity of any person given Confidential Material, and (2) the identity of the 

Confidential Material so disseminated (such as by “Bates stamp” number). Such 

record shall be made available to the designating party upon request. 

 6. If additional persons become parties to this Lawsuit, they shall not have 

access to any Confidential Material until they execute and file with the Court their 

written agreement to be bound by the terms of this Order. 

 7. In the event that any question is asked at a deposition that calls for the 

disclosure of Confidential Material, the witness shall answer such question (unless 

otherwise instructed not to do so on grounds of privilege) provided that the only 

persons in attendance at the deposition are persons who are qualified to receive 

such information pursuant this Order. Deposition testimony may be designated 

as confidential following the testimony having been given provided that: (1) such

testimony is identified and designated on the record at the deposition, or (2) nondesignating counsel is notified of the designation in writing within thirty days 

after receipt by the designating party of the respective deposition transcript. 

All deposition transcripts in their entirety shall be treated in the interim as 

“Confidential” pursuant to paragraph 2 above. When Confidential Material is 

incorporated in a deposition transcript, the part designating such information 

confidential shall make arrangements with the court reporter not to disclose any 

information except in accordance with the terms of this Oder. 

 8. If a deponent refuses to execute a Confidentiality Agreement, 

disclosure of Confidential Material during the deposition shall not constitute a 

waiver of confidentiality. Under such circumstances, the witness shall sign the 

original deposition transcript in the presence of the court reporter and no copy of 

the transcript or exhibits shall be given to the deponent. 

 9. With respect to any communications to the Court, including any 

pleadings, motions or other papers, all documents containing Confidential Material 

shall be communicated to the Court in a sealed envelope or other appropriate 

sealed container on which shall be written the caption of this Lawsuit, an indication 

of the nature of the contents of the sealed envelope or container, and the words 

“CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER.” 

All communications shall indicate clearly which portions are designated to be 

“Confidential.”

 10. No items will be filed under seal without a prior application to, and 

order from, the judge presiding over the hearing or trial. Only when the judge 

presiding over the hearing or trial permits filing an item or items under seal may 

confidential material filed with the Court be filed in a sealed envelope or other 

container marked on the outside with the caption of this action and the following 

statement:

"CONFIDENTIAL -- SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER." 

If any person fails to file protected documents or information under seal, any party 

to this lawsuit may request that the Court place the filing under seal. 

 Whenever the Court grants a party permission to file an item under seal, a 

duplicate disclosing all nonconfidential information shall be filed and made part of 

the public record. The item may be redacted to eliminate confidential material from 

the public document. The public document shall be titled to show that it 

corresponds to an item filed under seal, e.g., "Redacted Copy of Sealed Declaration 

of John Smith in Support of Motion for Summary Judgment." The sealed and 

redacted documents shall be filed simultaneously. 

 11. If a non-designating party is subpoenaed or ordered to produce 

Confidential Material by another court or administrative agency, such party shall 

promptly notify the designating party of the pending subpoena or order and shall 

not produce any Confidential Material until the designating party has had reasonable 

time to object or otherwise take appropriate steps to protect such Confidential 

Material. 

 12. If a party believes that any Confidential Material does not contain 

confidential information, it may contest the applicability of this Order to such 

information by notifying the designating party’s counsel in writing and identifying 

the information contested. The parties shall have thirty days after such notice to 

meet and confer and attempt to resolve the issue. If the dispute is not resolved within 

such period, the party seeking the protection shall have thirty days in which to make 

a motion for a protective order with respect to contested information. Information 

that is subject to a dispute as to whether it is properly designated shall be treated 

as designated in accordance with the provisions of this Order until the Court issues 

a ruling.

 13. Inadvertent failure to designate any material “Confidential” or shall 

not constitute a waiver of an otherwise valid claim of confidentiality pursuant to 

this Order, so long as a claim of confidentiality is asserted within fifteen days after 

discovery of the inadvertent failure. At such time, arrangements shall be made by 

the parties to designate the material “Confidential” in accordance with this Order.

 14. This Order shall be without prejudice to the right of any party to oppose 

production of any information or object to its admissibility into evidence. 

 15. When any counsel of record in this Lawsuit or any attorney who has 

executed a Confidentiality Agreement becomes aware of any violation of this Order, 

or of facts constituting good cause to believe that a violation of this Order may have 

occurred, such attorney shall report that there may have been a violation of this 

Order to the Court and all counsel of record.

 16. Within thirty days after the termination of this Lawsuit (whether 

by dismissal or final judgment), all Confidential Material (including all copies) 

shall be returned to counsel for the designating party. In addition, counsel returning 

such material shall execute an affidavit verifying that all Confidential Material 

produced to such counsel and any subsequently made copies are being returned 

in their entirety pursuant to the terms of this order. Such a representation fully 

contemplates that returning counsel has: (1) contacted all persons to whom that 

counsel disseminated Confidential Material, and (2) confirmed that all such material 

has been returned to disseminating counsel. 

 17. After the termination of this Lawsuit, the provisions of this Order shall 

continue to be binding and this Court shall retain jurisdiction over the parties and 

any other person who has access to documents and information produced pursuant 

to this Order for the sole purpose of enforcement of its provisions.
