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 the Court to enter the following Stipulated Protective 

Order. The parties acknowledge that this Order does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures

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

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

acknowledge, as set forth in Section 11, below, that this Stipulated Protective Order creates no 

entitlement to file confidential information under seal; Civil Local Rule 79-5 sets forth 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 another Party or nonparty would 

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

2.5. Receiving Party: a Party that receives Disclosure or Discovery Material from a 

Producing Party. 

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

Material in this action. 

2.7. Designating Party: a Party or non-party that designates information or items 

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

Confidential — Attorneys’ Eyes Only.” 

2.8. Protected Material: any Disclosure or Discovery Material that is designated as 

“Confidential” or as “Highly Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only.”

2.9. Outside Counsel: attorneys who are not employees of a Party but who are 

retained to represent or advise a Party in this action. 

2.10. House Counsel: attorneys who are employees of a Party. 

2.11. Counsel (without qualifier): Outside Counsel and House Counsel (as well as 

their support staffs). 

2.12. Expert: a person with specialized knowledge or experience in a matter 

pertinent to the litigation who has been retained by a Party or its counsel to serve as an expert 

witness or as a consultant in this action. This definition includes a professional jury or trial 

consultant retained in connection with 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 

subcontractors. 

3. SCOPE

The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only Protected Material (as 

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 Material. 

4. DURATION

Even after the termination of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations imposed by this 

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 for 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 items 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 or 

bottom 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 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 “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 or bottom 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”). 

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

proceedings, that the Party or non-party offering or sponsoring the testimony (or other Party or nonparty that has a good-faith basis to designate the testimony for protection) 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 “CONFIDENTIAL” or “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 (or any other Party or non-party that has a good-faith basis to designate the testimony for 

protection) may invoke on the record (before the deposition or proceeding is concluded) a right to 

have up to 30 days from receipt of the official court reporter’s transcript 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”). 

When such a right is invoked, and absent an agreement among the Parties (and, if applicable, nonparty) or a court order to the contrary, the entire transcript shall be treated as “HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” until the 30-day period has expired. Following 

the 30-day period, only those portions of the testimony that are appropriately designated for 

protection 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 nonparty 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 item 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 Designating 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 12, 

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. 

7.2. Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. 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:

however, that a person who previously received or was shown the information, but who is not the

7.3. Disclosure of “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” 

Information or Items. Unless otherwise ordered by the Court or permitted in writing by the

information or item that has been designated “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – 

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” first must make a written request to the Designating Party that (1) sets 

forth the full name of the Expert and the city and state of his or her primary residence, (2) attaches a 

copy of the Expert’s current resume, and (3) includes a copy of the “Acknowledgment and 

Agreement to Be Bound by Protective Order” (Exhibit A) signed by the Expert. 

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

specified in the preceding paragraph may disclose 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 based. 

 (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 that 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. 

(d) Even though professional jury and trial consultants retained in 

connection with this litigation are considered “Experts” for purposes of this Order, the provisions of 

this paragraph 7.4 shall not apply to such persons. Such persons may review “CONFIDENTIAL”

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 and e-mail, if possible) immediately and in no event more 

than five 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 of 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 

Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this Stipulated 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 copies of the Protected Material, (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 execute the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” that 

is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

Nothing in this Stipulated Protective Order shall require production of information that is 

protected from disclosure by the attorney-client privilege or attorney work product doctrine. If 

information subject to a claim of attorney-client privilege or work product immunity is nonetheless 

inadvertently produced by a Party or non-party, such production shall in no way prejudice or 

otherwise constitute a waiver of, or estoppel as to, any claim of privilege or work product immunity 

for such information. If a Producing Party has inadvertently produced information subject to a claim 

of privilege or immunity, the Receiving Party shall promptly return the information for which a claim 

of inadvertent production is made. The Receiving Party may then move the Court for an Order 

compelling production of such information, but the motion shall not assert as a ground for production 

the fact or circumstances of the inadvertent production. 

11. FILING PROTECTED MATERIAL

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 

Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any Protected Material must comply with 

Civil Local Rule 79-5. 

12. FINAL DISPOSITION

Unless otherwise ordered or agreed in writing by the Producing Party, within sixty days after 

the final termination of this action, each Receiving Party must return all Protected Material to the 

Producing Party. As used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts, 

compilations, summaries or any other form of reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material. 

With permission in writing from the Designating Party, the Receiving Party may destroy some or all 

of the Protected Material instead of returning it. 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 sixty day deadline that identifies (by 

PVT See Hartford Fire Ins. Co. v. Garvey, 109 F.R.D. 323, 331-332 (N.D. Cal. 1985) PVT

category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was returned or destroyed and that 

affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or 

other forms of reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this 

provision, Counsel are entitled to retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, transcripts, 

legal memoranda, correspondence or attorney 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 Section 4 (DURATION), above. 

13. MISCELLANEOUS

13.1. Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any person 

to seek its modification by the Court in the future. 

13.2. Right to Assert Other Objections. 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 Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no 

Party waives any right to object on any ground to the use in evidence of any of the material covered 

by this Protective Order. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED, THROUGH COUNSEL OF RECORD.
