informal discovery request, subpoena, deposition notice, or court order, by any Producing Party in 

this Action. 

(d) “RESTRICTED INFORMATION” shall mean Litigation Material which 

qualifies for protection under standards developed under F.R.Civ.P. 26(c), including: (i) confidential 

or proprietary technical or scientific information; (ii) confidential know-how; (iii) confidential, 

proprietary or sensitive business or financial information; (iv) product research and development 

information; (v) customer and supplier information; (vi) marketing strategies and information; 

(vii) strategic business information, including without limitation business plans, manufacturing 

information, cost information or logistical information; (viii) any information which is not generally 

known and which the Producing Party would not normally reveal to third parties or would cause third 

parties to maintain in confidence; or (ix) confidential information of a non-party that the Producing 

Party is bound by a separate confidentiality agreement or court order to maintain in confidence. 

RESTRICTED INFORMATION shall not include information that at any time has been produced, 

disclosed or made available to the public or otherwise available for public access. 

(e) “RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY INFORMATION” shall mean 

Litigation Material which reflects or contains any of the following: (i) technical specifications; 

(ii) trade secrets; (iii) confidential pricing, marketing and sales information; or (iv) any information

any non-public Litigation Material (and copies thereof) produced or disclosed by or on behalf of such 

Party or non-party, or any portion of such material, as either: 

(i) RESTRICTED INFORMATION, by placing on each page and each 

thing to which the designation applies a legend substantially as follows: “RESTRICTED 

INFORMATION SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER,” “RESTRICTED INFORMATION,” or 

other similar designation; or 

(ii) RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY INFORMATION, by 

placing on each page and each thing to which the designation applies a legend substantially as 

Case 3:09-cv-05341-WHA Document 39 Filed 06/11/10 Page 3 of 28 Case5:09-cv-05341-JF Document38 Filed06/10/10 Page3 of 28

follows: “RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY INFORMATION SUBJECT TO 

PROTECTIVE ORDER,” “RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY INFORMATION,” 

“OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY,” or other similar designation plainly indicating “Outside Counsel 

Only” Litigation Material. 

(b) 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. 

(c) 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. 

(d) If it comes to a Party’s or 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. PROCEDURE FOR OBJECTION TO DESIGNATION. 

(a) The designation of an item as RESTRICTED INFORMATION or 

RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY INFORMATION may be challenged, among other 

reasons, because (i) the information is or comes to be publicly disclosed in a printed publication, 

(ii) the information is or comes to be generally publicly known, or (iii) the information is or comes to 

be otherwise known to the Parties through other means without any breach of the confidentiality 

obligations hereunder. Any inadvertent disclosure of RESTRICTED INFORMATION or 

RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY INFORMATION under this Protective Order shall not 

serve as a basis for challenging the RESTRICTED INFORMATION or RESTRICTED OUTSIDE 

COUNSEL ONLY INFORMATION designation of the information in question. 

(b) At any time prior to the final pretrial conference in this Action, any Party may 

object in good faith to the designation or redesignation of any Litigation Material as RESTRICTED 

INFORMATION or RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY INFORMATION by providing

counsel for the Producing Party with written notice of the reasons for its objection. The Producing 

Party shall, within fourteen (14) calendar days after receiving such written notice, advise the 

objecting party, in writing, of the basis for its designation. Within ten (10) calendar days thereafter, 

the parties shall confer in a good-faith effort to resolve the matter. Failing such resolution, the Party 

objecting to the designation may apply to the Court for an order removing the RESTRICTED 

INFORMATION or RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY INFORMATION designation 

from the Litigation Material in question. 

(c) A Party that elects to press a challenge to a confidentiality designation after 

considering the justification offered by the Producing 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 set forth with specificity the 

justification for the confidentiality designation that was given by the Producing Party in the meet and 

confer dialogue. 

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

Producing 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. 

(e) Notwithstanding any objection to the designation of Litigation Material as 

RESTRICTED INFORMATION or RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY INFORMATION, 

Litigation Material designated as RESTRICTED INFORMATION or RESTRICTED OUTSIDE 

COUNSEL ONLY INFORMATION shall be treated as such and shall be subject to the provisions 

hereof unless and until one of the following occurs: (i) the party who designated the Litigation 

Material as RESTRICTED INFORMATION or RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY 

INFORMATION changes or removes such designation in writing; or (ii) the Court orders the 

Producing Party to change or remove such designation. If Litigation Material was properly shown to 

a person who would not be entitled to see it as reclassified, that person shall be advised that the

(b) A Producing Party shall have seven (7) court days from the date of facsimile or 

electronic mail service of the materials and information served pursuant to Paragraphs 10(a) or this 

Paragraph 10(b), to object to a proposed Qualified Consultant or Qualified Expert. Such objection 

must be for good cause, stating with particularity the reasons for the objection, and must be in writing 

served on all Parties. Failure to object within the period referenced in this Paragraph shall constitute 

approval. If a written notice of objection is served, no RESTRICTED INFORMATION or 

RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY INFORMATION of the Producing Party shall not be 

disclosed to the proposed Qualified Consultant or Qualified Expert until the objection is resolved by 

agreement or by an order of the Court. 

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

Producing 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 Producing Party for its refusal to approve the disclosure. 

(d) The objecting Producing Party shall have the burden of demonstrating by a 

preponderance of the evidence that the proposed Qualified Consultant or Qualified Expert should not 

be permitted to receive RESTRICTED INFORMATION or RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL 

ONLY INFORMATION. 

11. APPROVAL OF PROPOSED SPECIALLY QUALIFIED PERSONS.

(a) A person shall become a Specially Qualified Person as to a particular 

Producing Party and may receive RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY INFORMATION of 

that Producing Party only after the following conditions have been satisfied: (i) the proposed 

Case 3:09-cv-05341-WHA Document 39 Filed 06/11/10 Page 9 of 28 Case5:09-cv-05341-JF Document38 Filed06/10/10 Page9 of 28

known present or former relationships or engagements between the proposed Specially Qualified 

Person and any Party or known competitor of a Party have been served on the Producing Party; and 

(iii) the Producing Party has approved of the proposed Specially Qualified Person, or the Court has 

ruled on an application by the Receiving Party that the proposed Specially Qualified Person may 

receive RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY INFORMATION. 

(b) A Producing Party shall have fourteen (14) calendar days from the date of 

facsimile or electronic mail service of the materials and information served pursuant to 

Paragraphs 11(a) or this Paragraph 11(b), plus three (3) additional calendar days if service is made by 

mail, to object to a proposed Specially Qualified Person. Such objection must be for good cause, 

stating with particularity the reasons for the objection, and must be in writing served on all Parties. 

Failure to object within the period referenced in this Paragraph shall constitute approval. If a written 

notice of objection is served, no RESTRICTED INFORMATION or RESTRICTED OUTSIDE 

COUNSEL ONLY INFORMATION of the Producing Party shall be disclosed to the proposed 

Specially Qualified Person until the objection is resolved by agreement or by an order of the Court. 

(c) The Party seeking to disclose RESTRICTED INFORMATION or 

RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY INFORMATION to the proposed Qualified Employee, 

Qualified Consultant, or Qualified Expert bears the burden of seeking an order of the Court. The 

objecting Producing Party shall have the burden of demonstrating by a preponderance of the evidence 

that the proposed Qualified Employee, Qualified Consultant, or Qualified Expert should not be 

permitted to receive RESTRICTED INFORMATION or RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL 

ONLY INFORMATION. 

12. LIMITED DISCLOSURE TO PARTIES WITH PRIOR ACCESS. Nothing 

herein shall prevent the disclosure of any RESTRICTED INFORMATION or RESTRICTED 

OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY INFORMATION to any of the following: 

(a) any current employee of the Producing Party;

(b) any former employee of the Producing Party if the RESTRICTED 

INFORMATION or RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY INFORMATION originated with, 

or was sent to, the former employee during the term of employment of the former employee, as 

evidenced by the identification of the former employee as an author, recipient, or copyee on the face 

of the RESTRICTED INFORMATION or RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY 

INFORMATION. 

13. LIMITED DISCLOSURE TO WITNESSES TESTIFYING AT TRIAL OR AT 

DEPOSITION. RESTRICTED INFORMATION or RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY 

INFORMATION may be made available, or the contents thereof disclosed, to witnesses testifying at 

trial or at deposition, or who provide an affidavit or certification, only if: 

(a) in the case of a document, it appears that the witness has previously seen or 

received the RESTRICTED INFORMATION or RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY 

INFORMATION contained therein, either because the document identifies the witness as an author, 

recipient or copyee, or because the document comes from the files of the witness; 

(b) the lawyer disclosing such RESTRICTED INFORMATION or RESTRICTED 

OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY INFORMATION has a reasonable, good-faith belief based upon the 

witness’s testimony or the testimony of other witnesses that the witness has had previous access to 

the RESTRICTED INFORMATION or RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY 

INFORMATION; 

(c) the Producing Party agrees in writing that the witness may have access to the 

RESTRICTED INFORMATION or RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY INFORMATION 

for purposes of his or her testimony at trial and/or at deposition; or 

(d) the witness is employed by or affiliated with the Producing Party. 

If the basis of the disclosure is (a) or (b) above, then immediately after the disclosure, the lawyer 

disclosing such RESTRICTED INFORMATION or RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY 

INFORMATION must make an inquiry with respect to the witness’s previous access to such

INFORMATION, the item shall be withdrawn and no further inquiry regarding the RESTRICTED 

INFORMATION or RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY INFORMATION shall be 

permitted. Any witness testifying at trial or at deposition or who provides an affidavit or 

certification, or his or her counsel, who receives RESTRICTED INFORMATION or RESTRICTED 

OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY INFORMATION shall not reveal or discuss the contents of that 

information to or with any person who is not entitled to receive such information pursuant to this 

Protective Order. 

14. DESIGNATION OF DEPOSITION TESTIMONY. A Party or non-party may 

designate information disclosed during a deposition as RESTRICTED INFORMATION or 

RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY INFORMATION by so indicating on the record at the 

deposition. A Party or non-party may also designate in writing, within twenty (20) calendar days of 

the receipt of the final version of the transcript (the “Designation Period”), specific pages of the 

transcript to be treated as RESTRICTED INFORMATION or RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL 

ONLY INFORMATION. Until the Designation Period has elapsed for a given transcript or portion 

thereof, that transcript or such portion shall be treated as RESTRICTED INFORMATION or 

RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY INFORMATION. When information contained or 

incorporated in a deposition transcript is designated as RESTRICTED INFORMATION or 

RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY INFORMATION, arrangements shall be made with 

the court reporter by the Party making the designation to label the relevant pages RESTRICTED 

INFORMATION or RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY INFORMATION, as the case may 

be. 

15. ATTENDANCE AT DEPOSITIONS. During depositions of any Party or non-party, 

a Party or non-party claiming that information to be disclosed or upon which questions may be based 

is RESTRICTED INFORMATION or RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY 

INFORMATION may exclude from the room any person who is not a QUALIFIED PERSON or 

SPECIALLY QUALIFIED PERSON, as appropriate under this Protective Order. 

16. FILING RESTRICTED INFORMATION AND RESTRICTED OUTSIDE 

COUNSEL ONLY INFORMATION. Without written permission from the Producing Party, or a

court order secured after appropriate notice to all interest persons, a Party may not file in the public 

record in this action and RESTRICTED INFORMATION or RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL 

ONLY INFORMATION. Requests by any Party to file RESTRICTED INFORMATION and 

RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY INFORMATION under seal shall be governed by 

Civil Local Rule 79-5. 

17. USE OF RESTRICTED INFORMATION OR RESTRICTED OUTSIDE 

COUNSEL ONLY INFORMATION AT TRIAL. Nothing in this Protective Order shall prevent a 

Party from using any RESTRICTED INFORMATION or RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL 

ONLY INFORMATION at a hearing or at trial. The Parties may request that attendance at those 

portions of the hearing or trial, or access to the transcripts of those portions of the hearing or the trial, 

in which RESTRICTED INFORMATION or RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY 

INFORMATION is disclosed be restricted to court personnel, QUALIFIED PERSONS, and 

SPECIALLY QUALIFIED PERSONS, as appropriate, pursuant to this Protective Order. 

18. PROCEDURE FOR POST-PRODUCTION DESIGNATION. At any time prior to 

the final pretrial conference in this Action, a Producing Party may seek additional protection for 

previously produced Litigation Material by designating such Litigation Material as RESTRICTED 

INFORMATION or RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY INFORMATION, or changing the 

classification of any Litigation Material designated RESTRICTED INFORMATION or 

RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY INFORMATION, by providing written notice to the 

recipients of such information, provided that no such recipient shall be bound by the terms of this 

Protective Order, or be subject to liability for failure to comply with such terms, until receipt of such 

written notice. If Litigation Material was properly shown to a person who would not be entitled to 

see it as newly designated or redesignated, that person shall be advised that the Litigation Material 

has been designated or redesignated as RESTRICTED INFORMATION or RESTRICTED 

OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY INFORMATION, as the case may be, and instructed not to use the 

Litigation Material for any purpose other than the litigation of this Action.

19. AVAILABILITY TO NON-PARTIES. Any non-party, whether an individual or 

entity, from whom discovery is sought may obtain the protection of this Protective Order by written 

request to the Party seeking such discovery. 

20. NOTICE TO NON-PARTIES. Any Party issuing a subpoena to a non-party shall 

enclose a copy of this Protective Order with a request that, within ten (10) calendar days, the nonparty either request the protection of this Protective Order or notify the issuing party that the nonparty does not need the protection of this Protective Order or wishes to seek different protection. 

21. NO WAIVER. 

(a) Nothing in this Protective Order shall prejudice the right of any Party to object 

to the production of any document or part thereof upon any appropriate ground, including any 

applicable privilege, and nothing herein shall be construed as a waiver of such right. Moreover, 

nothing in this Protective Order shall prejudice the right of any Party to object to the admissibility at 

trial of any Litigation Material or other evidentiary material on any appropriate ground, and nothing 

herein shall be construed as a waiver of such right. 

(b) Entering into, agreeing to and/or complying with the terms of this Protective 

Order shall not (i) operate as an admission by any Party that any particular Litigation Material 

contains or reflects currently valuable trade secrets or protected proprietary or commercial 

information; or (ii) operate as an admission by any Party that any particular Litigation Material is, or 

is not, relevant to this Action. 

22. PARTIES’ OWN INFORMATION. Nothing in this Protective Order shall limit any 

Producing Party’s use of its own documents, things or information. Nor shall anything in this 

Protective Order prevent any Producing Party from disclosing its RESTRICTED INFORMATION or 

RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY INFORMATION to any person. Such disclosures 

shall not affect any designation of such information as RESTRICTED INFORMATION or 

RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY INFORMATION pursuant to the terms of this 

Protective Order so long as the disclosure is made in a manner which is reasonably calculated to 

maintain the confidentiality of the information.

23. DISCLOSURES BEYOND PROTECTIVE ORDER. Nothing in this Protective 

Order shall prevent disclosure beyond the terms of this Protective Order (i) if the Designating 

Party(ies) consents to such disclosure; (ii) if the Court, after notice to all affected persons, allows 

such disclosure; or (iii) if the Party to whom RESTRICTED INFORMATION or RESTRICTED 

OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY INFORMATION has been produced thereafter becomes obligated to 

disclose the information in response to a lawful subpoena or other legal process, provided that the 

subpoenaed party gives prompt written notice to counsel for the Designating Party and permits 

counsel for that party at least fourteen (14) calendar days from receipt of the written notice to 

intervene and seek judicial protection from the enforcement of the subpoena and/or entry of an 

appropriate protective order in the action in which the subpoena was issued 

24. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED LITIGATION 

MATERIAL. The inadvertent production of Litigation Material which a Party or non-party later 

claims should not have been produced because of a privilege, including but not limited to the 

attorney-client privilege, work-product privilege or joint defense privilege (“Inadvertently Produced 

Privileged Material”) will not be deemed a waiver of any privileges. A Party or non-party may 

request the return of any Inadvertently Produced Privileged Material. A request for the return of any 

Inadvertently Produced Privileged Material shall identify the Litigation Material inadvertently 

produced and the basis for withholding such Litigation Material from production. If a Party or nonparty requests the return, pursuant to this Paragraph, of any Inadvertently Produced Privileged 

Material then in custody of another party, such party shall within five (5) business days return to the 

requesting Party or non-party the Inadvertently Produced Privileged Material and destroy all copies 

thereof. The party or parties returning such Inadvertently Produced Privileged Material shall not 

assert as a ground for entering an order compelling production of the Inadvertently Produced 

Privileged Material the fact or circumstances of the inadvertent production. The return of any 

Inadvertently Produced Privileged Material shall not in any way preclude the Receiving Party from 

moving the Court for an order that (i) the Litigation Material was never privileged or otherwise 

immune from disclosure; or (ii) any applicable privilege or immunity has been waived by some act 

other than the production of the Litigation Material.

25. INADVERTENT DISCLOSURE OF RESTRICTED INFORMATION OR 

RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY INFORMATION.

(a) If any Litigation Material that a Party or non-party intends to designate as 

RESTRICTED INFORMATION or RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY INFORMATION 

is inadvertently disclosed without being marked in accordance with this Protective Order, the failure 

to so mark the Litigation Material shall not be deemed a waiver of its confidentiality. 

(b) If any Litigation Material designated as RESTRICTED INFORMATION or 

RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY INFORMATION hereunder is disclosed, through 

inadvertence or otherwise, to a person or party other than a QUALIFIED PERSON or 

SPECIFICALLY QUALIFIED PERSON, as the case may be, then the party disclosing the 

information shall use its best efforts to bind such person or party to the terms of this Protective Order 

and (a) such person shall be informed promptly of all provisions of this Protective Order by the 

disclosing party; (b) such person shall be identified immediately to the Party that designated the 

Litigation Material as RESTRICTED INFORMATION or RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL 

ONLY INFORMATION; and (c) the person to whom disclosure was made shall be requested to sign 

an Agreement to Abide by Protective Order in the form of Exhibit C hereto, which signed Agreement 

shall be served on the Party that designated the Litigation Material as RESTRICTED 

INFORMATION or RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL INFORMATION. Nothing in this 

Paragraph shall affect the Producing Party’s remedies under this Protective Order or otherwise for 

such unauthorized disclosure. 

26. RETURN OR DESTRUCTION OF RESTRICTED INFORMATION OR 

RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY INFORMATION UPON CONCLUSION OF 

THIS ACTION. 

(a) At the conclusion of this Action, each party subject to the terms of this 

Protective Order shall assemble and return to each Producing Party all originals and reproductions of 

any Litigation Material containing information designated as RESTRICTED INFORMATION or 

RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY INFORMATION within sixty (60) days of the 

conclusion of this Action, including notes made therefrom or summaries thereof, in lieu of returning

Litigation Material within sixty (60) days of the conclusion of this Action, provided the party electing 

to undertake such destruction certifies to the Producing Party in writing that it has made a reasonable 

and good-faith effort to destroy such Litigation Material, and that all such material has been 

destroyed to the best of its knowledge. 

(b) Notwithstanding Paragraph 26(a), and subject to Paragraph 6, outside litigation 

counsel for each Party may retain a record including one copy of the following, irrespective of 

whether or not RESTRICTED INFORMATION or RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY 

INFORMATION or another Party or non-party is included: (i) its correspondence file of this case; 

(ii) its pleading file, including all briefs, memoranda, affidavits, supporting materials, and all papers 

served on the Party; (iii) any briefs and appendixes on appeal; (iv) all legal research memoranda; 

(v) its file of deposition transcripts and accompanying exhibits; and (vi) its file of trial transcripts and 

accompanying exhibits. 

27. SURVIVAL OF OBLIGATIONS.

(a) All the provisions of this Protective Order shall survive the conclusion of this 

Action, and shall continue to be binding after the conclusion of this Action unless subsequently 

modified by agreement among the Parties or further order of the Court. 

(b) “Conclusion of this Action” shall mean such time as all appeal periods have 

expired and any settlement or judgment has become final. 

(c) For the purposes of enforcing this Protective Order and resolving any disputes 

thereunder, the Court retains jurisdiction over the Parties and any persons provided access to 

RESTRICTED INFORMATION or RESTRICTED OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY INFORMATION 

under the terms of this Protective Order for a period of six months after the final termination of this 

action. 

28. VIOLATIONS SANCTIONABLE. All persons bound by this Protective Order are 

hereby notified that if this Protective Order is in any manner violated, the person or entity who

29. RELIEF FROM PROTECTIVE ORDER. Entry of this Protective Order shall be 

without prejudice to the application by any Party or non-party (i) for relief from any restriction 

contained herein or (ii) for any order compelling or further restricting the production or use of any 

Litigation Material produced, furnished, or disclosed in the course of discovery in this Action. The 

Parties may amend or modify any provision of this Order by mutual agreement, which agreement 

shall be embodied in a written stipulation to be approved by the Court.
