PROTECTIVE ORDER 1

CASE NO. 06-07028 MMC 

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, Plaintiff and 

Counterdefendant FLOTSAM OF CALIFORNIA, INC. dba NOLAND’S ON THE WHARF and 

SHORELINE SURF SHOP (“Flotsam”) and Defendant and Counterclaimant HUNTINGTON 

BEACH CONFERENCE AND VISITORS BUREAU (“the Bureau”) (collectively, “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 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 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' Eves Only" Information or Items: extremely

sensitive "Confidential Information or Items" whose disclosure to another Party or non-party 

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

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

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:

CASE NO. 06-07028 MMC 

(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" on 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") on 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 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 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 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. 

7.2 Disclosure of "CONFIDENTIAL" Information or Items. Unless otherwise

employees of said Counsel to whom it is reasonably necessary to disclose the information for 

this litigation and who have signed the "Agreement to Be Bound by Protective Order" that is 

attached hereto as Exhibit A;

Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed

is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the "Agreement to Be Bound by

reasonably necessary and who have signed the "Agreement to Be Bound by Protective Order"

7.3 Disclosure of "HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY"

Designating Party, a Receiving Party may disclose any information or item designated 

"

HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY" only to: 

(a) the Receiving Party's Outside Counsel of record in this action, as well as 

employees of said Counsel to whom it is reasonably necessary to disclose the information for

attached hereto as Exhibit A; 

(b) Experts (as defined in this Order) (1) to whom disclosure is reasonably 

necessary for this litigation, (2) who have signed the "Agreement to Be Bound by Protective 

Order" (Exhibit A), and (3) as to whom the procedures set forth in paragraph 7.4, below, have 

been followed; 

(c) the Court and its personnel;

7.4 Procedures for Approving Disclosure of "HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL -

ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY" Information or Items to "Experts"

(a) Unless otherwise ordered by the court or agreed in writing by the Designating Party, 

a Party that seeks to disclose to an "Expert" (as defined in this Order) any information 

or item that has been designated "HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS.' EYES 

ONLY" first must make a written request to the Designating Party that (1) identifies the 

specific HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL information that the Receiving Party seeks 

permission to disclose to the Expert, (2) sets forth the full name of the Expert and the 

city and state of his or her primary residence, (3) attaches a copy of the Expert's current 

resume, (4) identifies the Expert's current employer(s), (5) identifies each person or

entity from whom the Expert has received compensation for work in his or her areas of 

expertise or to whom the expert has provided professional services at any time during 

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

and location of 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 Parry. 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. 

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 

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 to execute the "Acknowledgment and Agreement to 

Be Bound" that is attached hereto as Exhibit A. 

 10. 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. 

11. 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 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. 

12. MISCELLANEOUS

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

to seek its modification by the Court in the future. 

12.2 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 use in evidence of any of the material covered 

by this Protective Order.
