STIPULATION RE CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by the parties, by and through their respective 

attorneys of record and pursuant to FED. R. CIV. P. 26(c)(7) and 29, that discovery in this case of 

confidential information shall be had on the following terms and conditions: 

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 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; 

Local Rule 39-141 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 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 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 Stipulated Protective 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 Stipulated Protective 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 Stipulated Protective 

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 Stipulated Protective 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 

Stipulated Protective 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 Stipulated Protective Order 

must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or produced. 

Designation in conformity with this Stipulated Protective 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 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 Stipulated Protective 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 

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 "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 may invoke on the record (before the deposition or proceeding is 

concluded) a right to have up to 20 days from receipt of the transcript from the court reporter 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 

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 accordance with the requirements of Local Rule 37-251. 

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 pursuant to the discovery dispute resolution procedures of Local Rule 37-251. 

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 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: 

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

attached hereto as Exhibit A; 

(b) the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel) of 

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

signed the "Agreement to Be Bound by Protective Order" (Exhibit A); 

(c) experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom 

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

Bound by Protective Order" (Exhibit A);

anyone except as permitted under this Stipulated Protective Order. 

(g) the author of the document or the original source of the information. 

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

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 "HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL -ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY" only to:

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 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 in accordance with the requirements of Local Rule 37-251. If no agreement 

is reached, the Party seeking to make the disclosure to the Expert may file a motion pursuant to the 

discovery dispute resolution procedures of Local Rule 37-251. 

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 Stipulated 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 Stipulated 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 Stipulated Protective 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 Local Rule 39-141. 

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 allProtected 

Material to the Producing Party. As used in this subdivision, "all Protected Material" includes all
