STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

Case No. 19-cv-1482

Pursuant to Rule 26(c) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Defendant E. & J. Gallo 

Winery (“Gallo”) and Plaintiff Vineyard Investigations (“Vineyard”), through their undersigned 

counsel, respectfully submit this Stipulated Protective Order to govern the handling of 

information and materials produced in the course of discovery or filed with the Court in advance 

of trial in this action.

GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT PURSUANT TO L.R. 141.1(c)

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 may 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 from 

public disclosure and use extends only to the limited information or items that are entitled to 

confidential treatment under applicable legal principles. It is the intent of the parties and the 

Court that information will not be designated as confidential for tactical reasons in this case, and 

that nothing will be so designated without a good faith belief that there is good cause as to why 

information should not be part of the public record. 

Statement Under L.R. 141.1(c)(1): Examples of confidential information that the parties 

may seek to protect from unrestricted or unprotected disclosure include:

a) Proprietary engineering or technical information, including product design, 

manufacturing techniques, drawings, technical specifications, memoranda, and 

reports;

b) Research and development information;

c) Trade secret information; 

d) Information that is the subject of a non-disclosure or confidentiality agreement or 

obligation;

e) The names of a party’s vendors, distributors, current or potential licensees, or 

customers (or other information tending to reveal their identities);

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

Case No. 19-cv-1482

f) Agreements with third-parties; 

g) Information related to budgets, sales, profits, costs, margins, product pricing, or 

other internal financial/accounting information, including non-public information 

related to financial condition or performance and income or other non-public tax 

information; 

h) Information related to internal operations, including personnel information; 

i) Information related to past, current, and future product development; and 

j) Information related to past, current, and future market analyses and business and 

marketing development, including plans, strategies, forecasts and competition.

Statement Under L.R. 141.1(c)(2): Generally speaking, information and documents 

shall only be designated under this protective order because the Designating Party believes the 

information or documents are proprietary, confidential, and/or trade secret information that the 

Designating Party would not release publicly. Unrestricted or unprotected disclosure of such 

confidential, technical, commercial, or personal information would result in prejudice or harm to 

the Producing Party by revealing the Producing Party’s competitive confidential information. 

Such information will have been developed at the expense of the Producing Party and represent 

valuable tangible and intangible assets of that party. Additionally, privacy interests must be 

safeguarded. Accordingly, the parties respectfully submit that there is good cause for the entry of 

this Protective Order.

Statement Under L.R. 141.1(c)(3): The parties submit that protecting the confidential 

nature of information in this way will be most efficient for the parties and the Court. Although 

discovery has only just commenced, the parties are likely to move and/or cross-move for 

summary judgment based on information the parties provide to each other during discovery in 

this case. Additionally, the parties may need to reveal information that they believe to be 

confidential in amended pleadings, in further motion practice relating to the pleadings, and/or in 

motion practice concerning the sufficiency of the parties’ respective discovery responses. Thus, a 

private agreement between the parties to safeguard this information would not be sufficient 

because it would need to be replicated in orders of this Court at the time of any such filings.

Accordingly, in order to expedite the flow of discovery materials, facilitate the prompt 

resolution of disputes over confidentiality of discovery materials, adequately protect information 

the parties are entitled to keep confidential, ensure that only materials the parties are entitled to 

keep confidential are subject to such treatment, and ensure that the parties are permitted 

reasonably necessary uses of such materials in preparation for and in the conduct of trial, pursuant 

to Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(c), it is hereby ORDERED:

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 those specifically set forth in this Order may 

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

disclosures or responses to discovery and that the protection it affords from public disclosure and 

use extends only to the limited information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment 

under the applicable legal principles.

2. DEFINITIONS

2.1. Challenging Party: a Party or Non-Party that challenges the designation of 

information or items under this Order.

2.2. “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items: information that qualifies for protection 

under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c), including information that a Producing Party, 

including any Party to this action and any Non-Party producing information or material 

voluntarily or pursuant to a subpoena or a court order, considers in good faith to constitute or 

contain confidential technical, sales, marketing, financial, or other commercially sensitive 

information, whether embodied in physical objects, documents, or the factual knowledge of 

persons, and which has been so designated by the Producing Party. 

2.3. Counsel: Designated House Counsel and Outside Counsel of Record.

2.4. Designated House Counsel: House Counsel for each Receiving Party with 

responsibility for managing this litigation, who may have access to “CONFIDENTIAL” and

2.6. Designating Party: a Party or Non-Party that designates any Disclosure or 

Discovery Material as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS’ 

EYES ONLY” as defined in this Order.

2.7. Disclosure or Discovery Material: all items or information, regardless of the 

medium or manner in which it is generated, stored, or maintained (including, among other things, 

testimony, transcripts, and tangible things), that are produced or generated in this matter, 

including documents, data and information, answers to interrogatories, answers to deposition 

questions, responses to requests for admission, affidavits, expert reports, 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.

2.8. Expert: a person with specialized knowledge or experience in a matter pertinent to 

the litigation who (1) has been retained by a Party or its Counsel to serve as an expert witness or 

as a consultant in this action, (2) is not a current employee of a Party or of a Party’s competitor, 

and (3) at the time of retention, is not anticipated to become an employee of a Party or of a 

Party’s competitor.

2.9. “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” Information or 

Items: extremely sensitive “CONFIDENTIAL Information or Items,” disclosure of which to 

another Party or Non-Party would create a substantial risk of serious harm that could not be 

avoided by less restrictive means. HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY 

means CONFIDENTIAL Information or Items that constitute(s) proprietary engineering, design, 

marketing, financial, sales, research and development, or technical data/information or 

commercially sensitive competitive information, including, without limitation, trade secrets, 

business models or plans, sensitive agreements with third parties, internal financial statements, 

non-public agreements, and/or information or documents that relate to products of any Party 

under development, and that the Designating Party reasonably believes should not be disclosed to 

the public or to a Party because such disclosure could create a substantial risk of serious harm. In 

determining whether information should be designated as HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL -

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY, each Party agrees to use such designation in good faith.

2.19. Trade Secret Modeling and Algorithm Information: Highly ConfidentialAttorneys’ Eyes Only information that consists of proprietary and sensitive modeling data and 

algorithms, or portions thereof, developed by Gallo for use in its irrigation decisions and the 

secrecy of which Gallo has taken significant efforts to maintain. 

3. SCOPE

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

defined above), but also (1) any information copied or extracted from Protected Material; (2) all 

copies, excerpts, summaries, or compilations of Protected Material; and (3) any testimony, 

conversations, or presentations by Parties or their Counsel that might reveal Protected Material. 

However, the protections conferred by this Protective Order do not cover the following 

information: (a) any information that is in the public domain at the time of disclosure to a 

Receiving Party or becomes part of the public domain after its disclosure to a Receiving Party as 

a result of publication not involving a violation of this Order, including becoming part of the 

public record through trial or otherwise; and (b) any information known to the Receiving Party 

prior to the disclosure or obtained by the Receiving Party after the disclosure from a source who 

obtained the information lawfully and under no obligation of confidentiality to the Designating 

Party. Any production and corresponding protection of computer software or source code shall 

be governed by a separate agreement or order, to be negotiated by the parties in the event such 

production becomes necessary. Technical documentation will not be defined as source code or 

otherwise withheld from production on the basis that it may contain incidental excerpts or 

quotations, or describe the operation of computer software or source code.

4. DURATION

Even after final disposition 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. Final disposition shall be deemed to be the later of (1) dismissal of all 

claims and defenses in this action, with or without prejudice; and (2) final judgment herein after 

the completion and exhaustion of all appeals, rehearings, remands, trials or reviews of this action, 

including the time limits for filing any motions or applications for extension of time pursuant to

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. 

To the extent it is practical to do so, the Designating Party must 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.

If a Designating Party determines 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 Designating Party shall promptly notify all other parties of the incorrect designation 

and, where appropriate, provide replacement copies of the information or items bearing the 

corrected 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 by the 

Court, Disclosure or Discovery 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 (e.g., paper or electronic documents, but 

excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that the Producing 

Party affix the legend “CONFIDENTIAL,” “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS’ 

EYES ONLY,” and/or “TRADE SECRET MODELING AND ALGORITHM INFORMATION” 

to each page of the document that contains Protected Material, or to highlighted portions of 

material, or in the case of native documents, the Producing Party shall in some other way clearly 

designate Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection under this Order. 

A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents or materials available for inspection 

need not designate them for protection pursuant to this Section 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”) to each page that contains 

Protected Material, or in the case of native documents, the Producing Party shall in some other 

way clearly designate Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection under this 

Order.

(b) for testimony given in deposition or in other pretrial or trial proceedings, that the 

Designating Party specify on the record, before the close of the deposition, hearing, or other 

proceeding, that the transcript be treated in whole or in part as “CONFIDENTIAL,” “HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” or “TRADE SECRET MODELING AND 

ALGORITHM INFORMATION.” Alternatively, a Designating Party may specify within 14 

calendar days of the date the testimony was given that the transcript in whole or in part shall be 

treated as “CONFIDENTIAL,” “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” or 

“TRADE SECRET MODELING AND ALGORITHM INFORMATION.” In all circumstances, 

all parties shall treat such testimony as “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES 

ONLY” during the 14 days after the testimony is given, unless all parties confirm in writing that 

the testimony does not contain any Protected Material or Gallo designates any part of the 

transcript as TRADE SECRET MODELING AND ALGORITHM INFORMATION before the 

end of the 14-day period.

(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,”

“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” or TRADE SECRET 

MODELING AND ALGORITHM INFORMATION.

(d) for information not reduced to documentary, tangible or physical form, or which 

cannot be conveniently designated as set forth in paragraphs 5.2(a)-(c), that the Producing Party 

shall inform the Receiving Party of the designation in writing.

(e) at the time of any inspection of land, that the Designating Party indicate whether 

information seen or photographed/videotaped during the inspection is to be treated in whole or in 

part as “CONFIDENTIAL,” “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” or 

“TRADE SECRET MODELING AND ALGORITHM INFORMATION.” Alternatively, a 

Designating Party may specify within 14 calendar days of the date of the inspection that such 

information in whole or in part shall be treated as “CONFIDENTIAL,” “HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” or “TRADE SECRET MODELING AND 

ALGORITHM INFORMATION.” In all circumstances, all parties shall treat such testimony as 

“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” or “TRADE SECRET 

MODELING AND ALGORITHM INFORMATION” during the inspection and for 14 days after 

the inspection, unless all parties confirm in writing that the information does not contain any 

Protected Material or Gallo designates any part of the transcript as TRADE SECRET 

MODELING AND ALGORITHM INFORMATION before the end of the 14-day period. Any 

party that subsequently produces photographs/videos taken during an inspection will designate 

them appropriately pursuant to this section.

5.3. Failures to Designate. A failure to designate qualified information or items, 

whether by inadvertence or otherwise, does not waive, in whole or in part, the Designating 

Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such material. Upon subsequent correction 

of a designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable efforts to assure that the material is 

treated in accordance with any revised designations under the provisions of this Order and 

promptly collect any copies of the material that have been provided to individuals other than 

those authorized under Paragraph 7 of this Order. The Designating Party may also request any 

individuals who were provided with copies of such material to execute the “Acknowledgement 

and Agreement to be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

6. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS

6.1. Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a designation of 

confidentiality at any time. Unless a prompt challenge to a Designating Party’s confidentiality 

designation is necessary to avoid foreseeable, substantial unfairness, unnecessary economic 

burdens, or a 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. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute resolution 

process by providing written notice of each designation it is challenging and describing the basis 

for each challenge. To avoid ambiguity as to whether a challenge has been made, the written 

notice must recite that the challenge to confidentiality is being made in accordance with this 

specific paragraph of the Protective Order. The parties shall attempt to resolve each challenge in 

good faith and must begin the process by conferring directly within 7 business days of the date of 

service of written notice. In conferring, the Challenging Party must explain the basis for its belief 

that the confidentiality designation was not proper. The Designating Party shall have 7 business 

days after the date of the conference 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 by 

seeking judicial intervention according to paragraph 6.3 only if it has engaged in this meet and 

confer process first or establishes that the Designating Party is unwilling to participate in the meet 

and confer process in a timely manner. If the volume of documents whose designation is being 

challenged under this process is large, the timelines set forth above may be reasonably adjusted 

by agreement of the parties.

6.3 Judicial Intervention. If the Parties cannot resolve a challenge through the meet 

and confer process set forth in the preceding paragraph, the Challenging Party may file and serve 

a motion challenging a confidentiality designation if there is good cause for doing so, including a 

challenge to the designation of a deposition transcript or any portions thereof. Each such motion 

shall be made pursuant to Rule 251 of the Local Rules of the above-captioned court.

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

Case No. 19-cv-1482

Notwithstanding the above, the Parties may instead agree to submit their dispute to the Court’s 

informal discovery dispute conference procedure in lieu of formal motion practice. (Hon. Oberto 

Chamber Rules § 6.)

The burden of demonstrating the confidential nature of any Protected Material in any such 

challenge proceeding shall be on the Designating Party. 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 until the Court rules on the challenge.

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 only in connection with prosecuting, defending, 

or attempting to settle this litigation. Protected Material may be disclosed to the categories of 

persons and under the conditions described in this Order. 

All produced 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. When the litigation has been terminated, a Receiving Party must comply with the 

provisions of section 13 below (“FINAL DISPOSITION”).

Nothing herein shall affect the right of the Designating Party to disclose to any person its 

own Protected Material. Such disclosure shall not waive the protections of this Order and shall 

not entitle other parties or their attorneys to disclose such information in violation of it, unless by 

such disclosure of the Designating Party the information becomes public knowledge. Similarly, 

this Order shall not preclude a Party from showing its own Protected Material to any person when 

such Protected Material has been filed under seal by the opposing party.

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 Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably necessary to disclose the 

information for this litigation;

reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and

below have been followed; and their regularly employed support personnel to whom it is 

reasonably necessary to disclose the information; and

(h) during their depositions or in court proceedings, witnesses in the action, provided 

that (1) such documents or information were authored by, addressed to, or received by such 

witnesses, (2) such documents or information were produced by or obtained from such witnesses, 

or (3) such witnesses did or would have had permission to access such documents or information 

via their relationship (employment or otherwise) with the Designating Party at or after the time 

the document or information was created.

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:

“Acknowledgment and Agreement to be Bound” (Exhibit A) and as to whom the procedures set 

forth in paragraph 7.4(a)(1) below have been followed;

7.4. Procedures for Approving or Objecting to Disclosure of Protected Material to 

Experts and to officers, directors, and employees of a Receiving Party.

(a) No disclosure of Protected Material to an Expert or officer, director, or employee / 

consultant of the Receiving Party shall occur until (i) that person has signed the form attached 

hereto as Exhibit A; (ii) a signed copy has been provided to the Producing Party; and (iii) to the 

extent there has been an objection under paragraph 7.4(c), that objection has been resolved as 

provided for below.

(b) A Receiving Party desiring to disclose Protected Material to an Expert, shall give 

written notice by email to the Producing Party, who shall have five (5) business days after such 

notice is given to object in writing. At the time the written notice is given, the Receiving Party 

desiring to disclose Protected Material to a proposed recipient must provide the following 

information, for each such proposed recipient: name, address, and current employer. The written 

notice relating to an Expert must also provide a curriculum vitae and employment history for the 

past five years, a listing of the cases in which the witness has testified as an expert at trial or by 

deposition within the preceding five years, and an identification of any patents or applications for 

patents in which the Expert is identified as an inventor or applicant, which the Expert is involved 

in the prosecution or maintenance thereof, or any patents or patent application in which the 

Expert has any pecuniary interest. No Protected Material shall be disclosed to such proposed 

recipient until after the expiration of the foregoing notice period, unless the notice period is 

waived in writing by the Producing Party. 

(c) A Party objecting to the disclosure of Protected Material shall state with 

particularity the ground(s) of the objection. The objecting Party’s consent to the disclosure of 

Protected Material to the proposed recipient shall not be unreasonably withheld, and its objection 

must be based on that Party’s good faith belief that disclosure of its Protected Material to the 

proposed recipient will result in specific business or economic harm to that Party notwithstanding

A).

(d) If after consideration of the objection, the Receiving Party refuses to withdraw the 

proposed recipient, that Party shall provide notice to the objecting Party. Thereafter, the 

objecting Party may move the Court, within five (5) business days of receiving such notice, for a 

ruling on its objection. A failure to file a motion within the five (5) business day period shall 

operate as an approval of disclosure of the Protected Material to the proposed recipient. If the 

objecting Party so moves the Court, the Receiving Party shall not disclose any Protected Material 

to the proposed recipient until the Court resolves the dispute or the parties otherwise resolve the 

dispute. The parties agree to cooperate in good faith to shorten the time frames set forth in this 

paragraph if necessary to abide by any discovery or briefing schedules.

The objecting Party shall have the burden of showing to the Court “good cause” for 

preventing the disclosure of its Protected Material to the proposed recipient. 

8. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN 

OTHER LITIGATION

If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation that compels 

disclosure of any information or items designated in this action as “CONFIDENTIAL” or 

“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” that Party must:

(a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall include a 

copy of the subpoena or court order;

(b) promptly notify 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 subject to 

this Protective Order. Such notification shall include a copy of this Protective Order; and 

(c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued by the 

Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.

If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with the 

subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this action as 

“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” before a

determination by the court from which the subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has obtained 

the Designating Party’s permission in writing. The Designating Party shall bear the burden and 

expense 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. If the Designating Party does not take steps to 

prevent disclosure of such documents within ten (10) business days of the date written notice is 

received, the Party to whom the referenced subpoena is directed may produce such documents in 

response thereto, provided that the Party produces such documents subject to forms of protection 

at least as restrictive as those provided under this Protective Order.

9. A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE PRODUCED IN 

THIS LITIGATION

(a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a Non-Party in 

this action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL 

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” Such information produced by Non-Parties in connection with 

this litigation is protected by the remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in these 

provisions should be construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional protections.

(b) A Non-Party’s use of this Order to protect its Protected Information does not 

entitle that Non-Party access to the Protected Information produced by any Party in this case.

(c) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to produce a 

Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is subject to an agreement 

with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s confidential information, then the Party shall:

(1) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party that 

some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality agreement with a 

Non-Party;

(2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Protective Order in this 

litigation, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably specific description of the 

information requested; and 

(3) make the information requested available for inspection by the Non-Party.

(d) If the Non-Party fails to object or seek a protective order from this court within 10 

business days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party may 

produce the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the discovery request. If the 

Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall not produce any information 

in its possession or control that is subject to the confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party 

before a determination by the court. Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall 

bear the burden and expense of seeking protection of its Protected Material in this court.

10. 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 Protective Order, the 

Receiving Party must: (a) within three (3) business days of learning of the disclosure, notify in 

writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures; (b) immediately use its best efforts 

to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material; (c) within one (1) business day of 

learning of the disclosure (i) inform the person or persons, to whom unauthorized disclosures 

were made of all the terms of this Order, (ii) provide such person or persons a copy of this Order, 

and (iii) request such person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to be 

Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A; and (d) within three (3) business days of receiving it, 

provide an executed copy of the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to be Bound” to the 

Designating Party.

11. PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE PROTECTED MATERIAL

11.1. Production of documents or things containing Protected Information which are not 

designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL ATTORNEYS’ EYES 

ONLY” at the time of production shall not be deemed a waiver in whole or in part of a claim for 

privileged or confidential treatment. When a Producing Party gives notice in good faith to the 

Receiving Party that certain produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other 

protection, the Receiving Party must promptly return or destroy the specified information and any 

copies it has; must not use or disclose the information until the claim is resolved; must take 

reasonable steps to retrieve the information if the Party disclosed it before being notified; and

may promptly present the information to the court under seal for a determination of the claim. 

The Producing Party must preserve the information until the claim is resolved. 

11.2. The Receiving Party may keep one copy of the inadvertently produced document for 

the sole purpose of challenging the propriety of the asserted privilege within fifteen (15) business 

days of receiving notice of the inadvertent production provided, however, that any motion or 

other application for such order shall not rely upon in any manner or assert as a ground the fact or 

circumstances of the unintentional or inadvertent production, nor shall it disclose the substance of 

the inadvertently produced material except to the extent that an in camera inspection of the 

materials is requested by the Court. If the challenge is overruled or denied, the document shall be 

returned or destroyed immediately.

This provision is not intended to modify whatever procedure may be established in an ediscovery order that provides for production without prior privilege review. The inadvertent 

production of documents or materials subject to the attorney-client privilege, work-product 

immunity or any other applicable privilege or immunity shall not constitute a waiver of the 

privilege or immunity.

12. MISCELLANEOUS

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

person to seek its modification by written agreement of the parties or by the Court.

12.2. Right to Assert Other Objections. 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 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.

12.3. Export Control. Disclosure of Protected Material shall be subject to all applicable 

laws and regulations relating to the export of technical data contained in such Protected Material, 

including the release of such technical data to foreign persons or nationals in the United States or 

elsewhere. The Producing Party shall be responsible for identifying any such controlled technical 

data, and the Receiving Party shall take measures necessary to ensure compliance.

12.4. Filing Protected Material.

Case No. 19-cv-1482

Any party or person filing with the Court documents that qualify as Protected Material 

under this Protective Order, including all transcripts, pleadings, briefs, and discovery responses 

shall file those documents in a manner that is consistent with the Federal Rules of Civil 

Procedure, Local Rule 141 of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of 

California, the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure, and/or the Ninth Circuit Local Rules, as 

applicable.

12.5. Examination of Non-Party. Non-Parties may be examined or testify concerning 

any document containing Protected Information of a Producing Party which appears on its face or 

from other documents or testimony to have been received from or communicated to the NonParty as a result of any contact or relationship with the Producing Party or a representative of the 

Producing Party. Any person other than the witness, his or her attorney(s), or any person 

qualified to receive Protected Information under this Order shall be excluded from the portion of 

the examination concerning such information, unless the Producing Party consents to persons 

other than qualified recipients being present at the examination. If the witness is represented by 

an attorney who is not qualified under this Order to receive such information, then prior to the 

examination, the Producing Party shall request that the attorney provide a signed statement, in the 

form of Exhibit A hereto, that he or she will comply with the terms of this Order and maintain the 

confidentiality of Protected Information disclosed during the course of the examination. In the 

event that such attorney declines to sign such a statement prior to the examination, the parties, by 

their attorneys, shall jointly seek a protective order from the Court prohibiting the attorney from 

disclosing Protected Information.

12.6. Right To Advise. Nothing herein shall preclude Outside Counsel of Record from 

using Protected Material to consult with, advise or counsel the Party it represents, provided, 

however, that nothing in this section 12.6 shall be construed to permit disclosure of Protected 

Material otherwise prohibited by this Order.

12.7. Privilege Log. No Party shall be required to identify on their respective privilege 

log any document or communication dated on or after October 18, 2019, which absent this 

provision, the Party would have been obligated to so identify on said privilege log, except for

when convenience or necessity requires. Furthermore, without application to this Court, any 

Party that is a beneficiary of the protections of this Order may enter a written agreement releasing 

any other Party hereto from one or more requirements of this Order even if the conduct subject to 

the release would otherwise violate the terms herein.

12.9. The United States District Court for the Eastern District of California is 

responsible for the interpretation and enforcement of this Order. After termination of this 

litigation, the provisions of this Order shall continue to be binding except with respect to those 

documents and information that become a matter of public record. This Court retains and shall 

have continuing jurisdiction over the parties and recipients of the Protected Information for 

enforcement of the provisions of this Order following termination of this litigation. All disputes 

concerning Protected Information produced under the protection of this Order shall be resolved 

by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California.

Material that may exist on any disaster recovery backup system. Any such archival and/or backup 

copies that contain or constitute Protected Material remain subject to this Protective Order as set
