1. As used in this order, the term “Protected Information” means information disclosed

or produced, in any form, by Defendants C&R Vanderham Dairy, Rick Vanderham, and Corrie

Vanderham (hereafter “Vanderham”) pursuant to Plaintiff’s Interrogatories Nos. 5 and 7 and

Requests for Production Nos. 6, 17, 18, 20, and 22 (collectively “Discovery Requests”) that

Vanderham designates as such in the manner specified below. Protected Information includes all

copies and reproductions made of such information disclosed pursuant to Plaintiff’s Discovery

Requests in whole or in part, and all notes, summaries, abstracts, or other memoranda prepared

therefrom. 

2. Vanderham shall designate information which it wishes to be Protected Information

by stamping or labeling the information “Confidential” or “Proprietary” or by designating the

documents as “Confidential” in writing (e.g., by making a written designation that documents

bearing certain Bates numbers are “Confidential”). If Protected Information is disclosed orally

rather than in documentary form, the information may be designated verbally as “Confidential”

or “Proprietary.” Vanderham shall not designate any information as Protected Information

except to the extent that it has conducted a good faith review to determine that such information

really is and should be treated as proprietary or confidential commercial information.

3. Protected Information shall not be disclosed or used by Plaintiff Association of

Irritated Residents (“AIR”), members of AIR, or by anyone acting on AIR’s behalf except for

purposes of litigation of this action, including settlement negotiations, pretrial proceedings,

preparation for trial, trial, and any appeal. 

4. Protected Information shall be produced by Vanderham to the attorneys for AIR. 

AIR’s attorneys may make such copies of all or part of Protected Information as they deem

necessary for purposes of this action. Any such copies shall be protected in the same manner as

the originals.

5. AIR’s attorneys may disclose Protected Information only as follows:

a. AIR’s attorneys may disclose Protected Information to their staff,

including legal interns, working with them for purposes of these

proceedings, all of whom are bound by this order without signing a copy

of it;

b. AIR’s attorneys may disclose Protected Information to such persons with

whom they consult, or whom they retain, for purposes of preparation for

trial, trial proceedings, any other proceedings in this action (including

settlements), or any appeal, but only if, prior to such disclosure, the person

to whom the Protected Information is disclosed signs an agreement to be

bound by this order; and 

c. AIR’s attorneys may disclose Protected Information to any person being

deposed by AIR’s attorneys, provided that the portions of the transcript

(including exhibits) containing Protected Information are protected in

accordance with this order, and provided further that prior to such

disclosure the deposition reporter, the deponent, and any other persons

present other than the parties’ attorneys sign an agreement to be bound by

this order or agree on the record of the deposition to be bound by this

order. If the deponent discloses Protected Information during the

deposition, the deponent must identify such information as protected and

that information shall be protected in accordance with this order.

6. Any party may file with this Court such documents containing Protected Information

as the party deems necessary.

7. Attorneys for AIR shall make no disclosures of Protected Information not expressly

permitted by this order without the prior written consent of Vanderham’s attorneys. If AIR’s

attorneys are unable to obtain such consent, AIR may move the Court for an order permitting

such additional disclosure, provided that Vanderham’s attorneys are given at least 5 business

days written notice of the motion to permit Vanderham’s attorneys to object. If Vanderham’s

attorneys file written objections, disclosure shall not be made unless the Court overrules the

objections. 

8. Within 60 days after the conclusion of this action, the attorneys for AIR shall (a)

obtain all Protected Information, including notes of orally disclosed protected information, from
