IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS 

WESTERN DIVISION 

JENNIFER E. WILCOX PLAINTIFF 

V. CASE NO. 4:14-CV-00593-JLH 

OZARK HEALTH MEDICAL CENTER, INC. DEFENDANT 

AGREED PROTECTIVE ORDER 

The parties to this case, through their respective counsel, agree to protect the 

confidentiality of certain information and documents which may be discovered or 

offered into evidence at the trial of this case . The parties agree that the 

confidentiality of such information and documents shall be preserved under the 

terms of this Protective Order as stated herein: 

1. Any party or person/entity other than a party being asked to produce 

documents or information considered by that party or person to be confidential may 

designate it as confidential when such person in good faith believes it contains 

sensitive personal information, confidential, non-public or other proprietary 

information. 

2. All documents produced under this Order designated as confidential 

and the information contained therein shall be used only for the purpose of the 

prosecution, defense, or settlement of this action and for no other purpose. Any 

financial or other sensitive or confidential information may be redacted from 

documents produced under the terms of this Order.

3. Confidential documents shall be so designated by stamping copies of 

the documents produced with the legend "CONFIDENTIAL" or "CONFIDENTIAL 

SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER" or similar language to identify the 

documents as being subject to this Order. The designation on the cover of any 

multi-page documents shall designate all pages of the document as confidential 

unless otherwise noted. 

4. Confidential material pursuant to this Order may be disclosed or made 

available to the Court, to counsel for a party (including the paralegal, clerical and 

secretarial staff employed by such counsel), and, to the "qualified" persons 

designated below: 

(a) Experts or consultants (together with their clerical staff) 

retained by such counsel to assist in the prosecution, defense or 

settlement of this action; 

(b) Court reporters employed in this action; 

(c) To a witness at a deposition or other proceeding in this action 

with the express understanding that any portions of that 

testimony describing or otherwise addressing Confidential 

information will be maintained as Confidential as well; and 

(d) Any other person to whom the parties, in writing, agree or as 

directed by the Court by specific order. 

5. The inadvertent production, without designation as confidential, of 

information or a document intended to be designated or that should have been 

designated as being confidential shall not waive the right to so designate such

document or information. Any information or documentation that is inadvertently 

not designated as being confidential when produced shall be, upon written request 

of the producing party, thereafter treated as being designated as confidential under 

this Protective Order. 

6. This Order is entered solely for the purpose of expediting and 

facilitating the exchange of documents and information between the parties in this 

action without additional involvement by the Court unnecessarily in this process. 

· Nothing in this Order or the production of any information or document under the 

terms of this Order or any proceedings pursuant to this Order shall be deemed of 

the effect of an admission or waiver by either party or of allowing the confidentiality 

or non ·confidentiality of any such document or information or altering any 

obligation of any party in the absence thereof. 

7. A party who wishes to challenge the "CONFIDENTIAL" designation 

made by the producing party of any materials must first attempt in good faith to 

confer with lawyers for the producing party in an effort to resolve the issue 

amicably. If agreement cannot be reached, the challenging party may file a motion 

asking the Court to remove the designation. The motion should describe with 

specificity the particular materials for which the designation is being challenged 

and set forth with specificity the particular materials that are not properly 

designated as "CONFIDENTIAL." Materials designated as "CONFIDENTIAL" will 

continue to be treated as such and subject to the provisions of this Protective Order 

pending determination by the Court of the merits of any such challenge.

8. No lawyer for a party may comment in the presence of the jury on the 

reasons or motivation for designating materials as "CONFIDENTIAL" without first 

having obtained permission from the Court to do so. 

9. This Order shall survive the final termination of this action to the 

extent that the Court does not lift or otherwise limit the application of this Order. 

Upon termination of this case, counsel in possession of CONFIDENTIAL materials 

shall ensure their continued confidentiality unless and until those documents are
