STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

Case No. 2:06-CV-2435 RRB (DAD)

inquiry into Information subject to the designation CONFIDENTIAL, or (b) an attorney of record for 

a party asserts that an answer to a specific inquiry is subject to such designation, the attorney may 

make such inquiry only in the presence of those persons authorized to have access to such 

Information. Further, the attorney may direct that the question and answer be transcribed 

separately from the remainder of the deposition and designate the separately transcribed transcript

CONFIDENTIAL. When counsel gives such an order, the designated testimony shall be sealed, and 

the parties hereto will treat it subject to the provisions for disclosure set forth herein. 

7. Transcripts. At either party’s request, all testimony elicited during depositions, 

hearings, and other proceedings will be deemed CONFIDENTIAL for a period of ten (10) days 

following receipt of the transcript by all counsel who requested a copy thereof. Within the tenday waiting period, any party may, by written notice served on all parties, designate all or any 

portion of the testimony as CONFIDENTIAL. At the end of the ten-day waiting period, only those 

portions of the transcript that are designated as CONFIDENTIAL shall be treated as such. Upon 

being informed that certain portions of a transcript are designated as CONFIDENTIAL, each party 

must cause each copy in their custody, possession or control to be so marked in accordance with 

Paragraph 2 of this Order. This paragraph will not otherwise affect the deposition, hearing or 

other proceeding that is being recorded while it is in session. Likewise, this paragraph will not 

affect the right of opposing parties to be present during those portions of any deposition, hearing 

or other proceeding that do not involve the disclosure of Information designated as 

CONFIDENTIAL. 

8. Filing Procedure. No Information which is designated as CONFIDENTIAL, 

including any pleading or memorandum purporting to reproduce or paraphrase such Information, 

will be filed with the Court unless it is filed under seal in accordance with the Civil Local Rules 

for the Eastern District of California, including Rules 39-140 and 39-141. To comply with this 

requirement, CONFIDENTIAL Information must be filed in sealed containers labeled with (a) the 

title of this action, (b) the general nature of the contents; (c) the word CONFIDENTIAL; and (d) a 

statement substantially in the following form:

766654 v1/PA 5. 

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

Case No. 2:06-CV-2435 RRB (DAD)

CONFIDENTIAL - SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER. This sealed container filed 

in this case, Calkins v. Playboy Enterprises, Inc., Case No. 2:06-CV-2435 RRB 

(DAD), contains confidential materials generally identified as __________. 

Pursuant to the parties’ stipulated Protective Order, the container shall not be 

opened nor the contents thereof revealed except to the Court. After any such 

opening or revelation, the container shall be resealed with the contents inside. 

This restriction is subject to an order of the Court. 

9. Trial Procedure. Should an attorney of record for any party desire to use 

Information designated as CONFIDENTIAL, or any summary thereof or excerpt therefrom, during 

the trial of or at any hearing in this action, counsel must, prior to such use, bring the 

confidentiality thereof to the attention of the Court and the party which designated the 

Information. Counsel for the producing party may request that any portion of the transcript or 

exhibit containing such Information be filed under seal with the Court in accordance with Civil 

Local Rules 39-140 and 39-141, and be accorded protection as provided by the terms of this 

Order. All persons present at the time of such use must be directed to treat such Information as 

Confidential Information, and counsel for the parties will exercise all reasonable care not to 

disclose such materials needlessly in the public record of this proceeding nor to persons not 

entitled under this Order to receive such Information.

10. Disputes About Designations. If, subsequent to a party’s acceptance of 

Information designated as CONFIDENTIAL, it appears to such accepting party that any Information 

so designated is not of a nature warranting the protection afforded hereunder, such accepting 

party may bring a noticed motion to be relieved entirely or in part from the provisions of this 

Order. Until a determination by the Court as to the propriety of the designation, the Information 

shall be treated in accordance with its designation.

11. Scope of Order. The designation by counsel for the disclosing party of any 

Information as constituting or containing Confidential Information is intended solely to facilitate 

the preparation and trial of this case, and such designation shall not be construed in any way as an 

admission or agreement by any party that the designated Information is admissible in evidence. 

Furthermore, the existence of this Order shall not be used to require any party to produce any 

Information. Any party seeking disclosure of any Information shall retain whatever burden it has 

under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure for production or disclosure.

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

Case No. 2:06-CV-2435 RRB (DAD)

12. Subpoena of Confidential Information. Whenever a party to this action, or any 

signatory to the attached Certification, is requested by one not already subject to this Order, 

pursuant to subpoena, request for production of documents, or other lawful process or request 

(“request”), to produce or disclose any Information designated under this Order as 

CONFIDENTIAL, that party or signatory shall, as soon as is reasonably practicable, but no later than 

five (5) days after service of that request, notify the designating party’s attorney of record and 

provide such attorney with a copy of the request. If the designating party objects to the 

production, the Information shall not be produced except pursuant to a court order (or other order 

which subjects the party to penalties for noncompliance) requiring compliance with the request.

13. Disposal of Confidential Information. Within sixty (60) days of the final 

disposition of this action, whether by judgment (including exhaustion of all appeals), settlement 

or otherwise, each attorney of record will either (a) promptly return to the party or witness from 

whom obtained, all Information which has been marked CONFIDENTIAL and all copies made 

thereof, or (b) destroy all such Information, as counsel for the disclosing party directs. However, 

each attorney of record may retain any work product containing Confidential Information and one 

record copy of any items filed with the Court upon notice to the other attorneys of record of such 

retention and subject to the terms of this Order.

14. Amendment. This Order may be amended by written stipulation of the parties 

filed with and approved by the Court.

15. Termination. The provisions of this Order will continue in effect until otherwise 

ordered by the Court after notice and an opportunity to be heard is afforded to all parties. The 

final determination or settlement of this action does not relieve any person who has received 

Information designated as CONFIDENTIAL or agreed to be bound by the terms of this Protective 

Order of their obligations hereunder. This Court will retain jurisdiction after such final 

determination or settlement to enforce the provisions of this Order and to make such 

modifications, and additions to this Order as the Court deems appropriate.
