STIPULATION & ORDER REGARDING RELIEF FROM 

PROTECTIVE ORDER FOR APPEAL

- 2 - CASE NO. C-98-20451 JF (EAI)

IT IS THUS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED as follows: 

1. For the purposes of the 2007 appellate briefing only, the parties waive the 

confidentiality requirements of the Protective Order filed in this case on May 29, 

1997, for the limited purpose of enabling the preparation and filing of certain 

documents as set forth herein. 

2. This stipulation applies to documents that are in the Appendix for the 2007 appeal, 

but were not admitted during the January 2007 trial without restriction, including 

all documents that were included in the 2003 appendix, which the parties have 

agreed to include in the present appendix. 

3. Notwithstanding any provision in the Protective Order to the contrary, the parties 

are allowed to review all documents in the Appendix for the 2007 appeal, 

including documents designated as attorneys’ eyes only. Such review shall be 

limited to employees of the parties that need to review the documents for purposes 

related to the appeal. In all other respects, the parties shall continue to treat the 

documents in accordance with the Protective Order. For example, the parties are 

not permitted to publish or disclose any of the opposing party’s confidential 

documents to third parties or to the public in general. 

4. Because the appellate briefing will thus be filed without a confidentiality 

restriction, the parties may review all briefing and the supporting documents that 

are cited in the appellate briefs, regardless of the prior confidentiality designation 

of such documents. As stated above, however, such review shall be limited to 

employees of the parties that need to review the documents for purposes related to 

the appeal. 

5. At the conclusion of this case, all documents governed by the Protective Order will 

be returned or destroyed in accordance with the Protective Order.
