Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this Stipulated Protective Order does 

not entitle them to file confidential information under seal; Civil Local Rule 79-5 sets forth the 

procedures that must be followed and the standards that will be applied when a party seeks 

permission from the court to file material under seal.

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c). 

2.3 Counsel (without qualifier): Outside Counsel and In-House Counsel (as 

well as their support staff). 

2.4 Designating Party: A Party or Non-Party that designates information or

2.5 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 disclosures

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

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. A 

Designating Party may withdraw a designation of CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY upon written notice to all parties. 

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, 

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” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ 

EYES ONLY” to each page that contains protected material. 

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

inspection need not designate them for protection 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. 

(b) For testimony given in deposition or in other pretrial or trial proceedings, 

that the Designating Party identify on the record, before the close of the deposition, hearing, or

other proceeding, all protected testimony and specify the level of protection being asserted. 

When it is impractical to identify separately each portion of testimony that is entitled to 

protection and it appears that substantial portions of the testimony may qualify for protection, the 

Designating Party may invoke on the record (before the deposition, hearing, or other proceeding 

is concluded) a right to have up to 21 days after a transcript of the testimony is made available to 

identify the specific portions of the testimony as to which protection is sought and to specify the 

level of protection being asserted. Only those portions of the testimony that are appropriately 

designated for protection within the 21 days shall be covered by the provisions of this Stipulated 

Protective Order. Alternatively, a Designating Party may specify, at the deposition or up to 21 

days after a transcript of the testimony is made available, that the entire transcript shall be treated 

as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” 

Parties shall give the other parties notice if they reasonably expect a deposition, 

hearing or other proceeding to include Protected Material so that the other parties can ensure that 

only authorized individuals who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be 

Bound” (Exhibit A) are present at those proceedings. The use of a document as an exhibit at a 

deposition shall not in any way affect its designation as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” 

Transcripts containing Protected Material shall have an obvious legend on the title 

page that the transcript contains Protected Material, and the title page shall be followed by a list 

of all pages (including line numbers as appropriate) that have been designated as Protected 

Material and the level of protection being asserted by the Designating Party. The Designating 

Party shall inform the court reporter of these requirements. Any transcript that is prepared before 

the expiration of a 21-day period for designation shall be treated during that period as if it had 

been designated “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” in its entirety 

unless otherwise agreed. After the expiration of that period, the transcript shall be treated only as 

actually designated. 

(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” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” If only 

a portion or portions of the information or item warrant protection, the Producing Party, to the 

extent practicable, shall identify the protected portion(s) and specify the level of protection being 

asserted. 

5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent 

failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive the 

Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such material. Upon timely 

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

material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this Order. 

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. A Party that elects to initiate a challenge to a 

confidentiality designation or level of protection to be afforded to Protected Material shall meet 

and confer with the Designating Party in good faith. In conferring, the challenging party must 

explain the basis for its belief that the confidentiality designation was not proper and must give 

the Designating Party an opportunity 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 only if 

it has engaged in this meet and confer process first. 

6.3 Judicial Intervention. A Party that elects to press a challenge to a 

confidentiality designation or level of protection to be afforded to Protected Material, after 

considering the justification offered by the Designating Party, may file and serve a motion under 

(in voice-to-voice dialogue; other forms of communication are not sufficient)

Civil Local Rule 7 (and in compliance with Civil Local Rule 79-5, if applicable) that identifies 

the challenged material and sets forth in detail the basis for the challenge. Each such motion 

must be accompanied by a competent declaration that affirms that the movant has complied with 

the meet and confer requirements imposed in the preceding paragraph and that sets forth with 

specificity the justification for the confidentiality designation that was given by the Designating 

Party in the meet and confer dialogue. The burden of proof and of persuasion in any such 

challenge proceeding shall be on the Designating Party. Until the Court rules on the challenge, 

all Parties shall continue to afford the information, document, electronically-stored information, 

or thing, or portion thereof, with the level of protection designated by the Designating Party. 

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 in connection with this case only for 

prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this litigation. Such Protected Material may be 

disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the conditions described in this Order. 

When the litigation has been terminated, a Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of 

section 13 below (FINAL DISPOSITION). 

Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a 

location and in a secure manner1 that ensures that access is limited to the persons authorized 

under this Order. 

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) Named plaintiffs and defendants who have signed the "Acknowledgment 

and Agreement to Be Bound" (Exhibit A); 

(b) The Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel in this action, as well as 

 

1

 It may be appropriate under certain circumstances to require the Receiving Party to store any 

electronic Protected Material in password-protected form.

reasonably necessary and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” 

(Exhibit A), unless otherwise agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the court. Pages of 

transcribed deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material must be 

separately bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone except as permitted 

under this Stipulated Protective Order. 

(h) The author or recipient of a document containing the information or a 

custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information. 

7.3 Disclosure of “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES

(a) The Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel in this action, as well as 

employees of said Outside Counsel, to whom it is reasonably necessary to disclose the 

information for this litigation;

(f) The author or recipient of a document containing the information or a 

custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information. 

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 and in no event more 

than 7 court days after receiving the subpoena or order. 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 Stipulated 

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.2 

 

2

 The purpose of imposing these duties is to alert the interested parties to the existence of this 

Protective Order and to afford the Designating Party in this case an opportunity to try to protect 

its confidentiality interests in the court from which the subpoena or order issued.

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. 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. 

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 NonParty 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) 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 Stipulated 

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. 

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

within 14 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.3 Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall 

bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in this court of its 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 Stipulated 

Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in writing the Designating 

Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts to retrieve all unauthorized copies, 

abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other form of reproducing or capturing any of the 

Protected Material, (c) inform the person or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were 

made of all the terms of this Order, and (d) request such person or persons to execute the 

“Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A. 

11. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE 

PROTECTED MATERIAL

The inadvertent production of any privileged material including, but not limited 

to, the attorney-client privilege and/or work-product doctrine, shall not be deemed a waiver or 

impairment of any claim of privilege with respect to that Disclosure or Discovery Material, or 

otherwise. 

Upon receiving notice from a Producing Party that Disclosure or Discovery 

Material subject to any privilege was inadvertently produced, the Receiving Party shall return the 

Disclosure or Discovery Material, including any and all copies, abstracts, compilations,

Discovery Material within their possession, custody, or control, to the Producing Party within 30 

days. 

Any Receiving Party who believes that they have inadvertently received 

Disclosure or Discovery Material protected by the attorney-client privilege and/or work-product 

doctrine from a Producing Party, shall not read or review the Disclosure or Discovery Material 

beyond what is necessary to determine that the Disclosure or Discovery Material is privileged, 

and shall immediately notify the Producing Party and return the Disclosure or Discovery 

Material, including any and all copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other form of 

reproducing or capturing any of the privileged Disclosure or Discovery Material within their 

possession, custody, or control, to the Producing Party within 30 days. 

12. MISCELLANEOUS 

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

person to seek its modification by the court in the future. 

12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this 

Protective Order no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to disclosing or

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 Filing Protected Material. Without written permission from the 

Designating Party or a court order secured after appropriate notice to all interested persons, a 

Party may not file in the public record in this action any Protected Material. A Party that seeks 

to file under seal any Protected Material must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5. 

13. FINAL DISPOSITION

Unless otherwise ordered or agreed in writing by the Producing Party, upon 

written request to the Receiving Party within 60 days after the final termination of this action, the 

Receiving Party must return all Protected Material to the Producing Party. The Receiving Party 

shall then have 60 days to return the Protected Material. As used in this subdivision, “all
