STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 

1. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS 

Disclosure and discovery activity in this action are likely to involve production of 

confidential, proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public 

disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation would be 

warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the court to enter the 

following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this Order does not confer

PA/52167006.1 

blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to discovery and that the protection it affords 

extends only to the limited information or items that are entitled under the applicable legal 

principles to treatment as confidential. The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 

10, below, that this Stipulated Protective Order creates no entitlement to file confidential 

information under seal; Civil Local Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be followed 

and reflects the standards that will be applied when a party seeks permission from the court to 

file material under seal. 

2. DEFINITIONS 

2.1. Party: any party to this action, including all of its officers, 

directors, employees, consultants, retained experts, and outside counsel (and their support 

staff). 

2.2. Disclosure or Discovery Material: all items or information, 

regardless of the medium or manner generated, stored, or maintained (including, among 

other things, testimony, transcripts, or tangible things) that are produced or generated in 

disclosures or responses to discovery in this matter. 

2.3. “Confidential” Information or Items: information (regardless of 

how generated, stored or maintained) or tangible things that qualify for protection under 

standards developed under F.R.Civ.P. 26(c). 

2.4. “Highly Confidential — Attorneys’ Eyes Only” Information or 

Items: extremely sensitive “Confidential Information or Items” whose disclosure to 

another Party or nonparty would create a substantial risk of serious injury that could not be 

avoided by less restrictive means. 

2.5. Receiving Party: a Party that receives Disclosure or Discovery 

Material from a Producing Party. 

2.6. Producing Party: a Party or non-party that produces Disclosure or 

Discovery Material in this action.

includes a professional jury or trial consultant retained in connection with this litigation. 

2.13. Professional Vendors: persons or entities that provide litigation 

support services (e.g., photocopying; videotaping; translating; preparing exhibits or

presentations by parties or counsel to or in court or in other settings that might reveal Protected 

Material. 

4. DURATION 

Even after the termination of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations 

imposed by this Order shall remain in effect until a Designating Party agrees otherwise in writing 

or a court order otherwise directs. 

5. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL 

5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection. 

Each Party or non-party that designates information or items for protection under this Order must 

take care to limit any such designation to specific material that qualifies under the appropriate 

standards. A Designating Party must take care to 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. 

Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations that 

are shown to be clearly unjustified, or that have been made for an improper purpose (e.g., to 

unnecessarily encumber or retard the case development process, or to impose unnecessary 

expenses and burdens on other parties), expose the Designating Party to sanctions. 

If it comes to a Party’s or a non-party’s attention that information or items that it 

designated for protection do not qualify for protection at all, or do not qualify for the level of 

protection initially asserted, that Party or non-party must promptly notify all other parties that it 

is withdrawing the mistaken designation. 

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, material that qualifies for protection under this Order must be clearly so designated 

before the material is disclosed or produced.

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER – CASE NO. 05-00829 (JW) 

PA/52167006.1 

Designation in conformity with this Order requires: 

(a) for information in documentary form (apart from transcripts of 

depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that the Producing Party affix the legend 

“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL — ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” at the 

top of each page that contains protected material. If only a portion or portions of the material on 

a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected 

portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins) and must specify, for each 

portion, the level of protection being asserted (either “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL — ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”). 

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”) at the 

top of each page that contains Protected Material. If only a portion or portions of the material on 

a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected 

portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins) and must specify, for each 

portion, the level of protection being asserted (either “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL — ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”). 

(b) for testimony given in pretrial or trial proceedings other than 

depositions, that the Producing Party or Designating Party identify on the record, before the close 

of the, hearing, or other proceeding, all protected testimony, and further specify any portions of

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER – CASE NO. 05-00829 (JW) 

PA/52167006.1 

the testimony that qualify as “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL — ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” 

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

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

protection, the Producing Party or Designating Party may invoke on the record (before the 

deposition or proceeding is concluded) a right to have up to 20 days to notify all other parties in 

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

the level of protection being asserted (“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL — 

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”). Only those portions of the testimony that are appropriately 

designated for protection within the 20 days shall be covered by the provisions of this Stipulated 

Protective Order. 

Transcript pages containing Protected Material must be separately bound 

by the court reporter, who must affix to the top of each such page the legend 

“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL — ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” as 

instructed by the Producing or Designating Party. 

(c) For testimony given in any deposition taken in this Action, where a 

Designating Party desires to designate such deposition testimony as Confidential Information, 

the deposition testimony shall be initially designated as Confidential Information by oral 

designation on the record. The Designating Party shall then have three (3) business days from 

receipt of the court reporter’s “rough draft” of the deposition transcript in which to de-designate 

the deposition testimony, or portions of the deposition testimony, where such testimony is not 

appropriate for designation as Confidential Information. 

Transcript pages containing Protected Material must be separately bound 

by the court reporter, who must affix to the top of each such page the legend 

“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL — ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” as 

instructed by the Designating Party. 

(d) 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 

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

practicable, shall identify the protected portions, specifying whether they qualify as 

“Confidential” or as “Highly Confidential — Attorneys’ Eyes Only.” 

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

failure to designate qualified information or items as “Confidential” or “Highly Confidential — 

Attorneys’ Eyes Only” does not, standing alone, waive the Designating Party’s right to secure 

protection under this Order for such material. If material is appropriately designated as 

“Confidential” or “Highly Confidential — Attorneys’ Eyes Only” after the material was initially 

produced, the Receiving Party, on timely notification of the designation, 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. Unless a prompt challenge to a Designating 

Party’s confidentiality designation is necessary to avoid foreseeable substantial unfairness, 

unnecessary economic burdens, or a later 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 

Designating Party’s confidentiality designation must do so in good faith and must begin the 

process by conferring directly (in voice to voice dialogue; other forms of communication are not 

sufficient) with counsel for the Designating Party. 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 after considering the justification offered by the Designating Party 

may file and serve a motion under 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 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 

material in question the level of protection to which it is entitled under the Producing Party’s 

designation. 

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 11, below (FINAL DISPOSITION). 

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

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

under this Order.

7.3. Disclosure of “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL — ATTORNEYS’ 

EYES ONLY” Information or Items. Unless otherwise ordered by the court or

ONLY” only to:

8. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED 

PRODUCED IN OTHER LITIGATION 

If a Receiving Party is served with a subpoena or an order issued in other 

litigation that would compel disclosure of any information or items designated in this action as 

“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL — ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” the 

Receiving Party must so notify the Designating Party, in writing (by fax, if possible) 

immediately and in no event more than three court days after receiving the subpoena or order. 

Such notification must include a copy of the subpoena or court order. 

The Receiving Party also must immediately inform in writing the Party who 

caused the subpoena or order to issue in the other litigation that some or all the material covered 

by the subpoena or order is the subject of this Protective Order. In addition, the Receiving Party 

must deliver a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order promptly to the Party in the other action 

that caused the subpoena or order to issue. 

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. 

The Designating Party shall bear the burdens and the expenses 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. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF 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 copies 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. 

10. 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. However, a Party may lodge (deliver) Protected Material 

with the Court, without filing the Protected Material, provided the LODGED Protected material 

is properly identified and marked as ” CONFIDENTIAL” OR “ATTORNEYS EYES ONLY 

CONFIDENTIAL” 

11. FINAL DISPOSITION

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

sixty days after the final termination of this action, each Receiving Party must return all 

Protected Material to the Producing Party. As used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” 

includes all copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other form of reproducing or 

capturing any of the Protected Material. With permission in writing from the Designating Party,
