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 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 FRCP 26(c) and any other 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.

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,

Producing Party.

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

Material in this action.

their support staffs). 

2.12 Expert: a person with specialized knowledge or experience in a matter 

pertinent to the litigation who has been retained by a Party or its counsel to serve as an expert

3. SCOPE

defined above), but also any information copied or extracted therefrom, as well as all copies, 

excerpts, summaries, or compilations thereof, plus testimony, conversations, 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. 

The court shall retain jurisdiction to enforce the terms of this Stipulated 

Protective Order for six months following final disposition. FRCP 26(c). A Designating Party must make a good faith determination

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. 

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 deposition or in other pretrial or trial 

proceedings, that the Party or non-party offering or sponsoring the testimony identify on the record, 

before the close of the deposition, hearing, or other proceeding, all protected testimony, and further 

specify any portions of 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 Party or non-party that sponsors, offers, or gives the testimony may invoke on the 

record (before the deposition or proceeding is concluded) a right to have up to 20 days to identify 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 Party or non-party offering 

or sponsoring the witness or presenting the testimony. 

(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 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. 

7.2 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) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of record in this action, as well 

as employees of said Counsel to whom it is reasonably necessary to disclose the information for this 

litigation and who have signed the “Agreement to Be Bound by Protective Order” that is attached 

hereto as Exhibit A; 

(b) the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel) of 

the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have 

signed the “Agreement to Be Bound by Protective Order” (Exhibit A); 

(c) experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom 

disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the “Agreement to Be

7.3 Disclosure of “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” 

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 “HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” only to:

(b) Experts (as defined in this Order) (1) to whom disclosure is reasonably 

necessary for this litigation, (2) who have signed the “Agreement to Be Bound by Protective Order” 

(Exhibit A), and (3) as to whom the procedures set forth in paragraph 7.4, below, have been 

followed;

7.4 Procedures for Approving Disclosure of “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL –

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” Information or Items to “Experts”

(a) Unless otherwise ordered by the court or agreed in writing by the 

Designating Party, a Party that seeks to disclose to an “Expert” (as defined in this Order) any 

information or item that has been designated “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES 

ONLY” first must make a written request to the Designating Party that (1) identifies the specific 

HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL information that the Receiving Party seeks permission to disclose to the 

Expert, (2) sets forth the full name of the Expert and the city and state of his or her primary

residence, (3) attaches a copy of the Expert’s current resume, (4) identifies the Expert’s current 

employer(s), (5) identifies each person or entity from whom the Expert has received compensation 

for work in his or her areas of expertise or to whom the expert has provided professional services at 

any time during the preceding five years, and (6) identifies (by name and number of the case, filing 

date, and location of court) any litigation in connection with which the Expert has provided any 

professional services during the preceding five years. 

(b) A Party that makes a request and provides the information specified in 

the preceding paragraph may disclose the subject Protected Material to the identified Expert unless,

within seven court days of delivering the request, the Party receives a written objection from the 

Designating Party. Any such objection must set forth in detail the grounds on which it is based. 

(c) A Party that receives a timely written objection must meet and confer 

with the Designating Party (through direct voice to voice dialogue) to try to resolve the matter by 

agreement. If no agreement is reached, the Party seeking to make the disclosure to the Expert may

file a motion as provided in Civil Local Rule 7 (and in compliance with Civil Local Rule 79-5, if 

applicable) seeking permission from the court to do so. Any such motion must describe the 

circumstances with specificity, set forth in detail the reasons for which the disclosure to the Expert is 

reasonably necessary, assess the risk of harm that the disclosure would entail and suggest any

additional means that might be used to reduce that risk. In addition, any such motion must be 

accompanied by a competent declaration in which the movant describes the parties’ efforts to resolve 

the matter by agreement (i.e., the extent and the content of the meet and confer discussions) and sets

forth the reasons advanced by the Designating Party for its refusal to approve the disclosure. In any 

such proceeding the Party opposing disclosure to the Expert shall bear the burden of proving that the 

risk of harm that the disclosure would entail (under the safeguards proposed) outweighs the 

Receiving Party’s need to disclose the Protected Material to its Expert. 

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. 

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, the 

Receiving Party may destroy some or all of the Protected Material instead of returning it. Whether 

the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the Receiving Party must submit a written
