GENERAL RULES

4. Each party to this litigation that produces or discloses any materials, answers to 

interrogatories, responses to requests for admission, trial testimony, deposition testimony, and 

transcripts of trial testimony and depositions, or information that the producing party believes 

should be subject to this Protective Order may designate the same as “CONFIDENTIAL” or 

“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” 

a. Designation as “CONFIDENTIAL”: Any party may designate information 

as “CONFIDENTIAL” only if, in the good faith belief of such party and its counsel, the

or operations of such party. 

b. Designation as “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES 

ONLY”: Any party may designate information as “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – 

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” only if, in the good faith belief of such party and its 

counsel, the information is among that considered to be most sensitive by the party, 

including but not limited to trade secret or other confidential research, development, 

financial or other commercial information. 

5. In the event the producing party elects to produce materials for inspection, no 

marking need be made by the producing party in advance of the initial inspection. For purposes of 

the initial inspection, all materials produced shall be considered as “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL 

– ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” and shall be treated as such pursuant to the terms of this Order. 

Thereafter, upon selection of specified materials for copying by the inspecting party, the 

producing party shall, within a reasonable time prior to producing those materials to the 

inspecting party, mark the copies of those materials that contain Confidential Information with 

the appropriate confidentiality marking. 

6. Whenever a deposition taken on behalf of any party involves a disclosure of 

Confidential Information of any party:

11. All information which has been designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” by the producing or disclosing party, and any 

and all reproductions thereof, shall be retained in the custody of the counsel for the receiving 

party identified in paragraph 3, except that independent experts authorized to view such 

information under the terms of this Order may retain custody of copies such as are necessary for 

their participation in this litigation. 

12. Before any materials produced in discovery, answers to interrogatories, responses 

to requests for admissions, deposition transcripts, or other documents which are designated as 

Confidential Information are filed with the Court for any purpose, the party seeking to file such 

material shall seek permission of the Court to file said material under seal. 

13. At any stage of these proceedings, any party may object to a designation of the 

materials as Confidential Information. The party objecting to confidentiality shall notify, in 

writing, counsel for the designating party of the objected-to materials and the grounds for the 

objection. If the dispute is not resolved consensually between the parties within seven (7) 

business days of receipt of such a notice of objections, the objecting party may move the Court 

for a ruling on the objection. The materials at issue shall be treated as Confidential Information, 

as designated by the designating party, until the Court has ruled on the objection or the matter has 

been otherwise resolved. 

14. All Confidential Information shall be held in confidence by those inspecting or 

receiving it, and shall be used only for purposes of this action. Counsel for each party, and each 

person receiving Confidential Information shall take reasonable precautions to prevent the 

unauthorized or inadvertent disclosure of such information. If Confidential Information is 

disclosed to any person other than a person authorized by this Order, the party responsible for the 

unauthorized disclosure must immediately bring all pertinent facts relating to the unauthorized 

disclosure to the attention of the other parties and, without prejudice to any rights and remedies of 

the other parties, make every effort to prevent further disclosure by the party and by the person(s) 

receiving the unauthorized disclosure.

15. No party shall be responsible to another party for disclosure of Confidential 

Information under this Order if the information in question is not labeled or otherwise identified 

as such in accordance with this Order. 

16. If a party, through inadvertence, produces any Confidential Information without 

labeling or marking or otherwise designating it as such in accordance with this Order, the 

designating party may give written notice to the receiving party that the document or thing 

produced is deemed Confidential Information, and that the document or thing produced should be 

treated as such in accordance with that designation under this Order. The receiving party must 

treat the materials as confidential, once the designating party so notifies the receiving party. If the 

receiving party has disclosed the materials before receiving the designation, the receiving party 

must notify the designating party in writing of each such disclosure. Counsel for the parties shall 

agree on a mutually acceptable manner of labeling or marking the inadvertently produced 

materials as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES 

ONLY” - SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER. 

17. Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of any party to object to the production of 

any discovery material on the grounds that the material is protected as privileged or as attorney 

work product. 

18. Nothing in this Order shall bar counsel from rendering advice to their clients with 

respect to this litigation and, in the course thereof, relying upon any information designated as 

Confidential Information, provided that the contents of the information shall not be disclosed. 

19. This Order shall be without prejudice to the right of any party to oppose 

production of any information for lack of relevance or any other ground other than the mere 

presence of Confidential Information. The existence of this Order shall not be used by either party 

as a basis for discovery that is otherwise improper under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. 

20. Nothing herein shall be construed to prevent disclosure of Confidential 

Information if such disclosure is required by law or by order of the Court. 

21. Upon final termination of this action, including any and all appeals, counsel for 

each party shall, upon request of the producing party, return all Confidential Information to the

shall destroy same at the option of the receiving party, and shall purge all such information from 

all machine-readable media onwhich it resides. Notwithstanding the foregoing, counsel for each 

party may retain all pleadings, briefs, memoranda, motions, and other documents filed with the 

Court that refer to or incorporate Confidential Information, and will continue to be bound by this 

Order with respect to all such retained information. Further, attorney work product materials that 

contain Confidential Information need not be destroyed, but, if they are not destroyed, the person 

in possession of the attorney work product will continue to be bound by this Order with respect to 

all such retained information. 

22. Unless otherwise ordered by the Court, the restrictions and obligations set forth 

herein shall not apply to any information that: (a) the parties agree should not be designated 

Confidential Information; (b) the parties agree, or the Court rules, is already public knowledge; 

(c) the parties agree, or the Court rules, has become public knowledge other than as a result of 

disclosure by the receiving party, its employees, or its agents in violation of this Order; or (d) has 

come or shall come into the receiving party's legitimate knowledge independently of the 

production by the designating party. Prior knowledge must be established by pre-production 

documentation, unless otherwise ordered by the Court. 

23. The restrictions and obligations herein shall not be deemed to prohibit discussions 

of any Confidential Information with anyone if that person already has or obtains legitimate 

possession thereof.
