I. 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 

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. 

II. DEFINITIONS 

A. Party: Any party to this action, including all of its officers, directors, 

employees, consultants, retained experts, and outside counsel (and their support staff).

B. 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. 

C. “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). 

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

Items: Extremely sensitive “Confidential Information or Items” whose disclosure to another 

Party or non-party would create a substantial risk of serious injury that could not be avoided 

by less restrictive means. 

E. Receiving Party: A Party that receives Disclosure or Discovery

Material from a Producing Party. 

F. Producing Party: A Party or non-party that produces Disclosure or 

Discovery Material in this action. 

G. Designating Party: A Party or non-party that designates information or 

items that it produces in disclosures or in responses to discovery as “Confidential” or “Highly 

Confidential — Attorneys’ Eyes Only.” 

H. Protected Material: Any Disclosure or Discovery Material that is 

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

I. Outside Counsel: Attorneys who are not employees of a Party but 

who are retained to represent or advise a Party in this action. 

J. House Counsel: Attorneys who are employees of a Party. 

K. Counsel (without qualifier): Outside Counsel and House Counsel (as 

well as their support staffs). 

L. 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 witness or as a consultant in this action and who is not a past or current employee of 

a Party or of a competitor of a Party’s and who, at the time of retention, is not anticipated to 

become an employee of a Party or a competitor of a Party’s. This definition includes a 

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

M. Professional Vendors: Persons or entities that provide litigation 

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

demonstrations; organizing, storing, retrieving data in any form or medium; etc.) and their 

employees and subcontractors. 

 III. SCOPE 

The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only Protected 

Material (as 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. 

 IV. 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. 

V. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL 

A. 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 Designated 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. 

B. 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: 

1. 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”). 

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

failure to designated 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. 

VI. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS 

A. 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. 

B. 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. 

C. 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 for the 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. 

VI. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 

A. 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. 

B. 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: 

1. 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; 

2. 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); 

3. 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 Bound by Protective Order” (Exhibit A);

6. During their depositions, witnesses in the action to whom 

disclosure is reasonably necessary and who have signed the “Agreement to Be Bound by 

Protective Order” (Exhibit A). 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. 

7. The author of the document or the original source of the 

information. 

C. 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: 

1. 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

information. 

D. Procedures for Approving Disclosure of “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL 

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

1. 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. 

2. 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. 

3. 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 is 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 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. 

VIII. 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 Designated Party shall bear the burdens and 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. 

IX. 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. 

X. 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. 

XI. 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 certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the same person or 

entity, to the Designating Party) by the sixty day deadline that identifies (by category, where 

appropriate) all the Protected Material that was returned or destroyed and that affirms that

the Receiving Party has not retained any copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or 

other forms of reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this 

provision, Counsel are entitled to retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, 

transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence or attorney work product, even if such 

materials contain Protected Material. Any such archival copies that contain or constitute 

Protected Material remain subject to this Protective Order as set forth in Section 4 

(DURATION), above. 

XII. MISCELLANEOUS 

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

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

B. 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 

producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in this Stipulated Protective 

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.
