[PROPOSED] ORDER REGARDING DEFENDANTS’ MOTION FOR AN ORDER UPHOLDING THEIR 

CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS UNDER THE PROTECTIVE ORDER 

CASE NO. C 06-2584 CRB (EDL) 398282.01 

Defendants Gap International Sales, Inc., The Gap, Inc., Banana Republic, LLC, and Old 

Navy, LLC (collectively “Gap”) brought a motion for an order upholding their confidentiality 

designations under the parties’ stipulated protective order, which came on for hearing on June 

26, 2007. The motion is GRANTED IN PART and DENIED IN PART, subject to the following 

provisions and the Court’s statements on the record during the hearing. In particular, at the 

hearing, the Court ordered the parties to meet and confer and develop a protocol for resolving 

their dispute relating to whether Gap’s confidentiality designations are proper, subject to certain 

guidelines set by the Court during the hearing. 

The guiding principles ordered by the Court in relation to confidentiality designations are 

as follows: 

1. Stale information shall not be designated confidential; 

2. Photographs of public places are not confidential unless they reflect non-stale 

proprietary or trade secret information; 

3. Compilations of purely public information are not confidential; and 

4. Gap may apply confidentiality designations at the document level, unless Gabana 

identifies a particular need to have a portion(s) of a document de-designated. 

The parties have agreed that the protocol for conducting the meeting and conferring 

relating to those documents designated by Gap as highly confidential or confidential and which 

were the subject of this motion is as follows: 

1. Gabana will first identify to Gap by letter the highly confidential documents as to 

which Gabana challenges the highly confidential designation. Within ten days of receipt of the 

letter, the parties will schedule an in-person meeting to attempt to resolve informally the dispute 

with respect to these documents. If there are any remaining disagreements following said 

meeting, the parties will agree on a briefing schedule to raise these remaining issues with the 

Court. 

2. Following completion of the above process with respect to highly confidential 

documents, the parties will meet and confer regarding Gap’s confidentiality designations, but

[PROPOSED] ORDER REGARDING DEFENDANTS’ MOTION FOR AN ORDER UPHOLDING THEIR 

CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS UNDER THE PROTECTIVE ORDER 

CASE NO. C 06-2584 CRB (EDL) 398282.01 

only with respect to documents predating 2005 and constituting or mentioning communications 

with Gabana, Roots, Al Turki, RSH or Solka. The parties will schedule an in-person meeting to 

seek to resolve informally any disputes concerning these identified documents. If there are any 

remaining disagreements following said meeting, the parties will agree on a briefing schedule to 

raise these remaining issues with the Court. 

3. The parties will not bring any matter to the Court pursuant to the above paragraphs 

without having a final telephone call where the party wishing to submit the matter to the Court 

attempts one last meet and confer and then informs the other party that the meeting and 

conferring is complete. 

4. Pending resolution of the above meet-and-confer efforts, and any subsequent motion 

practice, the documents Gap designated as “Confidential” and “Highly Confidential” shall be 

treated as such under the parties’ stipulated protective order of November 28, 2006. 

5. Gap shall have seven (7) days from the entry of this order to identify those documents 

that are the subject of Gabana’s Miscellaneous Administrative Request to File Documents Under 

Seal (docket no. 94), concerning exhibits V, W, X, BB, DD, EE, II, and KK—NN to the 

Declaration of G. Steven Fender, for which Gap wishes to withdraw its confidentiality 

designation.
