GENERAL RULES

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

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 “Confidential – For Counsel 

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 

unrestricted disclosure of such information could be potentially prejudicial to the 

business or operations of such party.

b. Designation as “Confidential – For Counsel Only”: Any party may 

designate information as “Confidential – For Counsel Only” only if, in the good faith 

belief of such party and its counsel, the information is among that considered to be 

the 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 will be 

considered as “Confidential – For Counsel Only,” and must 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 must, 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:

a. the deposition or portions of the deposition must be designated as 

Case 3:17-cv-00535-CAB-JLB Document 40 Filed 06/26/17 PageID.<pageID> Page 3 of 13

containing Confidential Information subject to the provisions of this 

Order; such designation must be made on the record whenever possible; 

but a party may designate portions of depositions as containing 

Confidential Information after transcription of the proceedings: [A] 

party will have until fourteen (14) days after receipt of the deposition 

transcript to inform the other party or parties to the action of the portions 

of the transcript to be designated “Confidential” or “Confidential – For 

Counsel Only.”

b. the disclosing party will have the right to exclude from the attendance 

at the deposition, during such time as the Confidential Information is to 

be disclosed, any person other than the deponent, counsel (including 

their staff and associates), the court reporter, and the person(s) agreed 

upon pursuant to Paragraph 10 below; and 

c. the originals of the deposition transcripts and all copies of the deposition 

must bear the legend “Confidential” or “Confidential – For Counsel 

Only,” as appropriate, and the original or any copy ultimately presented 

to a court for filing must not be filed unless it can be accomplished under 

seal, identified as being subject to this Order, and protected from being 

opened except by order of this Court.

7. All Confidential Information designated as “Confidential” or 

“Confidential – For Counsel Only” must not be disclosed by the receiving party to 

anyone other than those persons designated within this order and must be handled in 

the manner set forth below and, in any event, must not be used for any purpose other 

than in connection with this litigation and for no other action, and shall not use it for 

any business or other commercial purpose, unless and until such designation is 

removed either by agreement of the Parties, or by order of the Court.

8. Information designated as “Confidential – For Counsel Only” must be 

viewed only by counsel (as defined in Paragraph 3) of the receiving party, by

independent experts under the conditions set forth in this Paragraph, and by the Court. 

The right of any independent expert to receive any Confidential Information will be 

subject to the advance approval of such expert by the producing party or by 

permission of the Court. The party seeking approval of an independent expert must 

provide the producing party with the name and curriculum vitae of the proposed 

independent expert, and an executed copy of the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, 

in advance of providing any Confidential Information of the producing party to the 

expert. Any objection by the producing party to an independent expert receiving 

Confidential Information must be made in writing within fourteen (14) days 

following the receipt of the identification of the proposed expert. Confidential 

information may be disclosed to an independent expert if the fourteen (14) day period 

has passed and no objection has been made. The approval of independent experts 

must not be unreasonably withheld. 

9. Information designated “Confidential” must be viewed only by the 

Court, counsel (as defined in Paragraph 3) of the receiving party, by independent 

experts (pursuant to the terms of Paragraph 8), and by the additional individuals listed 

below, provided each such individual has read this Order in advance of disclosure 

and has agreed in writing in the form attached as Exhibit A to be bound by the terms

of this Order:

(a) Executives who are required to participate in policy decisions with 

reference to this action;

(b) Technical personnel of the parties with whom Counsel for the parties 

find it necessary to consult, in the discretion of such counsel, in 

preparation for trial of this action; and

(c) Stenographic and clerical employees associated with the individuals 

identified above.

Any “Agreement To Be Bound By Protective Order” (Exhibit A), executed by any 

person affiliated with a party shall be provided to any other party who, based upon a

good faith belief that there has been a violation of this Order, requests a copy.

10. With respect to material designated “Confidential” or “Confidential –

For Counsel Only,” any person indicated on the face of the document to be its 

originator, author or a recipient of a copy of the document, may be shown the same.

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

“Confidential – For Counsel Only” by the producing or disclosing party, and any and 

all reproductions of that information, must 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 must seek permission of the Court to 

file the material under seal. 

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

of the materials as “Confidential” or “Confidential – For Counsel Only”. The party 

objecting to confidentiality must 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) days of receipt of such 

notice of objections, the objecting party may move the Court for a ruling on the 

objection. The materials at issue must be treated as originally designated by the 

designating party, until the Court has ruled on the objection or the matter has been 

otherwise resolved.

14. All Confidential Information must be held in confidence by those 

inspecting or receiving it, and must be used only for purposes of this action. Counsel 

for each party, and each person receiving Confidential Information must 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 the 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. If any other person, organization or governmental entity demands by 

subpoena or other appropriate authority the production of any Confidential 

Information produced to it by another party, the party receiving such demand shall 

immediately notify the designating party of such demand. At its option, the 

designating party may elect to challenge the demand and assert any applicable 

protections, and shall notify the person, organization, or governmental entity of its 

challenge within such time as required by law or required by compliance with the 

demand. When such a challenge is made, the party who received the demand shall 

not produce any Confidential Information in the absence of consent by the 

designating party or an order by the issuing Court compelling production.

16. No party will 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.

17. If a party, through inadvertence, produces any Confidential Information 

without labeling or making 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 will agree on a mutually acceptable manner of labeling or 

marking the inadvertently produced materials as “Confidential” or “Confidential –

For Counsel Only” – Subject to Protective Order.

18. Nothing within this Order will 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. Likewise, nothing within this 

Order will prejudice the parties’ rights to object to the authenticity, relevance, or 

admissibility into evidence of any document, testimony, or other evidence. 

19. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d), the production of 

Confidential Information shall not waive any claim of privilege or protection in any 

other federal or State proceeding.

20. Nothing in this Order will 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 

material designated as “Confidential – For Counsel Only” must not be disclosed.

21. This Order will 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 must not 

be used by either party as a basis for discovery that is otherwise improper under the 

Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

22. Nothing within this Order will be construed to prevent disclosure of 

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

Court.

23. Upon final termination of this action, including any and all appeals, 

counsel for each party must, upon request of the producing party, within ninety (90) 

days of the request return all Confidential Information to the party that produced the 

information, including any copies, excerpts, and summaries of that information, or 

must destroy same at the option of the receiving party, and must purge all such

information from all machine-readable media on which it resides. In the event the 

receiving party elects to destroy the Confidential Information, within ninety (90) days 

of receiving the request the receiving party shall provide the producing party with a 

written certification that all such information has been destroyed. Notwithstanding 

the foregoing, counsel for each party may retain all pleadings, discovery responses, 

deposition transcripts, briefs, memoranda, motions, and 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.

24. The parties understand that, absent an ex parte motion made within 10 

calendar days of the termination of the case, the Court will destroy any confidential 

documents in its possession.

25. The restrictions and obligations set forth within this Order will 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 will 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.

26. The restrictions and obligations within this Order will not be deemed to 

prohibit discussions of any Confidential Information with anyone if that person 

already has or obtains legitimate possession of that information.

27. Transmission by facsimile or electronic mail is acceptable for 

notification purposes within this Order.

approval by the Court.

29. The Court may modify the terms and conditions of this Order for good 

cause, or in the interest of justice, or on its own order at any time in these proceedings. 

The parties prefer that the Court provide them with notice of the Court’s intent to 

modify the Order and the content of those modifications, prior to entry of such an 

order.

30. Prior to the termination of this action, any party may move the Court to

continue to have jurisdiction to enforce this Order indefinitely or for a specified 

period of time.

31. Without separate Court order, the Order and the parties’ stipulation do 

not change, amend, or circumvent any court rule or local rule.

32. No document shall be filed under seal unless counsel secures a court 

order allowing the filing of a document under seal. An application to file a document 

under seal shall be served on opposing counsel, and on the person or entity that has 

custody and control of the document, if different from opposing counsel. If the 

application to file under seal a document designated as confidential is being made by 

the non-designating party, then, upon request, the designating party must promptly 

provide the applicant with a legal basis for the confidential designation to include 

within the application. If opposing counsel, or the person or entity that has custody 

and control of the document, wishes to oppose the application, he/she must contact 

the chambers of the judge who will rule on the application, to notify the judge’s staff 

that an opposition to the application will be filed.
