[PROPOSED] PROTECTIVE ORDER 

Upon consideration of the Motion of defendants Hollister Incorporated, 

The Firm of John Dickinson Schneider, Inc., Hollister Employee Share 

Ownership Trust, Samuel Brilliant, James A. Karlovsky, James J. McCormack 

and Richard T. Zwirner, THE COURT HEREBY ORDERS:

1. Good Cause. The Court determines that there is good cause to 

enter this Protective Order pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c) 

(“Protective Order”) to protect confidential information and materials which may 

be made available in the course of discovery in this case. For example, 

plaintiffs seek discovery of matters pertaining to the financial condition of 

Hollister and JDS, which are private, closely-held companies. Hollister and 

JDS maintain information concerning their financial condition in confidence. 

Unrestricted disclosure or use of Hollister’s or JDS’s financial information could 

cause those entities to incur competitive disadvantage, particularly in view of 

the employment of plaintiff Kathleen Ellis by Coloplast, a direct competitor of 

Hollister’s. 

2. Scope. This Protective Order provides a procedure to protect the 

confidentiality of documents, deposition testimony and transcripts, deposition 

exhibits, interrogatory responses, admissions, affidavits and exhibits thereto, or 

other information produced, given, or exchanged by and among the parties and 

any non-parties to this litigation who elect to be protected pursuant to the 

terms of this Protective Order (collectively, the “Discovery Material”). Any party 

or any other person who has been called upon to produce any Discovery 

Material in this action may apply to this Court to determine, whether any 

identified Discovery Material should be maintained as confidential pursuant to 

this Protective Order. The term “Document” includes but is not limited to any 

writing, electronic or otherwise, recording, or photograph as those terms are 

defined in Federal Rule of Evidence 1001.

3. No Use For Other Purposes. Any Discovery Material that is 

designated as “Confidential” or “Attorneys Eyes Only” shall, pending a further 

determination by this Court, be used only for the purpose of conducting this 

litigation (which includes only the three above-captioned consolidated cases), 

including any and all appeals in any of those cases. 

4. Producing Person. Any person or entity who produces any 

Discovery Material, and any person who generated or has rights in any 

Discovery Material, shall be referred to herein as a “Producing Person or 

Producing Persons.” 

5. Confidential Discovery Material. Any Producing Person may 

designate as “Confidential” any Discovery Material containing trade secrets, or 

information that it, he or she considers to be material, non-public information, 

or information that invades the financial privacy of any person, Producing 

Person or otherwise. 

6. Procedure for Designation of Discovery Material as

Confidential. Discovery Material, as described in ¶5, above, may be designated 

as “Confidential” as follows: 

(a) In the case of documents or other materials (apart from 

deposition transcripts or other pretrial testimony) produced by a party, 

designation shall be made by the Producing Person stamping or affixing 

the word “Confidential” on each page of any document that constitutes 

Confidential Discovery Material. In the case of documents produced by 

any person or persons who are not parties to this action, those persons 

can also designate documents as “Confidential”, or such a designation 

can be made by giving notice to all parties to this action, through their 

counsel of record, of such a designation within a reasonable time after 

production is made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a failure to designate 

a document, or pages of a document, as “Confidential” by itself does not

constitute a waiver of the right to do so later. However, any disclosure of 

such a document, or pages of a document, prior to its (or their) 

designation as “Confidential” shall not be a violation of this Order. A 

Producing Person may designate a document, or pages of a document, as 

“Confidential” after the document has been produced by providing all 

parties to this action, through their respective counsel of record, with 

written notice of the designation, whereupon the receiving party, and all 

other parties, shall treat the document, or pages of the document, so 

designated as “Confidential” in accordance with the terms and conditions 

of this Protective Order. 

(b) In the case of deposition testimony or other pre-trial 

testimony (including exhibits), the “confidential” designation shall be 

made by (i) a statement on the record by counsel for the Producing Person 

at the time the testimony is provided; or (ii) written notice sent by counsel 

for the party asserting confidentiality to all parties and, if applicable, to 

the non-party witness, within 30 days of receiving a copy of the transcript 

of such testimony. No disclosure shall be made of any deposition or other 

pre-trial testimony until after the passage of 30 days from the receipt by 

all parties of a copy of the transcript of such testimony. 

7. Procedure For Review Of The “Confidential” Designation. Once 

any Discovery Material is designated as “Confidential”, its use shall be limited 

as provided in this Protective Order unless the Court later determines that an 

item of Discovery Material is not to be treated as Confidential under this 

Protective Order during the pendency of this litigation, or thereafter. If a party 

disputes the propriety of any confidentiality designation, it shall provide notice 

to the Producing Person, and to all the parties who shall then promptly meet 

and confer regarding their disagreement. In the event the parties are unable to 

agree as to whether the “Confidential” designation is to be maintained, removed,

altered or limited, then the Producing Person shall, within 10 business days 

after the parties have conferred, submit an appropriate motion to the Court 

seeking a determination regarding whether each of the disputed items shall 

continue to be subject to the terms and conditions of this Protective Order 

during and after this litigation. In order to maintain the confidentiality of the 

information addressed in such motion, any motion made pursuant to this 

paragraph shall be delivered to the Court’s chambers and served on all other 

parties, but shall not be filed with the Court. All persons receiving such a 

motion shall, unless and until the Court rules otherwise, treat the contents of 

the motion, and any exhibits thereto as confidential to the same extent 

Discovery Material designated as “Confidential” under this Order is treated as 

“Confidential”. The Court will determine whether each disputed item of 

information identified in any motion brought under this paragraph shall or 

shall not continue to be subject to the terms and conditions of this Protective 

Order. The Producing Person shall, as required by Rule 26(c), Fed.R.Civ.P., 

have the burden of persuading the Court that the Discovery Material at issue is 

entitled to protection under this Order. 

8. Authorized Disclosure. Any Discovery Material that has been 

designated as “Confidential,” or information derived therefrom, may be 

disclosed, summarized, described, characterized, or otherwise communicated or 

made available only to the following persons: 

(a) In-house and outside counsel for any party to this litigation, 

and those regular and/or temporary employees and contractors of such 

counsel whose access to said documents or information is necessary for 

them to assist counsel in the conduct of this litigation; 

(b) Any expert or consultant retained by a party or by his, her or 

its counsel solely for the purpose of assisting them in prosecuting or 

defending this litigation. Confidential Discovery Material may be used by

(c) Any actual or potential witness or deponent (other than any

counsel. Prior to being provided with any Confidential Discovery 

Material, any such witness or deponent shall be required to confirm their 

understanding of, and agreement to abide by the terms of this Protective 

Order by signing and agreeing to the terms of the written 

acknowledgment attached hereto as Exhibit B. Signed copies of Exhibit B 

shall be obtained by and retained in the files of any counsel for any party 

who has provided Confidential Discovery Material to any such witness or 

deponent; 

(d) The parties, including, where applicable, their officers, 

directors, and employees, including those officers, directors and

(g) Any other person so ordered by the Court or upon stipulation 

of the Producing Person. 

The restrictions of this paragraph shall also apply, on an ongoing basis, to any 

Discovery Material that the Court determines, in response to any motion 

brought under ¶7 above, is entitled to Confidential treatment during and after 

the pendency of this litigation. 

9. Attorneys’ Eyes Only Discovery Material. If a Producing Person 

reasonably believes in good faith that the disclosure to another party of 

Discovery Material which is “Confidential” within the meaning of ¶5 would 

prejudice the interests of the Producing Person or a party, such material may be 

designated by the Producing Person as “Attorneys’ Eyes Only Discovery 

Material”. Designations of “Attorneys’ Eyes Only Discovery Material” is to made 

only to protect highly sensitive, proprietary information, and such designations

reasonably necessary to serve its intended purpose. The designation shall be 

made in the same manner specified in ¶6, above. “Attorneys’ Eyes Only 

Discovery Material” may be disclosed only to (a) those persons referred to in 

¶¶8(a), 8(b), 8(c), 8(e), 8(f) or 8(g); and (b) to a party in the presence of that 

party’s counsel. Any party that is made privy to “Attorneys’ Eyes Only 

Discovery Material” shall not (i) in any way, shape or form, directly or indirectly 

memorialize, or actually or constructively possess a recorded memorialization of 

any “Attorneys’ Eyes Only Discovery Material” or any part or portion of thereof; 

or (ii) except in deposition, court testimony, or as otherwise authorized by the 

court, communicate in any manner, verbally, in writing or otherwise any 

characterization of any of the contents of what that party has viewed with 

respect to any such “Attorneys’ Eyes Only Discovery Material”. For purposes of 

this ¶9, the term “party” includes the officers, directors, or employees of any 

party that is not a natural person. A Producing Person shall not utilize

Discovery Material designated as “Attorneys’ Eyes Only” in connection with the 

examination of a witness (other than the Producing Person or one of its 

employees or experts) unless the Producing Person has provided the opposing 

party with reasonable written notice of its intention to do so, including the 

identification of the specific “Attorneys’ Eyes Only” material to be utilized. With 

respect to any “Attorneys’ Eyes Only” material so identified, the other parties 

may use such materials in preparation of the witness for his or her testimony. 

10. No Unauthorized Disclosure. No person receiving or having 

access to any Confidential Discovery Material or Attorneys’ Eyes Only Discovery 

Material shall reveal, directly or indirectly, the contents of such Confidential 

Discovery Material or Attorneys’ Eyes Only Discovery Material, or any 

information contained therein or derived therefrom, to anyone not entitled to 

receive such Confidential Discovery Material or Attorneys’ Eyes Only Discovery 

Material under the terms of this Protective Order. In the event that any 

Confidential Discovery Material or Attorneys’ Eyes Only Discovery Material is 

disclosed to any person other than those authorized by the terms of this 

Protective Order, the party responsible for the disclosure shall immediately

including the name, address, and employer of each person to whom the 

disclosure was made and an explanation of how the disclosure came to be 

made. The party responsible for the disclosure shall immediately take all 

reasonable steps to retrieve the information disclosed and to prevent any 

disclosure of any such Confidential Discovery Material or Attorneys’ Eyes Only 

Discovery Material by any unauthorized person or persons to whom such

specified in this ¶11; 

(b) In addition to the requirements set forth in Local Rule 39-

141, any party seeking to file a document under seal which contains Discovery 

Material that has been designated as Confidential Discovery Material or 

Attorneys’ Eyes Only Discovery Material shall specifically and explicitly 

establish good cause for the filing of the document under seal; 

(c) If a party intends to file any document, or part of a 

document, which contains Discovery Material that has been designated as 

Confidential Discovery Material or Attorneys’ Eyes Only Discovery Material, the 

filing party shall notify the Producing Persons of such material of its intent to 

file such a document sufficiently in advance of the filing so that the Producing 

Person can timely apply for an Order that the proposed filing be made under 

seal. The party seeking to make the filing under seal shall inform the Producing 

Person of the Confidential Discovery Material or Attorneys’ Eyes Only Discovery 

Material that is to be included in the filing to be made. It shall then be 

incumbent upon the Producing Person to seek an Order that the filing be made 

under seal. The burden shall be on that person or party to establish good 

cause for the filing to be made under seal, and to otherwise comply with the 

requirement of Local Rule 39-141; and 

(d) Any motion to require that a document be filed under seal 

must establish more than speculation regarding potential harm; instead, an 

Order authorizing a filing under seal will be allowed only if the specter of real 

and tangible harm is established. The parties all understand that the Court will 

not authorize the wholesale filing of documents under seal.

12. No Waiver Of Privilege Through Inadvertent Production. The 

inadvertent production of any Discovery Material shall be without prejudice to 

any claim that such Discovery Material is subject to the terms of this Protective 

Order, or is protected by the attorney-client privilege, the work product 

doctrine, or any other applicable privilege or ground for withholding production. 

No party shall be held to have waived any rights by such inadvertent 

production. 

13. Procedure In The Event Of Inadvertent Production Of 

Privileged Information. Upon written notice by the Producing Person of his, 

her or its inadvertent production of Discovery Material containing privileged 

information or confidential information (not designated as such), each receiving 

party, upon receiving written notice from the Producing Person of such 

inadvertent production, shall (a) make no further use of the Discovery Material 

until further order of the Court, shall have five business days to return the 

Discovery Material and all copies thereof to the Producing Person and shall 

destroy all records of the contents of such Discovery Material; or (b) notify the 

Producing Person in writing of the receiving party’s objection to the claim of 

privilege, along with the grounds for the objection. In the event of the latter, 

within 10 business days after good faith efforts to resolve the dispute have 

failed, the Producing Person may move for an Order from the Court that the 

Discovery Material is privileged or was not properly designated as confidential. 

During the pendency of such a motion, each receiving party may retain the 

Discovery Material and all copies thereof, but shall make no use of it other than 

is necessary to oppose the Producing Person’s motion. Any copy or copies of 

the Discovery Material at issue which is submitted to the Court in connection 

with the foregoing motion shall be filed under seal in accordance with the terms 

of this Protective Order. If the Court determines that the Discovery Material 

was confidential but was (inadvertently) not designated as such, or that it is

Material, including any summaries or analyses derived therefrom. 

14. No Admissions Or Prejudice To Other Rights. Entering into, 

agreeing to, producing or receiving Confidential Discovery Material, or otherwise

Producing Person that any particular Confidential Discovery Material 

contains or reflects confidential information;

(b) operate as an admission by any party or Producing Person 

that any Discovery Material is not confidential; 

(c) operate as an admission by any party or Producing Person

(d) prejudice in any way the rights of any party to object to the

Producing Person to constitute Confidential Discovery Material or

Person to object to the authenticity or admissibility of any document,

15. Return or Destruction of Confidential Discovery Material. 

Within 30 days after receiving notice of the entry of an order, judgment, decree 

or settlement finally disposing of all litigation in which Confidential or 

Attorneys’ Eyes Only Discovery Material is permitted to be used, including the 

exhaustion of all permissible appeals, all persons having received Confidential 

or Attorneys’ Eyes Only Discovery Material shall return such material and all 

copies thereof (including summaries and excerpts) to counsel for the Producing 

Person. Counsel for the Producing Person shall be required to maintain the 

materials that are returned for a period of five years in a reasonably accessible 

location. If, during that five year period, a legitimate need for such materials 

should arise on the part of any party other than the Producing Person, then 

that party may make application to the Court, upon due notice to all of the 

other parties, to have some or all of the returned materials provided to that 

party, subject to such conditions and limitations as the Court may deem 

necessary and appropriate under the circumstances. The foregoing provision 

shall be deemed to discharge the retention obligation of counsel under 

California Rules of Professional Conduct 3-700 and 4-100(B)(3). 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, outside counsel for the parties shall be entitled 

to retain court papers, deposition and trial transcripts, and attorney work 

product, provided that such outside counsel (and employees of such outside 

counsel) shall not disclose any of the contents of any materials so retained 

except pursuant to Court Order or agreement with the party that produced the
