1 The holding of this court is limited to the facts and the particular circumstances

underlying the present motion.

2 For example, the court’s model form of protective order, available in the forms section

of the court’s website (www.cand.uscourts.gov), defines “‘Confidential’ Information or Items” as

“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).”

ORDER RE PARTIES’ PROPOSED FORM OF

PROTECTIVE ORDER

On May 26, 2005, the parties submitted a Stipulation re Protective Order; [Proposed] Order

Thereon.1 Having reviewed the proposed form of order, the court finds it appropriate to issue this

order,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that, no later than June 24, 2005, the parties shall re-submit a

proposed form of protective order in accordance with this order. Rather than listing specific

documents to be designated “Confidential,” the revised proposed form of order shall state in general

the proper standard to govern designating documents and information “Confidential.”2 The revised

proposed form of protective order shall also require parties to comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5

when seeking to file any document or information designated “Confidential.”

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, pending entry of a protective order to govern the handling

of confidential information (the “Protective Order”), any party may designate documents or

information “Confidential” if the party and the party’s counsel have made a good faith determination

that the document or information warrants such protection under Federal Rules of Civil Procedure

26(c). All such documents and information designated Confidential shall be disclosed only to

counsel of record for the parties (including paralegal and clerical assistants) and independent experts

who agree in writing to be bound by this order. The foregoing categories of people to whom

Confidential documents and information may be disclosed shall use the Confidential documents and

information solely for the purpose of this litigation. The restrictions imposed by this order shall

cease only when superceded by the court’s issuance of the Protective Order. Once the Protective

Order is issued, each counsel shall promptly serve a copy of that order on each independent expert to

whom they have disclosed any Confidential documents or information, and each such independent

expert shall then promptly execute an affidavit in the form attached to the Protective Order.
