2. The party designating the documents or materials as confidential shall designate

those confidential documents and materials by stamping them with a legend incorporating the

term “CONFIDENTIAL”. The legend need only be stamped on the front page of any

documents, materials or information which consists of multiple pages, so long as it is evident

that the pages constitute one single document.

3. If a party disagrees with the confidential designation, that party shall notify the

designating party of the objections, in writing, within twenty (20) days of the receipt of the

designated material. The written objection shall identify the bates numbers of the designated

documents at issue and state the reasons why the party disagrees with the confidential

designation. The parties shall meet and confer over the objections for a period of no longer than

twenty (20) days after receipt of the written objection. If the parties are unable to agree as to the

designation, the designating party shall file a motion for a protective order to deem such material

as confidential within ten (10) days of the conclusion of the meet and confer process. If the

designating party fails to file a timely motion for a protective order, the documents, materials or

information identified in the written objection shall not be considered confidential. The

documents, materials or information identified in the written objection shall remain confidential

during the meet and confer period and the period, if applicable, prior to the decision on the

motion for protective order by the court.

4. Documents, materials and information designated as confidential shall be

automatically deemed confidential and/or proprietary if objections are not timely served. Access

to or knowledge of designated documents, materials and information is limited to the parties,

their attorneys, insurers, experts consulted or employed for the purpose of this case currently

pending in the United States District Court, Northern District of California (San Jose) entitled

Robin Morel v. Salesians of Don Bosco, dba Camp St. Francis, et al. (USDC, Northern District

of California, Case No. C07 01263 JF PVT), and non-party witnesses called to testify or who

counsel of record reasonably anticipate may testify at trial, arbitration, evidentiary hearing and/or

at deposition. Such persons, their assistants, agents, employees, and representatives shall only

have access to and use confidential documents, materials and information, including any

summaries, abstracts, or other documents derived in whole or in part from them, for the sole

purpose of pursuing, defending or resolving this action, and for no other purpose. Such persons,

their assistants, agents, employees, and representatives shall not disclose confidential documents,

materials and information to any other person or entity without the express prior written consent

of the other parties, unless ordered by the Court. Such confidential documents, materials and

information may be used, under the terms of this stipulation, in connection with the claims

asserted by Robin Morel against Salesian Society (sued herein as Salesians of Don Bosco, dba

Camp St. Francis) , and related parties, whether in an arbitration, mediation, or court action.

5. A copy of this stipulated protective order shall be provided to all persons who are

to be allowed access to confidential documents, materials or information to that person. No

person shall be allowed access to confidential documents, materials, or information unless that

person agrees to follow and be bound by the terms of this stipulated protective order and agrees

to be subject to the jurisdiction of the above-referenced court in connection with any possible or

actual violations of the terms of this stipulated protective order. No expert or nonparty witness

shall be allowed access to confidential documents, materials or information unless that party has

executed an undertaking to comply with this stipulated protective order in the form attached

hereto as Exhibit “A”.

6. Confidential documents, materials or information may be disclosed to court

personnel, including stenographic reporters engaged in proceedings necessarily incidental to the

preparation for hearing or trial of this action or the matters identified in Paragraph 4 above. In

the event that the parties agree to the arbitration or mediation of this action, confidential

documents may also be disclosed to the selected or appointed arbitrators and mediators and their

respective personnel.

7. Confidential documents, materials or information developed, revealed or included

within any discovery proceedings, formal and informal, whether in the form of depositions,

transcripts, answers to interrogatories or requests for admissions, document production, or

contained in pleadings, motions, memoranda, affidavits, declarations, expert witness disclosures

or reports, or other documents submitted to this Court, or in the transcript of any hearing or

proceeding of the Court, shall be subject to this stipulated protective order and when presented to

or filed with the Court, the procedures outlined in Civil Local Rule 79-5 shall be observed.

8. The inadvertent production of any confidential documents, materials or

information by a producing party during discovery in this litigation without a confidential

designation, or the inadvertent failure to designate documents, materials or information as

confidential by an inspecting party, shall be without prejudice to any claim that such documents,

materials or information are confidential, and no party or non-party shall be held to have waived

any rights by such inadvertent production or failure to designate subject to the limitations herein

provided a party who has inadvertently produced documents it considers confidential without so

designating them, shall give written notice to the other parties of the mistake within twenty (20)

days of the production. The parties shall meet and confer for a period of no longer than twenty

(20) days concerning the inadvertent disclosure and if the parties are unable to agree as to the

requested designation, the party seeking the designation shall file a motion to deem such material

as confidential within ten (10) days of the conclusion of the meet and confer process. For

purposes of this stipulated protective order, an “Inspecting Party” is a party inspecting its own

documents which are in the possession of a third party with whom the Inspecting Party has a

professional relationship (i.e., an accountant) such that, under applicable law, the documents are

arguably confidential notwithstanding their presence in the files of such third party. Upon

receiving prompt notice that a party deems such material confidential and inadvertently

produced, the other party will, subject to their rights under paragraph 3 hereof, treat such

document or materials, and the information contained therein, as confidential pending the

Court’s ruling on a timely motion to deem the documents confidential made within ten (10) days

by the party asserting confidentiality after such party has asserted the documents are privileged.

Upon the Court ordering the inadvertently produced documents to be confidential, the terms of

this stipulated protective order shall apply thereto.

9. Any disclosure of information or material by the other party or parties to any

recipient permitted under paragraph 4 hereof, prior to receipt of the notice specified in

paragraphs 8 or 9 hereof, shall not constitute a violation of this stipulated protective order or

otherwise subject the disclosing party or parties to any liability of any kind.

10. Confidential documents, material and information shall not lose their confidential

status should they be used during the course of any court proceeding, mediation or arbitration in

this action or other proceeding. The party using confidential documents, material and

information shall take all reasonable steps necessary to maintain their confidentiality during such

use.

11. Testimony taken at deposition, conference, hearing, arbitration or trial may be

designated as confidential by making a statement to that effect on the record at the deposition or

other proceeding if the testimony directly concerns a document previously produced and

designated as confidential and the testimony including such confidential information. All other

testimony may be designated as confidential upon stipulation of the parties at the deposition,

conference, hearing, arbitration or trial. If the parties are unable to reach a stipulation, then the

testimony shall be conditionally designated as confidential subject to a successful challenge

(including the designating party not timely moving for a protective order) to the designation

pursuant to paragraph 3.

12. This stipulated protective order shall not prejudice the rights of any party to make

an objection to the production of confidential matters or to their admissibility into evidence, or

the designation of any material as confidential.

13. This stipulated protective order shall not in any way prejudice the rights of the

parties for a modification of this order in the future and the Court retains jurisdiction to modify

this order.

14. This stipulated protective order shall survive the final termination of this lawsuit.

Within forty-five (45) days of the termination of the lawsuit (including any and all appeals and

petitions), all parties shall assemble and return to the party providing the confidential documents,

materials or information, all documents, materials and information designated as confidential and

which have remained confidential under this stipulated protective order without retaining any

copies or duplicates. Alternatively, counsel may certify destruction of such documents in

writing. Counsel shall be entitled, however, to retain memoranda and other work product, and

pleadings embodying information derived from such confidential information to the extent

reasonably necessary to preserve a file in this litigation. All such memoranda and other work

product shall remain subject to the terms of this stipulated protective order.

15. The court shall retain jurisdiction to resolve any dispute concerning the use of the

documents, materials or information disclosed under this stipulated protective order. The court

may grant sanctions for improper use of such documents, materials and information and may

impose such sanctions on its own motion or on motion of a party.

16. This stipulated protective order shall not preclude the disclosure of confidential

information to the Court having jurisdiction over the litigation, including the trier of fact at the

time of trial or court hearing in this action. To the extent that any confidential information is filed

or otherwise presented in Court, it shall be pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5.
