has already been produced shall be treated as “Confidential” by the parties.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff shall not retain in his possession any Electronic

Information that has been designated Confidential, and shall access such Electronic Information only

at his attorneys’ offices. Nothing herein shall preclude Plaintiff from taking out of his attorneys’

offices copies of Electronic Information that has not be designated Confidential.

Information to the court for any purpose, or marks such Electronic Information as an exhibit at any

deposition, that party shall, within 24 hours, notify the designating party in writing of the specific

CD, DVD or other electronic storage device on which the information can be found, as well as the

exact file name of the file containing the information. (If the information is printed out and

submitted or marked in paper form only, the Confidential pages shall be marked “Confidential” and

the written notice need not be given unless requested.)
