CASE NO. C 06 4297 MMC 

1. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS

Disclosure and discovery activity in this action are likely to involve production of 

confidential, proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public 

disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation would be warranted.

Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the court to enter the following Stipulated 

Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this Order does not confer blanket protections on 

all disclosures or responses to discovery and that the protection it affords extends only to the 

limited information or items that are entitled under the applicable legal principles to treatment as 

confidential. The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 10, below, that this 

Stipulated Protective Order creates no entitlement to file confidential information under seal; 

Civil Local Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be followed and reflects the standards 

that will be applied when a party seeks permission from the court to file material under seal. 

2. DEFINITIONS

2.1 Party: any party to this action, including all of its officers, directors, 

employees, consultants, retained experts, and outside counsel (and their support staff). 

2.2 Disclosure or Discovery Material: all items or information, regardless of 

the medium or manner generated, stored, or maintained (including, among other things, 

testimony, transcripts, or tangible things) that are produced or generated in disclosures or 

responses to discovery in this matter. 

2.3 “Confidential” Information or Items: 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). 

2.4 “Highly Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only” Information or Items:

extremely sensitive “Confidential Information or Items” whose disclosure to another Party or 

nonparty would create a substantial risk of serious injury that could not be avoided by less 

restrictive means. 

2.5 Receiving Party: a Party that receives Disclosure or Discovery Material 

from a Producing Party.

2.6 Producing Party: a Party or non-party that produces Disclosure or 

Discovery Material in this action. 

2.7 Designating Party: a Party or non-party that designates information or 

items that it produces in disclosures or in responses to discovery as “Confidential” or “Highly 

Confidential — Attorneys’ Eyes Only.” 

2.8 Protected Material: any Disclosure or Discovery Material that is 

designated as “Confidential” or as “Highly Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only.” 

2.9 Outside Counsel: attorneys who are not employees of a Party but who are 

retained to represent or advise a Party in this action. 

2.10 House Counsel: attorneys who are employees of a Party. 

2.11 Counsel (without qualifier): Outside Counsel and House Counsel (as well 

as their support staffs). 

2.12 Expert: a person with specialized knowledge or experience in a matter 

pertinent to the litigation who has been retained by a Party or its counsel to serve as an expert 

witness or as a consultant in this action and who is not a current employee of a competitor of a 

Party and who, at the time of retention, is not anticipated to become an employee of a competitor 

of a Party. This definition includes a professional jury or trial consultant retained in connection 

with this litigation. 

2.13 Professional Vendors: persons or entities that provide litigation support 

services (e.g., photocopying; videotaping; translating; preparing exhibits or demonstrations; 

organizing, storing, retrieving data in any form or medium; etc.) and their employees and 

subcontractors.

3. SCOPE

The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only Protected 

Material (as defined above), but also any information copied or extracted therefrom, as well as all 

copies, excerpts, summaries, or compilations thereof, plus testimony, conversations, or 

presentations by parties or counsel to or in court or in other settings that might reveal Protected 

Material.

4. DURATION

Even after the termination of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations imposed 

by this Order shall remain in effect until a Designating Party agrees otherwise in writing or a 

court order otherwise directs. 

5. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL 

5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection.

Each Party or non-party that designates information or items for protection under this Order must 

take care to limit any such designation to specific material that qualifies under the appropriate 

standards. A Designating Party must take care to designate for protection only those parts of 

material, documents, items, or oral or written communications that qualify – so that other portions 

of the material, documents, items, or communications for which protection is not warranted are 

not swept unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order. 

Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations that 

are shown to be clearly unjustified, or that have been made for an improper purpose (e.g., to 

unnecessarily encumber or retard the case development process, or to impose unnecessary 

expenses and burdens on other parties), expose the Designating Party to sanctions. 

If it comes to a Party’s or a non-party’s attention that information or items that it 

designated for protection do not qualify for protection at all, or do not qualify for the level of 

protection initially asserted, that Party or non-party must promptly notify all other parties that it is 

withdrawing the mistaken designation. 

5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in this 

Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a), below), or as otherwise stipulated or ordered, 

material that qualifies for protection under this Order must be clearly so designated before the 

material is disclosed or produced. 

Designation in conformity with this Order requires: 

(a) for information in documentary form (apart from transcripts of 

depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that the Producing Party affix the legend 

“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” at the top

or bottom of each page that contains protected material. If only a portion or portions of the 

material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the 

protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins) and must specify, for 

each portion, the level of protection being asserted (either “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”). 

A Party or non-party that makes original documents or materials available for 

inspection need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated 

which material it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and before the 

designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be deemed “HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” After the inspecting Party has identified the 

documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine which documents, 

or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order, then, before producing the specified 

documents, the Producing Party must affix the appropriate legend (“CONFIDENTIAL” or 

“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”) at the top or bottom of each page 

that contains Protected Material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies 

for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by 

making appropriate markings in the margins) and must specify, for each portion, the level of 

protection being asserted (either “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – 

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”). 

(b) for testimony given in deposition or in other pretrial or trial 

proceedings, that the Party or non-party offering or sponsoring the testimony identify on the 

record, before the close of the deposition, hearing, or other proceeding, all protected testimony, 

and further specify any portions of the testimony that qualify as “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – 

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” When it is impractical to identify separately each portion of 

testimony that is entitled to protection, and when it appears that substantial portions of the 

testimony may qualify for protection, the Party or non-party that sponsors, offers, or gives the 

testimony may invoke on the record (before the deposition or proceeding is concluded) a right to 

have up to 20 days to identify the specific portions of the testimony as to which protection is

sought and to specify the level of protection being asserted (“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”). Only those portions of the testimony that 

are appropriately designated for protection within the 20 days shall be covered by the provisions 

of this Stipulated Protective Order. 

Transcript pages containing Protected Material must be separately bound by the 

court reporter, who must affix to the top or bottom of each such page the legend 

“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” as 

instructed by the Party or non-party offering or sponsoring the witness or presenting the 

testimony. 

(c) for information produced in some form other than documentary, 

and for any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the 

exterior of the container or containers in which the information or item is stored the legend 

“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” If only 

portions of the information or item warrant protection, the Producing Party, to the extent 

practicable, shall identify the protected portions, specifying whether they qualify as 

“Confidential” or as “Highly Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only.” 

5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent 

failure to designate qualified information or items as “Confidential” or “Highly Confidential – 

Attorneys’ Eyes Only” does not, standing alone, waive the Designating Party’s right to secure 

protection under this Order for such material. If material is appropriately designated as 

“Confidential” or “Highly Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only” after the material was initially 

produced, the Receiving Party, on timely notification of the designation, must make reasonable 

efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this Order. 

6. REDACTIONS

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, Designating Parties may redact 

from any document, whether designated Confidential or not, any privileged material or any other 

data that is protected from disclosure by Federal or state law or regulation.

CASE NO. C 06 4297 MMC 

7. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS AND REDACTIONS 

7.1 Timing of Challenges. Unless a prompt challenge to a Designating Party’s 

confidentiality designation or redactions is necessary to avoid foreseeable substantial unfairness, 

unnecessary economic burdens, or a later significant disruption or delay of the litigation, a Party 

does not waive its right to challenge a confidentiality designation or redactions by electing not to 

mount a challenge promptly after the original designation or redactions is disclosed. 

7.2 Meet and Confer. A Party that elects to initiate a challenge to a 

Designating Party’s confidentiality designation or redactions must do so in good faith and must 

begin the process by conferring directly (in voice to voice dialogue; other forms of 

communication are not sufficient) with counsel for the Designating Party. In conferring, the 

challenging Party must explain the basis for its belief that the confidentiality designation was not 

proper and must give the Designating Party an opportunity to review the designated material, to 

reconsider the circumstances, and, if no change in designation or redactions is offered, to explain 

the basis for the chosen designation or redactions. A challenging Party may proceed to the next 

stage of the challenge process only if it has engaged in this meet and confer process first. 

7.3 Judicial Intervention. A Party that elects to press a challenge to a 

confidentiality designation or redactions after considering the justification offered by the 

Designating Party may file and serve a motion under Civil Local Rule 7 (and in compliance with 

Civil Local Rule 79-5, if applicable) that identifies the challenged material and sets forth in detail 

the basis for the challenge. Each such motion must be accompanied by a competent declaration 

that affirms that the movant has complied with the meet and confer requirements imposed in the 

preceding paragraph and that sets forth with specificity the justification for the confidentiality 

designation that was given by the Designating Party in the meet and confer dialogue. 

The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on the 

Designating Party. Until the court rules on the challenge, all parties shall continue to afford the 

material in question the level of protection to which it is entitled under the Producing Party’s 

designation.

8. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

8.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is 

disclosed or produced by another Party or by a non-party in connection with this case only for 

prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this litigation. Such Protected Material may be 

disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the conditions described in this Order.

When the litigation has been terminated, a Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of 

section 13, below (FINAL DISPOSITION). 

Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a 

location and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons authorized under 

this Order. 

8.2 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless otherwise 

ordered by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a Receiving Party may 

disclose any information or item designated CONFIDENTIAL only to: 

(a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of record in this action, as 

well as employees of said Counsel to whom it is reasonably necessary to disclose the information 

for this litigation and who have signed the “Agreement to Be Bound by Protective Order” that is 

attached hereto as Exhibit A; 

(b) the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel) of 

the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have 

signed the “Agreement to Be Bound by Protective Order” (Exhibit A); 

(c) experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom 

disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the “Agreement to Be 

Bound by Protective Order” (Exhibit A); 

(d) the Court and its personnel; 

(e) court reporters, their staffs, and professional vendors to whom 

disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the “Agreement to Be

(f) during their depositions, witnesses in the action to whom disclosure 

is reasonably necessary and who have signed the “Agreement to Be Bound by Protective Order” 

(Exhibit A). Pages of transcribed deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal 

Protected Material must be separately bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to 

anyone except as permitted under this Stipulated Protective Order. 

(g) the author of the document or the original source of the 

information. 

8.3 Disclosure of “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES 

ONLY” Information or Items. Unless otherwise ordered by the court or permitted in writing by 

the Designating Party, a Receiving Party may disclose any information or item designated 

“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” only to: 

(a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of record in this action, as 

well as employees of said Counsel to whom it is reasonably necessary to disclose the information 

for this litigation and who have signed the “Agreement to Be Bound by Protective Order” that is 

attached hereto as Exhibit A; 

(b) Experts (as defined in this Order) (1) to whom disclosure is 

reasonably necessary for this litigation, (2) who have signed the “Agreement to Be Bound by 

Protective Order” (Exhibit A); 

(c) the Court and its personnel; 

(d) court reporters, their staffs, and professional vendors to whom 

disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the “Agreement to Be 

Bound by Protective Order” (Exhibit A); and 

(e) the author of the document or the original source of the 

information. 

9. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN 

OTHER LITIGATION

If a Receiving Party is served with a subpoena or an order issued in other litigation 

that would compel disclosure of any information or items designated in this action as 

“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” the

Receiving Party must so notify the Designating Party, in writing (by fax, if possible) immediately 

and in no event more than three court days after receiving the subpoena or order. Such 

notification must include a copy of the subpoena or court order. 

The Receiving Party also must immediately inform in writing the Party who 

caused the subpoena or order to issue in the other litigation that some or all the material covered 

by the subpoena or order is the subject of this Protective Order. In addition, the Receiving Party 

must deliver a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order promptly to the Party in the other action 

that caused the subpoena or order to issue. 

The purpose of imposing these duties is to alert the interested parties to the 

existence of this Protective Order and to afford the Designating Party in this case an opportunity 

to try to protect its confidentiality interests in the court from which the subpoena or order issued.

The Designating Party shall bear the burdens and the expenses of seeking protection in that court 

of its confidential material – and nothing in these provisions should be construed as authorizing or 

encouraging a Receiving Party in this action to disobey a lawful directive from another court. 

10. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed 

Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this Stipulated 

Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in writing the Designating 

Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts to retrieve all copies of the Protected 

Material, (c) inform the person or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the 

terms of this Order, and (d) request such person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment and 

Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A. 

11. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED MATERIAL

Inadvertent disclosure of privileged material shall be governed by Fed. R. Civ. P. 

26(a)(5)(B). 

12. FILING PROTECTED MATERIAL

Without written permission from the Designating Party or a court order secured 

after appropriate notice to all interested persons, a Party may not file in the public record in this 

Case 3:06-cv-04297-MMC Document 70 Filed 01/11/08 Page 10 of 12

action any Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any Protected Material must 

comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5. 

13. FINAL DISPOSITION

Unless otherwise ordered or agreed in writing by the Producing Party, within sixty 

days after the final termination of this action, each Receiving Party must return all Protected 

Material to the Producing Party. As used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all 

copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other form of reproducing or capturing any of 

the Protected Material. With permission in writing from the Designating Party, the Receiving 

Party may destroy some or all of the Protected Material instead of returning it. Whether the 

Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the Receiving Party must submit a written 

certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the same person or entity, to the Designating 

Party) by the sixty day deadline that identifies (by category, where appropriate) all the Protected 

Material that was returned or destroyed and that affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained 

any copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or other forms of reproducing or capturing any of 

the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are entitled to retain an archival 

copy of all pleadings, motion papers, transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence or attorney 

work product, even if such materials contain Protected Material. Any such archival copies that 

contain or constitute Protected Material remain subject to this Protective Order as set forth in 

Section 4 (DURATION), above. 

14. MISCELLANEOUS

14.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any 

person to seek its modification by the Court in the future. 

14.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this 

Protective Order no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to disclosing or 

producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in this Stipulated Protective 

Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on any ground to use in evidence of any of 

the material covered by this Protective Order.
