STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 

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

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 

Case 5:09-cv-02774-JW Document 17 Filed 01/19/10 Page 3 of 13 Case5:09-cv-02774-JW Document16 Filed01/15/10 Page3 of 13

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 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 

Case 5:09-cv-02774-JW Document 17 Filed 01/19/10 Page 4 of 13 Case5:09-cv-02774-JW Document16 Filed01/15/10 Page4 of 13

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 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 of each such page the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” or 

“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” as instructed by the Party or 

nonparty 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. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS 

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

confidentiality designation 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 by electing not to 

mount a challenge promptly after the original designation is disclosed. 

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

Party’s confidentiality designation 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 is offered, to explain the basis for the chosen

designation. 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. 

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

confidentiality designation 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. 

7. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 

7.1 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 11, 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. 

7.2 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:

disclosed to anyone except as permitted under this Stipulated Protective Order.

7.3 Disclosure of “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”

8. 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.

9. 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. 

10. 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 

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

must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5. 

11. 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

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

Section 4 (DURATION), above.

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

to seek its modification by the Court in the future.
