U.S.D.C., N.D. Cal., No.-C-06-CV-05398-WDBB

STIPULATION

Plaintiff Donna Catherine Wong and defendant Target Corporation (“Target”) (collectively 

referred to in this agreement as the “Parties”), acting through their respective counsel of record, hereby 

stipulate as follows: 

1. Target has produced or will produce, in connection with discovery proceedings in this 

action, information and/or documents consisting of or referencing confidential information, including 

but not necessarily limited to documents and information evidencing, relating to and referring to 

Target’s Vacation Plan, and certain financial information and/or documents relating to the same. 

2. The Parties anticipate that plaintiff may already have, or may seek discovery of, 

information and/or documents relating to Target’s business operations, including information and/or 

documents relating to Target’s Vacation Plan, the disclosure of which Target claims may adversely 

affect Target’s ability to compete. 

3. The information and/or documents referenced in paragraphs 1 and 2 are called 

“CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION” in this agreement. 

4. If CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION has already been or has yet to be produced in 

discovery, the Party who wishes to so designate it will do so by means of written notice given to the 

other Party as soon as is practicable in connection with its production, including but not limited marking 

the document “CONFIDENTIAL”. 

5. Material sought to be protected as CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION must be properly 

subject to protection pursuant to this Stipulation and Order and the standards developed under Federal 

Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c), and counsel must not designate any discovery material CONFIDENTIAL 

INFORMATION without first making a good-faith determination that protection is warranted. 

6. To safeguard the confidentiality of CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, it will be 

maintained as set forth in this agreement. 

7. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION will be used by the Parties solely for the purposes of 

the prosecution and/or defense in this action. 

8. The Parties will not disclose CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION in any manner to 

anyone other than the following, who will agree to maintain its confidentiality:

Party in writing. The burden will then fall on the Party making the designation to obtain an order of the 

Court upholding the designation. The designation made by the Party will be respected by the other 

Party, and the information and/or documents designated CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION will not be 

used in a manner inconsistent with this agreement, until either (a) 15 days pass after that other Party

motion for an order of the Court upholding the designation; or (b) a motion is denied by the Court. 

10. In the event that a Party seeks to file with the Court a document containing or constituting 

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, that Party will first file the document under seal pursuant to United

confidentiality requested or accept the documents as filed, the documents may be filed. 

11. Entering into, agreeing to and/or complying with the terms of this agreement will not:

should be produced; 

b. prejudice in any way the right of any Party to apply to the Court to rescind or 

modify the terms of this Confidentiality Agreement or to move the Court for a 

protective order; 

c. prejudice in any way the right of any Party to use, or object to the use of, any 

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION at any hearing or at trial; 

d. affect the obligations of any Party or person to comply with the terms of any 

compulsory process; or 

e. be construed as a waiver by either Party of any discovery objection. 

12. This agreement will be effective from the date on which it is signed by counsel for the 

Parties, and shall remain in effect even after the final termination of this litigation. 

13. The Parties and their counsel are responsible for employing reasonable measures to 

control, consistent with this agreement, duplication of, access to, discussion of and distribution of copies 

of CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, including obtaining enforceable non-disclosure agreements
