6. AGREEMENT TO MAINTAIN CONFIDENTIALITY

a. All Confidential Information must be held in confidence by those 

inspecting or receiving it, and must be used only for purposes of this Action. Counsel 

for each party, and each person receiving Confidential Information must take 

reasonable precautions to prevent the unauthorized or inadvertent disclosure of such 

information. If Confidential Information is disclosed to any person other than a 

person authorized by this Order, the party responsible for the unauthorized disclosure 

must immediately bring all pertinent facts relating to the unauthorized disclosure to 

the attention of the other parties and, without prejudice to any rights and remedies of 

the other parties, make every effort to prevent further disclosure by the party and by 

the person(s) receiving the unauthorized disclosure. 

b. Unless and until otherwise ordered by the Court or otherwise agreed by 

the parties in writing, all documents designated as “Confidential” or “Confidential –

For Counsel Only” shall be treated as such under this Protective Order.

c. No party will be responsible to another party for disclosure of 

Confidential Information under this Protective Order if the information in question is 

not properly designated as such.

7. OBJECTIONS TO DESIGNATION

Following the receipt of documents marked “Confidential” or “Confidential –

For Counsel Only,” any party to the Action may object to the designation of such 

document and seek a modification of such designation by serving a written objection 

on the Designating Party. Thereafter, the objecting party shall first make a good-faith 

effort to resolve such dispute with counsel for the Designating Party. If the objecting 

party and the Designating Party are unable to resolve the objection, the parties shall 

jointly move the Court for an order with respect to the disputed information by no 

later than thirty (30) days from the objecting party’s receipt of the Confidential 

Information. After a prima facie showing by the objecting party as to the grounds for 

its objection to the designation of the document, the Designating Party shall have the

burden to show that the document is correctly designated as “Confidential” or 

“Confidential – For Counsel Only.” Any such motion shall comply with paragraph 9, 

below, and the Court’s Local Rules and e-filing procedures.

8. SEPARATE PROTECTIVE ORDER OR MODIFICATION OF THIS 

PROTECTIVE ORDER

This Protective Order shall be without prejudice to the right of the parties to the 

Action to present a motion to the Court for a separate protective order as to any 

particular document or information, including restrictions differing from those 

specified in this Protective Order. In addition, this Protective Order shall not be 

deemed to prejudice the parties in any way in any future application for modification 

of this Protective Order.

9. FILING CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL

a. No Materials bearing a “Confidential” or “Confidential – For Counsel 

Only” Legend shall be filed in the public record of this Action. Before any Materials 

produced in discovery, answers to interrogatories, responses to requests for 

admissions, deposition transcripts, or other documents which are designated as 

“Confidential” or “Confidential – For Counsel Only” are filed with the Court for any 

purpose, the party seeking to file such material must seek permission of the Court to 

file the material under seal. 

b. No document shall be filed under seal unless counsel secures a court 

order allowing the filing of a document under seal. An application to file a document 

under seal shall be served on opposing counsel, and on the person or entity that has 

custody and control of the document, if different from opposing counsel. If opposing 

counsel, or the person or entity who has custody and control of the document, wishes 

to oppose the application, they must contact the chambers of the presiding judge to 

notify the judge’s staff that an opposition to the application will be filed.

“CONFIDENTIAL – FOR COUNSEL ONLY” - SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE 

ORDER.

b. If a producing party determines that it has produced a document or data 

to which it wishes to assert a claim of privilege or protection, counsel for the 

producing party shall notify the recipient promptly of its claim. As part of the 

notification, the producing party’s counsel shall identify, by Bates Number, the 

document as to which the producing party is asserting a claim of privilege or 

protection. Upon receiving notice of a claim of privilege or protection by the 

producing party regarding a produced document or data, the recipient shall segregate, 

with promptness and in accordance with Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(b)(5)(B), the specified 

document or data, as well as any copies thereof, and the recipient shall not use the 

information in the specified document or data, except as provided by Fed. R. Civ. P. 

26(b)(5)(B), until after the claim is resolved. If the Court upholds – or if the recipient 

does not challenge within a reasonable time – the producing party’s claim of privilege 

as to the produced document or data, the recipient shall return or dispose of the 

specified document or data, as well as any copies thereof.

c. The recipient shall immediately notify the producing party’s counsel 

upon identification of any document or data that appears to be potentially privileged 

or protected. Such notification shall not waive the recipient’s ability to challenge any 

assertion of privilege or protection made by the producing party as to the identified 

document. As part of the notification, the recipient shall identify, by Bates Number, 

the document or data at issue. The recipient shall segregate the specified document or 

data, as well as any copies thereof, from the other materials, and the recipient shall not 

use the information in the potentially privileged or protected document or data, except 

as provided by Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(b)(5)(B), for a period of 14 days after the date on 

which the recipient notifies the producing party’s counsel. Within the 14-day period, 

or any other period of time agreed to by the parties, the producing party shall 

determine whether it will assert a claim of privilege or protection as to the identified

(3) business days thereof to the Designating Party and shall make no .disclosure unless

Party from the obligation of maintaining the confidentiality of all Confidential 

Documents and Confidential Information produced and designated pursuant to this 

Protective Order, unless all of the parties to the Action agree otherwise. Upon the 

final disposition of the Action, the parties shall automatically promptly return any
