Plaintiffs Erik Henrikson, Iris Kievernagel, Patsy Kievernagel, Joseph Kievernagel, 

Kathleen Hamilton and Thomas Blount (collectively, "Plaintiffs") and Defendants Turbomeca, 

S.A. (a/k/a La Societe Anonyme Turbomeca France) and Turbomeca USA, Inc. (f/k/a Turbomeca 

Engine Corporation) (collectively, "Defendants") hereby stipulate, in accordance with Federal 

Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c), to the following Protective Order, for the purpose of governing the 

disclosure during pretrial discovery and the subsequent handling of trade secret information, 

proprietary information, other confidential commercial, financial, medical, or personal 

information, and documents containing any such information (hereinafter collectively referred to 

as "CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION"). 

1. Initial Designation. 

1.1 Good Faith Claims. Claims of confidentiality will be made only with respect to 

documents, other tangible things, and information that the asserting party has a good faith belief 

is legally entitled to protection from discovery and disclosure under the Federal Rules of Civil 

Procedure and applicable case law. Objections to such claims made pursuant to paragraph 3 shall 

also be made in good faith. 

 1.2 Produced Documents. A party producing documents that it believes constitute or 

contain CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION shall produce copies bearing a label that identifies 

them as CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. No particular form of label is required so long as it 

indicates that the document contains CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. The label shall be 

affixed in a manner that does not obliterate or obscure the contents of the copies. As used herein, 

the term "documents" includes all writings, other media on which information is recorded, and 

other tangible things subject to production under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure or federal 

law. 

 1.3 Interrogatory Answers. If a party answering an interrogatory believes that its 

answer contains CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, it shall set forth that answer in a separate 

document that is produced and designated as CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION in the same 

manner as a produced document under subparagraph l.2. The answers to interrogatories should

make reference to the separately-produced document containing the answer, but such document 

should not be attached to the interrogatories. 

 1.4 Inspections of Documents. If a party elects to produce files and records for 

inspection and the requesting party elects to inspect them, no designation of CONFIDENTIAL 

INFORMATION needs to be made in advance of the inspection. For purposes of such inspection, 

all material produced shall be treated as CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. If the inspecting 

party selects specified documents to be copied, the producing party shall designate 

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION in accordance with subparagraph 1.2 at the time the copies 

are produced. 

1.5 Deposition Transcripts. Within twenty-one days after the receipt of a deposition 

transcript, a party may inform the other parties to the action of the portions of the transcript that it 

wishes to designate as CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. All parties in possession of a copy of 

a designated deposition transcript shall appropriately mark it as containing CONFIDENTIAL 

INFORMATION. 

1.6 Multi-page Documents. A party may designate all pages of an integrated, multipage document, including a deposition transcript and interrogatory answers, as CONFIDENTIAL 

INFORMATION by placing the label specified in subparagraph 1.2 on the first page of the 

document. If a party wishes to designate only certain portions of an integrated, multi-page 

document as CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, it should designate such portions immediately 

below the label on the first page of the document and place the label specified in subparagraph 1.2 

on each page of the document containing CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. 

1.7 List. The designating party shall prepare, periodically update, and provide to 

counsel upon request a listing of all designated CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. 

2. Designations by Another Party. If a party other than the producing party 

believes that a producing party has produced a document that contains or constitutes 

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION of such other party, it may designate the document as 

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION by so notifying all parties in writing within fourteen days of 

its receipt of the document.

3. Objections to Designations. 

 3.1 Generally. Any party objecting to an initial designation of CONFIDENTIAL 

INFORMATION, including objection to portions of designations of multi-page documents, shall 

notify the designating party within sixty (60) days of the receipt of the designation or within thirty 

days of entry of this order, whichever comes later. The objecting and the designating parties shall 

promptly confer in an attempt to resolve their differences. If they are unable to resolve their 

differences, the designating party, if it wishes to maintain the designation, shall have thirty (30) 

days from the service of the objection to file with the Court a motion to maintain the 

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION designation. During the pendency of such motion, all parties 

shall treat the material that is the subject of the motion as CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION 

until the Court rules on the motion. 

3.2 Near Trial. As necessary, the Court may consider and issue at a later date a 

further Order to deal with designations received near the date of trial. 

4. Custody. All CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION and any and all copies, 

extracts and summaries thereof, including memoranda relating thereto, shall be retained by the 

receiving party in the custody of counsel of record, or by persons to whom disclosure is 

authorized under subparagraph 5.1. Paragraph 11 addresses in more detail the handling of 

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION after the conclusion of this litigation. 

5. Handling Prior to Trial. 

 5.1 Authorized Disclosures. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION may be disclosed 

by the receiving party only to its employees who are authorized to assist in the litigation; to its 

counsel (including employees of its counsel); to the Court (subject to the procedures stated 

below); to qualified persons taking testimony involving such information; and to the party’s 

expert witnesses and consultants. However, a party may disclose CONFIDENTIAL 

INFORMATION to its expert witnesses and consultants only after obtaining the person’s express 

written acknowledgement to be bound by this Protective Order on the form prescribed in 

Appendix A or, with respect to material provided prior to the entry of this order, after obtaining 

the person's assurance that he will treat the material in the manner to be prescribed by this order.

Such disclosures are authorized only to the extent necessary to investigate, prosecute, or defend 

this litigation. 

5.2 Unauthorized Disclosures. If CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION is disclosed to 

any person other than in the manner authorized by this Protective Order, the party or person 

responsible for the disclosure, and any other party or person who is subject to this Order and 

learns of such disclosure, shall immediately bring such disclosure to the attention of the 

designating party. Without prejudice to other rights and remedies of the designating party, the 

responsible party or person shall make every effort to obtain the return of the CONFIDENTIAL 

INFORMATION and to prevent further disclosure on its own part or on the part of the person 

who was the unauthorized recipient of such information. 

5.3 Court Filings. If any CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION must be filed with the 

Court prior to trial, it shall be filed in accordance with Local Rules 39-140 and 39-141, without 

need for any further order of this Court authorizing the redaction of CONFIDENTIAL 

INFORMATION from any document pursuant to Local Rule 39-140(b). This provision applies 

to briefs, memoranda, and other filings that quote, summarize, or describe CONFIDENTIAL 

INFORMATION.

6. Handling During Trial. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION that is subject to 

this Order may be marked and used as trial exhibits by any party, subject to terms and conditions 

imposed by the Court upon application by any party. 

7. No Implied Waivers. The entry of this Protective Order shall not be interpreted 

as a waiver of the right to object, under applicable law, to the furnishing of information in 

response to discovery requests or to object to a requested inspection of documents or facilities. 

Neither the agreement to, or the taking of any action in accordance with, the provisions of this 

Protective Order, nor the failure to object thereto, shall be interpreted as a waiver of any claim or 

position or defense in this action, or any other actions. 

8. Inadvertent Production. Inadvertent production of a document that the 

producing party believes contains attorney-client communications, attorney work product, or 

otherwise privileged information shall not constitute a waiver of privilege, and any such

document (including all copies) shall be returned to the producing party immediately upon its 

request. 

9. Parties’ Own Documents. Except as provided in paragraph 2, this Protective 

Order shall in no way restrict the parties in their use of their own documents and information, and 

nothing in this Order shall preclude any party from voluntarily disclosing its own documents or 

information to any party or nonparty. 

10. Prohibition on Use Outside this Litigation. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION 

shall not be used for any purpose in any litigation other than this case. 

11. Handling Upon Conclusion of Litigation. Within 90 days of the conclusion of 

this litigation, all parties and counsel to this litigation and all persons to whom disclosure was 

made shall return all CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION to the party that produced it, including 

copies and extracts of CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. In lieu of returning 

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, the person or party in possession of such CONFIDENTIAL 

INFORMATION may destroy it, but must so notify counsel for the producing party. The attorney 

for the receiving party shall collect, assemble, and return (or destroy) all CONFIDENTIAL 

INFORMATION. If requested by the producing party, the attorney for the receiving party shall 

certify in writing that all such CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION has been destroyed. 

12. Further Protection. Nothing in this Protective Order precludes any party from 

seeking and obtaining from the Court a further protective order for any documents or information 

that the party believes may not be sufficiently protected by this or other protective orders.
