STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER; [PROPOSED] ORDER

Case No. 2:13-CV-01321-TLN-CKD

WHEREAS, to expedite the flow of discovery material, facilitate the prompt resolution of 

disputes over the confidentiality of information, adequately protect material entitled to be kept 

confidential, and ensure that protection is afforded only to material so entitled, Plaintiffs Ken Miller, 

Jeremie Todd, and Christopher Franklin (referred to collectively as “Plaintiffs”), and Defendants 

Adecco USA, Inc. (“Adecco”) and CEVA Logistics U.S., Inc. (“CEVA Logistics”) (Adecco and 

CEVA Logistics are referred to individually as a “Defendant” and collectively as “Defendants”) seek 

to enter into a Stipulated Protective Order (“Protective Order”);

WHEREAS, pursuant to Rule 29 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Plaintiffs and 

Defendants have stipulated to the procedures set forth below regarding the use of material disclosed 

as part of the discovery process in this case; and

WHEREAS, the procedures set forth below do not purport to modify or alter the Eastern 

District of California Local Rules or the Case Management Procedures of the Honorable Troy L. 

Nunley regarding requests for permission to file documents under seal or any other topic;

GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT

WHEREAS, the parties submit that good cause exists for the issuance of this Protective 

Order for the following reasons: 

(i) Discovery obtained in the above-captioned action may involve disclosure of 

confidential, proprietary, private, or commercially-sensitive or trade secret information. Disclosure 

of this information to persons who are not entitled to it carries the danger of compromising the 

competitive business interests of Defendants, and also risks invasion of legitimate personal privacy 

interests of Plaintiffs and the putative class members;

(ii) Defendants anticipate that they may need to produce material that contains

proprietary information concerning their business practices and procedures for the operation of their 

businesses and facilities that may be of value to competitors or may cause harm to their legitimate 

business interests in the marketplace;

(iii) Defendants further anticipate that they may need to produce information concerning 

Plaintiffs or putative class members that is personal in nature or protected by the right of privacy;

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER; [PROPOSED] ORDER

Case No. 2:13-CV-01321-TLN-CKD

1.12 Protected Material: Any Disclosures or Discovery Material designated as 

“Confidential.”

1.13 Receiving Party: A Party that receives any Disclosures or Discovery Material 

designated as “Confidential.”

2. Scope.

The protections conferred by this Protective 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 would reveal Protected Material.

3. Duration.

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

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

court orders otherwise.

4. Designating Protected Material.

4.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Disclosures or Discovery 

Material for Protection. Each Party or Non-Party that designates Disclosures or Discovery Material 

for protection under this Protective Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific 

Disclosures or Discovery Material that qualify under the appropriate standards. A Designating Party 

must take care to designate for protection only those parts of the Disclosures or Discovery Material 

that qualify, so that other portions of the Disclosures or Discovery Material for which protection is 

not warranted are not swept unjustifiably within the ambit of this Protective Order. If it comes to a 

Designating Party’s attention that Disclosures or Discovery Material that it designated for protection 

should not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must promptly notify all other Parties that it 

is withdrawing the improper designation.

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

Protective Order, or as otherwise stipulated or ordered, Disclosures or Discovery Material qualifying 

for protection under this Protective Order must be clearly so designated. Designation in conformity 

with this Protective Order requires:

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER; [PROPOSED] ORDER

Case No. 2:13-CV-01321-TLN-CKD

4.2(a) For Disclosures or Discovery Material in documentary form (apart 

from transcripts of depositions or other pretrial proceedings):

4.2(a)(1)(A) The Designating Party shall affix the legend 

“CONFIDENTIAL” prominently on each page that contains Protected Material. If only a portion or 

portions of a document or material on a page qualifies for protection, the Designating Party should 

clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins); or

4.2(a)(1)(B) The Designating Party shall make such 

designation by written notice to all Receiving Parties that the document(s) should be treated as 

“Confidential,” by identifying the Disclosures or Discovery Material to be designated with 

particularity (i.e., by production numbers where available). Upon notice of the designation, all 

Receiving Parties (i) shall make no further disclosure of the Protected Material, except as provided 

by this Protective Order; and (ii) if such Protected Material has already been disclosed to any person 

or in any circumstance not authorized under this Protective Order, shall immediately inform the 

person or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this Protective 

Order, and request that such person or persons execute the “Agreement to Be Bound by Protective 

Order” (attached as Exhibit A).

4.2(a)(2) A Producing Party that makes original Disclosures 

or Discovery Material available for inspection need not designate them for protection until after the 

inspecting Party has indicated which Disclosures or Discovery Material it seeks to have copied and 

produced. During the inspection and before the designation, all of the Disclosures or Discovery 

Material made available for inspection shall be deemed “Confidential.” After the inspecting Party 

has identified the Disclosures or Discovery Material it seeks to have copied and produced, the 

Producing Party must determine which, if any, Disclosures or Discovery Material, or portions 

thereof, qualify for protection under this Protective Order. Prior to producing the specified 

Disclosures or Discovery Material, the Producing Party must affix the “Confidential” legend 

prominently on each page as set forth under Section 4.2(a)(1)(A) above.

Case No. 2:13-CV-01321-TLN-CKD

4.2(b) For Disclosures or Discovery Material in the form of testimony 

given in deposition or in other pretrial proceedings: The Designating Party shall identify on the 

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

Any Party may also designate testimony that is entitled to protection by notifying all Parties 

in writing within thirty (30) days of receipt of the transcript, of the specific pages and lines of the 

transcript which should be treated as “Confidential” thereafter. Each Party shall attach a copy of 

such written notice or notices to the face of the transcript and each copy thereof in its possession, 

custody or control. Unless otherwise indicated, all deposition transcripts shall be treated as 

“Confidential” for a period of thirty (30) days after the receipt of the transcript. This preliminary 

treatment, however, shall not limit a deponent’s right to review the transcript of his or her deposition 

under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 30(e)(1).

4.2(c) For Disclosures or Discovery Material produced other than in 

documentary or testimony form, and for any other tangible items:

4.2(c)(1)(A) The Designating Party shall affix in a prominent 

place on the exterior of the container a label containing the legend “Confidential.” If only portions 

of the information or item warrant protection, the Designating Party, to the extent practicable, shall 

identify the protected portions; or

4.2(c)(1)(B)(i) The Designating Party shall make such 

designation by written notice to all Parties, by identifying the Disclosures or Discovery Material to 

be designated with particularity (i.e., by production numbers where available). If only portions of 

the information or item warrant protection, the Designating Party, to the extent practicable, shall 

identify the protected portions; and

4.2(c)(1)(B)(ii) Upon notice of the designation, all Receiving 

Parties (i) shall make no further disclosure of the Protected Material, except as provided by this 

Protective Order; and (ii) if such Protected Material has already been disclosed to any person or in 

any circumstance not authorized under this Protective Order, shall immediately inform the person or 

persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this Protective Order, and

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER; [PROPOSED] ORDER

Case No. 2:13-CV-01321-TLN-CKD

request such person or persons to execute the “Agreement to Be Bound by Protective Order” 

(attached as Exhibit A).

4.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. An inadvertent failure by a Designating 

Party to designate as “Confidential” qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive 

its right to secure protection under this Protective Order for such material. If any such Disclosures 

or Discovery Material is appropriately designated as “Confidential” after the material was initially 

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

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

5. Challenging Confidentiality Designations.

5.1 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.

5.2 Meet and Confer. A Party who elects to initiate a challenge to a Designating 

Party’s confidentiality designation must first meet and confer in good faith with counsel for the 

Designating Party. In conferring, the challenging Party must explain in writing the basis for its 

objection and 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 within 

seven (7) days of the first meet and confer effort. 

5.3 Judicial Intervention. After the challenging Party has engaged in the meet and 

confer process, the Designating Party shall have thirty (30) days from receipt of the written meet and 

confer to either agree in writing to de-designate or file a motion with the court seeking to uphold any 

or all confidentiality designations. Pending a resolution of the motion by the court, any and all 

existing confidentiality designation on the material at issue in such motion shall remain in place. The 

Designating Party shall have the burden of persuasion on any such motion establishing applicability 

of its “Confidential” designation. In the event that the objections are neither timely agreed to nor

designation objection applicable to such material.

6. Access To And Use Of Protected Material.

6.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material 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 Protective 

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

of Section 10 below. However, nothing herein shall limit a Party from using any documents created 

by him or it for any purpose outside of this proceeding, irrespective of any designation given the 

document in this proceeding.

Protected Material must be maintained at a location and in a secure manner that ensures that 

access is limited to persons authorized under this Protective Order.

6.2 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 the following:

6.2(a) The Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel in this action, as well as 

employees of said Outside Counsel to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and 

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

6.2(b) The officers, directors, and employees (including In-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” (attached as Exhibit A);

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

to Be Bound by Protective Order” (attached as Exhibit A);

Exhibit A);

6.2(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” (attached as 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 Protective Order; and

6.2(g) The author of or recipient of the Protected Material or the original 

source of the information.

However, nothing herein shall limit a Party from disclosing any documents created by 

him or it for any purpose outside of this proceeding, irrespective of any designation given the 

document in this proceeding.

7. Protected Material Subpoenaed Or Ordered Produced In Other Litigation.

If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation that would 

compel disclosure of any information or items designated in this action as “Confidential,” that Party 

must:

7.1(a) immediately notify the Designating Party, in writing and in no 

event more than five (5) court days after receiving the subpoena or court order. Such notification 

must include a copy of the subpoena or court order;

7.1(b) immediately inform in writing the party who caused the subpoena 

or order to issue in the other litigation that some or all the Protected Material covered by the 

subpoena or order is the subject of this Protective Order. In addition, the Party must deliver a copy 

of this Protective Order promptly to the party in the other action that caused the subpoena or order to 

issue; and

7.1(c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be 

pursued by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER; [PROPOSED] ORDER

Case No. 2:13-CV-01321-TLN-CKD

before a determination by the court from which the subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has

obtained the Designating Party’s permission. 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 burden and expense of seeking protection in 

that court of its confidential material – and nothing in these provisions should be construed as 

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

8. 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 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 Protective 

Order, and (d) request that such person or persons execute the “Agreement to Be Bound by 

Protective Order” (attached as Exhibit A).

9. 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 141. Protected Material may only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order 

authorizing the sealing of the specific Protected Material at issue. A Party who wishes to file with 

the court any document which includes any Protected Material, shall, in accordance with the 

requirements set forth under Local Rule 141 and the Case Management Procedures of the Honorable 

Troy L. Nunley, submit a “Notice of Request to Seal Documents,” a “Request to Seal Documents,” a 

proposed order, and all documents covered by the request. The Request to Seal Documents, a 

proposed order (in Microsoft Word), and the document, or portion of the document, submitted for 

filing under seal shall, pursuant to Judge Nunley’s Case Management Procedures, be e-mailed to 

Judge Nunley’s proposed orders e-mail box (tlnorders@caed.uscourts.gov), with the e-mail subject

line including the case number and the statement: “Request to Seal Documents.” The Request, 

proposed order, and submitted documents shall not be filed at this time. Requests to seal documents 

at issue on discovery motions shall be submitted to the Magistrate Judge.

If the filing Party fails to request leave to file any included Protected Material under seal, the 

Designating Party who designated the filed information as Protected Material may make a written 

request to the court to file said information under seal within five (5) days of notice of the defective 

filing. Nothing herein shall limit any other remedies available to the Designating Party for a breach 

of this Order. This Section shall not apply to the Parties’ submission of exhibits for trial, nor the 

handling of exhibits during trial.

10. Final Disposition.

Unless otherwise ordered or agreed in writing by the Designating Party, after the final 

termination of this litigation, including any appeals, if a Designating Party requests in writing the 

return or destruction of any or all of its Protected Material, within thirty (30) days of such request, 

the Receiving Party must submit a written certification, under penalty of perjury, to the Designating 

Party that all Protected Material was returned or destroyed, including any copies, abstracts, 

compilations, summaries or other forms of reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material. 

Notwithstanding this provision, Outside Counsel may retain an archival set of copies of Protected 

Material. Any such archival copies that contain or constitute Protected Material remain subject to

this Protective Order as set forth in Section 4 above.

11. Inadvertent Production of Privileged Documents.

Inadvertent production of any document or information which a Producing Party later claims 

should not have been produced because of a privilege, including but not limited to attorney-client or 

work product privilege (“Inadvertently Produced Privileged Document”), shall not be deemed to 

waive any privilege. A Producing Party may request the return of any Inadvertently Produced 

Privileged Document. A request for the return of an Inadvertently Produced Privileged Document 

shall identify the document inadvertently produced and the basis for withholding such document 

from production. If a Producing Party requests the return, pursuant to this paragraph, of any 

Inadvertently Produced Privileged Document then in the custody of a Party, the possessing Party

shall within three (3) days return to the Producing Party the Inadvertently Produced Privileged 

Document and all copies thereof and shall not make use of such documents or information in this 

proceeding or otherwise. The Party returning such material may then move the Court for an order 

compelling production of the documents or information, but said Party shall not assert as a ground 

for entering such an order the fact or circumstances of the inadvertent production.

12. Miscellaneous.

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

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

12.2 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 

Disclosure or Discovery Material on any ground not addressed in this Protective Order. Similarly, 

no Party waives any right to object on any ground to use in evidence of any of the Disclosure or 

Discovery Material covered by this Protective Order.

12.3 Nothing in this Order shall prevent a Party from any use of its own 

Confidential or Attorneys’ Eyes Only documents.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
