Paragraph A.1.c. shall be revised to read as follows:

“The designating party and that party’s counsel shall make a good faith effort

to designate as “Confidential Material” only such documents, information and/or

things which the designating party reasonably believes warrant protection under the

standards developed under Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 26(c).”

The following sentence shall be added to the end of Paragraph A.3.: “The disclosing party

shall not disclose any Confidential Material pursuant to this subparagraph absent either written

approval of the designating party or a court order allowing the disclosure.

Paragraph A.4. shall be revised to read as follows:

Use in Court Proceedings. If a party wishes to file any Confidential Material

with the court, that party shall submit the Confidential Material to the court along

with a request to file it under seal pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5. Int the event

Confidential Material is used in any court proceeding herein, it shall not lose its

confidential status so long as it is not publicly disclosed. The handling of

Confidential Materials during any hearings or at trial shall be determined by the judge

presiding at the hearing or trial. The parties shall make reasonable efforts to protect

the confidentiality of Confidential Materials during any such use.

The following sentence shall be added to the end of Paragraph A.5.: “Nothing herein shall

require the court to return to any party any documents the court does not normally return to parties

under the court’s usual procedures.”

The parties may remove all references to the order being “stipulated” if they wish.
