 IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED by and between Plaintiff Gina McLeod 

(“Plaintiff”) and Defendant Bank of America, N.A. (“Defendant”), through their respective 

undersigned counsel, that, during this action, all documents, information, tangible items, and 

testimony designated as Confidential by the producing party in the above matter be, and hereby 

are, subject to the following terms and conditions: 

1. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS 

Disclosure and discovery activity in this action are likely to involve production of 

confidential, proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public 

disclosure and from use for any purpose other than litigating this case would be warranted. 

Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the court to enter the following Stipulated 

Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this Order does not confer blanket protections on 

all disclosures or responses to discovery and that the protection it affords extends only to the 

limited information or items that are entitled under the applicable legal principles to treatment as 

confidential. The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 10, below, that this 

Stipulated Protective Order creates no entitlement to file confidential information under seal; 

Civil Local Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be followed and reflects the standards 

that will be applied when a party seeks permission from the court to file material under seal. 

2. DEFINITIONS 

2.1. Party: any party to this action, including all of its officers, directors, employees, 

consultants, retained experts, and outside counsel (and their support staff). 

2.2. Disclosure or Discovery Material: all items or information, regardless of the 

medium or manner generated, stored, or maintained (including, among other things, testimony, 

transcripts, or tangible things) that are produced or generated in disclosures or responses to 

discovery in this matter. 

2.3. “Confidential” Information or Items: information (regardless of how generated, 

stored, or maintained) or tangible things that qualify for protection under standards developed 

under Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(c). 

2.4. Receiving Party: a Party that receives Disclosure or Discovery Material from a 

Case 3:16-cv-03294-EMC Document 28 Filed 03/31/17 Page 3 of 15

Producing Party. 

2.5. Producing Party: a Party or non-party that produces Disclosure or Discovery 

Material in this action. 

2.6. Designating Party: a Party or non-party that designates information or items that it 

produces in disclosures or in responses to discovery as “Confidential.” 

2.7. Protected Material: any Disclosure or Discovery Material that is designated as 

“Confidential.” 

2.8. Outside Counsel: attorneys who are not employees of a Party but who are retained 

to represent or advise a Party in this action. 

2.9. House Counsel: attorneys who are employees of a Party. 

2.10. Counsel (without qualifier): Outside Counsel and House Counsel (as well as their 

support staffs). 

2.11. Expert: a person with specialized knowledge or experience in a matter pertinent to 

the litigation who has been retained by a Party or its counsel to serve as an expert witness or as a 

consultant in this action and who is not a past or a current employee of a Party or of a competitor 

of a Party’s and who, at the time of retention, is not anticipated to become an employee of a Party 

or a competitor to a Party. This definition includes a professional jury or trial consultant retained 

in connection with this litigation. 

2.12. Professional Vendors: persons or entities that provide litigation support services 

(e.g., photocopying; videotaping; translating; preparing exhibits or demonstrations; organizing, 

storing, retrieving data in any form or medium; etc.) and their employees and subcontractors. 

3. SCOPE 

The protections conferred by this Stipulation and 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 might reveal Protected Material. 

4. DURATION 

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

Case 3:16-cv-03294-EMC Document 28 Filed 03/31/17 Page 4 of 15

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

otherwise directs. 

5. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL 

5.1. Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection. Each Party 

or non-party that designates information or items for protection under this Order must take care to 

limit any such designation to specific material that qualifies under the appropriate standards. A 

Designating Party must take care to designate for protection only those parts of material, 

documents, items, or oral or written communications that qualify so that other portions of the 

material, documents, items, or communications for which protection is not warranted are not 

swept unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order. 

Indiscriminate routinized designations are prohibited. Designations that are shown to be 

clearly unjustified, or that have been made for an improper purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily 

encumber or retard the case development process or to impose unnecessary expenses and burdens 

on other parties), expose the Designating Party to sanctions. 

If it comes to a Party’s or a non-party’s attention that information or items that it 

designated for protection do not qualify for protection at all, or do not qualify for the level of 

protection initially asserted, that Party or non-party must promptly notify all other parties that it is 

withdrawing the mistaken designation. 

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

(see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a), below), or as otherwise stipulated or ordered, 

material that qualifies for protection under this Order must be clearly so designated before the 

material is disclosed or produced. 

Designation in conformity with this Order requires: 

(a) for information in documentary form (apart from transcripts of depositions 

or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that the Producing Party affix the legend 

“CONFIDENTIAL” at the bottom of each page that contains protected material. If only a portion 

or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must 

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

28 

A Party or non-party that makes original documents or materials available for inspection 

need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated which 

material it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and before the designation, all 

of the material made available for inspection shall be deemed CONFIDENTIAL. After the 

inspecting Party has identified the documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party 

must determine which documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order; 

then, before producing the specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the legend 

“CONFIDENTIAL” at the bottom of each page that contains Protected Material. If only a 

portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also 

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

margins). 

(b) for testimony given in deposition or in other pretrial or trial proceedings, 

that Counsel for the deponent or witness providing testimony, within twenty (20) days after the 

final version of the transcript has been received by such Counsel, designate any portions of the 

transcript which contain testimony concerning CONFIDENTIAL information. Upon request of 

Counsel on the record (i.e., before the deposition or proceeding is concluded), deposition or other 

pretrial hearing or trial testimony in its entirety shall be treated as CONFIDENTIAL until 

expiration of the 20-day designation period. 

(c) for information produced in some form other than documentary, and for 

any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the exterior of the 

container or containers in which the information or item is stored the legend “CONFIDENTIAL.” 

If only portions of the information or item warrant protection, the Producing Party, to the extent 

practicable, shall identify the protected portions. 

5.3. Need for Higher Level of Confidentiality. In the event the Producing Party 

believes that the material to be produced, or testimony to be given, is deserving of a higher level 

of confidentiality than the protections currently provided herein for “Confidential” materials, the 

Producing Party shall contact the party to whom disclosure would otherwise be made to explain 

the need for and the specifics of the higher level of protection. The Parties shall meet and confer

in good faith to come to agreement on the designation and its scope. If the Parties cannot reach 

agreement, the Producing Party shall submit the matter to the Court for resolution per paragraph 

6.3 of this Order, and shall not be required to produce the material in question until the Court 

issues a decision. 

5.4. Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent failure to 

designate qualified information or items as “Confidential” or as some other level of 

confidentiality, does not, standing alone, waive the Designating Party’s right to secure protection 

under this Order for such material. If material is appropriately designated as “Confidential” or 

some other level of confidentiality after the material was initially produced, the Receiving Party, 

on timely notification of the designation, must make reasonable efforts to assure that the material 

is treated in accordance with the provisions of this Order. 

6. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS 

6.1. 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. 

6.2. Meet and Confer. A Party that elects to initiate a challenge to a Designating 

Party’s confidentiality designation must do so in good faith and must begin the process by 

conferring directly (in voice to voice dialogue in person or by telephone; a mere exchange of 

letters, e-mails, telephone calls, or facsimile transmissions is not sufficient) with counsel for the 

Designating Party. In conferring, the challenging Party must explain the basis for its 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. A challenging Party may 

proceed to the next stage of the challenge process only if it has engaged in this meet and confer 

process first. 

6.3. Judicial Intervention. A Party that elects to press a challenge to a confidentiality

designation after considering the justification offered by the Designating Party will, along with 

the Designating Party, prepare a concise joint statement of 5 pages or less explaining the 

Designating Party’s basis for the chosen designation as well as the challenging Party’s basis for 

its belief that the confidentiality designation was not proper. The Designating Party and the 

challenging party may each elect to submit a brief individual statement of 2 pages or less, and the 

challenging party may file and serve a motion under Civil Local Rule 7 (and in compliance with 

Civil Local Rule 79-5, if applicable) that identifies the challenged material and sets forth in detail 

the basis for the challenge. Each such motion must be accompanied by a competent declaration 

that affirms that the movant has complied with the meet and confer requirements imposed in the 

preceding paragraph and that sets forth with specificity the justification for the confidentiality 

designation that was given by the Designating Party in the meet and confer dialogue. 

The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on the Designating 

Party. Until the court rules on the challenge, all parties shall continue to afford the material in 

question the level of protection to which it is entitled under the Producing Party’s designation. 

7. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 

7.1. Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is disclosed 

or produced by another Party or by a non-party in connection with this case 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 Order. When the litigation 

has been terminated, a Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of section 11, below 

(FINAL DISPOSITION). 

Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a location and 

in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons authorized under this Order. 

7.2. 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: 

(a) the Receiving Party and the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of record in 

this action, as well as employees of said Counsel to whom it is reasonably necessary to disclose

the information for this litigation and who have signed the “Agreement to be Bound by Protective 

Order” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A; 

(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” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A; 

(c) Experts (as defined in this Order) 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” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A; 

(d) the Court and its personnel; 

(e) court reporters, their staffs, and Professional Vendors to whom disclosure 

is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the “Agreement to be Bound by 

Protective Order” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A; 

(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” that 

is attached hereto as Exhibit A; and, 

(g) the author of the Protected Material or the original source of the 

information. 

8. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN OTHER 

LITIGATION 

If a Receiving Party is served with a subpoena or an order issued in other litigation that 

would compel disclosure of any information or items designated in this action as 

“CONFIDENTIAL,” the Receiving Party must so notify the Designating Party in writing (by fax 

or e-mail, if possible) immediately and, in no event, more than three court days after receiving the 

subpoena or order. Such notification must include a copy of the subpoena or court order. 

The Receiving Party also must immediately inform in writing the Party who caused the 

subpoena or order to issue in the other litigation that some or all the material covered by the 

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

deliver a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order promptly to the Party in the other action that

caused the subpoena or order to issue. 

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 burdens and the expenses of seeking protection in that court of its 

confidential material – and nothing in these provisions should be construed as authorizing or 

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

9. 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 Stipulated 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 

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

Protective Order” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A. 

10. 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 79-5. 

11. FINAL DISPOSITION 

Unless otherwise ordered or agreed in writing by the Producing Party, within sixty (60) 

days after the final termination of this action, each Receiving Party must return all Protected 

Material to the Producing Party. As used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all 

copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries, or any other form of reproducing or capturing any of 

the Protected Material. The Receiving Party may at its election destroy some or all of the 

Protected Material instead of returning it. Whether the Protected Material is returned or 

destroyed, the Receiving Party must submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if

identifies (by category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was returned or 

destroyed and that affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any copies, abstracts, 

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

Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are entitled to retain an archival copy of all 

pleadings, motion papers, transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, or attorney work 

product even if such materials contain Protected Material. Any such archival copies that contain 

or constitute Protected Material remain subject to this Protective Order as set forth in Section 4 

(DURATION), above. 

12. MEDIATION 

This Order will apply to documents and information disclosed, formally or informally, in 

connection with any mediation of this matter, regardless of whether or not the information is 

expressly designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Additionally, all documents and information 

produced in connection with a mediation will be promptly returned to the producing party or 

destroyed (followed by a letter confirming such destruction) when the mediation process 

concludes (regardless of whether the process is successful or unsuccessful), pursuant to the terms 

of Section 11 herein – except to the extent the undersigned parties agree in writing to an alternate 

process. The undersigned parties expressly understand and agree that the production and/or 

disclosure of documents or information in connection with mediation will be without prejudice to 

the producing party’s ability to argue against the disclosure of the same documents or information 

in connection with litigation. Except to the extent that the terms of this Order provide greater 

protection, the undersigned parties further expressly recognize and agree that documents and 

information provided in connection with mediation or settlement will be governed by the 

provisions of California Evidence Code § 1119 and Local Rule 16-8. 

13. MISCELLANEOUS 

13.1. Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any person to 

seek its modification by the Court in the future. 

13.2. Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this Protective
