 of disclosure to a Receiving Party or becomes part of the public domain after its 

disclosure to a Receiving Party as a result of publication not involving a violation 

of this Order, including becoming part of the public record through trial or 

otherwise; and (b) any information known to the Receiving Party prior to the 

disclosure or obtained by the Receiving Party after the disclosure from a source 

who obtained the information lawfully and under no obligation of confidentiality to 

the Designating Party. Any use of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by a 

separate agreement or order. 

4. DURATION 

 Even after final disposition of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations 

imposed by this Order shall remain in effect until a Designating Party agrees 

otherwise in writing or a court order otherwise directs. Final disposition shall be 

deemed to be the later of (1) dismissal of all claims and defenses in this action, with 

or without prejudice; and (2) final judgment herein after the completion and 

exhaustion of all appeals, rehearings, remands, trials, or reviews of this action, 

including the time limits for filing any motions or applications for extension of time 

pursuant to applicable law. 

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. The Designating Party must 

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. 

 Mass, indiscriminate, or 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 Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it 

designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating 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, Disclosure or Discovery 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 (e.g., paper or 

electronic documents, but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or 

trial proceedings), that the Producing Party affix the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” to 

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). 

 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 “CONFIDENTIAL” legend to 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 the Designating Party identify on the record, before the close 

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

 (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 a portion or 

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

extent practicable, shall identify the protected portion(s). 

 5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an 

inadvertent failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing 

alone, waive the Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for 

such material. Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party 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. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a 

designation of confidentiality at any time. Unless a prompt challenge to a 

Designating Party’s confidentiality designation is necessary to avoid foreseeable, 

substantial unfairness, unnecessary economic burdens, or a 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. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute 

resolution process by providing written notice of each designation it is challenging 

and describing the basis for each challenge. To avoid ambiguity as to whether a

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 

 

challenge has been made, the written notice must recite that the challenge to 

confidentiality is being made in accordance with this specific paragraph of the 

Protective Order. The parties shall attempt to resolve each challenge in good faith 

and must begin the process by conferring directly (in voice to voice dialogue; other 

forms of communication are not sufficient) within 14 days of the date of service of 

notice. 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 or establishes 

that the Designating Party is unwilling to participate in the meet and confer process 

in a timely manner. 

 6.3 Judicial Intervention. If the Parties cannot resolve a challenge 

without court intervention, the Designating Party shall file and serve a motion to 

retain confidentiality (and in compliance with Local Rule 141, if applicable) within 

21 days of the initial notice of challenge or within 14 days of the parties agreeing 

that the meet and confer process will not resolve their dispute, whichever is earlier. 

Each such motion must be accompanied by a competent declaration affirming that 

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

preceding paragraph. Failure by the Designating Party to make such a motion 

including the required declaration within 21 days (or 14 days, if applicable) shall 

automatically waive the confidentiality designation for each challenged designation. 

In addition, the Challenging Party may file a motion challenging a confidentiality 

designation at any time if there is good cause for doing so, including a challenge to 

the designation of a deposition transcript or any portions thereof. Any motion 

brought pursuant to this provision must be accompanied by a competent declaration 

affirming that the movant has complied with the meet and confer requirements

imposed by the preceding paragraph. 

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

Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper purpose 

(e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may 

expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating Party has 

waived the confidentiality designation by failing to file a motion to retain 

confidentiality as described above, 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 until the court rules on the challenge. 

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. 

However, in the event such Protected Materials include records regarding telephone 

communications with third parties, a Receiving Party may not use the information 

contained in such Protected Material to contact the third parties identified in such 

Protected Materials without a Court Order permitting such contact. 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 13 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:

8. 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 compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this action as 

“CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must: 

 (a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such 

notification shall include a copy of the subpoena or court order; 

 (b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the 

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

covered by the subpoena or order is subject to this Protective Order. Such 

notification shall include a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order; and 

 (c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought 

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

If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with the 

subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this action 

as “CONFIDENTIAL” before a determination by the court from which the 

subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s 

permission. 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 Receiving Party in 

this action to disobey a lawful directive from another court. 

9. A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE 

PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION 

 (a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced 

by a Non-Party in this action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such 

information produced by Non-Parties in connection with this litigation is protected 

by the remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in these provisions 

should be construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional protections.

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 

 

 (b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, 

to produce a Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is 

subject to an agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s 

confidential information, then the Party shall: 

 (1) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the 

Non-Party that some or all of the information requested is subject to a 

confidentiality agreement with a Non-Party; 

 (2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the 

Stipulated Protective Order in this litigation, the relevant discovery request(s), and a 

reasonably specific description of the information requested; and 

 (3) make the information requested available for inspection by 

the Non-Party. 

 (c) If the Non-Party fails to object or seek a protective order from this 

court within 14 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the 

Receiving Party may produce the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive 

to the discovery request. If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the 

Receiving Party shall not produce any information in its possession or control that 

is subject to the confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a 

determination by the court. Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party 

shall bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in this court of its Protected 

Material. 

10. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OR USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 

 If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed 

Protected Material to any person or used Protected Material 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 or use, (b) use its best efforts to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the 

Protected Material and cease all unauthorized use, (c) inform the person or persons

11. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OR USE OF PRIVILEGED OR 

OTHERWISE PROTECTED MATERIAL 

 When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain 

inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other 

protection, the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal 

Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify 

whatever procedure may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for 

production without prior privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence

under seal pursuant to Local Rule 141 is denied by the court, then the Receiving
