2. Discovery Material produced or provided by any party or non-party as part of 

discovery in this action may be designated by such party or non-party, or by any other party (the 

“Designating Party”) as “Confidential Information.” As a general guideline, materials designated 

“Confidential Information” shall be those things of a confidential, proprietary, or commerciallysensitive nature, including but not limited to trade secrets. Absent a specific order by this Court, 

and subject to the limited exception set forth in Paragraph 8, Discovery Material designated as 

“Confidential Information” shall be used by the persons or entities to whom it is disclosed solely for 

purposes of this action. Confidential Information shall not be used for any business, patent 

prosecution, competitive or governmental purpose or function, and such Discovery Material shall 

not be disclosed to anyone except as provided in this Protective Order.

3. Except as expressly provided in Paragraph 8, Discovery Material designated 

“Confidential Information” pursuant to this Protective Order, or copies or extracts therefrom, and 

compilations and summaries thereof, and the information therein, may be given, shown, made 

available to or communicated in any way only to the following persons: 

(a) Outside counsel for the parties in this action, and persons working solely in secretarial, 

clerical and paralegal capacities and who are assisting those attorneys in this action; 

(b) the parties; 

(c) court reporters and other qualified persons transcribing or recording testimony involving 

such documents or information, including any administrative and clerical personnel 

thereof; 

(d) those consultants or technical experts and their staffs to the extent approved by the 

parties pursuant to paragraph 7 of the Protective Order; 

(e) the Court, the jury, and the Court’s staff; 

(f) any person approved by the Designating Party pursuant to Paragraph 7 of the Protective 

Order or otherwise ordered by the Court; 

(g) graphics, translation, design and/or trial consulting services; and 

(h) mock jurors retained by a party.

However, the persons identified in subsections (d), (f) and (g) of this Paragraph shall not be 

permitted access to materials or information designated “Confidential Information” unless and until 

they sign a copy of the acknowledgment form annexed hereto as Exhibit A acknowledging that they 

have read this Protective Order and agree to be bound by its terms. Outside counsel of record shall 

retain copies of all executed acknowledgments.

4. Certain Discovery Material may be designated by a party or non-party as “Highly 

Confidential Information.” This “Highly Confidential Information” designation shall be limited to 

such Discovery Material that the Designating Party believes, in good faith, contains information, the 

disclosure of which is likely to cause significant harm to the competitive position of the Designating 

Party. All the provisions set forth in this Protective Order that apply to “Confidential Information” 

also apply to materials designated “Highly Confidential Information.” No information or materials 

on which the Receiving Party or a current employee of the Receiving Party was a signatory, author, 

addressee, or recipient may be designated “Highly Confidential Information.” 

5. Except as expressly provided in Paragraph 8, Discovery Material designated “Highly 

Confidential Information” may only be disclosed to the persons identified in subsections (a), (c), (e) 

and (h) of Paragraph 3 of this Protective Order. Such Highly Confidential Information may also be 

disclosed to Cargill in-house counsel Chris Putnam and Scott Piering, subject to the provisions of 

Paragraph 6. In addition, Highly Confidential Information describing Progressive’s dairy feed 

formulations may be disclosed to Cargill employees John Griffin and Brian Strang, subject to the 

provisions of Paragraph 6, but no other Highly Confidential Information may be disclosed to Mr. 

Griffin or Mr. Strang. The persons identified in subsections (d), (f) and (g) of Paragraph 3 shall not 

be permitted access to materials or information designated “Highly Confidential Information” 

unless and until they sign a copy of the acknowledgment form annexed hereto as Exhibit A 

acknowledging that they have read this Protective Order and agree to be bound by its terms. 

Outside counsel of record shall retain copies of all executed acknowledgments. Furthermore, 

disclosure to persons described in Paragraphs 3(d) and (f) must be made pursuant to the procedures 

set forth in Paragraph 7, and only after such persons have signed a copy of the acknowledgment 

form annexed hereto as Exhibit A.

6. If Cargill wishes to disclose specific Highly Confidential Information to Cargill 

employees John Griffin and/or Mr. Strang, Cargill must first provide the Progressive Defendants 

with notice of the specific information to which those individuals will be given access. To the 

extent that Highly Confidential Information is disclosed to Cargill in-house counsel Chris Putnam 

and Scott Piering or to Cargill employees John Griffin and Brian Strang pursuant to this Protective 

Order, those individuals are prohibited from making copies or otherwise duplicating any materials 

designated “Highly Confidential” or portions thereof except that each individual may print for their 

own use one copy of any documents produced electronically. When not in use, these individuals 

shall maintain any hard copies of materials designated “Highly Confidential” in a secure location, 

for example a locked cabinet or office, to which only such individuals may have access, and shall 

take any necessary precautions to ensure that such materials are not disclosed to anyone or in any 

manner not expressly identified in this Protective Order. These individuals shall maintain Highly 

Confidential Information disclosed to them in electronic or digital format and any notes or other 

information in electronic or digital format concerning such information on a personal storage device 

and not any computer or storage device owned or maintained by Cargill. In addition, Mr. Griffin 

shall not be involved in developing or modifying dairy ration formulas or values of programs for 

formulating dairy feed on behalf of Cargill at any time from or after the date highly confidential 

information is first disclosed to him. If any of these specifically named individuals cease working 

for Cargill in their current capacities, Cargill may seek to replace that individual by providing the 

Progressive Defendants (Progressive Dairy Solutions, Inc., Matthew Budine, Luciana Jonkman and 

Brian Sundberg) with the name and job description of the proposed replacement. The Progressive 

Defendants shall have five (5) business days to respond whether the proposed replacement is 

acceptable. If the parties cannot agree on a replacement, the parties shall file a Joint Statement re 

Discovery Disagreement pursuant to L.R. 37-251 on this issue. Prior to receiving any “Highly 

Confidential Information,” the individuals identified in this Paragraph, as well as any replacement 

designated and approved pursuant to this Paragraph, shall execute a copy of the acknowledgment 

form annexed hereto as Exhibit A acknowledging that they have read this Protective Order and 

agree to be bound by its terms.

7. The procedure for providing information designated “Confidential Information” or 

“Highly Confidential Information” to the persons described in Paragraphs 3(d) and (f) with respect 

to all categories of confidential information, shall be as follows: 

(a) The party seeking to disclose such information shall, before such disclosure, 

provide by facsimile or e-mail to the Designating Party: 

(1) The name of the person; 

(2) The present employer and title of the person; 

(3) A copy of the acknowledgment form annexed hereto as Exhibit A 

signed by the person; 

(4) For experts and consultants, a current resume and a list of general 

business descriptions of all companies for which the individual has 

consulted during the last four (4) years; and 

(5) For party employees, a detailed description of their job 

responsibilities. 

(b) Within three (3) business days of receipt of the information and written 

acknowledgment described in subparagraph 7(a), the Designating Party may object to the disclosure 

of “Confidential Information” or “Highly Confidential Information” to the proposed recipient by 

serving a written objection by either facsimile or e-mail. Within 14 calendar days from service of 

the written objection, the parties shall both (i) meet and confer telephonically to try to resolve the 

objection and (ii) if the parties are unable to resolve the objection, file a Joint Statement re 

Discovery Disagreement pursuant to L.R. 37-251. Any such statement must describe the 

circumstances with specificity, set forth in detail the reasons for which the disclosure to the 

proposed individual is reasonably necessary, assess the risk of harm that the disclosure would entail 

and suggest any additional means that might be used to reduce that risk. In any such proceeding the 

Party opposing disclosure shall bear the burden of proving that the risk of harm that the disclosure 

would entail (under the safeguards proposed) outweighs the moving Party’s need to disclose the 

“Confidential Information” or “Highly Confidential Information” to the proposed individual. 

Unless otherwise directed by the Court such motions shall be heard telephonically on the earliest

date available. Pending a ruling by the Court upon any such motion, the designated Discovery 

Material shall not be disclosed to the person objected to by the Designating Party. 

8. Notwithstanding the foregoing Paragraphs, Cargill may seek permission to disclose 

certain “Confidential Information” and “Highly Confidential Information” to its outside counsel in 

Burford v. Cargill, Inc., C.A. No. 05-0283 (W.D.La.) (“the Burford Action”), and persons working 

solely in secretarial, clerical and paralegal capacities and who are assisting Cargill’s outside counsel 

in the Burford Action, for use in that action only. The procedure for providing information 

designated “Confidential Information” or “Highly Confidential Information” for use by Cargill’s 

outside counsel in the Burford Action shall be as follows: 

(a) Cargill shall designate in writing what documents, testimony, and/or other 

information it believes is/are relevant to the Burford Action and shall provide that designation to the 

Designating Party and to the Progressive Defendants; 

(b) Within seven (7) calendar days of receipt of Cargill’s identification of 

information it believes is relevant to the Burford Action, the Designating Party and/or the 

Progressive Defendants may object by facsimile or e-mail to the disclosure of “Confidential 

Information” or “Highly Confidential Information” to Cargill’s outside counsel in the Burford 

Action. Within 14 calendar days from service of the written objection, the parties shall both (i) 

meet and confer telephonically to try to resolve the objection and (ii) if the parties are unable to 

resolve the objection, file a Joint Statement re Discovery Disagreement pursuant to L.R. 37-251. 

Any such motion must describe the need for disclosure and use of the designated materials, 

including the relevance of the materials to the Burford Action. In any such proceeding, Cargill shall 

bear the burden of demonstrating that the identified materials are relevant to the Burford Action. 

Unless otherwise directed by the Court such motions shall be heard telephonically on the earliest 

date available. Absent a Court order granting such a request or an agreement by the parties 

pursuant to this Paragraph, Cargill shall not disclose any “Confidential Information” or “Highly 

Confidential Information” to its outside counsel in the Burford Action. To the extent that Cargill is 

permitted to disclose “Confidential Information” or “Highly Confidential Information” to its outside 

counsel in the Burford Action pursuant to this Paragraph, it shall only do so once its outside counsel

in the Burford Action have executed a copy of the acknowledgment form annexed hereto as Exhibit 

A acknowledging that they have read this Protective Order and agree to be bound by its terms. 

9. Any party or non-party wishing to invoke the provisions of this Protective Order 

shall designate the Discovery Material, or portions thereof, which he, she or it considers 

confidential at the time such information is disclosed, or as soon thereafter as the person or entity 

seeking protection becomes aware of the nature of the information or materials disclosed and sought 

to be protected. With respect to physical Discovery Material, the items produced must be marked 

or stamped “Confidential Information” or “Highly Confidential Information,” on all pages where 

appropriate, by the producing party or non-party. In the case of Discovery Material stored on 

electronic media, the items produced shall be clearly marked or stamped on the media if possible. 

10. Parties or testifying persons may designate depositions and other testimony as 

“Confidential Information” or “Highly Confidential Information” by either indicating the 

designation on the record at the time the testimony is given or by sending written notice that the 

testimony is designated within ten (10) business days of receipt of the transcript of the testimony. 

All information disclosed during a deposition shall be treated as “Highly Confidential Information” 

until the time within which it may be designated as Confidential or Highly Confidential Information 

has passed. 

11. To the extent that any Confidential Information or Highly Confidential Information 

is used in the taking of a deposition, all such Discovery Material shall remain subject to the 

provisions of this Protective Order. If Confidential Information or Highly Confidential Information 

is used in any deposition, the reporter shall be informed of this Protective Order. In the event the 

deposition is recorded in video format, the original and all copies of the video shall be marked by 

the video technician to indicate that the video contains Confidential or Highly Confidential 

Information subject to this Protective Order. 

12. Any Discovery Material that has been designated as “Confidential Information” or 

“Highly Confidential Information” that is included with or the contents of which are in any way 

disclosed in any pleading, motion, deposition transcript, or other papers filed with the Clerk of the 

Court shall be filed under seal in accordance with Local Rule 39-141.

13. Where a discovery request or interrogatory to a party calls for otherwise discoverable 

information, and that party has an obligation to another person or entity to maintain the 

confidentiality of such information, the party to whom the discovery request or interrogatory is 

directed shall promptly: 

(a) identify to the party seeking the information the name and address of each 

person whose confidentiality interests are implicated by the discovery 

request, subpoena or deposition question, and 

(b) provide to each such person whose confidentiality interests are implicated: 

(1) notice of the request for disclosure of the materials or information 

held under obligations of confidentiality; and 

(2) a copy of this Protective Order. 

Nothing in this Protective Order obligates or requires a party to produce such information or 

material in violation of its obligations to third parties. 

14. Any individual, such as a deposition witness, trial witness, or potential witness may 

be shown designated materials by an attorney bound by this Protective Order in the following 

conditions: 

(a) if the individual is identified as a signatory, author, addressee or recipient of a 

copy; 

(b) if the individual is a current officer, director, or employee of a party and the 

document has been designated as Confidential or Highly Confidential 

Information by that party; 

(c) if the individual is a witness designated by a party pursuant to Rule 30(b)(6) 

of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the document has been 

designated as Confidential or Highly Confidential Information by that party; 

(d) if the individual is a testifying expert for a party and has complied with the 

provisions of Paragraph 6 hereto; or 

(e) if foundational questioning establishes that the individual previously had 

possession of or had previously reviewed such materials.

A party may use its own Confidential Information or Highly Confidential Information to examine or 

cross-examine any trial or deposition witness. 

15. A party or non-party providing documents or information that inadvertently fails to 

properly designate an item pursuant to this Protective Order may re-designate documents and 

information within a reasonable time after becoming aware of the improper designation. Such 

correction and notice thereof shall be made in writing, accompanied by substitute copies of each 

item, appropriately designated. The party receiving the substitute copies shall take reasonable 

efforts to return or destroy the previous unmarked items and all copies thereof promptly. 

16. If at any time during the pendency or trial of this action, counsel for any party claims 

that Discovery Material is not appropriately designated, objecting counsel may serve a notice of 

objection on all parties and other affected persons, identifying with particularity the Discovery 

Material as to which the designation is challenged, stating the basis for each challenge, and 

proposing a new designation for each item. Within seven (7) calendar days of receiving such 

notice, the Designating Party shall respond in writing served by facsimile or e-mail, and either agree 

to the new designation proposed by the objecting party or explain why the designation should not be 

changed. If the Designating Party and the objecting party cannot resolve the dispute through 

telephonic meet and confer discussions, the objecting party may move for an order from the Court 

for redesignation. The Designating Party shall have the burden to justify the original designation. 

The original designation shall remain effective until agreement by the parties or entry of an order 

redesignating the materials. 

17. If Confidential Information or Highly Confidential Information is disclosed to any 

person other than in the manner authorized by this Order, the person responsible for the disclosure 

must immediately bring all pertinent facts relating to such disclosure to the attention of counsel for 

the Designating Party, and, without prejudice to any other rights and remedies of the parties, make 

every effort to prevent further disclosure by it or by the person who was the recipient of such 

information. Each individual who receives Discovery Material pursuant to this Protective Order 

hereby agrees to be subject to the jurisdiction of this Court for the purpose of any proceedings 

related to performance under, compliance with, or violation of this Protective Order.

18. Inadvertent production of Discovery Material subject to the attorney-client privilege 

or attorney work-product protection will not automatically waive the attorney-client privilege or 

attorney work-product protection. Upon a timely request from a party which has inadvertently 

produced Discovery Material which it believes should be subject to the attorney-client privilege or 

work-product privilege, each person receiving said Discovery Material shall immediately destroy or 

return all copies of such material. 

19. Nothing in this Stipulated Protective Order limits or expands the right of a Party to 

seek to introduce Discovery Material designated pursuant to this Protective Order into evidence at 

trial, or to use it at trial for any other lawful purpose, including impeachment. The Court may apply 

restrictions, if it deems appropriate, on the use of such Discovery Material introduced into evidence 

at trial, and on public access to such Discovery Material. Any Party seeking such a restriction, 

including but not limited to an order closing the courtroom and excluding members of the public, 

must file an appropriate motion, unless that Court determines that such an order is unnecessary, or 

the confidentiality of such information has been removed by agreement of the Designating Party or 

by a Court. 

20. The terms of this Protective Order shall apply to all manner and means of discovery, 

including entry onto land or premises and inspection of books, records, documents, tangible things, 

and electronic data. 

21. Unless the parties stipulate otherwise, evidence of the existence or nonexistence of a 

designation under this Protective Order shall not be admissible for any purpose, nor shall the 

designation or acceptance of any information designated pursuant to this Protective Order constitute 

an admission or acknowledgment that the material so designated is in fact proprietary, confidential, 

or a trade secret. 

22. Upon termination, settlement or final judgment including exhaustion of all appeals of 

this action, the originals and all copies of Confidential Information or Highly Confidential 

Information shall be either destroyed or turned over to the party or non-party who produced such 

material, or to their respective counsel, within thirty (30) days; except that, in the case of the four 

individuals identified in Paragraph 6, or any subsequent replacement(s) for such individuals, any

Highly Confidential Information disclosed to such individuals shall be turned over to Cargill’s 

outside counsel within thirty (30) days for return or destruction, and Cargill’s outside counsel must 

return or certify destruction of such Highly Confidential Information to counsel for the Progressive 

Defendants within fourteen (14) days of receipt. In addition, if Cargill discloses any “Confidential 

Information” or “Highly Confidential Information” to its outside counsel in the Burford Action 

pursuant to Paragraph 8, such outside counsel may retain those materials received pursuant to 

paragraph 8 until thirty (30) days after termination, settlement or final judgment including 

exhaustion of all appeals of the Burford Action, at which time the originals and all copies of 

Confidential or Highly Confidential Information shall be either destroyed or turned over to the party 

or non-party who produced such material, or to their respective counsel. Additionally, counsel for 

the parties, including in-house counsel, may retain pleadings, attorney and consultant work product, 

and depositions for archival purposes; except that, in-house counsel may not retain any materials 

containing the Highly Confidential Information of the Progressive Defendants, including any 

materials produced by third parties that have been designated Highly Confidential by the 

Progressive Defendants. If Confidential Information or Highly Confidential Information is 

destroyed pursuant to this Paragraph, counsel shall provide to opposing counsel a certification 

confirming that the destruction was performed. 

23. If at any time Discovery Material is subpoenaed by any court, arbitral, administrative 

or legislative body, the person to whom the subpoena or other request is directed shall immediately 

give written notice thereof to each Designating Party and to its counsel and shall provide each such 

party with an opportunity to object to the production of confidential materials. If a Designating 

Party does not move for a protective order within ten (10) business days of the date written notice is
