STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

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 prosecuting this litigation 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

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.

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 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 or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL ATTORNEYS EYES ONLY at the

top 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) and must specify, for each

portion, the level of protection being asserted (either CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY

CONFIDENTIAL ATTORNEYS EYES ONLY ). 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 HIGHLY

CONFIDENTIAL ATTORNEYS EYES ONLY. 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 appropriate legend ( CONFIDENTIAL

or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL ATTORNEYS EYES ONLY ) at the top 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) and must specify, for each portion, the level of protection

being asserted (either CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL ATTORNEYS

EYES ONLY ). (b) for testimony given in deposition or in other pretrial or trial

proceedings, that the Party or non-party offering or sponsoring the testimony identify on the

record, before the close of the deposition, hearing, or other proceeding, all protected testimony, and further specify any portions of the testimony that qualify as HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL

ATTORNEYS EYES ONLY. When it is impractical to identify separately each portion of

testimony that is entitled to protection, and when it appears that substantial portions of the

testimony may qualify for protection, the Party or non-party that sponsors, offers, or gives the

testimony may invoke on the record (before the deposition or proceeding is concluded) a right to

have up to 20 days to identify the specific portions of the testimony as to which protection is

sought and to specify the level of protection being asserted ( CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL ATTORNEYS EYES ONLY ). Only those portions of the testimony that

are appropriately designated for protection within the 20 days shall be covered by the provisions

of this Stipulated Protective Order.

Transcript pages containing Protected Material must be separately bound

by the court reporter, who must affix to the top of each such page the legend CONFIDENTIAL

or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL ATTORNEYS EYES ONLY, as instructed by the Party or

non-party offering or sponsoring the witness or presenting the 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 or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL ATTORNEYS EYES ONLY. If only

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

practicable, shall identify the protected portions, specifying whether they qualify as

Confidential or as Highly Confidential Attorneys Eyes Only. 5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent

failure to designate qualified information or items as Confidential or Highly Confidential

Attorneys Eyes Only 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 Highly Confidential Attorneys Eyes Only 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; other forms of communication are 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.

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

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

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 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

7.4 Procedures for Approving Disclosure of HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL

ATTORNEYS EYES ONLY Information or Items to Experts

(a) Unless otherwise ordered by the court or agreed in writing by the

Designating Party, a Party that seeks to disclose to an Expert (as defined in this Order) any

information or item that has been designated HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL ATTORNEYS

EYES ONLY first must make a written request to the Designating Party that (1) identifies the

specific HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL information that the Receiving Party seeks permission to

disclose to the Expert, (2) sets forth the full name of the Expert and the city and state of his or her 

primary residence, (3) attaches a copy of the Expert s current resume, (4) identifies the Expert s

current employer(s), (5) identifies each person or entity from whom the Expert has received

compensation for work in his or her areas of expertise or to whom the expert has provided

professional services at any time during the preceding five years, and (6) identifies (by name and

number of the case, filing date, and location of court) any litigation in connection with which the

Expert has provided any professional services during the preceding five years.

(b) A Party that makes a request and provides the information specified 

in the preceding paragraph may disclose the subject Protected Material to the identified Expert

unless, within seven court days of delivering the request, the Party receives a written objection

from the Designating Party. Any such objection must set forth in detail the grounds on which it is

based.

(c) A Party that receives a timely written objection must meet and

confer with the Designating Party (through direct voice to voice dialogue) to try to resolve the

matter by agreement. If no agreement is reached, the Party seeking to make the disclosure to the

Expert may file a motion as provided in Civil Local Rule 7 (and in compliance with Civil Local

Rule 79-5, if applicable) seeking permission from the court to do so. Any such motion must

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

to the Expert 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 addition, any such motion

must be accompanied by a competent declaration in which the movant describes the parties

efforts to resolve the matter by agreement (i.e., the extent and the content of the meet and confer

discussions) and sets forth the reasons advanced by the Designating Party for its refusal to

approve the disclosure.

In any such proceeding the Party opposing disclosure to the Expert shall

bear the burden of proving that the risk of harm that the disclosure would entail (under the

safeguards proposed) outweighs the Receiving Party s need to disclose the Protected Material to

its Expert.

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 or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL ATTORNEYS EYES ONLY, the

Receiving Party must so notify the Designating Party, in writing (by fax, 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 Acknowledgment and

Agreement to Be Bound 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.
