STIPULATED [PROPOSED] PROTECTIVE ORDER,

CASE NO. 5:19-mc-80131-SVK

-1-

Pursuant to the Special Master’s Amended Report and Recommendations Regarding 

Discovery Dispute (“Special Master’s Report”), as adopted by the Court on February 20, 2020, 

Movant Personal Genome Diagnostics, Inc. (“PGDx”) and Respondents Wilson Sonsini Goodrich 

& Rosati, P.C. (“WSGR”) and Vern Norviel (together with WSGR, “Respondents”) enter into and 

respectfully submit for the Court’s approval the following Stipulated Protective Order Governing 

Materials Produced as “Attorneys’ Eyes Only” (“Protective Order”). 

1. This Protective Order shall govern Respondents’ production of documents (the

“Discovery Material”) solely for the purposes set forth in the Special Master’s Report. The 

documents constituting Discovery Material for purposes of this agreement are Bates-numbered: 

a. WSGR-SM000030-004183;

b. WSGR-SM004185-008338;

c. WSGR-SM008340-008462;

d. WSGR-SM008734-008738;

e. WSGR-SM008739-008742;

f. WSGR-SM010947-011072; and

g. WSGR-SM011264-011389.

2. The Discovery Material subject to this Protective Order shall be stamped

“Attorneys’ Eyes Only” and shall be produced to and reviewed by PGDx’s outside counsel. Unless 

otherwise ordered by the Court or permitted in writing by Respondents, PGDx’s outside counsel 

shall not provide, disseminate, or characterize the Discovery Material to anyone else, including 

any in-house counsel at PGDx, except that PGDx’s outside counsel is permitted to use the 

Discovery Material at the depositions of Vern Norviel and Jeffrey Seidel, and in connection with 

a motion seeking leave to use Discovery Material as evidence, as provided for in the Special 

Master’s Report. 

a. Outside counsel shall mean (i) counsel who has been retained by a Party for

the action captioned, Guardant Health, Inc. v. Personal Genome Diagnostics. Inc., 1:17-cv01623 (D. Del) (the “Delaware Action”) or this action and who is not a current employee of

reasonably necessary to disclose the information for this litigation, including supporting 

personnel employed by the attorneys, such as paralegals, legal secretaries, and legal clerks. 

3. Absent order of the Court or written permission by Respondents, the Discovery

Material produced may be reviewed by PGDx’s outside counsel solely for the purposes set forth 

in the Special Master’s Report, and for no other purpose. The Discovery Material may not be 

used, disseminated, or characterized by PGDx’s outside counsel for any other purpose absent order 

of the Court or written permission by Respondents. The use of the Discovery Material as specified 

herein does not constitute waiver of any claim of privilege or work product protection that may 

exist. 

4. Likewise, the disclosure, production, dissemination, or characterization of

documents under this Protective Order, whether inadvertent or otherwise, shall not be a waiver of 

any privilege or protection. 

5. Absent order of the Court, written permission by Respondents or a pending motion

seeking leave to use Discovery Material as evidence subject to this Protective Order, all Discovery 

Material subject to this Protective Order shall be destroyed within twenty-one (21) days after the 

scheduled depositions, and written confirmation shall be provided of the same. Absent order of 

the Court or written permission by Respondents, Discovery Material shall not be quoted, 

summarized, characterized, or attached to any document filed or submitted to the court in the 

Delaware Action, this action, or any other action except in connection with a motion seeking leave 

to use Discovery Material as evidence, as provided for in the Special Master’s Report. 

6. Absent order of the Court or written permission by Respondents, testimony given in

depositions referencing the Discovery Material shall also be designated and treated as “Attorneys’ 

Eyes Only,” and, absent further order of the Court or written permission by Respondents, shall be 

covered by the provisions of this Protective Order.
