joint motion and stipulation of the parties, and for good cause shown,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT:

1. Confidential Information. All documents produced by Hartford in

discovery shall be considered “Confidential Information,” whether or not they are

stamped or otherwise specifically designated as such. No Confidential Information shall

be used for any purpose other than in connection with this case and any appeals arising

therefrom. No Confidential Information shall be disclosed to any other person, party,

entity, agency, print or electronic media, or anyone outside this proceeding for any

purpose.

2. Use of Confidential Information. Confidential Information shall be used

only in connection with these proceedings and any appeals arising therefrom. No

Confidential Information shall be used for any purpose other than in connection with this

case and any appeals arising therefrom. No Confidential Information shall be disclosed

to any other person, party, entity, agency, print, or electronic media, or anyone outside

this proceeding for any purpose.

3. Filing Confidential Information. The Court will determine on a caseby-case basis whether information designated as “Confidential” or “Subject to Protective

Order” shall be filed under seal. Any party wishing to file such information as part of a

motion, brief, appellate pleadings or brief, or related matter (unless otherwise agreed by

the parties or ordered by the Court) shall contact the Court for such determination prior to

filing.

4. Return of Confidential Information. Upon the final determination of

this action, including the expiration of time for any further appeals, whether by judgment,

settlement, or otherwise:

a. Counsel for plaintiff shall either return to defendant all Confidential Information

and all notes, memoranda, copies, abstracts, excerpts, or other items containing or based on

Confidential Information within thirty (30) days;

b. All persons who received any Confidential Information shall return to defendant

all copies of Confidential Information that are in the possession of such person(s), together with

all notes, copies, abstracts, excerpts, memoranda, or other items containing or based on

Confidential Information, and counsel for the designating party shall dispose of the documents

and things in accordance with paragraph 2.a. above; and

c. Counsel for plaintiff shall confirm in writing that all Confidential Information,

together with all notes, copies, abstracts, memoranda, excerpts, or other items containing or

based on Confidential Information, have been returned to defendant in accordance with the terms

of paragraphs 3.a. and 3.b. above.

5. No Admission. Nothing in this Order shall be construed as an admission

on the part of either party as to the relevance, authenticity, foundation, or admissibility of

any document, material, transcript, or other information.

6. Duration. The confidentiality obligations imposed by this Order shall

remain in effect unless otherwise expressly ordered by the Court.
