PROTECTIVE ORDER 

Pursuant to Rule 29 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and 

according to the stipulation of the parties, it is ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND 

DECREED as follows: 

1. Any documents produced by a party in this action which are, in 

good faith, determined by the producing party to contain confidential or 

proprietary information, including financial information, trade secrets, personnel 

information, or other similar confidential and commercially sensitive 

information of a non-public nature, may be designated by the producing party as 

“confidential,” and so marked, by stamping each page of the document 

“Confidential.” In the case of photographs, the reverse side of the photograph 

may be marked as “Confidential.” In the case of CD-Rom materials, the 

container may be marked as “Confidential.” 

2. Where documents obtained from any source are used in discovery 

or depositions as exhibits, either party may designate such documents 

“Confidential” by so stating on the record, and designating the original exhibit 

as “Confidential” in writing on each page of the exhibit.

3. When used in this Order, the word “documents” means all written, 

recorded or graphic matter whatsoever, however created and the medium on 

which it was produced or reproduced, including, but not limited to, documents 

produced by any party, whether pursuant to discovery rules, subpoena, or by 

agreement, and may also include deposition transcripts and exhibits, and any 

portions of any court papers which quote from or summarize any of the 

foregoing. 

4. All confidential documents and all information contained therein, 

shall be used by the party to whom the documents are disclosed solely for the 

prosecution and/or defense of this action, and shall not be further disseminated, 

except as specifically set forth below. 

5. Except with prior written consent of the party asserting confidential 

treatment, confidential documents and the information contained therein may be 

disclosed only to counsel who files an appearance for the party to whom the 

confidential disclosure has or is to be made, and secretaries, paralegal assistants, 

and other employees of such counsel who are assisting counsel in the 

prosecution and/or defense of this action. Counsel shall be responsible for 

ensuring that his or her partners, associates and employees are informed of the 

terms of this Order and agree to abide by them. 

6. Counsel to whom confidential documents or information have been 

disclosed may disclose the information to his or her client in this action, and to 

witnesses and outside consultants and experts who assist in the prosecution 

and/or defense of this action, but only after the client, witness, consultant or 

expert has read this Order and agrees in writing to be bound by it, as set forth in 

Exhibit A. Upon Order of this Court, for good cause shown, these agreements 

shall be available for inspection by counsel for the party producing the 

confidential documents.

moving the Court to remove the confidential designation from a particular
