the transcript or information), of the specific pages and lines of the transcripts that are to be 

designated Confidential Information. Each party shall attach a copy of such written statement to the 

face of the transcript and each copy thereof in its possession, custody or control. Whether or not

the record at the deposition or other proceeding that such Confidential Information is subject to the

AGREEMENT TO COMPLY WITH PROTECTIVE ORDER

I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America and the 

State of California that I have read and agree to comply with and be bound by the terms of the 

Protective Order entered on __________, 2010, in Marilyn Jo Chinivasagam v. Equilon Enterprises, 

LLC, dba Shell Oil Products US, et al., United States District Court for the Northern District of 

California, Case No. 5:09-CV-03136-JW (PVT) [Docket ____.] I hereby consent to the jurisdiction 

of said Court for purposes of enforcing this Order. 

Date:

16. Counsel for the party obtaining a person’s signature pursuant to the form described in 

Paragraph 15 shall retain the original signed and dated acknowledgment. 

17. If a “Receiving Party” (a party who has received disclosures or discovery material 

from a Producing 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” (the party that designates the information as “CONFIDENTIAL”) 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.

18. 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. Absent a court order with regard to a specific document, all documents 

submitted to the court in connection with any kind of motion, application, petition, or other pretrial 

proceeding must be filed, not lodged. 

12

13

14

15

16

17

19. Subject to public policy, and further court order, nothing shall be filed under seal, and 

the Court shall not be required to take any action, without separate prior order by the Judge before 

whom the hearing or proceeding will take place, after application by the affected party with 

appropriate notice to opposing counsel, in accordance with the United States District Court, Northern 

District of California Local Rule 79.5. In the event a party wishes to have documents filed under 

seal, that party shall also take all reasonable steps to preserve the continued confidentiality of that 

material. 

19

20

21

22

23

24

20. If the Court grants a party permission to file an item under seal, a duplicate disclosing 

all non-confidential information shall be filed and made part of the public record. The item may be 

redacted to eliminate confidential material from the document. The document shall be titled to show 

that it corresponds to an item filed under seal, e.g., “Redacted Copy of Sealed Declaration of John 

Smith in Support of Motion for Summary Judgment.” The sealed and redacted documents shall be 

filed simultaneously. Any documents to be filed under seal must be limited to only those documents, 

or portions thereof, necessary to protect such sensitive information. 

26

27

28

21. Confidential or Attorneys’ Eyes Only Information obtained from a Producing Party 

pursuant to pretrial discovery in this action, may be used and disclosed only for purposes of this 

action. No person or party shall make any other use of any such Information, including, but not 

limited to, use for commercial or competitive purposes or use in any other legal proceeding, except

as permitted by a Court order. All Confidential Information shall be held in confidence by those 

inspecting or receiving it. Counsel for each party, and each person receiving Confidential 

Information, shall take reasonable precautions to prevent the unauthorized or inadvertent disclosure 

of such information. If Confidential Information is disclosed to any person other than a person 

authorized by this Order, the party responsible for the unauthorized disclosure must immediately 

bring all pertinent facts relating to the unauthorized disclosure to the attention of the other parties 

and, without prejudice to any rights and remedies of the other parties, make every effort to prevent 

further disclosure by the party and by the person(s) receiving the unauthorized disclosure.

22. Nothing herein shall be construed as an agreement or admission: (a) that any 

information, document or the like, designated as Confidential or Attorneys’ Eyes Only Information is 

in fact confidential or a trade secret; (b) with respect to the competency, relevance, materiality, or 

admissibility of any such information, document or the like; (c) that any document or information is 

subject to production.

materials as Confidential Information or Attorneys’ Eyes Only Information. The party objecting to 

the designation shall notify counsel for the designating party and identify in writing with reasonable 

specificity, the objected-to materials and the grounds for the objection. The parties shall attempt to 

resolve any such dispute by meeting and conferring. If the dispute is not resolved by stipulation 

between the parties within ten (10) business days of receipt of such a notice of objections, the 

objecting party may apply to the Court for a determination of the issue. The materials at issue shall 

be treated as Confidential Information or Attorneys’ Eyes Only Information, as designated by the 

designated party, until the Court has ruled on the objection or the matter has otherwise been 

resolved.

25

26

27

28

24. The inadvertent or unintentional failure by a Producing Party to designate specific 

documents or materials as containing Confidential or Attorneys’ Eyes Only Information shall not be 

deemed a waiver in whole or in part of a party’s claim of confidentiality as to such documents or 

materials. Upon notice to the receiving party of such failure to designate, the receiving party shall 

cooperate to restore the confidentiality of the inadvertently disclosed information, without prejudice.

Information to the Producing Party, including any copies, excerpts, and summaries thereof, or shall 

destroy same at the option of the producing party, and shall purge all such information from all 

machine-readable media on which it resides. Notwithstanding the foregoing, counsel for each party 

may retain all pleadings, briefs, memoranda, motions, and other documents filed with the Court that 

refer to or incorporate Confidential or Attorneys’ Eyes Only Information, and will continue to be 

bound by this Protective Order with respect to all such retained information. Further, attorney work 

product materials that contain Confidential or Attorneys’ Eyes Only Information need not be 

destroyed, but if they are not destroyed, the person in possession of the attorney work product will 

continue to be bound by this Protective Order with respect to all such retained information.

information with that individual or entity.

the Producing Party consents in writing to such disclosure, or if the Court, after notice to all affected 

parties, orders such disclosure.

purposes herein.
