Judge: Honorable Laurel Beeler 

The parties, by and through their respective attorneys of record, hereby stipulate 

to the following protective order being issued in this matter: 

1. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS 

Disclosure and discovery activity in this action are likely to involve production of 

confidential 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 

confidential. The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 10, below, that this 

Stipulated Protective Order creates no entitlement to file confidential information under seal;

5. 

5.1 

DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL 

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 routine 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, 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 "FOR ATTORNEY'S EYES ONLY" at the top of each page that 

contains protected material and/or the first page of stapled/clipped materials if it is a group of 

related documents. 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 that it is 

"CONFIDENTIAL" or "FOR ATTORNEY'S 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. 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 designation "CONFIDENTIAL" or "FOR 

ATTORNEY'S 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 must 

clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins) 

and must specify that the material is "CONFIDENTIAL" or "FOR ATTORNEY'S 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 "CONFIDENTIAL." 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 twenty (20) days to identify the specific portions 

of the testimony as "CONFIDENTIAL." 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," 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 'FOR 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 the material as "CONFIDENTIAL" or "ATTORNEYS EYES 

ONLY".

5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent failure to 

designate qualified information or items as "CONFIDENTIAL" or "FOR ATTORNEY'S EYES 

ONL Y"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 

"FOR ATTORNEY'S 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 this Order. 

5.4 Privilege Logs. If a party withholds information that is responsive to a discovery 

request by claiming that it is privileged or otherwise protected from discovery, that party shall 

promptly prepare and provide a privilege log that is sufficiently detailed and informative for the 

opposing party to assess whether a document's designation as privileged is justified. See 

Fed.R.Civ.P. 26(b )(5). The privilege log shall set forth the privilege relied upon and specify 

separately for each document or for each category of similarly situated documents: 

(a) the title and description of the document, including number of pages or Batesnumber range; 

(b) the subject matter addressed in the document; 

(c) the identity and position of its author(s); 

(d) the identity and position of all addressees and recipients; 

(e) the date the document was prepared and, if different, the date(s) on which it 

was sent to or shared with persons other than its author(s); and 

(f) the specific basis for the claim that the document is privileged and protected. 

Communications involving trial counsel that post-date the filing of the complaint need 

not be placed on a privilege log. Failure to furnish this information promptly may be deemed a 

waiver of the privilege of protection.

6.1 

CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS 

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 either in person or by telephone, and may not meet and confer by letter, email or fax, 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. 

6.3 Judicial Intervention. If disagreements remain regarding a designation, the parties 

shall file a joint letter no later than five business days after the meet and confer session, unless 

otherwise directed by the court. Lead trial counsel for both parties must sign the letter, 

which shall include an attestation that the parties met and conferred in person or by telephone 

regarding all issues prior to filing the letter. Going issue-by-issue, the joint letter shall describe 

each unresolved issue, summarize each party's position with appropriate legal authority; and 

provide each party's final proposed compromise before moving to the next issue. The joint letter 

shall not exceed ten pages without leave of court. Parties are expected to plan for and 

cooperate in preparing the joint letter so that each side has adequate time to address the 

arguments. In the rare instance that a joint letter is not possible, each side may submit a letter 

not to exceed four pages, which shall include an ·explanation of why a joint letter was not 

possible. The parties shall submit one exhibit to the letter that only sets forth each disputed 

designation in full, followed immediately by the objections and/or responses thereto. No other 

information shall be included in any such exhibit. No other exhibits shall be submitted without 

prior approval by the court. The court will review the submission(s) and determine whether 

formal briefing or proceedings are necessary. Discovery letter briefs must bee-filed under the 

Civil Events category of Motions and Related Filings > Motions - General > "Discovery

Letter Brief". 

In the event that a hearing is ordered, the court expects counsel to appear in person. 

Permission for a party to attend by telephone may be granted, in the court's discretion, upon 

written request made at least one week in advance of the hearing if the court deterinines that 

good cause exists to excuse personal attendance, and that personal attendance is not needed in 

order to have an effective discovery hearing. The facts establishing good cause must be set forth 

in the request. 

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 treat the material in 

question as "CONFIDENTIAL." 

7. 

7.1 

ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 

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). Information designated "FOR ATTORNEYS EYES ONLY" may 

only be disclosed to ATTORNEYS representing the parties. 

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 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; 

(b) the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel) of the 

28 Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation;

(c) experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom 

disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation; 

(d) the Court and its personnel; 

(e) court reporters, their staffs, and professional vendors to whom disclosure 

is reasonably necessary for this litigation; 

(f) during their depositions, witnesses in the action to whom disclosure is 

reasonably necessary. Pages of transcribed deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that 

reveal Protected Material must be separately bound by the court reporter and may not be 

disclosed to anyone except as permitted under this Stipulated Protective Order. 

(g) the author of the document or the original source of the information. 

7.3 Disclosure of "FOR ATTORNEY'S EYES ONLY" Information or Items. Unless 

otherwise ordered by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, any information 

or item designated "FOR ATTORNEY'S EYES ONLY" will not be disclosed to any party or 

witness, or any other person without first obtaining agreement from the designating party or the 

Court. 

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 "FOR ATTORNEYS EYES ONLY" the Receiving Party must so notify 

the Designating Party, in writing (by fax and/or e-mail) 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 of 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.

The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a Non-Party in this 

action and designated as "CONFIDENTIAL" or "FOR ATTORNEYS EYES ONLY" Such 

information produced by Non-Parties in connection with this litigation is protected by the 

remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in these provisions should be construed as 

prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional protections. 

In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to produce a 

Non-Party's confidential information in its possession, and the Party is subject to an agreement 

with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party's confidential information, then the Party shall: 

(I) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party 

that some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality agreement 

with a Non-Party; 

(2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated 

Protective Order in this litigation, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably 

specific description of the information requested; and 

(3) make the information requested available for inspection by the 

Non-Party.

If the Non-Party fails to object or seek a protective order from this court within 14 

days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party may produce 

the Non-Party's confidential information responsive to the discovery request. If.the Non-Party 

timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall not produce any information in its 

possession or control that is subject to the confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a 

determination by the court. 1 Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the 

burden and expense of seeking protection in this court of its Protected Material. 

10. 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 be bound by the Stipulated 

Protective Order. 

11. 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. 

12. FINAL DISPOSITION 

Unless otherwise ordered or agreed in writing by the Producing Party, within sixty (60) 

days after the final termination of this action, defined as the dismissal or entry of judgment by 

the district court, or if an appeal is filed, the disposition of the appeal, each Receiving Party must
