CASE NO: CR 14-149 RS

STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] PROTECTIVE 

ORDER

Pursuant to Fed. R. Crim. P. 16(d), the United States and the defendant, through undersigned 

counsel, hereby stipulate and agree that the Court should issue the proposed Protective Order requiring 

that all documents and other materials produced by the government to the defendants be subject to the 

following conditions:

1. Protected Material

The government anticipates producing a large volume of documents in this case. Portions of the 

discovery include confidential information relating to third parties. 

To expedite discovery, and avoid any potential delay which might result from redacting all 

confidential information from the documents prior to their production, the parties have agreed that, at 

present, all documents and materials produced by the government shall be deemed “Protected Material.”

Possession of copies of the Protected Material shall be limited to the defendant and his attorneys,

including any investigators, paralegals, law clerks, assistants and other persons who are within the 

attorney-client privilege (hereinafter collectively referred to as "members of the defense team"). The 

defendant, his attorneys and the members of his defense team may use the Protected Material for any 

purpose consistent with defending against the allegations in the Indictment. The defendant, his attorneys 

and the members of his defense team may show the Protected Material to witnesses or prospective 

witnesses in conjunction with their defense of this case. The defendant, his attorneys and the members 

of his defense team agree not to share, duplicate or give copies of the Protected Material to other 

persons, however. 

Pursuant to Fed. R. Crim. P. 16(d)(1), the parties may, for good cause shown, seek an order 

modifying this Protective Order to, for example, exclude certain documents from the category of 

Protected Material, and nothing about this stipulation and order shall constrain the ability of the parties 

to seek, or the ability of the Court to grant, such relief. 

2. Court Filings

The parties further agree that they will make good faith efforts to undertake all reasonable and 

practicable steps to prevent the public disclosure in court filings of confidential information (including, 

but not limited to, social security numbers, phone numbers, addresses, email addresses, driver license 

numbers) that is contained in the Protected Material. Such steps may include, but are not limited to, 

filing under seal, redacting or coding the information.

3. Return of Protected Material

The defendant, his attorneys and the members of his defense team shall return all Protected 

Material provided pursuant to this Protective Order to the government within ninety (90) calendar days 

after any one of the following events, whichever occurs latest in time: (a) dismissal of all charges 

against the defendant; (b) defendant’s acquittal after trial by court or jury; (c) if defendant is convicted, 

the expiration of the time period in which a direct appeal may be taken; (d) if a direct appeal is taken, the 

date on which any such appeal is finally determined; and, (e) expiration of time for the defendant’s

application for habeas corpus relief. 

The government will maintain a copy of all Protected Material in compliance with its normal 

document retention policies.
