IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between Defendants DNC Parks & 

Resorts at Tenaya, Inc., Delaware North Companies Parks & Resorts, Inc., and 

Delaware North Companies, Incorporated (collectively, “Defendants”) and 

Plaintiff Timothy Simms (“Plaintiff”) (hereinafter collectively referred to as the 

“Parties”), through their respective counsel of record, that a Protective Order be 

entered by this Court as follows: 

This Stipulation and Protective Order shall be applicable to and shall apply 

to the production and exchange of all document requests and documents, 

interrogatories and answers to interrogatories, depositions, requests for admission 

and responses to requests for admission, exhibits, and pleadings and all other 

information exchanged and furnished in this action by the Parties that the Parties 

customarily treat as confidential, private, proprietary, and/or a trade secret as 

defined by California Civil Code Section 3426.1. 

1. SCOPE 

(a) The Parties acknowledge that discovery may require disclosure of 

information that is private and personal or confidential and proprietary, specifically 

personnel records, personnel policies, employment offers, competitive analyses, 

income statements, employee, client, or customer personal information (including, 

but not limited to medical, social security number and contact information), 

medical records, and financial records and statements, along with other trade secret 

information as defined in California Civil Code Section 3426.1. As a result, the 

Parties agree to enter into a Protective Order on the following terms to ensure the 

continuing confidentiality of such information. The Parties further acknowledge 

that this Protective 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.

(b) This Protective Order shall limit the use or disclosure of documents, 

deposition testimony, and related information which are or which embody or 

disclose any information falling with the scope of Paragraph (1)(a) and designated 

hereunder as “Confidential,” and shall apply to: 

(i) All such documents, including those produced by third parties, 

designated as “Confidential” in accordance with the terms of this Protective Order 

and the applicable legal standards; 

(ii) Portions of deposition testimony and transcripts and exhibits 

thereto which include, refer or relate to any Confidential Information; 

(iii) All information, copies, extracts and complete or partial 

summaries prepared or derived from Confidential Information; and 

(iv) Portions of briefs, memoranda or any writing filed with or 

otherwise supplied to the Court, which include or refer to any such Confidential 

Information. 

(c) Any person designating documents, testimony, or other information as 

“Confidential” hereunder asserts that he or she believes in good faith that such 

material is Confidential Information which falls within the scope of Paragraph 

(1)(a) and is not otherwise available to the public generally. Each Party or nonparty 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. 

2. DESIGNATION OF DOCUMENTS AND DEPOSITIONS 

(a) Designation of a document as “Confidential” shall be made by 

stamping or writing CONFIDENTIAL on the document(s). Alternatively, the 

Case 1:13-cv-02075-SMS Document 32 Filed 03/04/15 Page 3 of 15

Parties may designate documents as “Confidential” by producing the documents 

with a letter designating the documents by Bates number as “Confidential.” The 

Parties shall make all reasonable effort to designate as “Confidential” only those 

documents that they reasonably believe constitute personnel records, personnel 

policies, employment offers, competitive analyses, income statements, employee, 

client or customer personal information, medical records, financial records and 

statements, and trade secret information as defined in California Civil Code 

Section 3426.1. The failure to designate documents as “Confidential” at the time 

of production shall not constitute a waiver of the protection of this Order and any 

Party may, at any time up to 30 days before the actual trial date in this action, 

designate any documents or information produced as “Confidential” that have not 

as yet been so designated. Stamping the legend “Confidential” on the cover of any 

multi-page document shall designate all pages of the document as confidential, 

unless otherwise indicated by the Designating Party, but only if the entire 

document is produced in a bound or otherwise intact manner. 

(b) Designation of a deposition or other pretrial testimony, or portions 

thereof, as “Confidential” shall be made by a statement on the record by counsel 

for the Party or other person making the claim of confidentiality at the time of such 

testimony. The portions of depositions so designated as “Confidential” shall be 

taken only in the presence of persons qualified to receive such information 

pursuant to the terms of this Protective Order: the Parties and their attorneys and 

staff, the court reporter, videographer, the deponent, and the deponent’s attorney. 

Failure of any other person to comply with a request to leave the deposition room 

will constitute sufficient justification for the witness to refuse to answer any 

question calling for disclosure of Confidential Information so long as persons are 

in attendance who are not entitled by this Protective Order to have access to such 

information. In order to designate material as Confidential Information, the Parties 

may, but need not, instruct the court reporter to segregate such portions of the 

Case 1:13-cv-02075-SMS Document 32 Filed 03/04/15 Page 4 of 15

deposition in a separate transcript designated as “Confidential.” Portions of such 

deposition transcripts shall be clearly marked as “Confidential” on the cover or on 

each page, as appropriate. 

(c) Any Party may designate documents produced or portions of 

depositions taken as containing Confidential Information even if not initially 

marked as “Confidential” in accordance with the terms of this Protective Order by 

so advising counsel for each Party in writing and by reproducing said documents 

with the required confidential designation. Thereafter, each such document or 

transcript shall be treated in accordance with the terms of this Protective Order; 

provided, however, that there shall be no liability for any disclosure or use of such 

documents or transcripts, or the Confidential Information contained therein, which 

occurred prior to actual receipt of such written notice. Any person who receives 

actual notice of any such designation of previously produced documents or 

deposition transcripts as containing Confidential Information shall thereafter treat 

such information as if it had been designated as “Confidential” at the time he, she, 

or it first received it in connection with this matter. 

(d) Inadvertent failure to designate Confidential Information shall not be 

construed as a waiver, in whole or in part, and may be corrected by the producing 

party by designating documents produced or portions of depositions taken as 

containing Confidential Information, even if not initially marked as “Confidential,” 

in accordance with the terms of this Protective Order and, specifically, Paragraph 

2(c) above. 

3. LIMITATIONS ON DISCLOSURE OF CONFIDENTIAL 

INFORMATION 

(a) No Confidential Information shall be disclosed by anyone receiving 

such information to anyone other than those persons designated herein. In no 

event shall Confidential Information be used, either directly or indirectly, by 

anyone receiving such information for any business, commercial or competitive

purpose or for any purpose whatsoever other than the direct furtherance of the 

litigation of this action in accordance with the provisions of this Protective Order. 

(b) Confidential Information shall not be disclosed by any person who has 

received such information through discovery in this action to any other person, 

except to: 

(i) The Parties; 

(ii) Attorneys of record for the Parties and their firms’ associates, 

clerks and other employees involved in the conduct of this litigation, and any court 

reporters, videographers, or interpreters engaged to assist the parties in discovery; 

(iii) DNC Parks & Resorts at Tenaya, Inc., Delaware North Parks & 

Resorts, Inc. and Delaware North Companies, Incorporated, their subsidiaries’, or 

their affiliates’ in-house counsel; 

(iv) Non-party experts and consultants engaged by counsel for the 

purpose of preparing or assisting in this litigation, and those experts’ respective 

clerks and employees involved in assisting them in this litigation, to the extent 

deemed necessary by counsel; 

(v) The Court, its officers, court reporters and similar personnel, 

provided further that Confidential Information lodged with the Court under seal is 

subject to further evaluation by the Court; 

(vi) Any person as to which it is apparent from the face of a 

document was either an author, recipient, had knowledge of the contents therein, or 

was otherwise entitled to view the Confidential Information prior to the intended 

disclosure in this action; and 

(vii) Any other potential witnesses whose testimony may be used in 

connection with the present case who has complied with Paragraph 3(c) 

immediately below. 

(c) Before any person described in Paragraphs 3(b)(iv) and (vii) receives 

or is shown any document or information which has been designated as

Confidential, such person shall be given a copy of this Protective Order and shall 

agree in writing, in the form of the Acknowledgment and Agreement attached 

hereto as Exhibit A, to be bound by the terms hereof. The original of each such 

Acknowledgment and Agreement shall be maintained by counsel and, if a witness 

appears at deposition or at trial and represents that he or she previously executed 

an Acknowledgment, it shall be produced for inspection by opposing counsel upon 

request. Any counsel may require the other counsel to provide a copy of the 

Acknowledgment and Agreement signed by a witness at a deposition before the 

witness is deposed with regard to any Confidential Information. 

(d) Nothing in this Protective Order shall be construed to require 

execution of the written Acknowledgment and Agreement referred to in Paragraph 

3(c) above, or to prevent disclosure of Confidential Information, by the party 

producing and designating such Confidential Information, or by any employee of 

such party. 

(e) The substance or content of Confidential Information, as well as all 

notes and memoranda relating thereto, shall not be disclosed to anyone other than 

as set forth in Paragraphs 3(b)(i)-(vii) above. 

4. FILING DOCUMENTS UNDER SEAL 

(a) If a Party wishes to submit a document to the Court which the other 

Party has designated as Confidential or which contains Confidential Information 

and which has not been successfully challenged under Paragraph 5 below, the 

submitting Party shall notify the Designating Party of the exact material which the 

Party intends to submit to the Court at least 7 days prior, so as to provide the 

Designating Party sufficient time to determine whether it needs to bring a motion 

ordering that the material be filed under seal. Any such motion must comply with 

the procedures set forth in Local Rules 230 and 141 and must also comply with 

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c)(1). The written application and proposed 

order shall be presented to the Court along with the document intended to be

submitted for filing under seal. The original and Court’s copy of the document 

shall be sealed in separate envelopes with a copy of the title page attached to the 

front of each envelope. If only a portion of the document is sealable, then both the 

copy lodged with the Clerk and the Court’s copy shall have the sealable portions 

identified by notation or highlighting of the text. 

The Application and Order to Seal, along with the material to be placed 

under seal, shall not be electronically filed but shall be filed manually in the 

manner prescribed by Local Rules 230 and 141. A Notice of Manual Filing shall 

also be electronically filed, identifying all materials being manually filed. 

 (b) Any Party requesting that a record be filed under seal must comply 

with Local Rule 141. The Parties agree and recognize that Confidential 

Information or any paper containing Confidential Information cannot be filed 

under seal based solely upon this stipulated Protective Order. 

5. CHALLENGE TO CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATION 

Any Party that wishes to challenge the designation of a document or other 

information as “Confidential” must identify the documents or information for 

which it is challenging the designation within 30 days after production, and explain 

to the Designating Party the basis for the objection. The Designating Party will 

have 15 days to provide a written response. The Designating Party may, for good 

cause shown, bring a motion before the Court requesting that the Court confirm the 

designation of any document or information as “Confidential.” The Party asserting 

the designation as “Confidential” shall have the burden of establishing good cause 

for the designation. However, the Court shall be authorized to award the moving 

party attorneys’ fees as a sanction if the challenge to the “Confidential” 

designation was made in bad faith or was frivolous. The interested parties or other 

persons shall attempt to resolve such disagreements before submitting them to the 

Court pursuant to Local Rule 251(b). Pending resolution of any dispute 

concerning such designation, all parties and persons governed by this Protective

Order shall treat all documents and information previously designated as 

“Confidential” as protected from further disclosure by this Protective Order. 

6. SURVIVAL OF ORDER - RETURN OF DOCUMENTS 

(a) The provisions of this Order shall continue in effect until otherwise 

ordered by the Court, or after notice and an opportunity to be heard is afforded to 

the parties to this action. The final determination or settlement of this action shall 

not relieve any person who has received Confidential Information or agreed to be 

bound by the terms of this Protective Order of his, her, or its obligations under this 

stipulation and Order. The Court shall retain jurisdiction after such final 

determination or settlement to enforce the provisions of this Order. Upon 

completion of the litigation, all documents (including copies of documents) 

containing Confidential Information shall be destroyed or returned to counsel for 

the producing party, except that (a) documents on which any person has made 

notations may be destroyed and not returned, and (b) the Parties’ respective 

attorneys of record may retain one copy of each such document for use in 

connection with any disputes which may arise under the Court’s retention of 

jurisdiction as provided for herein. Within sixty days (60) of the conclusion of this 

litigation, the attorneys for the receiving party shall provide the attorneys for the 

producing party a certificate representing that such return or destruction was made. 

(b) Except as provided in Paragraphs 4 or 6 hereof, documents or things 

containing the other party’s Confidential Information shall at all times be in the 

physical possession of those persons qualifying under Paragraph 3 hereunder, or 

kept by counsel of record at the premises regularly maintained by such counsel of 

record as and for their respective law offices. 

7. USE OF DOCUMENTS AT TRIAL 

This Stipulation and Protective Order, except as provided in Paragraph 4, 

shall not apply to information designated or marked Confidential hereunder which 

is used at any evidentiary hearing or trial in this action. The Parties hereby reserve

their rights to use, or seek to limit the disclosure of, confidential information at any 

such hearing or trial. 

8. USE OF OWN DOCUMENTS BY PRODUCING PARTY 

Nothing in this Protective Order shall limit the use by any Party, person or 

entity of his, her, or its own document or information for legitimate business 

purposes unrelated to this litigation, even if such documents or information have 

been designated as “Confidential.” 

9. APPLICATIONS TO COURT 

(a) This Protective Order shall not preclude or limit any Party’s right to 

oppose or object to discovery on any ground which would be otherwise available. 

This Protective Order shall not preclude or limit any Party’s right to seek in 

camera review or to seek further and additional protection against or limitation 

upon production or dissemination of information produced in response to 

discovery, including documents and their contents. 

(b) Any person to or by whom disclosure or inspection is made in 

violation of this Protective Order, and who has knowledge of this Protective Order, 

shall be bound by the terms hereof. 

(c) The Parties hereto, and all other persons who receive Confidential 

Information pursuant hereto, agree that any Party or other person injured by a 

violation of this Order does not have an adequate remedy at law and that an 

injunction against such violation is an appropriate remedy. In the event any person 

shall violate or threaten to violate any terms of this Protective Order, the Parties 

agree that the aggrieved party may immediately apply to obtain injunctive relief 

against any such person. In the event the aggrieved party shall do so, the 

responding person subject to the provisions of this Order shall not employ as a 

defense thereto the claim that the aggrieved party has an adequate remedy at law. 

Any persons subject to the terms of this Order agree that the Court shall retain 

jurisdiction over it and them for the purposes of enforcing this Order, including but

not limited to issuing an injunction. In addition to injunctive relief, as specified 

herein, the Court may impose monetary and/or issue sanctions, as well as other 

relief deemed appropriate under the circumstances for a violation of this Protective 

Order. 

(d) If any deponent required under the terms of this Protective Order to 

execute the written Acknowledgment and Agreement described in Paragraph 3(c) 

above refuses to do so, the Parties may complete the deposition on other matters 

and/or adjourn it and move the Court for any appropriate relief, including (without 

limitation) relief from this Protective Order as to that deponent, or an order that the 

deponent shall execute the written agreement described in Paragraph 3(c) above, or 

an order that deponent shall be bound by the terms of this Protective Order. Any 

non-party whose Confidential Information is the subject of such a motion shall be 

given notice thereof. 

10. AGREEMENT TO COOPERATE 

The Parties hereto and their respective attorneys of record agree that, when 

one Party’s attorney requests a deponent to sign the written Acknowledgment and 

Agreement described in Paragraph 3(c) above, the other Party’s attorney will join 

in such request, unless that attorney has a good faith basis for refusing to join in 

such a request; provided, however, that this requirement shall not apply with 

respect to any deponent who is represented at his or her deposition by an attorney 

of record for any Party hereto (including any member or associate of their 

respective law firms). An attorney’s request to sign such Acknowledgment 

pursuant to this Paragraph shall not be construed to constitute legal advice to the 

deponent, but shall and may be stated to be simply a request to facilitate discovery 

in this action. 

11. NO ADMISSIONS 

Neither entering into this Stipulation for Protective Order, nor receiving any 

documents or other information designated as “Confidential” shall be construed as

of any allegation made or position taken relative to any matter designated as 

“Confidential”; or (3) as to the authenticity, competency, relevancy or materiality 

of any information or document designated as “Confidential.” 

12. NO WAIVER OF PRIVILEGES OR OBJECTIONS TO 

ADMISSIBILITY 

Nothing in this Protective Order shall be construed as requiring disclosure of 

Confidential Information, including, but not limited to, materials subject to 

protection under the attorney-client privilege and/or attorney work product 

doctrine, the trade secrets privilege, or under any other applicable privileges or 

rights of privacy, or requiring disclosure of Confidential Information that is 

otherwise beyond the scope of permissible discovery. Further, nothing in this 

Protective Order shall be construed as a waiver by a Party of any objections that 

might be raised as to the admissibility at trial of any evidentiary materials. 

13. DISCLOSURE IN VIOLATION OF ORDER 

If any Confidential Information is disclosed to any person other than in the 

manner authorized by this Protective Order, the party responsible for the disclosure 

must immediately, in writing, notify the opposing party and the Designating Party 

of all pertinent facts relating to such disclosure, and without prejudice to the rights 

and remedies of the Designating Party, make every effort to prevent further 

unauthorized disclosure. 

14. MODIFICATION - FURTHER AGREEMENTS 

Nothing contained herein shall preclude any Party from seeking from a 

Court modification of this Stipulated Protective Order upon proper notice, nor shall 

anything contained herein be construed as to preclude the Parties from entering
