1 Case No. 2:16-CV-02002-MCE-DB

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

WHEREAS, the parties in the above-captioned matter have agreed that these proceedings 

may involve the discovery and use of confidential, non-public, sensitive, or proprietary business, 

employment, tax, financial, and personally identifiable information, documents and other materials;

WHEREAS, the parties have agreed to produce such documents only on the agreement that 

such “Confidential Information” including information regarding current and former Wal-Mart 

Stores, Inc. (“Walmart” or “Defendant”) employees’ social security information, dates of birth, 

personal banking information, medical information, and records stating the actual rates of pay at 

Walmart, and corporate trade secrets, nonpublic research and development data, pricing formulas, 

prospective inventory management programs, confidential business information not generally 

known to the general public, and customer-related information, will be disclosed only as provided 

herein;

WHEREAS, the parties have agreed to stipulate to protect certain confidential and 

otherwise protected documents, data (including electronically stored information) and other 

information, including without limitation, metadata (collectively “Documents”), against claims of 

waiver and inadvertent production in the event they are produced during the course of this 

litigation whether pursuant to a Court Order, a parties’ discovery request, or informal production.

WHEREAS, both parties may be required to produce large volumes of Documents, the 

parties wish to comply with discovery deadlines and complete discovery as expeditiously as 

possible, while preserving and without waiving any evidentiary protections or privileges applicable 

to the information contained in the Documents produced, including as against third parties and 

other proceedings, and in addition to their agreement, need the additional protections of a Court 

Order under Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) and (e) to do so. 

WHEREAS, in order to comply with applicable discovery deadlines, a party may be 

required to produce certain categories of Documents that have been subject to minimal or no 

attorney review (the “Disclosures”). This Stipulation and Order is designed to foreclose any 

arguments that by making such Disclosures, the disclosure or production of Documents subject to a 

legally recognized claim of privilege, including without limitation the attorney-client privilege, 

work-product doctrine, or other applicable privilege:

(b) that the Producing Party did not take reasonable steps to prevent the 

disclosure of privileged Documents; 

(c) that the Producing Party did not take reasonable or timely steps to rectify 

such Disclosure; and/or 

(d) that such Disclosure acts as a waiver of applicable privileges or protections 

associated with such Documents.

Information and privileged Documents, the parties agree they are bound as follows from and after 

the date their counsel have signed it, even if such execution occurs prior to Court approval.

THEREFORE, the parties seek the entry of an Order, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil 

Procedure 26(c) governing the disclosure of documents and information therein pertaining to 

“Confidential Information” on the terms set forth herein, as well as an Order governing the return 

of inadvertently produced documents and data and affording them the protections of Federal Rule 

of Evidence 502(d) and (e), on the terms set forth herein.

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED THAT:

1. The Protective Order shall be entered pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil 

Procedure and Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) and (e).

2. The Protective Order shall govern all materials deemed to be “Confidential 

Information.” Such Confidential Information shall include the following:

(a) Any and all documents referring or related to confidential and proprietary 

human resources or business information; financial records of the parties; 

compensation of Defendant’s current or former personnel; policies, 

procedures or training materials of Defendant; or Defendant’s

of any current or former employee or contractor; 

(c) Any documents relating to the medical or health information of any of 

Defendant’s current or former employees or contractors;

(a) Any documents containing corporate trade secrets, nonpublic research and 

development data, pricing formulas, prospective inventory management 

programs, confidential business information not generally known to the

4. In the case of documents and the information contained therein, designation of 

Confidential Information produced shall be made by placing the following legend on the face of 

the document and each page so designated “CONFIDENTIAL” or “ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”

or otherwise expressly identified as confidential or attorneys’ eyes only. Defendant will use its best 

efforts to limit the number of documents designated Confidential or Attorneys’ Eyes Only.

5. Except as required by law or executive order, Confidential Information shall be held 

in confidence by each qualified recipient to whom it is disclosed, shall be used only for purposes of 

this action, shall not be used for any business purpose, and shall not be disclosed to any person who 

is not a qualified recipient. All produced Confidential Information shall be carefully maintained so 

as to preclude access by persons who are not qualified recipients.

include only the following: 

(a) In-house counsel and law firms for each party and the secretarial, clerical and paralegal 

staff of each.

Qualified recipients of documents marked “CONFIDENTIAL” shall include only the 

following: 

(a) In-house counsel and law firms for each party and the secretarial, clerical and paralegal 

staff of each. 

(b) Deposition notaries and staff; 

(c) Persons other than legal counsel who have been retained or specially employed by a 

party as an expert witness for purposes of this lawsuit or to perform investigative work or fact 

research; 

(d) Deponents during the course of their depositions or potential witnesses of this case; and

4 Case No. 2:16-CV-02002-MCE-DB

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

(e) The parties to this litigation, their officers, and professional employees.

7. Each counsel shall be responsible for providing notice of the Protective Order and 

the terms therein to persons to whom they disclose “Confidential Information,” as defined by the 

terms of the Protective Order.

Persons to whom Confidential Information is shown shall be informed of the terms of this 

Order and advised that its breach may be punished or sanctioned as contempt of the Court as set 

forth in Exhibit A hereto. Such deponents may be shown Confidential Information during their 

deposition but shall not be permitted to keep copies of said Confidential Information nor any 

portion of the deposition transcript reflecting the Confidential Information.

If either party objects to the claims that information should be deemed Confidential, that 

party’s counsel shall inform opposing counsel in writing within thirty (30) days of receipt of the 

Confidential Information that the information should not be so deemed, and the parties shall 

attempt first to dispose of such disputes in good faith and on an informal basis. If the parties are 

unable to resolve their dispute, they may present a motion to the Court objecting to such status. 

The information shall continue to have Confidential status during the pendency of any such 

motion. 

8. In the event that any documents or other materials previously identified as 

confidential are marked as exhibits or otherwise generally discussed during the taking of a 

deposition in this action, the exhibit, and all portions of the relevant deposition transcript in which 

the exhibit is discussed and/or referenced, shall immediately be deemed confidential, and therefore 

subject to the terms of this Protective Order.

9. No copies of Confidential Information shall be made except by or on behalf of 

attorneys of record, in-house counsel or the parties in this action. Any person making copies of 

such information shall maintain all copies within their possession or the possession of those 

entitled to access to such information under the Protective Order.

10. All information produced in this action, whether deemed Confidential or not, shall 

be used only for purposes of this litigation and not for any other purpose.

5 Case No. 2:16-CV-02002-MCE-DB

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

11. Whenever a party wishes to file any writing designated as Confidential with the 

Court, the party may either (a) redact any and all information contained on any page that is marked 

Confidential before filing said document with the Court, (b) if the party wishing to file said writing 

is the party that originally designated the document as Confidential that party may, at their 

discretion, redact only that information that it deems Confidential from any page that is marked 

Confidential before filing with the Court or (c) separately file the document under seal with the 

Court. If a party wishes to file a document that has been marked Confidential with the Court, the 

party will follow all rules and practices followed by the Court regarding filing a document under 

seal, including filing a motion establishing good cause for the document to be preserved under seal 

if necessary, prior to so filing.

12. The termination of this action shall not relieve the parties and persons obligated 

hereunder from their responsibility to maintain the confidentiality of information designated 

Confidential pursuant to this Order. 

13. Upon termination of this action by entry of a final judgment (inclusive of any 

appeals or petitions for review), the parties may request the return of all previously furnished 

Confidential Information, including any copies thereof, and each person or party to whom such 

Confidential Information has been furnished or produced shall be obligated to return it within thirty 

(30) days of said request.

14. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) and (e), the parties agree to and the 

Court orders protection of privileged and otherwise protected Documents against claims of waiver 

(including as against third parties and in other federal and state proceedings) as follows: 

(a) The disclosure or production of Documents by a Producing Party subject to a 

legally recognized claim of privilege, including without limitation the 

attorney-client privilege and the work-product doctrine, to a Receiving 

Party, shall in no way constitute the voluntary disclosure of such Document.

(b) The inadvertent disclosure or production of any Document in this action 

shall not result in the waiver of any privilege, evidentiary protection or other 

protection associated with such Document as to the Receiving Party or any 

third parties, and shall not result in any waiver, including subject matter 

waiver, of any kind.

(c) If, during the course of this litigation, a party determines that any Document 

produced by another party is or may reasonably be subject to a legally 

recognizable privilege or evidentiary protection (“Protected Document”):

6 Case No. 2:16-CV-02002-MCE-DB

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

(i) the Receiving Party shall: (A) refrain from reading the Protected 

Document any more closely than is necessary to ascertain that it is 

privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure; (B) immediately 

notify the Producing Party in writing that it has discovered 

Documents believed to be privileged or protected; (C) specifically 

identify the Protected Documents by Bates number range or hash 

value, and, (D) within ten (10) days of discovery by the Receiving 

Party, return, sequester, or destroy all copies of such Protected 

Documents, along with any notes, abstracts or compilations of the 

content thereof. To the extent that a Protected Document has been 

loaded into a litigation review database under the control of the 

Receiving Party, the Receiving Party shall have all electronic copies 

of the Protected Document extracted from the database. Where such 

Protected Documents cannot be destroyed or separated, they shall not 

be reviewed, disclosed, or otherwise used by the Receiving Party. 

Notwithstanding, the Receiving Party is under no obligation to search 

or review the Producing Party’s Documents to identify potentially 

privileged or work product Protected Documents.

(ii) If the Producing Party intends to assert a claim of privilege or other 

protection over Documents identified by the Receiving Party as 

Protected Documents, the Producing Party will, within ten (10) days 

of receiving the Receiving Party’s written notification described 

above, inform the Receiving Party of such intention in writing and 

shall provide the Receiving Party with a log for such Protected 

Documents that is consistent with the requirements of the Federal 

Rules of Civil Procedure, setting forth the basis for the claim of 

privilege or other protection. In the event that any portion of a 

Protected Document does not contain privileged or protected 

information, the Producing Party shall also provide to the Receiving 

Party a redacted copy of the document that omits the information that 

the Producing Party believes is subject to a claim of privilege or 

other protection. 

(d) If, during the course of this litigation, a party determines it has produced a 

Protected Document:

(i) the Producing Party may notify the Receiving Party of such 

inadvertent production in writing, and demand the return of such 

documents. Such notice shall be in writing, however, it may be 

delivered orally on the record at a deposition, promptly followed up 

in writing. The Producing Party’s written notice will identify the 

Protected Document inadvertently produced by bates number range 

or hash value, the privilege or protection claimed, and the basis for 

the assertion of the privilege and shall provide the Receiving Party 

with a log for such Protected Documents that is consistent with the 

requirements of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, setting forth 

the basis for the claim of privilege or other protection. In the event 

that any portion of the Protected Document does not contain 

privileged or protected information, the Producing Party shall also 

provide to the Receiving Party a redacted copy of the Document that 

omits the information that the Producing Party believes is subject to a 

claim of privilege or other protection. 

(ii) the Receiving Party must, within ten (10) days of receiving the 

Producing Party’s written notification described above, return,

sequester, or destroy the Protected Document and any copies, along 

with any notes, abstracts or compilations of the content thereof. To 

the extent that a Protected Document has been loaded into a litigation 

review database under the control of the Receiving Party, the 

Receiving Party shall have all electronic copies of the Protected 

Document extracted from the database.

(e) To the extent that the information contained in a Protected Document has 

already been used in or described in other documents generated or 

maintained by the Receiving Party prior to the date of receipt of written 

notice by the Producing Party as set forth in paragraphs (c)(ii) and (d)(i), 

then the Receiving Party shall sequester such documents until the claim has 

been resolved. If the Receiving Party disclosed the Protected Document 

before being notified of its inadvertent production, it must take reasonable 

steps to retrieve it.

(f) The Receiving Party’s return, sequestering or destruction of Protected 

Documents as provided herein will not act as a waiver of the Requesting 

Party’s right to move for the production of the returned, sequestered or 

destroyed documents on the grounds that the documents are not, in fact, 

subject to a viable claim of privilege or protection. However, the Receiving 

Party is prohibited and estopped from arguing that:

(i) the disclosure or production of the Protected Documents acts as a 

waiver of an applicable privilege or evidentiary protection; 

(ii) the disclosure of the Protected Documents was not inadvertent;

(iii) the Producing Party did not take reasonable steps to prevent the 

disclosure of the Protected Documents; or

(iv) the Producing Party failed to take reasonable or timely steps to 

rectify the error.

(g) Either party may submit Protected Documents to the Court under seal for a 

determination of the claim of privilege or other protection. The Producing 

Party shall preserve the Protected Documents until such claim is resolved. 

The Receiving Party may not use the Protected Documents for any purpose 

absent this Court’s Order.

(h) Upon a determination by the Court that the Protected Documents are 

protected by the applicable privilege or evidentiary protection, and if the 

Protected Documents have been sequestered rather than returned or 

destroyed by the Receiving Party, the Protected Documents shall be returned 

or destroyed within 10 (ten) days of the Court’s order. The Court may also 

order the identification by the Receiving Party of Protected Documents by 

search terms or other means.

(i) Nothing contained herein is intended to, or shall serve to limit a party’s right 

to conduct a review of documents, data (including electronically stored 

information) and other information, including without limitation, metadata, 

for relevance, responsiveness or the segregation of privileged or protected 

information before such information is produced to another party.

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

(j) By operation of the parties’ agreement and Court Order, the parties are 

specifically afforded the protections of Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) and 

(e).

15. Subject to the Federal Rules of Evidence, a stamped Confidential document and 

other Confidential Information may be offered in evidence at trial or any court hearing, provided 

that the proponent of the evidence gives five days’ advance notice to counsel for the party or other 

person that designated the information as Confidential. Any party may move the court for an order 

that the evidence be received in camera or under other conditions to prevent unnecessary 

disclosure. The court will then determine whether the proffered evidence should continue to be 

treated as Confidential Information and, if so, what protection, if any, may be afforded to such 

information at the trial.

16. If another court or an administrative agency subpoenas or orders production of 

stamped Confidential documents which a party has obtained under the terms of this order, such 

party shall promptly notify the party or other person who designated the document as Confidential 

of the pendency of such subpoena or order.

17. Nothing in this Order shall be construed as an admission as to the relevance, 

authenticity, foundation or admissibility of any document, material, transcript, or other 

information.

18. Nothing in the Protective Order shall be deemed to preclude any party from seeking 

and obtaining, on an appropriate showing, a modification of this Order.

19. Once executed by all parties, the Stipulation shall be by treated by the Parties as an 

Order of Court until it is formally approved by the Court.

IT IS SO STIPULATED, THROUGH COUNSEL OF RECORD.

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

ORDER

Pursuant to the parties’ January 13, 2017 stipulation, (ECF No. 10), IT IS SO ORDERED. 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED THAT:

1. Requests to seal documents shall be made by motion before the same judge who will 

decide the matter related to that request to seal.

2. The designation of documents (including transcripts of testimony) as confidential 

pursuant to this order does not automatically entitle the parties to file such a document with the 

court under seal. Parties are advised that any request to seal documents in this district is governed 

by Local Rule 141. In brief, Local Rule 141 provides that documents may only be sealed by a 

written order of the court after a specific request to seal has been made. L.R. 141(a). However, a 

mere request to seal is not enough under the local rules. In particular, Local Rule 141(b) requires 

that “[t]he ‘Request to Seal Documents’ shall set forth the statutory or other authority for sealing, 

the requested duration, the identity, by name or category, of persons to be permitted access to the 

document, and all relevant information.” L.R. 141(b) (emphasis added).

3. A request to seal material must normally meet the high threshold of showing that 

“compelling reasons” support secrecy; however, where the material is, at most, “tangentially 

related” to the merits of a case, the request to seal may be granted on a showing of “good cause.” 

Ctr. for Auto Safety v. Chrysler Grp., LLC, 809 F.3d 1092, 1096-1102 (9th Cir. 2016); Kamakana 

v. City and County of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1178-80 (9th Cir. 2006).

4. Nothing in this order shall limit the testimony of parties or non-parties, or the use of 

certain documents, at any court hearing or trial – such determinations will only be made by the 

court at the hearing or trial, or upon an appropriate motion.

5. With respect to motions regarding any disputes concerning this protective order which 

the parties cannot informally resolve, the parties shall follow the procedures outlined in Local Rule 

251. Absent a showing of good cause, the court will not hear discovery disputes on an ex parte 

basis or on shortened time.

approval. If the parties agree to a potential modification, they shall submit a stipulation and 

proposed order for the court’s consideration.

7. Pursuant to Local Rule 141.1(f), the court will not retain jurisdiction over enforcement 

of the terms of this Protective Order after the action is terminated.

8. Any provision in the parties’ stipulation that is in conflict with anything in this order is 

hereby DISAPPROVED.
