public disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation

may 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 from public disclosure and use extends only to the

limited information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment under the

applicable legal principles. The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section

12.3, below, that this Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file

confidential information under seal; Civil Local Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures

that must be followed and the standards that will be applied when a party seeks

permission from the court to file material under seal.

2. DEFINITIONS

2.1 Challenging Party: a Party or Non-Party that challenges the designation of

information or items under this Order.

how it is generated, stored or maintained) or tangible things that qualify for protection

under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c).

2.3 Counsel (without qualifier): Outside Counsel of Record (as well as their

support staff).

2.4 Designating Party: a Party or Non-Party that designates information or

items that it produces in disclosures or in responses to discovery as

“CONFIDENTIAL.”

2.5 Disclosure or Discovery Material: all items or information, regardless of

the medium or manner in which it is generated, stored, or maintained (including,

among other things, testimony, transcripts, and tangible things), that are produced or

generated in disclosures or responses to discovery in this matter.

2.6 Expert: a person with specialized knowledge or experience in a matter

pertinent to the litigation who has been retained by a Party or its counsel to serve as an

2.7 Non-Party: any natural person, partnership, corporation, association, or

other legal entity not named as a Party to this action.

2.8 Outside Counsel of Record: attorneys who are not employees of a party

to this action but are retained to represent or advise a party to this action and have

appeared in this action on behalf of that party or are affiliated with a law firm which

has appeared on behalf of that party.

2.9 Party: any party to this action, including all of its officers, directors,

employees, consultants, retained experts, and Outside Counsel of Record (and their

support staffs).

2.10 Producing Party: a Party or Non-Party that produces Disclosure or

Discovery Material in this action.

2.11 Professional Vendors: persons or entities that provide litigation support

services (e.g., photocopying, videotaping, translating, preparing exhibits or

designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.”

2.13 Receiving Party: a Party that receives Disclosure or Discovery Material

from a Producing Party.

3. SCOPE

The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only

Protected Material (as defined above), but also (1) any information copied or extracted

from Protected Material; (2) all copies, excerpts, summaries, or compilations of

Protected Material; and (3) any testimony, conversations, or presentations by Parties

or their Counsel that might reveal Protected Material. However, the protections

conferred by this Stipulation and Order do not cover the following information:

(a) any information that is in the public domain at the time of disclosure to a

Receiving Party or becomes part of the public domain after its disclosure to a

Receiving Party as a result of publication not involving a violation of this Order,

including becoming part of the public record through trial or otherwise; and (b) any

information known to the Receiving Party prior to the disclosure or obtained by the

Receiving Party after the disclosure from a source who obtained the information

lawfully and under no obligation of confidentiality to the Designating Party. Any use

of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by a separate agreement or order.

4. DURATION

Even after final disposition of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations

imposed by this Order shall remain in effect until a Designating Party agrees

otherwise in writing or a court order otherwise directs. Final disposition shall be

deemed to be the later of (1) dismissal of all claims and defenses in this action, with or

without prejudice; and (2) final judgment herein after the completion and exhaustion

of all appeals, rehearings, remands, trials, or reviews of this action, including the time

limits for filing any motions or applications for extension of time pursuant to

applicable law.

5. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL

5.1 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. The Designating Party must 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 routinized 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 Designating Party’s attention that information or

items that it designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating

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, Disclosure or Discovery 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 (e.g., paper or electronic

documents, but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial

proceedings), that the Producing Party affix the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” to each

page that contains protected material. 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).

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. During the inspection and

before the designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be

deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.” 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 “CONFIDENTIAL” legend

to each page that contains Protected Material. 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).

(b) for testimony given in deposition or in other pretrial or trial proceedings,

that the Designating Party identify on the record, before the close of the deposition,

hearing, or other proceeding, all protected 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.” If only a portion or portions of the information or item

warrant protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the

protected portion(s).

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

failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive the

Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such material.

Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable

efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this

Order.

6. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS

6.1 Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a

designation of confidentiality at any time. Unless a prompt challenge to a Designating

Party’s confidentiality designation is necessary to avoid foreseeable, substantial

unfairness, unnecessary economic burdens, or a 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. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute

resolution process by providing written notice of each designation it is challenging

and describing the basis for each challenge. To avoid ambiguity as to whether a

challenge has been made, the written notice must recite that the challenge to

confidentiality is being made in accordance with this specific paragraph of the

Protective Order. The parties shall attempt to resolve each challenge in good faith and

must begin the process by conferring directly (in voice to voice dialogue; other forms

of communication are not sufficient) within 14 days of the date of service of notice. 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 or establishes that the Designating Party

is unwilling to participate in the meet and confer process in a timely manner.

6.3 Judicial Intervention. If the Parties cannot resolve a challenge without

court intervention, the Designating Party shall file and serve a motion to retain

confidentiality under Civil Local Rule 7 (and in compliance with Civil Local Rule 79-

5, if applicable) within 21 days of the initial notice of challenge or within 14 days of

the parties agreeing that the meet and confer process will not resolve their dispute,

whichever is earlier. Each such motion must be accompanied by a competent

declaration affirming that the movant has complied with the meet and confer

requirements imposed in the preceding paragraph. Failure by the Designating Party to

make such a motion including the required declaration within 21 days (or 14 days, if

applicable) shall automatically waive the confidentiality designation for each

challenged designation. In addition, the Challenging Party may file a motion

challenging a confidentiality designation at any time if there is good cause for doing

so, including a challenge to the designation of a deposition transcript or any portions

thereof. Any motion brought pursuant to this provision must be accompanied by a

competent declaration affirming that the movant has complied with the meet and

confer requirements imposed by the preceding paragraph.

The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on the

Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper purpose

(e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may

expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating Party has waived

the confidentiality designation by failing to file a motion to retain confidentiality as

described above, all parties shall continue to afford the material in question the level

of protection to which it is entitled under the Producing Party’s designation until the

court rules on the challenge.

7. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

7.1 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 13 below (FINAL DISPOSITION).

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 Outside Counsel of Record in this action, as well

as employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably necessary to

disclose the information for this litigation and who have signed the “Acknowledgment

and Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A;

(b) the officers, directors, and employees of the Receiving Party to whom

disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the

“Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);

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

disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the

“Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);

(d) the court and its personnel;

(e) court reporters and their staff, professional jury or trial consultants,

mock jurors, and Professional Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary

for this litigation and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be

Bound” (Exhibit A);

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

reasonably necessary and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to

Be Bound” (Exhibit A), unless otherwise agreed by the Designating Party or ordered

by the court. 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 or recipient of a document containing the information or a

custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information.

8. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN

OTHER LITIGATION

If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation

that compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this action as

“CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must:

(a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall

include a copy of the subpoena or court order;

(b) promptly notify 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 subject to this Protective Order. Such notification shall include a copy of this

Stipulated Protective Order; and

(c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued

by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.

If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with

the subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this

action as “CONFIDENTIAL” before a determination by the court from which the

subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s

permission. The Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense 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.

9. A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE PRODUCED

IN THIS LITIGATION

(a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a

Non-Party in this action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” 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.

(b) 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:

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 NonParty.

(c) 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.

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 unauthorized 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 execute the “Acknowledgment and

Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain

inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection,

the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil

Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify whatever procedure

may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for production without prior

privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) and (e), insofar as the

parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure of a communication or

information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work product protection, the

parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated protective order submitted to

the court.

12. MISCELLANEOUS

12.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any

person to seek its modification by the court in the future.

12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this

Protective Order no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to

disclosing or producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in this

Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on any

ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective Order.

12.3 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. Protected Material may only be filed under seal pursuant to a court

order authorizing the sealing of the specific Protected Material at issue. Pursuant to

Civil Local Rule 79-5, a sealing order will issue only upon a request establishing that

the Protected Material at issue is privileged, protectable as a trade secret, or otherwise

entitled to protection under the law. If a Receiving Party's request to file Protected

Material under seal pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5(d) is denied by the court, then

the Receiving Party may file the information in the public record pursuant to Civil

Local Rule 79-5(e) unless otherwise instructed by the court.

13. FINAL DISPOSITION

Within 60 days after the final disposition of this action, as defined in paragraph

4, each Receiving Party must return all Protected Material to the Producing Party or

destroy such material. As used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes

all copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries, and any other format reproducing or

capturing any of the Protected Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or

destroyed, the Receiving Party must submit a written certification to the Producing

Party (and, if not the same person or entity, to the Designating Party) by the 60 day

deadline that (1) identifies (by category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material

that was returned or destroyed and (2) affirms that the Receiving Party has not

retained any copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other format

reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this

provision, Counsel are entitled to retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion

papers, trial, deposition, and hearing transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence,

deposition and trial exhibits, expert reports, attorney work product, and consultant and

expert work product, even if such materials contain Protected Material. Any such

archival copies that contain or constitute Protected Material remain subject to this

Protective Order as set forth in Section 4 (DURATION).
