Case No.: 2:09-cv-01565-GEB-GGH

STIPULATION FOR PROTECTIVE 

ORDER AND ORDER

Subject to the approval of this Court, the parties hereby stipulate to the following 

protective order:

1. In connection with discovery proceedings in this action, Host International, Inc. 

(AHost@) a non-party to this action, has been required by subpoena to produce documents 

(ADiscovery Materials@), that might reveal sensitive, confidential and/or proprietary 

information and/or trade secrets which should not be disclosed except in a highly restrictive 

manner. The Parties desire to accomplish and facilitate discovery in these actions without 

jeopardizing privacy, business, and commercial interests in the confidentiality of this 

information. The confidential information produced pursuant to this protective Order has not

been made public and the disclosure of this information would have the effect of causing 

harm. Host shall have the right to designate as confidential certain portions of Discovery 

Materials, provided that it concerns bona fide trade secrets, nonpublic financial information, 

research and development information, commercial information relating to future 

development plans or to competitive considerations, information relating to negotiations or 

transactions currently in progress or in prospect, or any other confidential information. 

2. Any material designated as confidential, under the terms of this Order, shall 

have the legend APROPRIETARY-SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER@ placed on it in a 

manner obstructing the least possible amount of writing or other information on the page, and 

thereafter shall be treated pursuant to the provisions of this Stipulated Protective Order. 

Said materials or documents refer to discovery material that the producing party or protected 

person reasonably believes not to be in the public domain and reasonably believes contains 

any trade secret or other confidential, strategic, research, development, or commercial 

information, as such terms are used in Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Rule 26(c)(1)(g), 

that, if disclosed, would materially affect the party's or protected person's business, 

commercial or financial interests. By designating these documents as confidential under the 

terms of this Order, the party making the designation is certifying to the Court that there is a 

good faith basis both in law and in fact for the designation within the meaning of the Federal 

Rules of Civil Procedure, Rule 26(g). 

3. Material designated as confidential under this Order, the information contained 

therein, and any summaries, copies, abstracts, or other documents derived in whole or in part 

from material designated as confidential shall be used only for the purpose of this action, and 

for no other purpose.

4. Confidential material produced pursuant to this Order may be disclosed or 

made available only to each party, or to counsel for that party (including the paralegal, 

clerical, and secretarial staff employed by such counsel), the Court, and any mediator or 

settlement facilitator designated for this case. This information may be provided to any expert

retained for consultation and/or trial. In the event that this confidential information is given to 

an expert per this Order, counsel that retained the expert shall provide a copy of this Order 

with the confidential information and the expert shall agree to abide by all terms and 

conditions of confidentiality related to the subject documents.

5. Should any party decide to include Confidential Material in any papers to be 

filed with the Court, that party will give at least 72 hours notice, if the circumstances permit, to 

Host in order to allow Host the opportunity to seek an order sealing the material in question.1 

6. In the event that any Confidential Material is used in any court proceeding in 

this action, it shall not lose its confidential status through such use, and the party using such 

shall take all reasonable steps to maintain its confidentiality during such use. Unless there 

is a court order sealing the material in question, the parties will continue to use electronic 

filing in accordance with local rules and the parties may refer to the materials during trial or 

any hearing.

7. This Order is entered for the purpose of facilitating the exchange of documents 

and information between the parties to this action. Nothing in this Order nor the production 

of any information or document under the terms of this Order nor any proceedings pursuant 

to this Order shall be deemed to have the effect of an admission or waiver by Host or of 

altering the confidentiality or nonconfidentiality of any such document or information or 

altering any existing obligation of any party or the absence thereof.

8. Nothing in this Protective Order shall in and of itself require disclosure of 

information that is protected by the attorney-client privilege, work-product doctrine, or any 

other privilege, doctrine, or immunity, nor does it result in any party giving up its right to argue

that otherwise privileged documents must be produced due to waiver or for any other reason.

9. Testimony taken at a deposition or conference that refers to the Confidential 

Material may be designated as confidential by making a statement to that effect on the record 

at the deposition or other proceeding. Arrangements shall be made with the court reporter 

taking and transcribing such proceeding to separately bind such portions of the transcript 

containing information designated as confidential, and to label such portions appropriately. 

10. If Protected Information produced in accordance with this Order is disclosed to 

any person other than in the manner authorized by this Order, the party responsible for the 

disclosure shall immediately bring all pertinent facts relating to such disclosure to the 

attention of all counsel of record and, without prejudice to other rights and remedies available 

to the producing party, make every effort to obtain the return of the disclosed Protected 

Information and prevent further disclosure of it by the person who was the recipient of such 

information.

11. This Order shall survive the final termination of this action, to the extent that the 

CONFIDENTIAL information is not or does not become known to the public, and the Court 

shall retain jurisdiction to resolve any dispute concerning the use of the information disclosed 

hereunder. Upon termination of this case, all parties and/or counsel for parties shall 

assemble and return all documents, material, and deposition transcripts designated as 

confidential and all copies of the same to counsel for Host International, Inc., Bailey Law 

Group, P.C. 1615 L Street, Suite 650, Washington, DC 20036 who produced the 

CONFIDENTIAL records.
