(b) At the time of disclosure hereunder was, or subsequently becomes, through 

no fault of the receiving party, a public document or publicly available.

proceeding, the party or his or its attorneys shall, no later than 14 days prior to compliance with the 

subpoena or other process or order, notify the attorneys of record for the other party and specify the
