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

warranted. Accordingly, Plaintiff Daniel Cobb and Defendants Realogy Operations LLC and 

Realogy Holdings Corp. 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 discovery responses, and its protection extends 

only to the limited information or items that are entitled under the applicable legal principles 

to treatment as confidential. 

2. DEFINITIONS

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

employees, consultants, retained experts, and outside counsel (and their support staff).

2.2 Disclosure or Discovery Material: all items or information, regardless of the 

medium or manner generated, stored, or maintained (including, among other things, 

testimony, transcripts, or tangible things) that are produced or generated in disclosures or 

responses to discovery in this matter.

2.3 “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items: information (regardless of how 

generated, stored, or maintained) or tangible things reflecting confidential, commercial, or 

personal information that counsel or any of the stipulating parties has in good faith 

designated as “Confidential.”

2.4 “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” INFORMATION 

OR ITEMS: extremely sensitive “Confidential Information or Items” whose disclosure to 

another Party or non-party would create a substantial risk of serious injury that could not be 

avoided by less restrictive means.

2.5 Receiving Party: a Party that receives Disclosure or Discovery Material from 

a Producing Party.

2.6 Producing Party: a Party or non-party that produces Disclosure or Discovery 

Material in this action.

2.7 Designating Party: a Party or non-party that designates information or items 

that it produces in disclosures or in responses to discovery as “Confidential.”

become an employee of a Party or a competitor of a Party. This definition includes a 

professional jury or trial consultant retained in connection with this litigation.

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

organizing, storing, retrieving data in any form or medium; etc.) and their employees and 

subcontractors.

3. SCOPE

Material (as defined above), but also any information copied or extracted therefrom, as well 

as all copies, excerpts, summaries, or compilations thereof, plus testimony, conversations, 

or presentations by parties or counsel to or in court, or in other settings that might reveal

this Order shall remain in effect until a Designating Party agrees in writing or a court orders 

otherwise.

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. 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.

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 Party’s or a non-party’s attention that information or items that it 

designated for protection do not qualify for protection at all, or do not qualify for the level of 

protection initially asserted, that Party or non-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, or as otherwise stipulated or ordered, 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 (apart from transcripts of depositions or other 

pretrial or trial proceedings), that the Producing Party affix the legend “CONFIDENTIAL’’ or 

“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” 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) and must specify, for each portion, the level of 

protection being asserted (either “CONFIDENTIAL’’ or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL –

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”).

(b) for testimony given in deposition or in other pre-trial or trial proceedings, that the 

Party or non-party offering or sponsoring the testimony identify on the record, before the 

close of the deposition, hearing, or other proceeding, all protected testimony, and further 

specify any portions of the testimony that qualify as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” When it is impractical to identify separately 

each portion of testimony that is entitled to protection, and when it appears that substantial 

portions of the testimony may qualify for protection, the Party or non-party that sponsors, 

offers, or gives the testimony may invoke on the record (before the deposition or proceeding 

is concluded) a right to have up to 20 days to identify the specific portions of the testimony 

as to which protection is sought and to specify the level of protection being asserted 

(“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”). Only 

those portions of the testimony that are appropriately designated for protection within the 

twenty (20) days shall be covered by the provisions of this Stipulated Protective Order.

Transcript pages containing Protected Material must be separately bound by the 

court reporter, who must affix to the top of each such page the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” or 

“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” as instructed by the Party or nonparty offering or sponsoring the witness or presenting the testimony.

(c) for information produced in a 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” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” If only 

portions of the information or item warrant protection, the Producing Party, to the extent 

practicable, shall identify the protected portions, specifying whether they qualify as 

“CONFIDENTIAL” or as “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.”

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

to designate qualified information or items as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” does not, standing alone, waive the 

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

is appropriately designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL –

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” after the material was initially produced, the Receiving Party, 

on timely notification of the designation, 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. Unless a prompt challenge to a Designating Party’s 

confidentiality designation is necessary to avoid foreseeable substantial unfairness, 

unnecessary economic burdens, or a later 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. A Party that elects to initiate a challenge to a Designating 

Party’s confidentiality designation must do so in good faith and must begin the process by 

conferring directly (in writing or voice-to-voice dialogue) with counsel for the Designating 

Party. 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.

6.3 Court Intervention. A Party that elects to press a challenge to a 

confidentiality designation after considering the justification offered by the Designating Party 

may file and serve a motion consistent with Section 10 of this Stipulated Protective Order 

that identifies the challenged material and sets forth in detail the basis for the challenge. 

Each such motion must be accompanied by a competent declaration that affirms that the 

movant has complied with the meet and confer requirements imposed in the preceding 

paragraph and that sets forth with specificity the justification for the confidentiality 

designation that was given by the Designating Party in the meet and confer dialogue. The 

burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on the Designating Party.

Until the Court rules on the challenge, 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.

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 11, 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 Counsel to whom it is reasonably necessary to disclose the information 

for this litigation;

(b) House Counsel of a Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary 

for this litigation;

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

is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the “Acknowledgement and 

Agreement to Be Bound by Protective Order” (Exhibit A);

(d) experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is 

reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the “Acknowledgement and 

Agreement to Be Bound by Protective Order” (Exhibit A);

(f) court reporters, their staffs, and professional vendors to whom disclosure is 

reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the “Acknowledgement and 

Agreement to Be Bound by Protective Order” (Exhibit A);

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

reasonably necessary and who have signed the “Acknowledgement and Agreement to Be

reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone except as permitted under this Stipulated 

Protective Order.

(h) the author of the document or the original source of the information.

7.3 Disclosure of “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” 

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

8. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN OTHER 

LITIGATION

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

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

“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” the 

Receiving Party must so notify the Designating Party, in writing (by fax, if possible) 

immediately and in no event more than three (3) court days after receiving the subpoena or 

order. Such notification must include a copy of the subpoena or court order.

The Receiving Party also must immediately inform 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 the subject of this Protective Order. In addition, the Receiving 

Party must deliver a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order promptly to the Party in the 

other action that caused the subpoena or order to issue.

The purpose of imposing these duties is to alert the interested parties to the 

existence of this Protective Order and to afford the Designating Party in this case an 

opportunity to try to protect its confidentiality interests in the court from which the subpoena 

or order issued. The Designating Party shall bear the burdens and the expenses 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 a court.

9. 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 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 

“Acknowledgement and Agreement to Be Bound by Protective Order” (Exhibit A).

10. FILING PROTECTED MATERIAL

All transcripts, depositions, exhibits, answers to interrogatories, and other 

documents and things filed with the Court, which contain Protected Material, or any pleading 

or memorandum purporting to reproduce or paraphrase such information, shall be filed and 

lodged with the Court pursuant to the rules set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure Rule 

5.2 and Local Rule 140. Accordingly, as set forth in those rules, no documents or 

information designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ 

EYES ONLY” pursuant to this Order shall be filed with the Court and made part of the public 

record until and unless the Producing Party has been given a full and fair opportunity to file 

a motion or an application that such documents or information be sealed. 

11. FINAL DISPOSITION 

Unless otherwise ordered or agreed in writing by the Producing Party, within sixty 

(60) days after the final termination of this action, each Receiving Party must return all 

Protected Material to the Producing Party. As used in this subdivision, “all Protected 

Material” includes all copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries, or any other form of 

reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material. With permission in writing from the 

Designating Party, the Receiving Party may destroy some or all of the Protected Material 

instead of returning it. 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 sixty (60) day deadline that identifies 

(by category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was returned or destroyed 

and that affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any copies, abstracts, 

compilations, summaries, or other forms of reproducing or capturing any of the Protected 

Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are entitled to retain an archival copy of 

all pleadings, motion papers, transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, or attorney 

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), above.

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.

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.
