Designated Material is disclosed to him or her, be provided with a copy of this Stipulated 

Protective Order and shall certify under penalty of perjury that he or she has carefully read the

AMENDED STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER -6- CASE NO. C 03-5755 JSW 

6. Designating Depositions. 

6.1 Deposition transcripts or portions thereof may be designated as 

“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL” by a party or third party during deposition 

testimony taken in this action, in which case the portion of the transcript containing Designated 

Material shall be identified in the transcript by the Court Reporter as “CONFIDENTIAL” or 

“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL.” The designated testimony shall be bound in a separate volume 

and marked by the reporter accordingly. 

6.2 Where testimony is designated at a deposition, the Designating Party shall 

have the right to exclude at those portions of the deposition all persons not authorized by the 

terms of this Stipulated Protective Order to receive such Designated Material. 

6.3 Any party or third party may, within fourteen (14) days after receiving a 

deposition transcript, designate pages of the transcript and/or its exhibits as Designated Material. 

If any party or third party so designates such material, the parties or deponents shall provide 

written notice of such designation to both parties within the fourteen (14) day period. Until the 

expiration of the fourteen (14) day period, any portion of the deposition not previously designated 

shall be treated as “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL” and subject to protection as provided by this 

Stipulated Protective Order. After the expiration of the fourteen (14) day period, if no party or 

deponent has timely designated any additional material, then such undesignated transcript and/or 

exhibits may be disclosed without restriction. 

7. Copies. 

All complete or partial copies, summaries or extracts of Designated Materials shall 

also be deemed subject to the terms of this Stipulated Protective Order. 

8. Court Procedures.

provisions of this Section 8, Designated Material may be disclosed to the Court, Court officials or 

employees involved in this action (including court reporters, persons operating video recording

8.2 Filing Designated Materials with the Court. In applications and motions to 

the Court, all Designated Material filed with the Court shall be in a sealed envelope or container 

on which shall be affixed the title of this action, an indication of the nature of their contents, the 

word “CONFIDENTIAL-FILED UNDER SEAL” and a statement substantially as follows: 

THIS ENVELOPE CONTAINS MATERIALS SUBJECT TO 

A STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER ENTERED IN THIS 

ACTION. IT IS NOT TO BE OPENED NOR ARE ITS 

CONTENTS TO BE DISPLAYED, REVEALED OR MADE 

PUBLIC, EXCEPT BY ORDER OF THE COURT. 

The submission shall indicate clearly which portions are Designated Materials. For the 

convenience of the parties and the Court, a party that files a paper that is a pleading, brief, 

declaration or exhibit and that contains, in excerpts, quotes or paraphrases Designated Material 

and undesignated material may file the entire paper under seal. The Clerk of the Court is directed 

to maintain under seal all documents and transcripts of deposition testimony and answers to 

interrogatories, admissions and other pleadings filed under seal with the Court in this litigation 

that have been designated, in whole or in part, as Designated Material. 

8.3 Retrieval of Designated Materials. The party responsible for lodging or 

filing the Designated Materials shall be responsible for retrieving such Designated Materials from 

the Court following the final termination of the action (including any appeals thereof). 

8.4 Failure To File Under Seal. If any party fails to file Designated Materials 

under seal, the Designating Party or any party to this action may request that the Court place the 

Designated Materials under seal within twenty (20) days of the filing of said Designated 

Materials. The Clerk of the Court is directed to comply with such request if made. 

9. Requirements for Filing Designated Materials Under Seal. 

9.1 Narrowly Tailored Court Order Required. No Designated Material shall be 

filed under seal except pursuant to a Court order that authorizes the sealing of the particular 

Designated Material or portion thereof and is narrowly tailored to seal only that material for 

which good cause to seal has been established. Any order sealing any Designated Materials shall 

direct the sealing of only those Designated Materials, pages or, if practicable, those portions of 

Designated Materials or pages, which contain the information requiring confidentiality. All other

portions of such Designated Materials shall be included in the public file. For example, pursuant 

to Civ. L.R. 79-5, the parties will file an unredacted copy of a document containing Designated 

Material under seal and simultaneously file a copy of the same document, with only the 

authorized Designated Material redacted, in the public file. 

9.2 Request and Proposed Order Setting Forth Good Cause To File Under Seal. 

A party wishing to file Designated Materials under seal must file a written request for a sealing 

order setting forth the good cause to seal and accompanied by a proposed order that is narrowly 

tailored as specified above. 

10. Objections. 

10.1 A party may challenge the propriety of any designation under this 

Stipulated Protective Order at any time. A challenge may be made by serving on all other parties, 

and to the extent that any such challenge is directed to Designated Materials designated by a third 

party, also serving on such third party, a captioned notice of objection, which shall identify with 

particularity the Designated Materials as to which the designation is challenged, state the basis for 

each challenge and propose a specific re-designation for each item of Designated Materials for 

which a challenge is made (“Notice of Objection”). Service of a Notice of Objection shall be 

made by facsimile and by mail. 

10.2 On, but not before, the thirtieth day after service of a Notice of Objection, 

the challenged material shall be deemed redesignated unless the Designating Party has previously 

filed and served by fax or hand delivery a motion for a protective order to maintain the original 

designation or designating the material otherwise. In the event of such a motion, the material at 

issue may be submitted to the Court for in camera inspection. It shall be the burden of the 

Designating Party under such circumstances to establish that the information so designated is 

“CONFIDENTIAL” (i.e., designated for the purpose of avoiding invasions of individual privacy 

and of protecting non-public proprietary information, confidential business, technical and/or 

financial information relating to the Designating Party’s business, technical, personal, or financial 

affairs) or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL” (i.e., designated for the purposes of (i) avoiding 

invasions of individual privacy and (ii) protecting non-public information relating to the

potential independent value from not being generally known to the public or to persons who can 

obtain value from its disclosure) within the meaning of this Stipulated Protective Order. Upon 

the timely filing of such a motion, the original designations shall remain effective until ten (10) 

days after service of notice of entry of an order redesignating the materials and during the 

pendency of any request for appellate review filed within the ten (10) day period. 

10.3 The parties and any third party that has produced Designated Materials to 

which objection is being made, shall meet and confer in good faith prior to the filing of any 

motion under this Section 10. 

11. Client Communication. 

Nothing in this Stipulated Protective Order shall prevent or otherwise restrict 

counsel from rendering advice to their clients and, in the course of rendering such advice, relying 

upon the examination of Designated Material. In rendering such advice and otherwise 

communicating with the client, however, counsel shall not make disclosure of any Designated 

Material or information contained in Designated Material, except as permitted by this Stipulated 

Protective Order. 

12. No Prejudice. 

12.1 This Stipulated Protective Order shall not diminish any existing obligation 

or right with respect to Designated Material, nor shall it prevent a disclosure to which the 

Designating Party consents in writing before the disclosure takes place. 

12.2 Unless both parties stipulate otherwise, evidence of the existence or 

nonexistence of a designation under this Stipulated Protective Order shall not be admissible for 

any purpose during any proceeding on the merits of this action. 

12.3 If any person inadvertently produces any Designated Material without 

marking it with the appropriate legend, the producing party may give written notice to the 

receiving party or parties, including appropriately stamped copies of the Designated Material, that 

the document, thing, or response is deemed Designated Material and should be treated as such in

accordance with the provisions of this Stipulated Protective Order. Thereafter, such material shall 

be treated in accordance with the provisions of this Stipulated Protective Order. 

12.4 Neither the provisions of this Stipulated Protective Order, nor the filing of 

any material under seal, shall prevent the use in open court, at any hearing, or at trial of this case 

of any material that is subject to this Amended Stipulated Protective Order or filed under seal 

pursuant to its provisions. Prior to trial, the shall meet and confer after the pretrial conference 

concerning appropriate methods for dealing with Designated Material at trial. 

13. Modification and Survival. 

13.1 Modification. Both parties reserve the right to seek modification of this 

Stipulated Protective Order at any time for good cause. The parties agree to meet and confer 

prior to seeking to modify this Stipulated Protective Order for any reason. To the extent that such 

modification would or might affect Designated Materials designated by any third party, the 

parties will meet and confer with such third party prior to seeking to modify this Stipulated 

Protective Order for any reason. The restrictions imposed by this Stipulated Protective Order 

may only be modified or terminated by written stipulation of the parties in this action, and to the 

extent such modification or termination would or might apply to any Designated Materials 

designated by any third party, written stipulation of such third party, or by order of this Court. 

13.2 Survival and Return of Designated Material. This Stipulated Protective 

Order shall survive termination of this action. Upon final termination of the action, including 

appeals and retrials, and at the written request of the Designating Party, all Designated Material, 

including deposition testimony regarding designated exhibits and all copies thereof, shall be 

returned to counsel for the Designating Party or, if such party is not represented by counsel, 

directly to the Designating Party. Such Designated Materials shall either be returned at the 

expense of the Designating Party or, at the option and expense of the Designating Party, 

destroyed. Upon request for the return or destruction of Designated Materials, counsel of record 

shall certify their compliance with this provision and shall deliver such certification to counsel for 

the Designating Party not more than 90 days after the written request to return or destroy 

Designated Materials.
