Case No. CV 060-7961 SI CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT AND 

PROPOSED ORDER 

Plaintiff Laurie M. Loveless (“Plaintiff”) and defendants Goldman, Sachs & Co., 

Christopher Lalli and Christopher Burns (“Defendants”) (collectively referred to in this 

agreement as the “Parties”), acting through their respective counsel of record, stipulate and agree 

to the following: 

1. The Parties and/or third-parties have produced, may or will produce, in connection 

with discovery proceedings in this action, information and/or documents consisting of or 

referencing confidential information, including but not necessarily limited to (1) Plaintiff’s 

medical records and medical condition; (2) Goldman, Sachs & Co.’s (“Goldman”) financial or 

other confidential, commercially sensitive, or proprietary information (3) employment records of 

Goldman’s employees or former employees; (4) any other personnel information pertaining to 

third parties; and (5) any information which is not generally available to the public or which a 

Party has maintained in confidence or the disclosure of which the producing Party reasonably 

believes is likely to or would harm the business or competitive position or invade the privacy of 

either the producing Party or the person, firm, partnership, corporation, or other organization from 

which the information was obtained. This information and documents are called 

“CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION” in this stipulation. 

2. The Party who wishes to so designate CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION will do 

so by means of written notice given to the other Party as soon as is practicable in connection with 

its production, including but not limited to marking the document or documents 

“CONFIDENTIAL.” 

3. To safeguard the confidentiality of CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, it will be 

maintained as set forth in this agreement. 

4. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION will be used by the receiving Party solely for 

the purposes of the prosecution and/or defense in this action. 

5. The Parties will not disclose CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION in any manner to 

anyone other than the following, who will agree to maintain its confidentiality: 

(a) the receiving Party and the receiving Party’s outside or in-house counsel 

and the legal staff and employees of such counsel assisting counsel in the

(b) experts or consultants assisting counsel in the effort to prosecute, defend or 

settle this action; 

(c) this Court and its personnel, including stenographic reporters regularly 

employed by the Court; 

(d) any neutral person who may be selected by the Parties to preside over their 

early settlement conference or private mediation; 

(e) stenographic and video-graphic reporters responsible for depositions taken 

in the case; 

(f) witnesses in preparation for deposition or trial proceedings; and 

(g) at pre-trial and trial proceedings without prior notice except the notice 

normally required for introduction of documents at pre-trial and trial 

proceedings. 

6. If a Party wishes to file under seal a document that has been designated 

“CONFIDENTIAL” by another Party pursuant to this Confidentiality Agreement, the submitting 

Party must file and serve a motion to file the documents under seal in accordance with Civil L.R. 

79-5, absent the Parties’ mutual agreement that it would be unnecessary to file under seal certain 

documents designated “CONFIDENTIAL.” 

7. In the event that a Party challenges the designation of information and/or 

documents as CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, that Party must do so in good faith and will so 

notify the other Party in writing. The burden will then fall on the Party making the designation to 

obtain an order from this Court upholding the designation. The designation made by the Party 

will be respected by the other Party, and the information and/or documents designated 

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION will not be used in a manner inconsistent with this 

agreement, until either (a) 15 days pass after that other Party gave notice of the challenge to the 

designation, and the Party making the designation fails to file a motion for an order by the Court 

upholding the designation; or (b) a motion timely made is denied by the Court. 

8. Entering into, agreeing to and/or complying with the terms of this agreement will

the Parties. Upon conclusion of this action, the Parties will continue to maintain documents 

containing CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION as confidential, and will be destroyed in 

accordance with the regular business practices of Haight Brown & Bonesteel LLP and Paul, 

Hastings, Janofsky & Walker LLP after a final judgment or dismissal is entered.

to control, consistent with this agreement, duplication of, access to, discussion of and distribution 

of copies of CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, in accordance with the terms of this Protective 

Order.

effect as a single original.
