referred to in this agreement as the “Parties”), acting through their respective counsel of record, 

hereby stipulate and agree to the following amended Protective Order and Confidentiality

UPS employees. This information and documents are called “ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY 

INFORMATION” in this stipulation.

will be deemed already so designated. If it has not yet been produced in discovery, the Party who 

wishes to so designate it 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 “CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.” 

4. If ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY INFORMATION has already been produced in 

discovery, it will be deemed already so designated. If it has not yet been produced in discovery, 

the Party who wishes to so designate it 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 “ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY INFORMATION.” 

5. To safeguard the confidentiality of CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, and 

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY INFORMATION it will be maintained as set forth in this 

agreement.

a. counsel of record for the parties in this action, who are actively engaged in 

the conduct of this litigation and the partners, associates, secretaries, 

paralegal assistants, and employees of such counsel to the extent reasonably 

necessary to render professional services in the litigation. 

b. at trial, deposition, or hearing before the Court, but only with prior leave of

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

documents as CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION or ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY 

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 of the 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 or 

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY 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 of the 

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

10. In the event that a Party seeks to file with the Court a document containing or 

constituting CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION or ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY 

INFORMATION, that Party will first file the document under seal pursuant to United States 

District Court of California, Northern California District Local Rule 79-5. If the Court refuses to 

uphold the confidentiality requested or accepts the documents as filed, the documents may be 

filed. 

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

not:

a. operate as an admission that any particular designated material constitutes, 

contains or reflects trade secrets, proprietary or commercial information or 

other confidential matter;
