STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 

(COURT HAS STRICKEN PARAGRAPH 

#9) 

Plaintiff Tariq Munir and Defendants Panera Bread Company and Panera LLC, having 

stipulated to the entry of the within protective order, and the Court being fully advised in the 

premises, 

IT IS ORDERED AND AGREED AS FOLLOWS: 

1. When used in this Order, “Confidential Information” means any information (e.g., 

trade secret, confidential business information, and/or proprietary information of a sensitive 

nature) which is designated in good faith as confidential by a party pursuant to paragraph 2 

below. 

2. Materials may be designated as Confidential Information by conspicuously 

stamping or marking documents or discovery responses with an appropriate legend, by advice on 

the record at a deposition, or by any other reasonable means agreed to by the parties. Failure to 

designate information as Confidential Information at the time it is initially produced shall not 

constitute a waiver of the right to later designate information as Confidential Information, but any 

disclosure by the receiving party made before the designation will not constitute a violation of 

this Order. 

3. Subject to paragraph 4 below, Confidential Information may be disclosed by the

(b) the parties to the action and their employees involved in assisting attorneys

(c) a consulting or testifying expert retained by counsel, where counsel in good 

faith believes that the Confidential Information disclosed to such person is relevant to the

agreements shall be maintained by counsel for the party disclosing the Confidential Information, 

and shall be produced within 10 calendar days of a request by any other party. If a party 

withholds copies of any non-disclosure agreement based on a claim of attorney-client privilege or

days of the request, that non-disclosure agreements have been executed as required by this Order.

5. Confidential Information may be disclosed to persons other than those provided in 

paragraph 3 above only upon (a) the prior express written consent of the party who has produced 

and designated the Confidential Information; or (b) stipulation by the designating party on the 

record at a hearing or deposition at which Confidential Information is sought to be disclosed; or

its counsel of that party’s own documents or information, and shall only apply to documents 

produced by an opposing party during the proceedings in this action. 

9. If a dispute arises concerning whether information is or properly should have been 

designated as Confidential Information, the parties shall try to resolve such dispute in good faith 

on an informal basis. If the dispute cannot be so resolved, the party seeking to disclose the 

information without restriction must mail notice to the designating party that it disputes the 

designation. The designating party may, within 15 business days of receipt of such notice, move 

the Court for a ruling as to whether the disputed information is Confidential Information as 

defined in paragraph 1 above. If the designating party does not so move within the 15 business 

day period, or if the Court rules that the information is not Confidential Information, then such 

information shall not be treated as Confidential Information subject to this Protective Order; 

provided that pending the expiration of the 15-business day period, or a ruling by the Court (if a 

motion is made within the 15-business day period), the Information shall be treated as

10. Following the close of pre-trial discovery, and prior to trial of this matter, counsel 

for the undersigned parties shall seek to agree on procedures to protect the confidentiality of

parties cannot agree, the Court upon motion of any party, shall determine the procedures to be

12. Nothing in this Order shall prevent any party from objecting to discovery which is 

believed to be improper, or from seeking from the Court additional or different protection for any 

information sought or produced in discovery. 

13. This Order shall continue to be binding after the termination, by judgment or 

otherwise, of this action.
