2. The CONFIDENTIAL SFHA INFORMATION shall not be exhibited, displayed or 

otherwise disclosed by Plaintiff's Counsel or Defendants' Counsel (collectively "Counsel"), or by

3. Counsel may exhibit and/or disclose CONFIDENTIAL SFHA INFORMATION only 

to the following categories of person and no others unless authorized by order of the Court: 

 a. Counsel; 

 b. Experts, investigators or consultants retained by Counsel to assist in the 

evaluation, preparation, or trial of this case. Before any expert, investigator, or consultant is

comply with the terms of this Protective Order by executing the NON DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT 

attached as Exhibit A to this Order. Counsel may make one copy of CONFIDENTIAL SFHA

power to authorize further disclosure of CONFIDENTIAL SFHA INFORMATION to any other 

person. 

4. Nothing contained in this order shall prohibit any person, including any persons 

described in 3(a-b) above, from using or referring to CONFIDENTIAL SFHA INFORMATION in 

motion papers or pleadings filed with the Court, provided that adequate provision is made to protect 

the confidentiality of the CONFIDENTIAL SFHA INFORMATION and provided that any portion of 

such motion papers or legal pleadings that reference said CONFIDENTIAL SFHA INFORMATION 

is filed under seal pursuant to the Court’s rules and procedures (see Civil Local Rule 79-5).
