“DEFENDANTS”) by and through their respective attorneys (referred to 

collectively as “THE PARTIES”), hereby enter into the following STIPULATION 

and PROTECTIVE ORDER (hereinafter “Protective Order”) concerning 

documents, materials and information to be produced by THE PARTIES. 

DEFENDANTS desire to maintain the confidentiality of the documents and/or 

things themselves as well as the confidentiality of the fact of their existence, their 

description and identity and their sum and substance. The parties, their attorneys, 

their experts, and their agents have agreed to comply with the letter and intent of 

such confidentiality. 

Specifically, the Parties to this action contemplate that discovery will involve 

information and documents that contain personal medical and financial information, 

trade secrets, proprietary or competitively sensitive financial and business 

information, and other private or confidential information. The Parties request entry 

of this Protective Order to establish procedures to enable the parties to obtain 

discovery of such information and documents; to protect against public disclosure; 

and to promptly resolve disputes over confidentiality. The Parties, through their 

counsel of record, stipulate as follows: 

1. Scope and Application of Protective Order. This Protective Order 

governs all documents, information, or other material that is designated 

“Confidential Information” as defined herein, and that is produced in connection 

with this litigation by any person or entity (the “producing party”) to any other 

person or entity (the “receiving party”), regardless whether the person or entity 

producing or receiving the Confidential Information is a party. The use of 

confidential documents and testimony and the information contained therein 

("Protected Material" or “Confidential Information”) by counsel in this litigation, 

and all others receiving said Protected Material from counsel, shall be strictly limited 

to use in this case alone and shall be subject to all the terms of this Protective Order.

2. Definitions. 

2.1. Confidential Information or Protected Material. “Confidential 

Information” or “Protected Material” means any information that is private, 

confidential, or proprietary, including, but not limited to, the following 

representative but non-exclusive examples: 

 personally identifiable information 

 medical records 

 taxes and other financial records 

 accounting or financial statements (not including publicly available 

financial statements) 

 trade secrets 

 commercial, financial, pricing, budgeting, revenue, profit, or 

accounting information 

 information about existing and potential customers 

 marketing studies and projections 

 business strategies, decisions, or negotiations 

 compensation, evaluations, and employment information 

 proprietary information about affiliates, parents, subsidiaries, and thirdparties with whom the parties have or have had business relationships 

 any other information whose disclosure could cause an invasion of 

privacy or competitive business harm. 

This Protective Order is warranted because certain documents, information, 

records, and other SUNBEAM and/or AMAZON materials contain proprietary or 

confidential information which is entitled to be protected by a Court Order against 

disclosure to competitors or to third persons for any purpose other than its use in this 

specific litigation. Confidential Information derives value from not being publicly 

known, and public disclosure could lead to serious and unwarranted injury. Such 

documents and other materials will be disclosed to the PLAINTIFF or other parties

subject to the stipulation that the use of such materials shall be limited by the terms 

of this Protective Order. 

2.2. Documents. The term “documents” includes all information or 

communications in any written or electronic form, regardless of format, and includes 

visual depictions such as photographs and videos. 

2.3 Attorneys’ Eyes Only. The label “Attorneys’ Eyes Only” shall 

be used in the manner proscribed in subparagraph 7.2 below and means that the only 

person(s) allowed to view information so labeled are counsel for the party who 

requests the information, subject to subparagraph 7.1(a) below, or an expert or 

consultant, subject to subparagraph 7.1(d) below. 

3. Designation of Confidential Information. 

3.1. Good Faith Claims. All claims of confidentiality and objections 

to those claims must be made under a good faith belief that the information satisfies 

(or, in the case of objections, does not satisfy) the definition of Confidential 

Information. 

3.2. Produced Documents. A party producing documents that it 

believes constitute or contain Confidential Information shall label the documents 

with the following legend or something substantially similar to clearly advise of the 

confidential nature of the contents: 

CONFIDENTIAL: Subject to Protective Order in Case No. 2:19-cv01776-KJM-EFB in the United States District Court, Eastern District 

of California 

The label shall not obliterate or obscure the contents. If a document containing 

Confidential Information is produced in native format, the file name shall contain 

the term “Confidential Information” or otherwise clearly indicate that it contains 

information subject to this Protective Order. If any person or party makes copies of 

documents designated as containing Confidential Information, each copy must be

marked as containing Confidential Information in the same form as the original 

document. 

A party producing documents that are stored on data storage devices shall 

designate the data storage device as containing Confidential Information, by labeling 

the data storage device and files as described above. If the receiving party or other 

persons or entities to whom disclosure is authorized under this Protective Order 

make a copy of any data storage device designated by the producing party as 

containing Confidential Information, the receiving party or other authorized person 

shall mark each copy as containing Confidential Information in the same form as the 

notice on the original data storage device. If the receiving party or other authorized 

person prints or makes copies of the documents stored on such data storage device, 

each page must be copied with the label specified in this section. 

3.3. Interrogatory Answers. If a party answering an interrogatory 

believes that its answer contains Confidential Information; it shall answer in a 

separate document that is designated as Confidential Information. 

3.4. Inspections of Documents. If the parties inspect documents 

rather than produce copies, no designation of Confidential Information needs to be 

made before the inspection. The party making documents available for inspection 

may designate categories of documents that contain Confidential Information, and 

the information contained in those documents shall be considered Confidential 

Information under this Protective Order. If the inspecting party selects documents to 

be copied, the producing party shall designate Confidential Information when the 

copies are produced. 

3.5. Deposition Transcripts. To the extent possible, testimony shall 

be designated confidential at the time it is given by deposition or otherwise, 

including any videotape depositions. Any confidential exhibits referred to in a 

deposition shall be noted as confidential in the record. The court reporter shall be 

advised of this Protective Order and given a copy of this Protective Order to be

included with any transcript of the deposition. No person except those permitted 

access to Confidential Information by this Protective Order can attend depositions 

when Confidential Information is disclosed. Within 30 days after receiving a 

deposition transcript, a party may inform the other parties if the transcript or portions 

of it are designated as Confidential Information. If a party indicates at a deposition 

that the Confidential Information has been disclosed in the deposition, the transcript 

in its entirety shall be treated as Confidential Information for the 30 days. All persons 

and parties in possession of a copy of a designated deposition transcript shall 

appropriately mark it as containing Confidential Information. The confidential 

portion or portions, including exhibits, of such transcript shall be subject fully to the 

terms and conditions of this Protective Order. To the extent that such Protected 

Material has been or may be in the future used in the taking of depositions, it shall 

remain subject to the provisions of this Protective Order, and so shall the transcript 

pages of all deposition testimony relating to said Protected Material. 

3.6. Multipage Documents. A party may designate all pages of an 

integrated, multipage document, including a deposition transcript and interrogatory 

answers, as Confidential Information by placing the label specified in subparagraph 

3.2 on the first page of the document. If a party wishes to designate only certain 

portions of an integrated, multipage document as Confidential Information, it should 

designate such portions immediately below the label on the first page of the 

document and place the labels specified in subparagraph 3.2 on each page of the 

document containing Confidential Information. 

3.7 Handling of Original Documents. The originals of the above 

described documents shall remain in the custody of Defendants or their counsel. All 

copies of such material, however obtained, shall be subject to the terms of this 

Protective Order. No additional copies of any of the Protected Material shall be made 

unless pursuant to instructions by counsel in this litigation and unless counsel 

maintains a strict accounting of each such copy.

4. Designations by Another Party. 

4.1. Notification of Designation. If a party other than the producing 

party believes that a producing party has produced a document that contains or 

constitutes Confidential Information of the non-producing party, the non-producing 

party may designate the document as Confidential Information by notifying all 

parties in writing within 30 days of service of the document. 

4.2. Return of Documents. Whenever a party other than the 

producing party designates a document as Confidential Information under 

subparagraph 4.1, each party receiving the document shall either add the 

Confidential Information designation or substitute a copy of the document bearing 

such designation for each copy of the document produced by the producing party. 

5. Objections to Designations. 

5.1. Notice of Objection. Any party objecting to a designation of 

Confidential Information, including objections to portions of designations of 

multipage documents, shall notify the designating party and all other parties of the 

objection in writing within 30 days of receiving the designation or, if a document is 

first produced fewer than 30 days before trial, within half of the time remaining 

before trial. This notice must identify each document that the objecting party in good 

faith believes should not be designated as Confidential Information and provide a 

brief statement of the grounds for such belief. 

5.2. Conference Regarding Objection. The parties with an interest in 

resolution of the objection shall confer within 10 days after such objection to attempt 

to resolve their differences, unless the parties agree to a longer time. If the parties 

cannot resolve their differences, the objecting party shall have 14 days after the 

conference to file a motion to remove the Confidential Information designation. 

5.3. Treatment after Objection Is Raised. All documents, information 

and other materials initially designated as Confidential Information shall be treated 

as Confidential Information in accordance with this Protective Order unless and until

the Court rules otherwise. If the Court rules that a Confidential Information 

designation should not be maintained as to a particular document, the producing 

party shall, upon written request by a party, provide that party a copy of that 

document without the Confidential Information designation. If the Court should 

determine that said information is not "privileged," or "proprietary" or otherwise 

"confidential" in nature, the parties and all those who have assisted the parties in the 

preparation and prosecution of this action, including expert witnesses, shall be 

relieved from the mandates of this Protective Order as it relates to such information. 

6. Custody. All Confidential Information and all copies, extracts, and 

summaries thereof, shall be retained by the receiving party in the custody of counsel 

of record, or by persons to whom disclosure is authorized under subparagraph 7.1. 

7. Handling of Confidential Information before Trial. 

7.1. Authorized Disclosures. Confidential Information shall be 

disclosed by the receiving party only to the following persons: 

a. Counsel for the parties, including their associates, clerks, 

paralegals, and secretarial personnel; 

b. Qualified persons taking testimony in this litigation involving 

such Confidential Information, and necessary stenographic, 

videotape and clerical personnel; 

c. Deposition and trial witnesses; 

d. Experts and their staff who are consulted by counsel for a party 

in this litigation; 

e. Parties and their employees and insurers with a discernible need 

to know; 

f. In-house counsel and paralegals; 

g. Vendors employed by counsel for copying, scanning, and 

handling of documents and data; and

h. The Court hearing this litigation and the Court’s staff, subject to 

the Court’s processes for filing materials under seal. 

Such disclosures are authorized only to the extent necessary to investigate, 

prosecute, or defend the litigation. Without further order from the Court, 

Confidential Information and/or Protected Material shall not be disclosed for any 

purpose to any other individual, whether employed by a party to this action or not, 

who is known to be associated in anyway with a competitor of SUNBEAM and/or 

any other SUNBEAM entity, or a competitor of AMAZON and/or any other 

AMAZON entity, with the exception of any expert who may be retained by any party 

for purposes of this case, provided his or her identity and position has been disclosed 

and he or she has signed a non-disclosure agreement in the form of Exhibit A 

attached to this Stipulation, prior to the disclosure of any Protected Material. The 

Protected Material shall not be disclosed for any purpose to any other individual who 

is not associated in any way to this litigation. 

7.2 Highly Sensitive Information. Certain documents to be produced 

by the parties may be highly sensitive, proprietary, commercial, or personal 

information. Such highly sensitive information shall be labeled, in addition to the 

marking described in subparagraph 3.2, as “FOR ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” and 

such information will be disclosed only to counsel for the requesting party, subject 

to subparagraph 7.1(a), or to an expert or consultant, subject to subparagraph 7.1(d), 

and not to the Parties or any other person. A party producing documents that it 

believes constitute highly sensitive information shall label the documents with the 

following legend or something substantially similar: 

CONFIDENTIAL - FOR ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY: Subject to 

Protective Order in Case No. 2:19-cv-01776-KJM-EFB in the 

United States District Court, Eastern District of California 

Documents labeled “FOR ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” are subject to all 

of the provisions of this Protective Order governing the use, disclosure, and

destruction of Confidential Information, as well as the additional restrictions 

contained in this subparagraph 7.2. 

7.3. Acknowledgement of Protective Order. Confidential 

Information may not be disclosed to persons under subparagraphs 7.1(c) or 7.1(d) 

until the receiving party has obtained a written acknowledgment from such person, 

in the form described in Appendix A, that he or she has received a copy of this 

Protective Order and has agreed to be bound by it. A party who discloses 

Confidential Information in accordance with subparagraphs 7.1(c) or 7.1(d) shall 

retain the written acknowledgment from each person receiving the Confidential 

Information, shall maintain a list of all persons to whom the party has disclosed the 

Confidential Information in accordance with subparagraphs 7.1(c) or 7.1(d), and 

shall furnish the written acknowledgements and disclosure list to the Court for in 

camera review upon its request. Furnishing the written acknowledgements and 

disclosure list to the Court shall not constitute a waiver of the attorney work product 

or attorney-client privilege. 

7.4. Disclosure to Competitors. Before disclosing Confidential 

Information to any authorized person who is a competitor (or an employee of a 

competitor) of the designating party, the party wishing to make such disclosure shall 

give at least 14 days written notice to the designating party, stating the names and 

addresses of the person(s) to whom the disclosure will be made, and identifying with 

particularity the documents to be disclosed. If, within the 14-day period, a motion is 

filed objecting to the proposed disclosure, disclosure is not authorized until the Court 

orders otherwise. For purposes of this Protective Order, “competitor” means any 

person or entity that operates any online or physical marketplace or retail business 

with more than 1,000 employees. 

7.5. Unauthorized Disclosures. All persons receiving Confidential 

Information under the terms of this Protective Order agree to the jurisdiction of this 

Court for all matters arising from the improper disclosure or use of such Confidential

Information. If Confidential Information is disclosed to any person other than in the 

manner authorized by this Protective Order, the party or person responsible for the 

disclosure, and any other party or person who is subject to this Protective Order and 

learns of such disclosure, shall immediately bring such disclosure to the attention of 

the designating party. Without prejudice to other rights and remedies of the 

designating party, the responsible party or person shall make every effort to retrieve 

the Confidential Information and to prevent further disclosure. The responsible party 

must also inform the person(s) to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all 

the terms of this Protective Order and obtain written acknowledgment from such 

person(s), in the form described in Appendix A. 

7.6. Court Filings. All material filed with the Court containing or 

disclosing Confidential Information shall be filed under seal, or in any other manner 

as designated by the Court to maintain the confidentiality of said material, and shall 

be available for inspection only by the Court, the Court’s staff, counsel of record to 

the parties and necessary employees of such counsel until further Court order, except 

as otherwise agreed by the parties and any consenting third party that designated the 

documents, materials, or information as Confidential Information. 

Without written permission from the Designating Party or a court order 

secured after appropriate notice to all interested persons, a Party may not file in the 

public record in this action Confidential Information. Confidential Information may 

only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the 

specific Confidential Information at issue. However, the designation of material as 

confidential, without more, is insufficient to obtain a sealing order. Any party that 

seeks to file Confidential Information under seal must comply with Local Rule 141, 

which governs motions for a sealing order. A sealing order will issue only upon a 

request establishing that the Confidential Information at issue is privileged, 

protectable as a trade secret, or otherwise entitled to protection under the law. 

Further, the briefing on the motion for a sealing order shall address U.S. Supreme

Court and Ninth Circuit standards for whether the material may be filed under seal. 

Regardless of which party files the motion for a sealing order, the party that 

designated the material as confidential shall file a brief addressing those standards, 

and shall have the burden of establishing that the Confidential Information should 

be filed but not made publicly available. 

8. Care in Storage. All persons having Confidential Information shall 

exercise reasonable care to protect against inadvertent disclosure, disclosure to 

unauthorized persons, and theft or hacking. 

9. Handling during Trial. Confidential Information that is subject to this 

Protective Order may be marked and used as trial exhibits by any party, subject to 

terms and conditions imposed by the Court. 

10. No Implied Waivers. The entry of this Protective Order shall not be 

interpreted as a waiver of the right to object to the furnishing of information or 

documents in response to discovery requests or to object to a requested inspection 

of documents or facilities. Nor is production of any document or information under 

this Protective Order an admission that it is admissible in evidence. Nothing in this 

Protective Order shall prejudice any party from seeking amendments hereto, 

broadening or restricting the rights of access to or the use of Protected Material, or 

otherwise modifying this Protective Order by agreement of counsel. This Protective 

Order or subsequent Court Order may be amended without leave of the Court by the 

agreement of counsel or the parties in the form of a Stipulation that shall be filed in 

this case. 

11. Inadvertent Failure to Designate as Confidential. The inadvertent 

failure to designate any information as Confidential does not waive a party’s claim 

of confidentiality. In the event of disclosure of such information, the information 

shall be designated as Confidential Information by the party as soon as reasonably 

possible after learning of the disclosure and such information shall thereafter be 

treated as Confidential Information subject to this Protective Order. No liability shall

attach to any party’s use or disclosure of such information from the time of receipt 

until the party properly designates it as Confidential Information. 

12. Inadvertent Disclosure of Privileged Documents or Information. If a 

party inadvertently produces a document or information that it could have withheld, 

in whole or in part, under a legitimate claim of privilege, the inadvertent production 

shall not waive any privilege or result in a subject matter waiver. 

A party who determines that it may have received potentially privileged 

documents or information shall immediately notify the producing party. 

A producing party may demand return of any inadvertently produced 

document or information, and the receiving party shall immediately return them (and 

any copies thereof) and delete all electronic versions and all notes or other work 

product reflecting the contents of such material. Alternatively, the receiving party 

may seek in camera review file an appropriate motion within 10 days to obtain a 

court ruling on privilege, and the parties shall not use such documents or information 

until the court rules. 

13. Parties’ Own Documents. This Protective Order does not restrict the 

parties in their use or disclosure of their own documents and information. 

14. Motion to Compel Production of Confidential Information. If any third 

party moves to compel production of Confidential Information, the party subject to 

such motion shall immediately notify the parties who originally produced or 

designated the Confidential Information to allow them an opportunity to oppose the 

motion. In addition, if a party is ordered to produce Confidential Information 

covered by this Protective Order, notice and, if available, a copy of the order 

compelling disclosure, shall immediately be given to the parties who originally 

produced or designated such Confidential Information. Nothing in this Protective 

Order requires the party who is ordered to produce such Confidential Information to 

challenge or appeal such an order.

15. No Effect on Other Rights. This Protective Order does not abrogate or 

affect any pre-existing contractual, statutory, or other legal obligations or rights of 

any party with respect to Confidential Information. 

16. Handling upon Conclusion of Litigation. At the conclusion of this 

litigation, including any appeals, the parties shall account for each and every copy 

of the Protected Material and also summaries of the information contained therein, 

and shall, at Defendants’ election, destroy or return all copies and summaries of the 

Protected Material to SUNBEAM, AMAZON, or their counsel. All parties, counsel, 

and persons to whom disclosure was made shall return all Confidential Information 

to the designating party within 90 days of the conclusion of litigation. Counsel shall 

certify in writing that all such Confidential Information has been returned. Counsel 

for each party also shall contact each person to whom that party has provided a copy 

of any Confidential Information and request the documents be returned. In lieu of 

returning Confidential Information, the person or party possessing it may destroy it 

and certify such destruction in writing. Each party shall also destroy all 

undesignated copies of the document or return those copies to the producing party, 

at the direction of the producing party. 

17. Protected Material Subpoenaed or Ordered Produced in Other 

Litigation. If a party is served with a subpoena or a court order in other litigation 

that compels disclosure of any information designated in this action as Confidential 

Information, that party must: 

i. Promptly provide written notice to the designating party. Such 

notification shall include a copy of the subpoena or court order; 

ii. Promptly provide written notice to the party who caused the subpoena 

or court order to issue in the other litigation that some or all of the 

material covered by the subpoena or order is subject to this Protective 

Order. Such notification shall include a copy of this Protective Order; 

and

iii. Cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be 

pursued by the designating party whose Confidential Information may 

be affected. 

If the designating party timely seeks a protective order, the party served with 

the subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this 

action as Confidential Information before a determination by the court from which 

the subpoena or order issued, unless the party has obtained the designating party’s 

permission. The designating party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking 

protection in that court of its confidential material and nothing in these provisions 

should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a receiving party in this action to 

disobey a lawful directive from another court. 

18. Non-Party’s Protected Material Sought to be Produced in This 

Litigation. The terms of this Protective Order are applicable to information 

produced by a non-party in this action and designated as Confidential Information. 

Such information produced by a non-party in connection with this litigation is 

protected by the remedies and relief provided by this Protective Order. Nothing in 

these provisions should be construed as prohibiting a non-party from seeking 

additional protection. 

In the event that a party is required, by a valid discovery request, to produce 

a non-party’s protected material in its possession, and the party is subject to an 

agreement with the non-party not to produce the non-party’s protected material, then 

the party shall: 

i. Promptly provide written notice to the requesting party and the nonparty that some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality 

agreement with a non-party; 

ii. Promptly provide the non-party with a copy of this Protective Order, 

the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably specific description of the 

information requested; and

iii. Make the information requested available for inspection by the nonparty. 

If the non-party fails to object or seek a protective order from this court within 

14 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the receiving party 

may produce the non-party’s protected material responsive to the discovery request. 

If the non-party timely seeks a protective order, the receiving party shall not produce 

any information in its possession or control that is subject to the confidentiality 

agreement with the non-party before a determination by the court. Absent a court 

order to the contrary, the non-party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking 

protection in this court of its protected material. 

19. This Protective Order may be executed in one or more counterparts, 

each of which, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed an original, but all 

of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. PDF and 

faxed execution of this Protective Order will constitute original signatures for all 

purposes. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
