STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 

CASE NO. 2:16-CV-00058-JAM-EFB 

3. SCOPE 

The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only 

Protected Material (as defined above), but also (1) any information copied or extracted 

from Protected Material; (2) all copies, excerpts, summaries, or compilations of 

Protected Material; and (3) any testimony, conversations, or presentations by Parties 

or their Counsel that might reveal Protected Material. However, the protections 

conferred by this Stipulation and Order do not cover the following information: (a) 

any information that is in the public domain at the time of disclosure to a Receiving 

Party or becomes part of the public domain after its disclosure to a Receiving Party as 

a result of publication not involving a violation of this Order, including becoming part 

of the public record through trial or otherwise; and (b) any information known to the 

Receiving Party prior to the disclosure or obtained by the Receiving Party after the 

disclosure from a source who obtained the information lawfully and under no 

obligation of confidentiality to the Designating Party. Any use of Protected Material at 

trial shall be governed by a separate agreement or order. 

4. DURATION 

Even after final disposition of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations 

imposed by this Order shall remain in effect until a Designating Party agrees 

otherwise in writing or a court order otherwise directs. Final disposition shall be 

deemed to be the later of (1) dismissal of all claims and defenses in this action, with or 

without prejudice; and (2) final judgment herein after the completion and exhaustion 

of all appeals, rehearings, remands, trials, or reviews of this action, including the time 

limits for filing any motions or applications for extension of time pursuant to 

applicable law. 

5. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL 

 5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection. 

Each Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under this

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 

CASE NO. 2:16-CV-00058-JAM-EFB 

Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that qualifies 

under the appropriate standards. The Designating Party must designate for protection 

only those parts of material, documents, items, or oral or written communications that 

qualify – so that other portions of the material, documents, items, or communications 

for which protection is not warranted are not swept unjustifiably within the ambit of 

this Order. 

Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations 

that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper 

purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber or retard the case development process or to 

impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) expose the Designating 

Party to sanctions. 

 If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it 

designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must 

promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the mistaken designation. 

5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in 

this Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise 

stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection 

under this Order must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or 

produced. 

Designation in conformity with this Order requires: 

(a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic 

documents, but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial 

proceedings), that the Producing Party affix the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” to each 

page that contains protected material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a 

page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the 

protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins).

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 

CASE NO. 2:16-CV-00058-JAM-EFB 

A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents or materials available for 

inspection need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has 

indicated which material it would like copied and produced. During the inspection 

and before the designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be 

deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has identified the documents 

it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine which documents, 

or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order. Then, before producing 

the specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the “CONFIDENTIAL” 

legend to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a portion or portions of 

the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly 

identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the 

margins). 

(b) for testimony given in deposition or in other pretrial or trial proceedings, 

that the Designating Party identify on the record, before the close of the deposition, 

hearing, or other proceeding, all protected testimony. 

(c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and for 

any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the 

exterior of the container or containers in which the information or item is stored the 

legend “CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a portion or portions of the information or item 

warrant protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the 

protected portion(s). 

5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent 

failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive the 

Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such material. 

Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable 

efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this 

Order.

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 

CASE NO. 2:16-CV-00058-JAM-EFB 

6. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS 

6.1 Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a 

designation of confidentiality at any time. Unless a prompt challenge to a Designating 

Party’s confidentiality designation is necessary to avoid foreseeable, substantial 

unfairness, unnecessary economic burdens, or a significant disruption or delay of the 

litigation, a Party does not waive its right to challenge a confidentiality designation 

by electing not to mount a challenge promptly after the original designation is 

disclosed. 

6.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute 

resolution process by providing written notice of each designation it is challenging 

and describing the basis for each challenge. To avoid ambiguity as to whether a 

challenge has been made, the written notice must recite that the challenge to 

confidentiality is being made in accordance with this specific paragraph of the 

Protective Order. The parties shall attempt to resolve each challenge in good faith and 

must begin the process by conferring directly (in voice to voice dialogue; other forms 

of communication are not sufficient) within 14 days of the date of service of notice. 

In conferring, the Challenging Party must explain the basis for its belief that the 

confidentiality designation was not proper and must give the Designating Party an 

opportunity to review the designated material, to reconsider the circumstances, and, 

if no change in designation is offered, to explain the basis for the chosen designation. 

A Challenging Party may proceed to the next stage of the challenge process only if it 

has engaged in this meet and confer process first or establishes that the Designating 

Party is unwilling to participate in the meet and confer process in a timely manner. 

6.3 Judicial Intervention. If the Parties cannot resolve a challenge without 

court intervention, the Designating Party shall file and serve a motion to retain 

confidentiality under Civil Local Rule 230 (and in compliance with Local Rule 141, 

if applicable) within 21 days of the initial notice of challenge or within 14 days of the

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 

CASE NO. 2:16-CV-00058-JAM-EFB 

parties agreeing that the meet and confer process will not resolve their dispute, 

whichever is earlier. Each such motion must be accompanied by a competent 

declaration affirming that the movant has complied with the meet and confer 

requirements imposed in the preceding paragraph. Failure by the Designating Party to 

make such a motion including the required declaration within 21 days (or 14 days, if 

applicable) shall automatically waive the confidentiality designation for each 

challenged designation. In addition, the Challenging Party may file a motion 

challenging a confidentiality designation at any time if there is good cause for doing 

so, including a challenge to the designation of a deposition transcript or any portions 

thereof. Any motion brought pursuant to this provision must be accompanied by a 

competent declaration affirming that the movant has complied with the meet and 

confer requirements imposed by the preceding paragraph. 

The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on the 

Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper purpose 

(e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may 

expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating Party has waived 

the confidentiality designation by failing to file a motion to retain confidentiality as 

described above, all parties shall continue to afford the material in question the level 

of protection to which it is entitled under the Producing Party’s designation until the 

court rules on the challenge. 

7. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 

 7.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is 

disclosed or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this case 

only for prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this litigation. Such Protected 

Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the conditions 

described in this Order. When the litigation has been terminated, a Receiving Party 

must comply with the provisions of section 13 below (FINAL DISPOSITION).

Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a 

location and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons 

authorized under this Order. 

7.2 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless 

otherwise ordered by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a 

Receiving Party may disclose any information or item designated “CONFIDENTIAL” 

only to: 

(a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this action, as well as 

employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably necessary to 

disclose the information for this litigation and who have signed the “Acknowledgment 

and Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A; 

(b)the officers, directors, and employees (including In-House Counsel) of 

the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation 

and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit 

A); 

(c) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom 

disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the 

“Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 

(d)the court and its personnel; 

(e) court reporters and their staff, professional jury or trial consultants, 

mock jurors, and Professional Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary 

for this litigation and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be 

Bound” (Exhibit A); 

(f) during their depositions, witnesses in the action to whom disclosure is 

reasonably necessary and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to 

Be Bound” (Exhibit A), unless otherwise agreed by the Designating Party or ordered 

by the court. Pages of transcribed deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that

(g) the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a 

custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information. 

 8. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED 

IN OTHER LITIGATION 

If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation 

that compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this action as 

“CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must: 

(a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification 

shall include a copy of the subpoena or court order; 

(b)promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or 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 

Stipulated Protective Order; and 

(c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be 

pursued by the Designating Party whose Protected Material 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” 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.

 9. A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE 

PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION 

(a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a NonParty in this action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information 

produced by Non-Parties in connection with this litigation is protected by the 

remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in these provisions should be 

construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional protections. 

(b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to 

produce a Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is 

subject to an agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s 

confidential information, then the Party shall: 

(1) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the NonParty that some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality 

agreement with a Non-Party; 

(2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated 

Protective Order in this litigation, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably 

specific description of the information requested; and 

(3) make the information requested available for inspection by the 

Non-Party. 

(c) 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 confidential information 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.

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 

CASE NO. 2:16-CV-00058-JAM-EFB 

10. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 

If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed 

Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this 

Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in 

writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts 

to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform the person or 

persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this Order, 

and (d) request such person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment and 

Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A. 

11. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE 

 PROTECTED MATERIAL 

 When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain 

inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection, 

the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil 

Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify whatever procedure 

may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for production without prior 

privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) and (e), insofar as the 

parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure of a communication or 

information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work product protection, the 

parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated protective order submitted to 

the court. 

12. MISCELLANEOUS 

12.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any 

person to seek its modification by the court in the future. 

12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this 

Protective Order no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to 

disclosing or producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in this

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 

CASE NO. 2:16-CV-00058-JAM-EFB 

Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on any 

ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective Order. 

12.3 Filing Protected Material. 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 any Protected Material. 

A Party that seeks to file under seal any Protected Material must comply with Local 

Rule 141. Protected Material may only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order 

authorizing the sealing of the specific Protected Material at issue. Pursuant to Local 

Rule 141, a sealing order will issue only upon a showing required by applicable law. 

13. FINAL DISPOSITION 

 Within 60 days after the final disposition of this action, as defined in paragraph 

4, each Receiving Party must return all Protected Material to the Producing Party or 

destroy such material. As used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes 

all copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries, and any other format reproducing or 

capturing any of the Protected Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or 

destroyed, the Receiving Party must submit a written certification to the Producing 

Party (and, if not the same person or entity, to the Designating Party) by the 60 day 

deadline that (1) identifies (by category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material 

that was returned or destroyed and (2) affirms that the Receiving Party has not 

retained any copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other format 

reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this 

provision, Counsel are entitled to retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion 

papers, trial, deposition, and hearing transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, 

deposition and trial exhibits, expert reports, attorney work product, and consultant 

and expert work product, even if such materials contain Protected Material. Any such 

archival copies that contain or constitute Protected Material remain subject to this 

Protective Order as set forth in Section 4 (DURATION).
