RPD1.2542, RPD1.2549-2550, RPD1.2588-2591,RPD1.2596-2605, and RPD1.2627-2632.

Defendants further represent that these documents constitute the entirety of the responsive

documents claimed as privileged.

Defendants contend that the Stipulated Documents should be subject to a protective

order. Plaintiffs do not concede that the documents are such that they ultimately should be

subject to such an order. However, in order to expedite their production, Plaintiffs herein

stipulate that the Stipulated Documents shall be treated as protected documents under this

Stipulated Protective Order unless and until otherwise designated by the Court.

Therefore, subject to and without waiving any objections to admissibility of 

the Stipulated Documents, the parties hereby stipulate that access to and use of such

Stipulated Documents and the non-public information contained therein shall be governed

by the terms of this Stipulated Protective Order, and that the terms of this stipulated

protective order may be entered by the Court. This Stipulated Protective Order shall also

apply to all non-public information contained in any extracts or summaries of the Stipulated

Documents.

Accordingly, Plaintiffs and Defendants, by and through their respective counsel of

record, hereby stipulate to the entry of the following Stipulated Protective Order regarding

the disclosure and production of the above stated Stipulated Documents:

1. The Stipulated Documents will be produced by Defendants to Plaintiffs

bearing the designation “CONFIDENTIAL.”

2. The non-public information contained in the Stipulated Documents shall be

used only for the purpose of the prosecution, defense, or settlement of this action and the

related action for which discovery is merged, Mansourian v. Regents of the University of

California, et al., E.D. Cal. Case No. S-03-2591-FCD/PAN. Plaintiffs, their counsel and

their agents shall not disclose, release, or otherwise publish any of the non-public

information contained in the Stipulated Documents except as necessary in the litigation of

either case.

3. Stipulated Documents produced pursuant to this Stipulated Protected Order

may be disclosed or made available only to the Court, court reporters employed in the

litigation, the parties, counsel for the parties, (including the paralegal, clerical, and

secretarial staff employed by such counsel), witnesses at trial or deposition, expert

witnesses and/or consultants, and persons whose review or input on the documents is

necessary to the prosecution, defense, or settlement of this action and the related action for

which discovery is merged, Mansourian v. Regents of the University of California, et al.,

E.D. Cal. Case No. S-03-2591-FCD/PAN (“Qualified Persons”).

4. All persons who obtain access to the Stipulated Documents pursuant to this

Stipulated Protective Order shall also be subject to its terms and shall agree not to disclose

any of the non-public information obtained except under the terms of this order.

5. The portion of any deposition in which non-public information from the

Stipulated Documents is discussed shall be taken only in the presence of the court reporter

and the Qualified Persons listed above unless counsel for all parties agree otherwise.

6. The portion of any motion, application, petition, or the like, filed with the

Court which includes non-public information from the Stipulated Documents shall be filed

under seal unless counsel for all parties agree otherwise.

7. Nothing in this Stipulated Protective Order shall impose any restriction on the

use or disclosure of material obtained independent of the aforementioned Stipulated

Documents, whether or not such material is also contained therein. Nor shall this Stipulated

Protective Order restrict any party from disclosing such independently obtained information

as he/she deems appropriate. The production and receipt of the Stipulated Documents shall

not constitute an admission that the information contained therein is confidential or

otherwise privileged; nor shall it constitute an admission or waiver with respect to the

ultimate admissibility of the Stipulated Documents or the information contained therein.

8. This Stipulated Protective Order shall survive the final termination of this

action and the Court shall retain jurisdiction to resolve any dispute concerning the use of
