Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c), and in consideration of the mutual covenants
2
contained herein, the undersigned counsel for the parties hereby stipulate as follows, and it is hereby
3
ordered:
4
1. In connection with this Action, any party may designate any documents, electronically stored
5
6
information, materials, things, discovery materials, materials filed with this Court, testimony,
7
or other information derived therefrom, as “CONFIDENTIAL” pursuant to the terms of this
8
Stipulated Protective Order (“Order”). Either the producing or receiving party may designate
9
as “CONFIDENTIAL” any material or information that such party reasonably believes in good
10
11
faith is subject to confidential protection under the law, including but not limited to Fed. R.
Civ. P. 26(c) or other applicable statutory or common law, including trade secrets; confidential
12
13
research, development, or other commercial information; other proprietary or sensitive
14
business information; or personal, medical, or personnel information. Any materials
15
designated in accordance with this paragraph shall hereinafter be referred to as “Confidential
16
Materials.”
17
18
2. A producing party may designate Confidential Materials by stamping the materials with the
legend “CONFIDENTIAL.” Stamping “CONFIDENTIAL” on the cover of any multi-page
19
document shall designate all pages of the document as “CONFIDENTIAL,” unless otherwise
20
21
indicated by the designating party. Any confidential material produced on disks or other
22
computer-related media may be designated as Confidential by labeling the media as
23
“CONFIDENTIAL.”
24
25
26
3. Confidential Materials shall be maintained in strict confidence by all persons permitted access
to such Confidential Materials pursuant to the terms of this Order. However, the mere fact that
any document or information is designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” pursuant to this Order shall
27
28
1139580.2 / 102-007
-2-
1
not signify that any such document or information is in fact confidential or be construed as an
2
admission that such document or information is confidential.
3
4. Deposition transcripts, or portions thereof, may be designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” by (a)
4
making a statement to that effect on the record at the deposition, or (b) counsel’s written
5
6
7
designation of certain pages of the transcript as “CONFIDENTIAL” within fourteen (14) days
of the receipt of the transcript by attorneys for all parties.
8
5. Confidential Materials marked as “CONFIDENTIAL” shall not be used for any purpose except
9
in connection with this litigation, and shall not be delivered or disclosed, in whole or in part, to
10
11
any person except:
a. the Court and its officers (including court reporters);
12
13
b. counsel of record for the parties and their staff, as well as employees of third party
vendors engaged to provide litigation support services;
14
15
c. the parties, and any current employees of the parties who are involved in the
16
17
18
prosecution, defense, and/or appeal of this action;
d. the parties’ independent experts retained in connection with this action; and
e. non-party deposition and trial witnesses.
19
6. Before disclosure of Confidential Materials is made to any person (other than persons
20
21
described in subsections (a), (b), and (c) of paragraph 5), the party seeking to disclose such
22
Confidential Materials shall obtain such person’s written agreement, in the form of the Exhibit
23
attached hereto. In the event that a deposition witness fails or refuses to sign the Exhibit, the
24
party wishing to disclose such Confidential Materials at deposition shall, on the record, inform
25
the witness of the existence of the Stipulated Protective Order, and instruct the witness not to
26
disclose any information contained in the Confidential Materials to anyone other than for
27
purposes of the litigation. No disclosure shall be made to any such person unless such person
28
1139580.2 / 102-007
-3-
1
first complies with this paragraph. The party disclosing Confidential Materials to such persons
2
shall retain a copy of all such statements signed by any such persons to whom disclosure is
3
made, and shall provide a copy of any such statement to the other parties upon request.
4
5
7. Before any materials produced in discovery, answers to interrogatories, responses to requests
6
for admissions, deposition transcripts, or other documents which are designated as Confidential
7
Information are filed with the Court for any purpose, the party seeking to file such material
8
shall seek permission of the Court to file said material under seal. The parties will follow and
9
abide by applicable law, including Civ. L.R. 7.3, with respect to filing documents under seal in
10
this Court. In the event that the filing must be made public, the Confidential material must be
11
redacted before filing.
12
8. All persons are hereby placed on notice that the Court is unlikely to seal or otherwise afford
13
14
confidential treatment to any Confidential Materials introduced in evidence at trial, even if
15
such material has previously been sealed or designated as CONFIDENTIAL. The Court also
16
retains unfettered discretion whether or not to afford confidential treatment to any Confidential
17
Materials submitted to the Court in connection with any motion, application, or proceeding
18
that may result in an order and/or decision by the Court.
19
9. Within forty-five (45) days after the final disposition of this action, including all appeals, all
20
21
Confidential Materials shall either be returned to the party that produced them at that party’s
22
expense or be destroyed; provided however, that counsel and the parties may retain copies of
23
pleadings, motion papers, transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, or attorney work
24
product, even if such materials contain Confidential Materials. Upon request of the producing
25
party, and not more than sixty (60) days after final disposition of this action, including appeals,
26
counsel who received the Confidential Materials shall deliver a written certification certifying
27
28
1139580.2 / 102-007
-4-
1
compliance with the terms of this Order to counsel for the party that produced the Confidential
2
Materials.
3
10. If, through inadvertence, a producing party discloses any document or information that it
4
believes should have been designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” it may subsequently, within a
5
6
reasonable period after the discovery of such inadvertence, designate such document or
7
information as “CONFIDENTIAL.” After such designation is made, all receiving parties shall
8
treat the Confidential Materials accordingly. If any Confidential Materials have been disclosed
9
by the receiving party prior to the designation, the receiving party shall notify the producing
10
11
party and shall also make a good faith effort to have the Confidential Materials returned.
11. Any party may object to the designation of any document or information as
12
13
“CONFIDENTIAL” pursuant to this Order, and in any motion regarding such designation, the
14
designating party shall have the burden of establishing that the designation is appropriate.
15
Counsel for the parties shall meet and confer in an attempt to resolve any disputes about the
16
designation or treatment of any document or information before presenting such disputes to the
17
Court. If a dispute as to a Confidential designation of a document or item of information
18
cannot be resolved by agreement, the proponent of the designation being challenged shall
19
present the dispute to the Court by motion for an order regarding the challenged designation.
20
21
The document or information that is the subject of the filing shall be treated as originally
22
designated pending resolution of the dispute. When the inadvertent or mistaken disclosure of
23
any information, document or thing protected by privilege or work-product immunity is
24
discovered by the producing party and brought to the attention of the receiving party, the
25
receiving party’s treatment of such material shall be in accordance with Federal Rules of Civil
26
Procedure and California Law. Such inadvertent or mistaken disclosure of such information,
27
document or thing shall not by itself constitute a waiver by the producing party of any claims
28
1139580.2 / 102-007
-5-
1
of privilege or work-product immunity. However, nothing herein restricts the right of the
2
receiving party to challenge the producing party’s claim of privilege if appropriate within a
3
reasonable time after receiving notice of the inadvertent or mistaken disclosure.
4
5
6
12. Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL-ATTORNEY EYES ONLY” Information or Items.
7
Confidential Materials that are designated “Confidential-Attorney Eyes Only” may be
8
disclosed only to persons described in subsections (a), (b), and (d) of paragraph 5 and only to
9
the extent such persons have a legitimate need to know the contents of Confidential Materials
10
disclosed to them.
11
12
13
13. No information that is in the public domain or which is already known by the receiving party
14
through proper means or which is or becomes available to a party from a source other than the
15
party asserting confidentiality, rightfully in possession of such information on a non-
16
confidential basis, shall be deemed or considered to be Confidential material under this
17
Stipulated Protective Order.
18
14. Each person or entity that produces or receives discovery materials hereby agrees to subject
19
itself to the jurisdiction of this Court for the purpose of any proceedings related to the
20
enforcement of this Order.
