The transcripts of such deposition testimony shall be 13 treated the same under this Order as other Documents marked Confidential. The court 14 reporter and videographer, if any, for any such deposition, shall be provided a copy of this 15 Order by the Party at whose instance the deposition is taken, shall acknowledge this Order 16 on the record and shall not disclose to anyone other than those specified in paragraph 3 any 17 deposition testimony or exhibit in this case. 18 7.

The Party challenging the designation shall initiate the dispute 3 resolution process by providing written notice of each designation it is challenging and 4 describing the basis for each challenge. To avoid ambiguity as to whether a challenge has 5 been made, the written notice must recite that the challenge to confidentiality is being made 6 in accordance with this specific paragraph of this Order. The Parties shall attempt to resolve 7 each challenge in good faith and must begin this process by conferring directly (in voice to 8 voice dialog; other forms of communications are not sufficient) within fourteen (14) days of 9 the date of service of notice. In conferring, the Challenging Party must explain the basis for 10 its belief that the confidentiality designation was not proper and must give the Designating 11 Party an opportunity to review the designated material, to reconsider the circumstance, and if 12 no change in designation is offered, to explain the basis for the chosen designation. A 13 Challenging Party may proceed to the next stage of the challenge process only if it has 14 engaged in this meet and confer process first or establishes the Designating Party is 15 unwilling to participate in the meet and confer process first or establishes the Designating 16 Party is unwilling to participate in the meet and confer process in a timely manner. 17 c. If the Parties cannot resolve a challenge without Court intervention, the 18 Challenging Party shall file and serve a motion to retain confidentiality within twenty-one 19 (21) days of the initial notice of challenge or within fourteen (14) days of the Parties’ 20 agreeing that the meet and confer process will not resolve their dispute, whichever is earlier. 21 Each such motion must be accompanied by a competent declaration affirming that the 22 movant has complied with the meet and confer requirements imposed in the preceding 23 paragraph. Failure by the Challenging Party to make such a motion, including the required 24 declaration within twenty-one (21) days (or fourteen (14) days, if applicable), shall 25 automatically waive the challenge to the confidential designation. 26 Challenging Party may file a motion challenging a confidentiality designation at any time if 27 there is good cause for doing so, including a challenge for the designation of a deposition 28 transcript or any portions thereof Any motion brought pursuant to this provision must be 8 STIPULATION FOR PROTECTIVE ORDER; PROTECTIVE ORDER In addition, the 1 accompanied by a competent declaration affirming that the movant has complied with the 2 meet and confer requirements imposed by the preceding paragraph. 3 The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on the 4 Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for improper purpose (e.g., to 5 harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on the other Parties) may expose the 6 Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless a Designating Party has waived the confidentiality 7 designation by failing to file a motion to retain confidentiality as described above, all Parties 8 shall continue to afford the material in question, the level of protection to which it is entitled 9 under the Producing Party’s designation until the Court rules on the challenge. 10 9. All writings submitted to or filed with the Court in connection with any pre- 11 trial proceedings which contain, set forth, summarize or otherwise disclose Confidential 12 Documents or information shall be filed under seal and such Documents shall not be publicly 13 available, except by further order of this Court. The Parties acknowledge Local Rule 141 14 governs the filing of Documents under seal. 15 10. At the trial of this cause, the Parties agree that the protection of the 16 confidentiality of Confidential Documents shall continue to the maximum extent permitted 17 by the Court, pursuant to such procedures as the Court may require. 18 11. If any Party or Person that has obtained Confidential Documents or 19 information under the terms of this Order receives a subpoena or other legal process 20 commanding the production of any such Confidential Documents or information (“the 21 subpoena”), such Party or Person shall promptly notify the Party or Person that designated 22 the Documents or information as Confidential of the service of the subpoena. The Party or 23 Person receiving the subpoena shall not produce any Confidential Document or information 24 in response to the subpoena without either the prior written consent of the Producing Party, 25 or an order of a court of competent jurisdiction. However, the Producing Party in such case 26 shall have the burden of seeking a court order relieving the subpoenaed Party or Person of 27 the obligations of the subpoena prior to the return date of such subpoena, or the subpoenaed 28 Person or Party shall be relieved of its obligations under this paragraph. 9 STIPULATION FOR PROTECTIVE ORDER; PROTECTIVE ORDER 1 12. The inadvertent production in the course of discovery in this action of any 2 Document or information (whether designated as Confidential or not) shall not be deemed to 3 waive whatever attorney-client privilege, work product protection or other privilege or 4 immunity that would otherwise attach to the Document or information produced or to other 5 Documents or information, as long as the Producing Party or Person, promptly after 6 discovery of the inadvertent production, notifies the other Party or Parties of the claim of 7 privilege or other protection or immunity. 8 Receiving Parties that certain inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of 9 privilege or other protection, the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in When a Producing Party gives notice to 10 Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). 11 whatever procedure may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for production 12 without prior privilege review.

If the 8 Non-Party timely objects, the Receiving Party shall not produce any information in its 9 possession or control that is subject to the confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party 10 before a determination by the court.1 Absent a court order to the contrary, the Party seeking 11 the material shall bear the burden and expense of seeking protection from this court of its 12 Protected Material. 13 15. If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed 14 Confidential Material to any person or in any circumstances not authorized under this 15 Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in writing the 16 Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts to retrieve all 17 unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform the person or persons to whom 18 unauthorized disclosures were made of all of the terms of this Order, and (d) request such 19 person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” that is 20 attached hereto as Exhibit “A.” 21 16.
