DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
5.1
Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection.
Hunton & Williams LLP
Each Party or non-party that designates information or items for protection under this
10
550 South Hope Street, Suite 2000
Los Angeles, California 90071-2627
9
Protective Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that
11
qualifies under the appropriate standards. A Designating Party must designate for
12
protection only those parts of Disclosure or Discovery Material, so that other portions
13
of Disclosure or Discovery Material for which protection is not warranted are not
14
swept unjustifiably within the ambit of this Protective Order.
15
If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that Disclosure or Discovery
16
Material that that Party designated for protection does not qualify for protection at all,
17
or does not qualify for the level of protection initially asserted, that Designating Party
18
must promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the improper designation.
19
The Designating Party shall then provide within 7 days to the Receiving Party a set of
20
documents that bear the proper designation.
21
5.2
Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in
22
this Protective Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as
23
otherwise stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for
24
protection under this Protective Order must be clearly so designated before the
25
material is disclosed or produced.
26
Designation in conformity with this Protective Order requires:
27

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
CASE NO. CV-12-00601 JW
1
(a)
For Disclosure or Discovery Material in documentary form (e.g., paper or
2
electronic documents, but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial
3
proceedings), that the Designating Party affix the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” or
4
“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – Attorneys’ Eyes Only” on each page that contains
5
Protected Material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for
6
protection, the Designating Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s)
7
(e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins) and must specify for each
8
portion, the level of protection being asserted (either “CONFIDENTIAL” or
9
“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – Attorneys’ Eyes Only”).
Hunton & Williams LLP
550 South Hope Street, Suite 2000
Los Angeles, California 90071-2627
10
A Party or non-party that makes original Disclosure or Discovery Material
11
available for inspection need not designate them for protection until after the
12
inspecting Party has indicated which Disclosure or Discovery Material it seeks to have
13
copied and produced. During the inspection and before the designation, all of the
14
Disclosure or Discovery Material made available for inspection shall be deemed
15
“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – Attorneys’ Eyes Only.” After the inspecting Party has
16
identified the Disclosure or Discovery Material it seeks to have copied and produced,
17
the Designating Party must determine which documents, or portions thereof, qualify
18
for protection under this Protective Order. Prior to producing the specified Disclosure
19
or Discovery Material, the Designating Party must affix the appropriate legend (either
20
“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – Attorneys’ Eyes Only”) on
21
each page as set forth above.
22
(b)
For Disclosure or Discovery Material in the form of testimony given in
23
deposition or in other pretrial or trial proceedings, that the Designating Party identify
24
on the record, before the close of the deposition, hearing, or other proceeding, all
25
protected testimony, and further specify any portions of the testimony that qualify as
26
“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – Attorneys’ Eyes Only.”
27
28
5
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
CASE NO. CV-12-00601 JW
1
Any party may also designate testimony that is entitled to protection by
2
notifying all Parties in writing within twenty (20) days of receipt of the transcript, of
3
the specific pages and lines of the transcript that should be treated as
4
“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – Attorneys’ Eyes Only”
5
thereafter. Each Party shall attach a copy of such written notice or notices to the face
6
of the transcript and each copy thereof in its possession, custody or control.
7
(c)
For Disclosure or Discovery Material produced in some form other than
8
documentary or testimony form, and for any other items, that the Designating Party
9
affix in a prominent place on the exterior of the container or containers in which the
Hunton & Williams LLP
550 South Hope Street, Suite 2000
Los Angeles, California 90071-2627
10
information or item is stored the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY
11
CONFIDENTIAL – Attorneys’ Eyes Only.” If only a portion or portions of the
12
information or item warrant protection, the Designating Party, to the extent
13
practicable, shall identify the protected portion(s) and affix the appropriate legend
14
(either “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – Attorneys’ Eyes
15
Only”).
16
5.3
Inadvertent Failures to Designate. An inadvertent failure to designate
17
qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive the Designating Party’s
18
right to secure protection under this Protective Order for such material. If any
19
Disclosure or Discovery Material is appropriately designated as “CONFIDENTIAL”
20
or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – Attorneys’ Eyes Only” after the material was
21
initially produced, the Receiving Party, on notification of the designation, must make
22
reasonable efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the
23
provisions of this Protective Order. The Designating Party shall provide within 7 days
24
to the Receiving Party a new set of documents that bear the proper
25
“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL” designation that shall then
26
replace the document that bore the improper designation.

CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
6.1
Timing of Challenges. Unless a prompt challenge to a Designating
3
Party’s confidentiality designation is necessary to avoid foreseeable, substantial
4
unfairness, unnecessary economic burdens, or a significant disruption or delay of the
5
litigation, a Party does not waive its right to challenge a confidentiality designation by
6
electing not to mount a challenge promptly after the original designation is disclosed.
7
6.2
Meet and Confer. A Party that elects to initiate a challenge to a
8
Designating Party’s confidentiality designation must first meet and confer in good
9
faith with counsel for the Designating Party. In conferring, the Party challenging the
Hunton & Williams LLP
550 South Hope Street, Suite 2000
Los Angeles, California 90071-2627
10
designation must explain the basis for its belief that the confidentiality designation
11
was not proper and must give the Designating Party an opportunity to review the
12
designated material, to reconsider the circumstances, and, if no change in designation
13
is offered, to explain the basis for the chosen designation. A Party challenging a
14
designation may proceed to the next stage of the challenge process only if it has first
15
engaged in this meet and confer process.
16
6.3
Judicial Intervention. A Party that elects to press a challenge to a
17
confidentiality designation may file and serve a motion under the applicable Federal
18
and Local Rules that identifies the challenged Disclosure or Discovery Material and
19
sets forth in detail the basis for the challenge. Each such motion must be accompanied
20
by a competent declaration affirming that the movant has complied with the meet and
21
confer requirements imposed in the preceding paragraph, consistent with the
22
applicable Federal and Local Rules.
23
The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on the
24
Designating Party. Until the Court rules on the challenge, all parties shall continue to
25
afford the Disclosure or Discovery Material in question the level of protection to
26
which it is designated by the Designating Party.

PRODUCED IN OTHER LITIGATION
3
If a Receiving Party is served with a subpoena or a Court order issued in other
4
litigation that compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this action
5
as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – Attorneys’ Eyes Only” the
6
Receiving Party must:
7
(a)
promptly notify in writing the Designating Party, and in no event no
8
more than five (5) court days after receiving the subpoena or Court order. Such
9
notification must include a copy of the subpoena or Court order;
Hunton & Williams LLP
550 South Hope Street, Suite 2000
Los Angeles, California 90071-2627
10
(b)
promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order to
11
issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the subpoena or
12
order is subject to this Protective Order. Such notification shall include a copy of this
13
Protective Order; and
14
15
(c)
cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued
by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.
16
The Receiving Party served with the subpoena or Court order shall not produce
17
any information designated in this action as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY
18
CONFIDENTIAL – Attorneys’ Eyes Only” before a determination by the court from
19
which the subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating
20
Party’s permission. The Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of
21
seeking protection in that court of its Protected Material – and nothing in these
22
provisions should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this
23
action to disobey a lawful directive from another court.
24
9.
A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE
25
PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION
26
(a)
27
28
The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a non-
party in this action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY
10
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
CASE NO. CV-12-00601 JW
1
CONFIDENTIAL – Attorneys’ Eyes Only.” Such information produced by non-
2
parties in connection with this litigation is protected by the remedies and relief
3
provided by this Protective Order. Nothing in these provisions should be construed as
4
prohibiting a non-party from seeking additional protections.
5
(b)
In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to
6
produce a non-party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is
7
subject to an agreement with the non-party not to produce the non-party’s confidential
8
information, then the Party shall:
9
(1)
promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the non-party
Hunton & Williams LLP
550 South Hope Street, Suite 2000
Los Angeles, California 90071-2627
10
that some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality agreement
11
with a non-party;
12
(2)
promptly provide the non-party with a copy of the Protective Order
13
in this litigation, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably specific
14
description of the information requested; and
15
16
(3)
make the information requested available for inspection by the
non-party.
17
(c)
If the non-party fails to object or seek a protective order from this Court
18
within 14 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving
19
Party may produce the non-party’s confidential information responsive to the
20
discovery request. If the non-party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party
21
shall not produce any information in its possession or control that is subject to the
22
confidentiality agreement with the non-party before a determination by the Court.1
23
Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the burden and expense
24
of seeking protection in this court of its Protected Material.
25
26
27

The purpose of this provision is to alert the interested parties to the existence of

INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE
11
PROTECTED MATERIAL
12
Inadvertent production of any document or information that a Party later claims
13
should not have been produced because of privilege, including but not limited to
14
attorney-client or work product privilege (“Inadvertently Produced Privileged
15
Document”), will not be deemed to waive any privilege. A Party may request the
16
return of any Inadvertently Produced Privileged Document. A request for the return
17
of an Inadvertently Produced Privileged Document shall identify the document
18
inadvertently produced and the basis for withholding such document from production.
19
Without disclosing any privileged or protected material, the basis shall provide
20
enough information to allow the Receiving Party to evaluate the claim of privilege,
21
which at a minimum includes the author(s) and recipient(s); whether any of the
22
author(s) or recipient(s) are attorneys, and, if so, identify that person(s) as counsel and
23
by name; the date of the document; and a general description of the document. If a
24
Party requests the return, pursuant to this paragraph, of any Inadvertently Produced
25
Privileged Document then in the custody of another Party, the possessing Party shall
26
within three (3) days return to the requesting Party the Inadvertently Produced
27
Privileged Document and all copies thereof and shall not make use of such documents
