For purposes of such inspection, all 8 material produced shall be considered as Confidential Information. If the inspecting party selects 9 specified documents to be copied, the producing party shall designate Confidential Information in 10 1635 VILLAGE CENTER CIRCLE, SUITE 200 LAS VEGAS, NEVADA 89134 TEL.: (702) 634-5000 – FAX: (702) 380-8572 Interrogatory Answers.

Inadvertent failure to identify documents or things 16 as “Confidential” pursuant to this Protective Order shall not constitute a waiver of any otherwise 17 valid claim for protection, provided that the provisions of this paragraph are satisfied. If the 18 designating party discovers that information should have but was not designated “Confidential” or 19 of the designating party receives notice that would enable the designated party to learn that it has 20 disclosed such information, the designating party must immediately notify all other parties. In such 21 event, within thirty (30) days of notifying all other parties, the designating parties must also provide 22 copies of the “Confidential” information designated in accordance with this Protective Order. After 23 receipt of such re-designated information, the “Confidential” information shall be treated as 24 required by this Protective Order, and the receiving party(ies) shall promptly, and in no event more 25 than fourteen (14) calendar days from the receipt of the re-designated information, return to the 26 designated party all previously produced copies of the same unlegended documents or things.

Designations by Another Party. 4 4.1 Notification of Designation. If a party other than the producing party believes that a 5 producing party has produced a document that contains or constitutes Confidential Information of 6 the non-producing party, the non-producing party may designate the document as Confidential 7 Information by so notifying all parties in writing within fourteen (14) days of service of the 8 document. 9 4.2 Return of Documents; Non-disclosure. Whenever a party other than the producing 10 party designates a document produced by a producing party as Confidential Information in 11 accordance with subparagraph 4.1, each party receiving the document shall either add the 12 Confidential Information designation in accordance with subparagraph 3.2 or substitute a copy of 13 the document bearing such designation for each copy of the document produced by the producing 14 party. Each party shall destroy all undesignated copies of the document or return those copies to the 15 producing party, at the direction of the producing party. No party shall disclose a produced 16 document to any person, other than the persons authorized to receive Confidential Information 17 under subparagraph 7.1, until after the expiration of the fourteen (14) day designation period 18 specified in subparagraph 4.1. If during the fourteen (14) day designation period a party discloses a 19 produced document to a person authorized to receive Confidential Information under subparagraph 20 7.1, and that document is subsequently designated as Confidential Information in accordance with 21 subparagraph 4.1, the disclosing party shall cause all copies of the document to be destroyed or 22 returned to the producing party, at the direction of the producing party. The party may thereafter 23 disclose a copy of the document that has been marked as Confidential Information by the 24 designating party, in accordance with subparagraphs 3.2 and 7.1. 25 5. Objections to Designations. Any party objecting to a designation of Confidential 26 Information, including objections to portions of designations of multi-page documents, shall notify 27 the designating party and all other parties of the objection in writing up to and through trial of the 28 matter. This notice must specifically identify each document that the objecting party in good faith 5 45708665;1 AKERMAN LLP 1635 VILLAGE CENTER CIRCLE, SUITE 200 LAS VEGAS, NEVADA 89134 TEL.: (702) 634-5000 – FAX: (702) 380-8572 Case 2:17-cv-01957-APG-PAL Document 34 Filed 07/25/18 Page 6 of 17 1 believes should not be designated as Confidential Information and provide a brief statement of the 2 grounds for such belief. In accordance with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure governing 3 discovery disputes, the objecting and the designating parties thereafter shall confer within ten (10) 4 days after the date of such objection in an attempt to resolve their differences. If the parties are 5 unable to resolve their differences, the objecting party shall have twenty one (21) days after the 6 conference concludes to file with the Court a motion to remove the Confidential Information. If an 7 objection is served within forty-two (42) days of trial, the objecting party must file its motion to 8 remove the Confidential Information designation within half of the remaining time before trial, and 9 the meet-and-confer period shall be shortened accordingly. Where a party authored, created, owns, 10 or controls a document, information or other material that another party designates as Confidential 11 Information, the party that authored, created, owns, or controls the Confidential Information may so 12 inform the objecting party and thereafter shall also be considered a designating party for purposes 13 of this paragraph. 14 All documents, information and other materials initially designated as Confidential 15 Information shall be treated as such in accordance with this Protective Order unless and until the 16 Court rules otherwise, except for deposition transcripts and exhibits initially considered as 17 containing Confidential Information under subparagraph 3.5, which will lose their confidential 18 status after twenty-one (21) days unless so designated as Confidential Information. If the Court 19 rules that a designation should not be maintained as to a particular document, the producing party 20 shall, upon written request by a party, provide that party a copy of that document without the 21 designation described in subparagraph 3.2. 22 If an objecting party elects not to make such a motion with respect to documents within 23 twenty one (21) days after the conference, information or other materials to which an objection has 24 been made, the objection shall be deemed withdrawn. The designating party shall have twenty one 25 (21) days to respond to the objecting party’s motion. If no response is filed by the designating party 26 within twenty one (21) days, the designating party shall be deemed to have consented to the 27 objecting party’s motion pursuant to LR 7-2(d). 28 … 6 45708665;1 Case 2:17-cv-01957-APG-PAL Document 34 Filed 07/25/18 Page 7 of 17 1 6. 2 summaries thereof, including memoranda relating thereto, shall be retained by the receiving party in 3 the custody of counsel of record, or by persons to whom disclosure is authorized under 4 subparagraph 7.1. 5 7.
