This Order has been agreed to by the Parties to facilitate discovery and the 4 production of relevant evidence in this action.

Inadvertent failure to designate any document, transcript, or other materials 9 “Confidential” will not constitute a waiver of an otherwise valid claim of 10 confidentiality pursuant to this Order, so long as a claim of confidentiality is 11 promptly asserted after discovery of the inadvertent failure. If a party 12 designates a document as “Confidential” after it was initially produced, the 13 receiving party, on notification of the designation, must make a reasonable 14 effort to assure that the document is treated in accordance with the provisions 15 of this Order, and upon request from the producing party certify that the 16 designated documents have been maintained as confidential information. The 17 designating party shall have the burden of proving that any document 18 designated as CONFIDENTIAL is entitled to such protection. 19 13.

The burden of proof to establish that the information or 5 document is entitled to such protection is on the Party that designated the 6 information or document as Confidential. During the pendency of any 7 challenge to the designation of a document or information, the designated 8 document or information shall continue to be treated as “Confidential” subject 9 to the provisions of this Protective Order. 10 15. If the dispute cannot be resolved, the Party making the Nothing herein shall affect or restrict the rights of any Party with respect to its 11 own documents or to the information obtained or developed independently of 12 documents, transcripts and materials afforded confidential treatment pursuant 13 to this Order. 14 /// 15 /// 16 /// 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ PROTECTIVE ORDER 6 CASE NO. 2:17-CV-03139-MMD-GWF 1 16.
