Plaintiffs and Defendant are collectively 28 Page 1 of 15 Dockets.Justia.com Case 2:20-cv-00406-RFB-BNW Document 115 113 Filed 07/24/20 07/22/20 Page 2 of 15 1 2 3 referred to herein as the “Parties” and individually as a “Party”. 1. Definitions: In this Stipulation, the following terms have the following meanings: 4 a. “ESI” means Electronically Stored Information, including, but not 5 limited to, email, attachments to email, other electronic documents such 6 as word processing, spreadsheet, PowerPoint, HTML, and text files and 7 any other files stored in an electronic format. 8 b. “Metadata” means: (i) information embedded in a Native Format file that 9 is not ordinarily viewable or printable from the application that 10 generated, edited or modified such Native Format file; and 11 (ii) information generated automatically by the operation of a computer 12 or other information technology system when a Native Format file is 13 created, modified, transmitted, deleted or otherwise manipulated by a 14 user of such system. Metadata is a subset of ESI. 15 c. 16 17 “Native Format” means ESI in the electronic format of the application in which such ESI is normally created, viewed and/or modified. 2. Scope: The Parties agree that each producing Party is best situated to evaluate 18 the procedures, methodologies, and technologies appropriate for preservation, collection, and 19 review of their own ESI. Accordingly, this Stipulation shall govern only the actual production 20 of ESI and shall in no way affect the Parties’ respective rights and obligations concerning the 21 preservation, collection, and review of ESI. All Parties preserve their attorney-client privileges 22 and other privileges, and there is no intent by this Stipulation, or the production of documents 23 pursuant to this Stipulation, to in any way waive or weaken these privileges. Nothing in this 24 Stipulation shall limit the Parties’ respective rights and obligations concerning confidential, 25 proprietary or private information, with respect to which they may make such agreements or 26 Stipulations as they see fit, subject to applicable law. All documents produced pursuant to this 27 Stipulation are fully protected and covered by the Parties’ confidentiality agreements, and 28 Page 2 of 15 Case 2:20-cv-00406-RFB-BNW Document 115 113 Filed 07/24/20 07/22/20 Page 3 of 15 1 orders of the Court, as well as any clawback agreements, and protective order(s) of the Court 2 effectuating the same. 3 3. General Format of Production. Subject to the provisions of paragraph 4, 4 documents that originally existed in electronic form that are produced in these proceedings shall 5 be produced in electronic image form (described below) in the manner provided herein. 6 Documents that originally existed in paper form may be produced in an electronic image form 7 in the manner provided herein, produced in a paper form or made available for initial 8 examination as outlined in paragraph 4. 9 4. Initial Examination of Paper Records. The Producing Party reserves the right 10 to make certain sets of paper documents available for initial examination by the Requesting 11 Party pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 34(a)(1). Within 30 days from that reservation, the Requesting 12 Party will select those documents it wishes to have produced. The Producing Party reserves 13 the right to review and screen for privilege or protection any document that is selected for 14 production. The Producing Party may withhold from that production any privileged document 15 and identify the privileged document on a privilege log. The parties agree that the Producing 16 Party is not waiving, and the Requesting Party will not argue that the Producing Party has 17 waived, any claims of attorney-client privilege, attorney work product protection, or any other 18 privilege or protection, including protections enumerated in the Stipulated Confidentiality 19 Agreement and Protective Order, by making documents available for examination. In the event 20 the Producing Party becomes aware of an inadvertent disclosure/production of privileged 21 information or a privileged document, the Stipulated Confidentiality Agreement and Protective 22 Order entered into by the Parties in this matter shall govern. 23 5. Document Image Format. The Producing Party shall make good faith efforts 24 to conform to the specifications in this section based on the party’s technological capabilities. 25 Document images produced in electronic form will be produced in single- or multi-page Tagged 26 Image File Format (“TIFFs” or “.tiff format”). All images generated from hard copy documents 27 shall be scanned as black and white images at least 300 d.p.i. resolution and shall be saved and 28 Page 3 of 15 Case 2:20-cv-00406-RFB-BNW Document 115 113 Filed 07/24/20 07/22/20 Page 4 of 15 1 produced in a Group 4 compression single “TIFF” format and reflect the full and complete 2 information contained on the original document. All images generated from native electronic 3 documents — except presentations and spreadsheets (e.g., PowerPoint, Excel, etc.) — shall be 4 saved electronically (or “printed”) in a Group 4 compression single-or multi-page “TIFF” 5 image, or that reflects the full and complete information contained on the original document. 6 All PowerPoint presentations and spreadsheets shall be produced in native electronic form. All 7 images generated from short message service (SMS) and multimedia messaging service (MMS) 8 shall be produced in searchable .txt files or saved electronically (or “printed”) in a Group 4 9 compression single “TIFF” image that reflects the full and complete information contained in 10 the SMS or MMS. The following additional formats may also be acceptable to represent 11 particular ESI or documents: JPEG, JPEG2000, GIF, PNG, singular-image TIFF, and BMP. 12 Documents that present imaging or other formatting problems shall be promptly identified and 13 the parties shall meet and confer to attempt to resolve the problems. 14 Where Meta-data is relevant or likely to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence, 15 and in balancing the needs and economics of the Action, Meta-data for documents generated 16 from native electronic documents shall be provided as set forth in Paragraph 12 below. 17 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, the parties recognize that as the 18 case progresses it may be appropriate to allow the parties to produce certain files (e.g., Excel, 19 Lotus 123, or other spreadsheets; e-mails; reports from databases) in either (i) native electronic 20 form or (ii) in a Group 4 compression single “TIFF” image, due to undue burden or cost for a 21 Producing Party. Thus, the parties agree to meet and confer in such circumstances in order to 22 reach a reasonable, alternative form of production. Should the parties be unable to resolve an 23 alternative form of production, the Party seeking the alternative form of production may bring 24 a noticed motion before the Court demonstrating good cause and a specific need for the 25 alternative form of production. 26 27 6. Document Unitization. If hard copy documents are scanned into an electronic form, the unitization of the document and any attachments and/or affixed notes shall be 28 Page 4 of 15 Case 2:20-cv-00406-RFB-BNW Document 115 113 Filed 07/24/20 07/22/20 Page 5 of 15 1 maintained to the extent possible as it existed in the original when collected by the Parties. The 2 relationship of documents in a document collection (e.g., cover letter and enclosures, e-mail 3 and attachments, binder containing multiple documents, or other documents where a parent- 4 child relationship exists between the documents) shall be maintained through the scanning or 5 conversion process. 6 7. Color. If the Requesting Party believes that a document is not legible or where 7 the absence of color materially affects the document, the Requesting Party may request that 8 either the production of an original document for inspection and copying or production of a 9 color image of the document. The Requesting Party agrees to pay for reasonable costs 10 associated with the color scanning and production of color images of documents already 11 produced. 12 8. Duplicates. Where a party has more than one identical copy of an electronic 13 document (i.e., the documents are visually the same and contain the same electronic text), the 14 Producing Party need only produce a single copy of that document. The Parties shall use 15 commercially acceptable methods (e.g., MD5 or SHA-1 hash values) to identify duplicate ESI 16 and globally de-duplicate ESI. In the case of emails, the hash value shall be calculated on the 17 concatenated value of the following fields: to, from, cc, bcc, date and time sent, attachment 18 names, email subject, full body of the email, MD5 hash values of attachments. Family groups, 19 e.g., an email and its attachments, shall be de-duplicated only against other family groups as 20 entities, and no document which is not part of a family group shall be de-duplicated against a 21 member of a family group. However, the foregoing is without prejudice to a party’s ability to 22 seek production of multiple instances of an electronic message sent to one or multiple recipients 23 where relevant attachments to e-mail shall be produced pursuant to this Protocol. 24 9. Bates Numbering. Each page of a produced document shall have a legible, 25 unique page identifier (“Bates Number”) electronically “burned” onto the image at a location 26 that does not unreasonably obliterate, conceal, or interfere with any information from the source 27 document. No other legend or stamp will be placed on the document image other than a 28 Page 5 of 15 Case 2:20-cv-00406-RFB-BNW Document 115 113 Filed 07/24/20 07/22/20 Page 6 of 15 1 confidentiality legend (where applicable), redactions, the Bates Number identified above, and 2 any other internal tracking number that the Producing Party may choose to use. 3 confidential legend shall be “burned” onto the document’s image at a location that does not 4 unreasonably obliterate or obscure any information from the source document. 5 10. The File Naming Conventions. Each page image file shall be named with the 6 unique Bates Number of the page of document, followed by the extension “.TIF” when 7 available. In the event the Bates Number contains a symbol and/or character that cannot be 8 included in a file name, the symbol and/or character will be omitted from the file name. Each 9 native file shall retain its original file name, followed by the document-type extension (e.g., 10 11 “.DOC”, “.PDF”, “.XLS”, “.HTM”, etc.) 11. Production Media. A Producing Party shall produce documents that it produces 12 in an electronic image form pursuant to paragraph 3 on CD-ROM, DVD, external hard drive, 13 via an FTP site, or such other readily accessible computer or electronic media as the parties 14 may hereafter agree upon (the “Production Media”). If the Producing Party encrypts or “locks” 15 the production, the Producing Party shall include with the production an explanation of how to 16 decrypt the files. 17 12. Metadata. To the extent a Producing Party extracts any of the below metadata 18 fields associated with its production, the Producing Party will make a reasonable effort to 19 produce the following metadata fields, to the extent applicable, to the Requesting Party with a 20 load file with each production: 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Page 6 of 15 Case 2:20-cv-00406-RFB-BNW Document 115 113 Filed 07/24/20 07/22/20 Page 7 of 15 1 2 3 4 5 Field Name Begin Bates Field Description Production number of the first page of the document.

Where such metadata information is not available 9 and/or not capable of extraction without undue burden/expense, this paragraph shall not impose 10 11 12 any obligations on any Producing Party. 13. Load File Formats. a. Image Load Files 13 i. ESI will be produced in Concordance or another text delimited 14 standard and custom load file format. Upon request and 15 demonstration of need, the Parties will meet and confer to discuss 16 production in an alternative load file format or to produce without 17 load files. 18 ii. Every document referenced in a production image load file shall have 19 all corresponding images, text, and data. Redacted text shall not be 20 included in a redacted document's text file. 21 iii. The name of the image load files shall mirror the name of the delivery 22 volume, and should have an .opt or .log file extension (e.g., 23 ABC001.0PT or ABC001 .LOG). 24 25 26 iv. The volume names shall be consecutive (e.g., ABC001, ABC002, et. seq.). v. Each folder will have a limit of 1,000 files per folder. 27 28 Page 9 of 15 Case 2:20-cv-00406-RFB-BNW Document 115 113 Filed 07/24/20 07/22/20 Page 10 of 15 1 2 3 4 vi. Every image in the delivery volume shall be contained in the image load file. vii. The image key shall be named the same as the production number of the page. 5 viii. Load files shall not span across media (e.g., CDs, DVDs, Hard 6 Drives, etc.); instead, a separate volume shall be created for each 7 piece of media delivered. 8 9 ix. Each image load file shall be produced in a standard litigation support image load format (e.g., .opt or .log) providing: 10 1. The document number for each image; 11 2. The relative path name(s) of each TIFF image file; and 12 3. The document boundaries for each document. 13 b. Data Load Files 14 i. Metadata fields that are not applicable to a document or are NULL 15 shall be left with null values and not populated with fillers or spaces. 16 ii. All date fields shall be produced in "mm/dd/yyyy" format. 17 iii. All time fields shall be produced in "hh:mm:ss" format. 18 iv. Load files shall not span across media (e.g., CDs, DVDs, Hard 19 Drives, etc.); instead, a separate volume shall be created for each 20 piece of media delivered. 21 v. The name of the metadata load file shall mirror the name of the 22 delivery volume, and shall have a .dat or .txt extension (e.g., 23 ABC001.DAT or ABC001.TXT) 24 25 26 vi. The volume names shall be consecutive (e.g., ABCOO 1, ABC002, et. seq.). vii. Each folder will have a limit of 1,000 files per folder. 27 28 Page 10 of 15 Case 2:20-cv-00406-RFB-BNW Document 115 113 Filed 07/24/20 07/22/20 Page 11 of 15 1 viii. The metadata fields listed above (as pertain to particular categories 2 of documents pursuant to this Protocol) shall be included in the 3 delimited database load files, to the extent such metadata is already 4 in existence and reasonably accessible. To the extent that metadata 5 does not exist, is not reasonably accessible or available, or would be 6 unduly burdensome to collect, nothing in this Protocol shall require 7 any party to extract, capture, collect or produce such metadata. 8 ix. To the extent that the metadata listed above relating to any ESI 9 contains information subject to a claim of privilege or any other 10 applicable protection, that metadata may be redacted or withheld, as 11 appropriate, and the Producing Party shall include information 12 regarding the basis and justification for withholding or redacting such 13 information in its privilege log. 14 14. Databases. To the extent a response to discovery requires production of 15 discoverable electronic information contained in a database, the parties shall meet and confer 16 about the extent of the Producing Party’s obligations in relation to the same. Prior to any such 17 meet and confer, the Producing Party will provide sufficient information to enable the 18 Receiving Party to evaluate the best method and format of production, including such 19 information as the database or data store name, business purpose, database or data source 20 owner, database schema/field list, standard reports, export capabilities, and all manuals 21 including but not limited to administrator, programmer and user manuals. 22 15. Production of Other Electronic Documents. This Order only applies to the 23 production of the following categories of electronic documents in accordance with the 24 provisions herein: databases, e-mails (and any associated attachments), word processing 25 documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and imaged documents (in any format). The Parties 26 shall meet and confer to agree on the form of any production of electronic documents other 27 than the foregoing. 28 Page 11 of 15 Case 2:20-cv-00406-RFB-BNW Document 115 113 Filed 07/24/20 07/22/20 Page 12 of 15 1 16. Exceptions to Protocol. If the forms of production allowed by this protocol 2 present an undue burden or cost for a Producing Party, the parties shall meet and confer to agree 3 on a reasonable, alternative form of production. Any Party may file a motion to seek individual 4 relief from this protocol. 5 17. Use of Documents. When documents produced in accordance with this Order 6 are used in any proceeding herein, including depositions, hearings, or trial, the image copy of 7 documents as described in Paragraph 5 shall be the copy used. 8 18. Privilege Logs. The Producing Parties will produce privilege logs in Excel, 9 Word, or a similar electronic format that allows text searching and organization of data. A 10 Producing Party will produce a privilege log within 14 days after the completion of its 11 document production. The production of a privilege log for a custodian will be not less than 10 12 days prior to a custodian’s deposition. The parties may modify the deadlines for production of 13 privilege logs by agreement. 14 When there is a chain of privileged e-mails, the Producing Party must log each e- 15 mail contained within the chain separately. Distinct claims of privilege within an email chain 16 must be separately identified, and parties shall be required to produce any non-privileged 17 emails or information contained within the chain. 18 To the extent available, the privilege log will contain the following metadata fields: 19 the custodian, document type (e.g., email, Word document, Excel spreadsheet, etc.), date last 20 modified or sent, file name, and, if an email or email chain, the sender(s) and the recipient(s) 21 (to, cc, and bcc). The Producing Party will also include on the log a control number, a 22 privilege description, and privilege assertion. If a party redacts a responsive document, that 23 party will provide a redaction log identifying each document that contains a redaction and the 24 reason for the redaction. 25 26 The process for objections shall be governed by the Stipulated Confidentiality Agreement and Protective Order entered into by the Parties in this matter. 27 28 Page 12 of 15 Case 2:20-cv-00406-RFB-BNW Document 115 113 Filed 07/24/20 07/22/20 Page 13 of 15 1 2 3 19. Costs of Production. The Parties reserve the right to seek cost shifting as appropriate at a later time. 20. Discovery and Admissibility. Nothing in this Order shall be construed to affect 4 the discoverability or admissibility of any document or data. All objections to the 5 discoverability or admissibility of any document or data are preserved and may be asserted at 6 any time. 7 21. Limitations; Non-Waiver and Claw-Back Agreement. The Parties and their 8 attorneys do not intend by the instant Document Production Protocol to waive their rights to 9 any protection or privilege, including the attorney-client privilege and work product doctrine, 10 or their rights to object to any discovery requests. 11 Upon written request by a party producing or disclosing information (“Disclosing Party” 12 or “Producing Party”) which the Disclosing or Producing Party considers to be protected by a 13 privilege (e.g., attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine, etc.) (“Privileged 14 Information”), the party receiving such information (“Receiving Party”) hereby agrees to 15 promptly return, sequester, or destroy any Privileged Information disclosed or produced by the 16 Disclosing or Producing Party upon such written request. Said written request must include a 17 privilege log (or an update/supplement to previous privilege log) for such Privilege 18 Information. The Receiving Party may sequester (rather than return or destroy) such Privileged 19 Information only if it contends that the information itself is not privileged or otherwise 20 protected and it challenges the privilege designation, in which case it may only sequester the 21 information until the claim of privilege or other protection is resolved. If any party disputes 22 the privilege claim (“Objecting Party”), that Objecting Party shall object in writing by notifying 23 the Producing Party of the dispute and the basis therefore. The parties thereafter shall meet and 24 confer in good faith regarding the disputed claim within ten (10) court days after service of the 25 written objection. In the event that the parties do not resolve their dispute, the Objecting Party 26 may bring a motion for a determination of whether a privilege applies within ten (10) court 27 days of the meet and confer session, but may only contest the asserted privileges on grounds 28 Page 13 of 15 Case 2:20-cv-00406-RFB-BNW Document 115 113 Filed 07/24/20 07/22/20 Page 14 of 15 1 other than the inadvertent production of such document(s). In making such a motion, the 2 Objecting Party shall not disclose the content of the document(s) at issue, but may refer to the 3 information contained on the privilege log and may submit a sealed copy of the document(s) at 4 issue to the Court for in camera review. Nothing herein shall relieve counsel from abiding by 5 applicable ethical rules regarding inadvertent disclosure and discovery of inadvertently 6 disclosed privileged or otherwise protected material. The failure of any party to provide notice 7 or instructions under this Paragraph shall not constitute a waiver of, or estoppel as to, any claim 8 of attorney-client privilege, attorney work product, or other ground for withholding production 9 as to which the Disclosing or Producing Party would be entitled in this action. 10 ... 11 ... 12 ... 13 ... 14 ... 15 ... 16 ... 17 ... 18 ... 19 ... 20 ... 21 ... 22 ... 23 ... 24 ... 25 ... 26 ... 27 ... 28 Page 14 of 15 Case 2:20-cv-00406-RFB-BNW Document 115 113 Filed 07/24/20 07/22/20 Page 15 of 15 1 22. Confidentiality. The confidentiality of ESI produced in accordance with the 2 this ESI Protocol is governed by the Stipulated Confidentiality Agreement and Protective Order 3 entered into by the Parties in this matter. 4 Dated this 21st day of July, 2020.
