As to multiple page documents, the CONFIDENTIAL legend may 13 be stamped or written on the first page of the document. 14 7 E 2. 15 Any party may challenge the designation of any documents and information as CONFIDENTIAL by doing so in writing to the producing party at any time. The 16 17 producing party shall then have twenty-one (2 1) days from receipt of that writing to file a motion 18 for Protective Order that seeks protection of the challenged documents and information. While 19 such a motion for Protective Order is pending, the discovery material or testimony in question 20 shall be treated as CONFIDENTIAL pursuant to this Order. A party shall not be obligated to 21 challenge the designation of any document or information as CONFIDENTIAL at the time the 22 designation is made, and a failure to do so shall not preclude a subsequent challenge thereto. 23 3. 24 25 26 27 28 1 All materials and records designated as CONFIDENTIAL pursuant to the terms of this Order and produced or provided in the course of this litigation shall be used solely for the purpose of the proceedings of this litigation and shall not be disclosed or disseminated to 1 anyone by any person or entity except as herein provided or required or compelled by law or by 2 any judicial, governmental, or administrative body under a law, regulation, or order.

Any 15 party may move the Court for an order that the evidence be received in camera or under other 16 conditions to prevent unnecessary disclosure. The Court may then determine whether the 17 proffered evidence should continue to be treated as CONFIDENTIAL information and, if so, 18 what protection, if any, may be afforded to such information at the trial or hearing. cfj N 19 9. Disclosures in violation of this Order or any other violation of this Order 20 shall be brought to the Court’s attention for the Court’s consideration of any appropriate relief. 21 22 10.
