1 1. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS

2 Disclosure and discovery activity in this action are likely to involve production of

3 confidential, proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public

4 disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may be

5 warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the court to enter the

6 following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this Order does not

7 confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to discovery and that the protection

8 it affords from public disclosure and use extends only to the limited information or items that

9 are entitled to confidential treatment under the applicable legal principles. The parties further

10 acknowledge, as set forth in Section 12.3 below, that this stipulated Protective Order does not

11 entitle them to file confidential information under seal; Civil Local Rule 141 sets forth the

12 procedures that must be followed and the standards that will be applied when a party seeks

13 permission from the court to file material under seal.

14 2. DEFINITIONS

15 2.1 Challenging Party: A Party or Non-Party that challenges the designation of

16 information or items under this Order.

17 2.2 CONFIDENTIAL Information or Items: Information (regardless of how it is

21 well as their support staff)

22 2.4 Designating Party: A Party or Non-Party that designates information or items

23 that it produces in disclosures or in responses to discovery as CONFIDENTIAL.

24 2.5 Disclosure or Discovery Material: All items or information, regardless of the

25 medium or manner in which it is generated, stored, or maintained (including, among other

26 things, testimony, transcripts, and tangible things) that are produced or generated in

27 disclosures or responses to discovery in this matter.

21 CONFIDENTIAL.

22 2.14. Receiving Party: A Party that receives Disclosure or Discovery Material from a

24 3. SCOPE

25 The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only Protected Material

26 but also (1) any information copied or extracted from Protected Material; (2) all copies,

27 excerpts, summaries, or compilations of Protected Material; and (3) any testimony,

1 However, the protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order do not cover the following

2 information: (a) any information that is in the public domain at the time of disclosure to a

3 Receiving Party or becomes part of the public domain after its disclosure to a Receiving Party

4 as a result of publication not involving a violation of this Order, including becoming part of

5 the public record through trial or otherwise; and (b) any information known to the Receiving

6 Party prior to the disclosure or obtained by the Receiving Party after the disclosure from a

7 source who obtained the information lawfully and under no obligation of confidentiality to the

8 Designating Party. Any use of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by a separate

9 agreement or order.

10 4. DURATION

11 Even after final disposition of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations imposed by

12 this Order shall remain in effect until a Designating Party agrees otherwise in writing or a court

13 order otherwise directs. Final disposition shall be deemed to be the alter of (1) dismissal of all

14 claims and defenses in this action, with or without prejudice; and (2) final judgment herein

15 after the completion and exhaustion of all appeals, rehearings, remains, trials, or reviews of

16 this action, including the time limits for filing any motions or applications for extension of

17 time pursuant to applicable law.

18 5. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL

19 5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection: Each Party

20 or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under this Order must take

21 care to limit any such designation to specific material that qualifies under the appropriate

22 standards. The Designating Party must designate for protection only those parts of material,

23 documents, items, or oral or written communications that qualify – so that other portions of

24 the material, documents, items, or communications for which protection is not warranted are

25 not swept unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order.

26 Mass, indiscriminate, or routine designations are prohibited. Designations that are shown

27 to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily

1 burdens on other parties) expose the Designating Party to sanctions. If is comes to a

2 Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it designated for protection do not

3 qualify for protection, that Designating Party must promptly notify all other Parties that it is

4 withdrawing the mistaken designation.

5 5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations: Except as otherwise provided in this Order

6 or as otherwise stipulated or ordered, Disclosure of Discovery Material that qualifies for

7 protection under this Order must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or

8 produced.

9 Designation in conformity with this Order requires:

10 (a) For information in documentary form: (e.g. paper or electronic documents,

11 but excluding transcripts of deposition or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that the Producing

12 Party affix the legend CONFIDENTIAL to each page that contains Protected Material. If

13 only a portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing

14 Party also must clearly identify the protected portions(s).

15 A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents or materials available for inspection

16 need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated which

17 material it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and before the designation,

18 all of the material made available for inspection shall be deemed CONFIDENTIAL. After

19 the inspecting Party has identified the documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing

20 Party must determine which documents, or portions of documents qualify for protection under

21 this Order. Then, before producing the specified documents, the Producing Party must affix

22 the CONFIDENTIAL legend to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a portion

23 or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must

24 clearly identify the protected portions(s).

25 (b) For testimony given in a deposition or in other pretrial proceedings: that

26 the Designating Party identify on the record, before the close of the deposition, hearing or

27 other proceeding, all protected testimony.

1 (c) For information produced in some form other than documentary and for

2 any other tangible items: That the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the exterior

3 of the container or containers in which the information or items warrant protection, the

4 Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the protected portion(s).

5 5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate: If timely corrected, an inadvertent failure to

6 designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive the Designating

7 Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such material. Upon timely correction

8 of a designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable efforts to assure that the material

9 is treated in accordance with the provisions of this Order.

10 6. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS

11 6.1 Timing of Challenges: Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a designation of

12 confidentiality at any time. Unless a prompt challenge to a Designating Party’s confidentiality

13 designation is necessary to avoid foreseeable, substantial unfairness, unnecessary economic

14 burdens, or a significant disruption or delay of the litigation, a Party does not waive its right

15 to challenge a confidentiality designation by electing not to mount a challenge promptly after

16 the original designation is disclosed.

17 6.2 Meet and Confer: The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute resolution

18 process by providing written notice of each designation it is challenging and describing the

19 basis for each challenge. To avoid ambiguity as to whether a challenge has been made, the

20 written notice must recite that the challenge to confidentiality is being made in accordance

21 with this specific paragraph of the Protective Order. The parties shall attempt to resolve each

22 challenge in good faith and must begin the process by conferring directly (in voice to voice

23 dialogue; other forms of communications are not sufficient) within 14 days of the date of

24 service of notice. In conferring, the Challenging Party must explain the basis for its belief that

25 the confidentiality designation was improper and must give the Designating party and

26 opportunity to review the designated material, to reconsider the circumstances, and, if no

27 change in designation is offered, to explain the basis for the chosen designation. A Challenging

1 and confer process first or establishes that the Designating Party is unwilling to participate in

2 the meet and confer process in a timely manner.

3 6.3 Judicial Intervention: If the Parties cannot resolve a challenge without court

4 intervention, the Designating Party shall file and serve a motion to retain confidentiality, (in

5 compliance with Civil Local Rule 141, if applicable) within 21 days of the initial notice of

6 challenge or within 14 days of the parties agreeing that the meet and confer process will not

7 resolve their dispute, whichever is earlier. Each such motion must be accompanied by a

8 competent declaration affirming that the movant has complied with the meet and confer

9 requirements imposed in the preceding paragraph. Failure by the Designating Party to make

10 such a motion including the required declaration within 21 days (or 14 days, if applicable) shall

11 automatically waive the confidentiality designation for each challenged designation. In

12 addition, the Challenging Party may file a motion challenging a confidentiality designation at

13 any time if there is good cause for doing so, including a challenge to the designation of a

14 deposition transcript or any portions thereof. Any motion brought pursuant to this provision

15 must be accompanied by a competent declaration affirming that the movant has complied with

16 the meet and confer requirements imposed by the preceding paragraph.

17 The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on the Designating

18 Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper purpose (e.g., to harass or impose

19 unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Challenging Party to

20 sanctions. Unless the Designating Party has waived the confidentiality designation by failing

21 to file a motion to retain confidentiality as described above, all parties shall continue to afford

22 the material in question the level of protection to which it is entitled under the Producing

23 Party’s designation until the court rules on the challenge.

24 7. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

25 7.1 Basic Principles: A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is disclosed or

26 produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this case only for prosecuting,

27 defending, or attempting to settle this litigation. Such Protected Material may be disclosed

1 litigation has been terminated, a Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of section

2 13 below (FINAL DISPOSITION).

3 Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a location and

4 in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons authorized under this

5 Order.

6 7.2 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items: Unless otherwise ordered by

7 the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a Receiving Party may disclose any

8 information or item designated “CONFIDENTIAL” only to:

9 (a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this action, as well as employees

10 of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably necessary to disclose the

11 information for this litigation and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to

12 Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A;

13 (b) the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel) of the Receiving

14 Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the

15 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);

16 (c) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is

17 reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and

18 Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);

19 (d) the court and its personnel;

20 (e) court reporters and their staff, professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, and

21 Professional Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who

22 have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);

23 (f) during their depositions, witnesses in the action to whom disclosure is reasonably

24 necessary and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit

25 A), unless otherwise agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the court. Pages of

26 transcribed deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material must

27 be separately bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone except as

1 (g) the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a custodian or

2 other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information.

3 8. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN

4 OTHER LITIGATION

5 If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation that compels

6 disclosure of any information or items designated in this action as “CONFIDENTIAL,” that

7 Party must:

8 (a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall include a copy

9 of the subpoena or court order;

10 (b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order to issue in the

11 other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the subpoena or order is subject to

12 this Protective Order. Such notification shall include a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order;

13 and

14 (c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued by the

15 Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.

16 If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with the

17 subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this action as

18 “CONFIDENTIAL” before a determination by the court from which the subpoena or order

19 issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s permission. The Designating

20 Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in that court of its confidential

21 material – and nothing in these provisions should be construed as authorizing or encouraging

22 a Receiving Party in this action to disobey a lawful directive from another court.

23 9. A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE PRODUCED IN

24 THIS LITIGATION

25 (a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a Non-Party in this

26 action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information produced by Non-Parties in

27 connection with this litigation is protected by the remedies and relief provided by this Order.

1 additional protections.

2 (b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to produce a Non-

3 Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is subject to an agreement with

4 the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s confidential information, then the Party shall:

5 (1) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party that some

6 or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality agreement with a Non-Party;

7 (2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated Protective Order

8 in this litigation, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably specific description of the

9 information requested; and

10 (3) make the information requested available for inspection by the Non-Party.

11 (c) If the Non-Party fails to object or seek a protective order from this court within 14 days

12 of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party may produce the

13 Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the discovery request. If the Non-Party

14 timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall not produce any information in its

15 possession or control that is subject to the confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before

16 a determination by the court. Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear

17 the burden and expense of seeking protection in this court of its Protected Material.

18 10. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

19 If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed Protected

20 Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this Stipulated Protective

21 Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in writing the Designating Party of the

22 unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the

23 Protected Material, (c) inform the person or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were

24 made of all the terms of this Order, and (d) request such person or persons to execute the

25 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

26 11. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE

27 PROTECTED MATERIAL

1 produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection, the obligations of the

2 Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This

3 provision is not intended to modify whatever procedure may be established in an e-discovery

4 order that provides for production without prior privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of

5 Evidence 502(d) and (e), insofar as the parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure

6 of a communication or information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work product

7 protection, the parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated protective order

8 submitted to the court.

9 12. MISCELLANEOUS

10 12.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any person to seek

11 its modification by the court in the future.

12 12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this Protective Order

13 no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to disclosing or producing any

14 information or item on any ground not addressed in this Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly,

15 no Party waives any right to object on any ground to use in evidence of any of the material

16 covered by this Protective Order.

17 12.3 Filing Protected Material. Without written permission from the Designating Party or

18 a court order secured after appropriate notice to all interested persons, a Party may not file in

19 the public record in this action any Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal

20 any Protected Material must comply with Civil Local Rule 141. Protected Material may only

21 be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the specific Protected

22 Material at issue. Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 141, a sealing order will issue only upon a

23 request establishing that the Protected Material at issue is privileged, protectable as a trade

24 secret, or otherwise entitled to protection under the law. If a Receiving Party's request to file

25 Protected Material under seal pursuant to Civil Local Rule 141 is denied by the court, then the

26 Receiving Party may file the information in the public record pursuant to Civil Local Rule 141

27 unless otherwise instructed by the court.

1 13. FINAL DISPOSITION

2 Within 60 days after the final disposition of this action, as defined in paragraph 4, each

3 Receiving Party must return all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such

4 material. As used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts,

5 compilations, summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected

6 Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the Receiving Party must

7 submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the same person or entity, to

8 the Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that (1) identifies (by category, where

9 appropriate) all the Protected Material that was returned or destroyed and (2) affirms that the

10 Receiving Party has not retained any copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other

11 format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this

12 provision, Counsel are entitled to retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial,

13 deposition, and hearing transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition and trial

14 exhibits, expert reports, attorney work product, and consultant and expert work product, even

15 if such materials contain Protected Material. Any such archival copies that contain or

16 constitute Protected Material remain subject to this Protective Order as set forth in Section 4

17 (DURATION).

18 IT IS SO STIPULATED, THROUGH COUNSEL OF RECORD.

ORDER

2 Pursuant to the parties’ stipulation, IT IS SO ORDERED.

3 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED THAT:

4 1. Requests to seal documents shall be made by motion before the same judge who will decide

5 the matter related to that request to seal.

6 2. The designation of documents (including transcripts of testimony) as confidential pursuant

7 to this order does not automatically entitle the parties to file such a document with the court under

8 seal. Parties are advised that any request to seal documents in this district is governed by Local

9 Rule 141. In brief, Local Rule 141 provides that documents may only be sealed by a written order

10 of the court after a specific request to seal has been made. L.R. 141(a). However, a mere request

11 to seal is not enough under the local rules. In particular, Local Rule 141(b) requires that “[t]he

12 ‘Request to Seal Documents’ shall set forth the statutory or other authority for sealing, the requested

13 duration, the identity, by name or category, of persons to be permitted access to the document, and

14 all relevant information.” L.R. 141(b).

15 3. A request to seal material must normally meet the high threshold of showing that

16 “compelling reasons” support secrecy; however, where the material is, at most, “tangentially

17 related” to the merits of a case, the request to seal may be granted on a showing of “good cause.”

18 Ctr. for Auto Safety v. Chrysler Grp., LLC, 809 F.3d 1092, 1096-1102 (9th Cir. 2016); Kamakana

19 v. City and County of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1178-80 (9th Cir. 2006).

20 4. Nothing in this order shall limit the testimony of parties or non-parties, or the use of certain

21 documents, at any court hearing or trial – such determinations will only be made by the court at the

22 hearing or trial, or upon an appropriate motion.

23 5. With respect to motions regarding any disputes concerning this protective order which the

24 parties cannot informally resolve, the parties shall follow the procedures outlined in Local Rule

25 251. Absent a showing of good cause, the court will not hear discovery disputes on an ex parte

26 basis or on shortened time.

27 ////

1 6. The parties may not modify the terms of this Protective Order without the court’s approval.

2 If the parties agree to a potential modification, they shall submit a stipulation and proposed order

3 for the court’s consideration.

4 7. Pursuant to Local Rule 141.1(f), the court will not retain jurisdiction over enforcement of

5 the terms of this Protective Order after the action is terminated.

6 8. Any provision in the parties’ stipulation that is in conflict with anything in this order is

7 hereby DISAPPROVED.
