4 1. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS

5 Discovery in this action is likely to involve production of confidential,

6 || Proprietary or private information for which special protection from public

7 || disclosure and from use for any purpose other than pursuing this litigation may be

g || warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to

g|jenter the following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this

10 || Order does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to

11 || discovery and that the protection it affords from public disclosure and use extends

12 || only to the limited information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment

; 13 || under the applicable legal principles. ~

; 4 2. GOODCAUSE STATEMENT

38 15 This action is likely to involve trade secrets, medical information, third party

ES 16 || identification and other valuable confidential or proprietary information for which

17 || Special protection from public disclosure and from use for any purpose other than

18 ||Prosecution of this action is warranted. Such confidential and proprietary materials

19 || and information consist of, among other things, confidential business or financial

40 || information, information regarding confidential business practices, or other

21 || confidential research, development, or commercial information (including

22 || information implicating privacy rights of third parties), information otherwise

23 || generally unavailable to the public, or which may be privileged or otherwise

24 || protected from disclosure under state or federal statutes, court rules, case decisions,

25 || or common law. Accordingly, to expedite the flow of information, to facilitate the

26 || prompt resolution of disputes over confidentiality of discovery materials, to

27 || adequately protect information the parties are entitled to keep confidential, to ensure

28 || that the parties are permitted reasonable necessary uses of such material in

-2-

IEE OIRO EIEN. Ge NEE ils WP MM eR AY OP □□

1 || preparation for and in the conduct of trial, to address their handling at the end of the

2 || litigation, and serve the ends of justice, a protective order for such information is

3 || justified in this matter. It is the intent of the parties that information will not be

4 || designated as confidential for tactical reasons and that nothing be so designated

5 || without a good faith belief that it has been maintained in a confidential, non-public

6 manner, and there is good cause why it should not be part of the public record of this

7 || case.

8 3. | ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF UNDER SEAL FILING PROCEDURE

9 The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 14.3, below, that this

10 || Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential information

11 || under seal; Local Civil Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be followed

12 || and the standards that will be applied when a party seeks permission from the court

13 || to file material under seal. |Fhere-is-a-streng_presumption that the-public has- righ

3 5. SCOPE

4 The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only □

5 || Protected Material (as defined above), but also (1) any information copied or

6 || extracted from Protected Material; (2) all copies, excerpts, summaries, or

7 || compilations of Protected Material; and (3) any testimony, conversations, or

8 presentations by Parties or their Counsel that might reveal Protected Material.

9 || Any use of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by the orders of the trial

10 || judge and other applicable authorities. This Order does not govern the use of

5 11 Protected Material at trial.

12 6. DURATION _ □

: 13 | Once a case proceeds to trial, information that was designated as

: || CONFIDENTIAL or maintained pursuant to this protective order used or introduced

15.||as an exhibit at trial becomes public and will be presumptively available to all

: 16 ||members of the public, including the press, unless compelling reasons supported by

17 || specific factual findirigs to proceed otherwise are made to the trial judge in advance

18 || of the trial. See Kamakana, 447 F.3d at 1180-81 (distinguishing “good cause”

19 showing for sealing documents produced in discovery from “compelling reasons”

20 || standard when merits-related documents are part of court record). Accordingly, the

21 ||terms of this protective order do not extend beyond the commencement of the trial.

221 7. | DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL

7.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection.

/||Bach Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under

25 || this Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that

26 || qualifies under the appropriate standards. The Designating Party must designate for

27 protection only those parts of material, documents, items or oral or written □

28

EEE IEEE II III I INES ONSEN NAS AT NN Ele OP OP

1 || communications that qualify so that other portions of the material, documents,

2 || items or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept

3 || unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order.

4 Mass, indiscriminate or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations

5 || that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper

6 || purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the case development process or to impose

7 || unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Designating

8 || Party to sanctions.

9 If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it

10 || designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must

11 |) promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the inapplicable designation.

12 7.2 | Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided

g 13 || in this Order, or as otherwise stipulated or ordered, Disclosure of Discovery

3 14'|| Material that qualifies for protection under this Order must be clearly so

15 || designated. before the material is disclosed or produced.

5 16 Designation in conformity with this Order requires:

17 (a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic

18 || documents, but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial

19 || proceedings), that the Producing Party affix at a minimum, the legend

20 || “CONFIDENTIAL” (hereinafter “CONFIDENTIAL legend”), to each page that

21 contains protected material. If only a portion of the material on a page qualifies for

22 || protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s)

-23'||(e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins). == □

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

25 || need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated

26 || which documents it would like copied and produced.

27|)

28 ||

I IEEE IIE III EORE IIE NENG Bw Af NN NE TAY OT

1 || During the inspection and before the designation, all of the material made available

for inspection shall be deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has

3 || identified the documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party must

4 || determine which documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this

5 || Order. Then, before producing the specified documents, the Producing Party must

6 || affix the “CONFIDENTIAL legend” to each page that contains Protected Material.

7 || If only a portion of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing

8 || Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate

9 | markings in the margins).

10 (b) for testimony given in depositions that the Designating Party

11 || identifies the Disclosure or Discovery Material on the record, before the close of

12 || the deposition all protected testimony.

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

14 || for any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on

8 15 || the exterior of the container or containers in which the information is stored the

: 16 || legend “CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a portion or portions of the information

‘17 || warrants protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the

18 || protected portion(s). _

19 7.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent

20 || failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive

21 || the Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such

22 || material. Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make

23 ||reasonable efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the

24 |I provisions of this Order.
