1 This Stipulated Protective Order is substantially based on the model protective
1 1. A. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS
2 Discovery in this action is likely to involve production of confidential,
3 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
6 enter the following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this
7 Order does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to
8 discovery and that the protection it affords from public disclosure and use extends
9 only to the limited information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment
10 under the applicable legal principles.
11 B. GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT
12 This action is likely to involve personal and sensitive medical information,
13 confidential commercial, business, financial, and/or proprietary information for
14 which special protection from public disclosure and from use for any purpose other
15 than prosecution of this action is warranted. Such confidential and proprietary
16 materials and information consist of, among other things, raw data and test materials
17 relating to the mental examination of the plaintiff, confidential business or financial
18 information, information otherwise generally unavailable to the public, or which may
19 be privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure under state or federal statutes,
20 court rules, case decisions, or common law. Accordingly, to expedite the flow of
21 information, to facilitate the prompt resolution of disputes over confidentiality of
22 discovery materials, to adequately protect information the parties are entitled to keep
23 confidential, to ensure that the parties are permitted reasonable necessary uses of
24 such material in preparation for and in the conduct of trial, to address their handling
25 at the end of the litigation, and serve the ends of justice, a protective order for such
26 information is justified in this matter. It is the intent of the parties that information
27 will not be designated as confidential for tactical reasons and that nothing be so
28 designated without a good faith belief that it has been maintained in a confidential,
1 non-public manner, and there is good cause why it should not be part of the public
2 record of this case.
3 C. ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF PROCEDURE FOR FILING UNDER SEAL
4 The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 12.3, below, that this
5 Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential information
6 under seal; Local Civil Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be followed and
7 the standards that will be applied when a party seeks permission from the court to
8 file material under seal.
9 There is a strong presumption that the public has a right of access to judicial
10 proceedings and records in civil cases. In connection with non-dispositive motions,
11 good cause must be shown to support a filing under seal. See Kamakana v. City and
12 County of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1176 (9th Cir. 2006); Phillips v. Gen. Motors
13 Corp., 307 F.3d 1206, 1210-11 (9th Cir. 2002); Makar-Welbon v. Sony Electrics,
14 Inc., 187 F.R.D. 576, 577 (E.D. Wis. 1999) (even stipulated protective orders require
15 good cause showing), and a specific showing of good cause or compelling reasons
16 with proper evidentiary support and legal justification, must be made with respect to
17 Protected Material that a party seeks to file under seal. The parties’ mere designation
18 of Disclosure or Discovery Material as HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL or
19 CONFIDENTIAL does not—without the submission of competent evidence by
20 declaration, establishing that the material sought to be filed under seal qualifies as
21 confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable—constitute good cause.
22 Further, if a party requests sealing related to a dispositive motion or trial, then
23 compelling reasons, not only good cause, for the sealing must be shown, and the
24 relief sought shall be narrowly tailored to serve the specific interest to be protected.
25 See Pintos v. Pacific Creditors Ass’n, 605 F.3d 665, 677-79 (9th Cir. 2010). For
26 each item or type of information, document, or thing sought to be filed or introduced
27 under seal in connection with a dispositive motion or trial, the party seeking
28 protection must articulate compelling reasons, supported by specific facts and legal
1 justification, for the requested sealing order. Again, competent evidence supporting
2 the application to file documents under seal must be provided by declaration.
3 Any document that is not confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable in
4 its entirety will not be filed under seal if the confidential portions can be redacted. If
5 documents can be redacted, then a redacted version for public viewing, omitting only
6 the confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable portions of the document shall
7 be filed. Any application that seeks to file documents under seal in their entirety
8 should include an explanation of why redaction is not feasible.

28
1 5. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
2 5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection.
3 Each Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under
4 this Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that
5 qualifies under the appropriate standards. The Designating Party must designate for
6 protection only those parts of material, documents, items or oral or written
7 communications that qualify so that other portions of the material, documents, items
8 or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept unjustifiably
9 within the ambit of this Order.
10 Mass, indiscriminate or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations
11 that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper
12 purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the case development process or to impose
13 unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Designating
14 Party to sanctions.
15 If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it
16 designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must
17 promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the inapplicable designation.
18 5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in
19 this Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise
20 stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection
21 under this Order must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or
22 produced.
23 Designation in conformity with this Order requires:
24 (a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic documents,
25 but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that the
26 Producing Party affix at a minimum, the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY
27 CONFIDENTIAL” (hereinafter, collectively “CONFIDENTIAL legend”), to each
28 page that contains protected material. If only a portion of the material on a page
1 qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected
2 portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins).
3 A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents available for inspection
4 need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated
5 which documents it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and
6 before the designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be
7 deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has identified the
8 documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine which
9 documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order. Then, before
10 producing the specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the
11 “CONFIDENTIAL legend” to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a
12 portion of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also
13 must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings
14 in the margins).
15 (b) for testimony given in depositions that the Designating Party identifies the
16 Disclosure or Discovery Material on the record, before the close of the deposition all
17 protected testimony.
18 (c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and for
19 any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the
20 exterior of the container or containers in which the information is stored the legend
21 “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a portion or portions
22 of the information warrants protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable,
23 shall identify the protected portion(s).
24 5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent
25 failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive
26 the Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such material.
27 Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable
28
1 efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this
2 Order.
3 6. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
4 6.1 Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a
5 designation of confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the Court’s
6 Scheduling Order.
7 6.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute
8 resolution process under Local Rule 37.1 et seq.
9 6.3 The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on
10 the Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper
11 purpose (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other
12 parties) may expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating
13 Party has waived or withdrawn the confidentiality designation, all parties shall
14 continue to afford the material in question the level of protection to which it is
15 entitled under the Producing Party’s designation until the Court rules on the
16 challenge.
17 7. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
18 7.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is
19 disclosed or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this
20 Action only for prosecuting, defending or attempting to settle this Action. Such
21 Protected Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the
22 conditions described in this Order. When the Action has been terminated, a
23 Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of section 13 below (FINAL
24 DISPOSITION).
25 Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a
26 location and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons
27 authorized under this Order.
28
1 7.2 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless
2 otherwise ordered by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a
3 Receiving Party may disclose any information or item designated
4 “CONFIDENTIAL” only to:
5 (a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this Action, as well as
6 employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably necessary to
7 disclose the information for this Action;
8 (b) the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel) of the
9 Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action;
10 (c) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom
11 disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed the
12 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);
13 (d) the court and its personnel;
14 (e) court reporters and their staff;
15 (f) professional jury or trial consultants and Professional Vendors to whom
16 disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed the
17 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);
18 (g) the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a
19 custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information;
20 (h) during their depositions, witnesses, and attorneys for witnesses, in the
21 Action to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary provided: (1) the deposing party
22 requests that the witness sign the form attached as Exhibit A hereto; and (2) they will
23 not be permitted to keep any confidential information unless they sign the
24 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A), and it is agreed by the
25 Designating Party or ordered by the court. Pages of transcribed deposition testimony
26 or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material may be separately bound by
27 the court reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone except as permitted under this
28 Stipulated Protective Order; and
1 (i) any mediator or settlement officer, and their supporting personnel,
2 mutually agreed upon by any of the parties engaged in settlement discussions.
3 7.3 Access to and/or disclosure of “Highly Confidential” Information or
4 Items shall be permitted only to the following persons or entities:
5 (a) Outside Counsel of Record in this Action, as well as employees of said
6 Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably necessary to disclose the
7 information for this Action. Such employees whom such access is permitted and/or
8 disclosure is made shall, prior to such access or disclosure, shall be advised of, and
9 become subject to, the provisions of this Order;
10 (b) Experts (as defined in this Order), professional jury or trial consultants,
11 and Professional Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action
12 and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound”
13 (Exhibit A). Outside Counsel of Record for the Party making the disclosure shall
14 deliver a copy of this Order to such person, shall explain its terms to such person,
15 and shall secure the signature of such person the “Acknowledgment and Agreement
16 to Be Bound” (Exhibit A) prior to the disclosure of Highly Confidential Materials. It
17 shall be the obligation of Outside Counsel of Record, upon learning of any breach or
18 threatened breach of this Order, to promptly notify Outside Counsel for the
19 Designating Party of such breach or threatened breach.
20 (c) the court and its personnel;
21 (d) court reporters and their staff;
22 (e) the author or recipient of a document containing the Highly Confidential
23 Information or Item or a custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew
24 the Highly Confidential Information or Item, but only to the extent of that person’s
25 prior familiarity with the Highly Confidential Information or Item.
26
27
28
1 8. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN
2 OTHER LITIGATION
3 If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation
4 that compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this Action as
5 “CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must:
6 (a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall
7 include a copy of the subpoena or court order;
8 (b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order to
9 issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the subpoena
10 or order is subject to this Protective Order. Such notification shall include a copy of
11 this Stipulated Protective Order; and
12 (c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued
13 by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.
14 If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with
15 the subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this
16 action as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL” before a
17 determination by the court from which the subpoena or order issued, unless the Party
18 has obtained the Designating Party’s permission. The Designating Party shall bear
19 the burden and expense of seeking protection in that court of its confidential material
20 and nothing in these provisions should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a
21 Receiving Party in this Action to disobey a lawful directive from another court.
22 9. A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE
23 PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION
24 (a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a Non-
25 Party in this Action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY
26 CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information produced by Non-Parties in connection with
27 this litigation is protected by the remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing
28
1 in these provisions should be construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking
2 additional protections.
3 (b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to
4 produce a Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is
5 subject to an agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s
6 confidential information, then the Party shall:
7 (1) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party
8 that some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality
9 agreement with a Non-Party;
10 (2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated
11 Protective Order in this Action, the relevant discovery request(s), and a
12 reasonably specific description of the information requested; and
13 (3) make the information requested available for inspection by the Non-
14 Party, if requested.
15 (c) If the Non-Party fails to seek a protective order from this court within 14
16 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party may
17 produce the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the discovery
18 request. If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall
19 not produce any information in its possession or control that is subject to the
20 confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a determination by the court.
21 Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the burden and expense
22 of seeking protection in this court of its Protected Material.
23 10. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
24 If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed
25 Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this
26 Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in
27 writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts
28 to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform the person or
1 persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this Order,
2 and (d) request such person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment and
3 Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
4 11. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE
5 PROTECTED MATERIAL
6 When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain
7 inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection,
8 the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil
9 Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify whatever procedure
10 may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for production without prior
11 privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) and (e), insofar as the
12 parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure of a communication or
13 information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work product protection, the
14 parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated protective order submitted
15 to the court.
16 12. MISCELLANEOUS
17 12.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any
18 person to seek its modification by the Court in the future.
19 12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this
20 Protective Order, no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to
21 disclosing or producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in this
22 Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on any
23 ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective Order.
24 12.3 Filing Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any
25 Protected Material must comply with Local Civil Rule 79-5. Protected Material may
26 only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the
27 specific Protected Material at issue. If a Party’s request to file Protected Material
28
1 under seal is denied by the court, then the Receiving Party may file the information
2 in the public record unless otherwise instructed by the court.
3 13. FINAL DISPOSITION
4 After the final disposition of this Action, as defined in paragraph 4, within 60
5 days of a written request by the Designating Party, each Receiving Party must return
6 all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such material. As used in
7 this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts, compilations,
8 summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected
9 Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the Receiving
10 Party must submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the same
11 person or entity, to the Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that (1) identifies
12 (by category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was returned or
13 destroyed and (2) affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any copies,
14 abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or capturing any
15 of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are entitled to
16 retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition, and hearing
17 transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert
18 reports, attorney work product, and consultant and expert work product, even if such
19 materials contain Protected Material. Any such archival copies that contain or
20 constitute Protected Material remain subject to this Protective Order as set forth in
21 Section 4 (DURATION).
