11 Plaintiff, STIPULATED PROTECTIVE
ORDER
12
v.
13
EXPERIAN INFORMATION
SOLUTIONS, INC.,
14
Defendant.
15
16
17 Based on the parties’ Stipulation (Dkt. 23) and for good cause shown, the
18 Court finds and orders as follows.
19 1. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS
20 Discovery in this action is likely to involve production of confidential,
21 proprietary or private information for which special protection from public
22 disclosure and from use for any purpose other than pursuing this litigation may
23 be warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the Court
24 to enter the following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that
25 this Order does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to
26 discovery and that the protection it affords from public disclosure and use
27 extends only to the limited information or items that are entitled to confidential
28 treatment under the applicable legal principles.
11
22 2. GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT
33 This action is likely to involve trade secrets, customer and pricing lists and
44 other valuable research, development, commercial, financial, technical and/or
55 proprietary information for which special protection from public disclosure and
66 from use for any purpose other than prosecution of this action is warranted.
77 Such confidential and proprietary materials and information consist of, among
88 other things, confidential business or financial information, information
99 regarding confidential business practices, or other confidential research,
1100 development, or commercial information (including information implicating
1111 privacy rights of third parties), information otherwise generally unavailable to
1122 the public, or which may be privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure
1133 under state or federal statutes, court rules, case decisions, or common law.
1144 Accordingly, to expedite the flow of information, to facilitate the prompt
1155 resolution of disputes over confidentiality of discovery materials, to adequately
1166 protect information the parties are entitled to keep confidential, to ensure that
1177 the parties are permitted reasonable necessary uses of such material in
1188 preparation for and in the conduct of trial, to address their handling at the end
1199 of the litigation, and serve the ends of justice, a protective order for such
2200 information is justified in this matter. It is the intent of the parties that
2211 information will not be designated as confidential for tactical reasons and that
2222 nothing be so designated without a good faith belief that it has been maintained
2233 in a confidential, non-public manner, and there is good cause why it should not
2244 be part of the public record of this case.
2255 3. ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF UNDER SEAL FILING
2266 PROCEDURE
2277 The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 14.3, below, that
2288 this Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential
11 information under seal; Local Civil Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must
22 be followed and the standards that will be applied when a party seeks
33 permission from the court to file material under seal. There is a strong
44 presumption that the public has a right of access to judicial proceedings and
55 records in civil cases. In connection with non-dispositive motions, good cause
66 must be shown to support a filing under seal. See Kamakana v. City and County
77 of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1176 (9th Cir. 2006), Phillips v. Gen. Motors
88 Corp., 307 F.3d 1206, 1210-11 (9th Cir. 2002), Makar-Welbon v. Sony Electrics,
99 Inc., 187 F.R.D. 576, 577 (E.D. Wis. 1999) (even stipulated protective orders
1100 require good cause showing), and a specific showing of good cause or
1111 compelling reasons with proper evidentiary support and legal justification, must
1122 be made with respect to Protected Material that a party seeks to file under seal.
1133 The parties’ mere designation of Disclosure or Discovery Material as
1144 CONFIDENTIAL or CONFIDENTIAL-ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY does
1155 not— without the submission of competent evidence by declaration, establishing
1166 that the material sought to be filed under seal qualifies as confidential,
1177 privileged, or otherwise protectable—constitute good cause.
1188 Further, if a party requests sealing related to a dispositive motion or trial,
1199 then compelling reasons, not only good cause, for the sealing must be shown,
2200 and the relief sought shall be narrowly tailored to serve the specific interest to be
2211 protected. See Pintos v. Pacific Creditors Ass’n., 605 F.3d 665, 677-79 (9th Cir.
2222 2010). For each item or type of information, document, or thing sought to be
2233 filed or introduced under seal, the party seeking protection must articulate
2244 compelling reasons, supported by specific facts and legal justification, for the
2255 requested sealing order. Again, competent evidence supporting the application
2266 to file documents under seal must be provided by declaration.
2277 Any document that is not confidential, privileged, or otherwise
2288 protectable in its entirety will not be filed under seal if the confidential portions
11 can be redacted. If documents can be redacted, then a redacted version for
22 public viewing, omitting only the confidential, privileged, or otherwise
33 protectable portions of the document, shall be filed. Any application that seeks
44 to file documents under seal in their entirety should include an explanation of
55 why redaction is not feasible.

2244 5. SCOPE
2255 The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only
2266 Protected Material (as defined above), but also (1) any information copied or
2277 extracted from Protected Material; (2) all copies, excerpts, summaries, or
2288 compilations of Protected Material; and (3) any testimony, conversations, or
11 presentations by Parties or their Counsel that might reveal Protected Material.
22 Any use of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by the orders of
33 the trial judge and other applicable authorities. This Order does not govern the
44 use of Protected Material at trial.
55 6. DURATION
66 Once a case proceeds to trial, information that was designated as
77 CONFIDENTIAL or “CONFIDENTIAL-ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” or
88 maintained pursuant to this protective order used or introduced as an exhibit at
99 trial becomes public and will be presumptively available to all members of the
1100 public, including the press, unless compelling reasons supported by specific
1111 factual findings to proceed otherwise are made to the trial judge in advance of
1122 the trial. See Kamakana, 447 F.3d at 1180-81 (distinguishing “good cause”
1133 showing for sealing documents produced in discovery from “compelling
1144 reasons” standard when merits-related documents are part of court record).
1155 Accordingly, the terms of this protective order do not extend beyond the
1166 commencement of the trial.
1177 7. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
1188 7.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for
1199 Protection. Each Party or Non-Party that designates information or
2200 items for protection under this Order must take care to limit any such
2211 designation to specific material that qualifies under the appropriate standards.
2222 The Designating Party must designate for protection only those parts of
2233 material, documents, items or oral or written communications that qualify so
2244 that other portions of the material, documents, items or communications for
2255 which protection is not warranted are not swept unjustifiably within the ambit
2266 of this Order.
2277 Mass, indiscriminate or routinized designations are prohibited.
2288 Designations that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for
11 an improper purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the case development
22 process or to impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may
33 expose the Designating Party to sanctions.
44 If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items
55 that it designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating
66 Party must promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the
77 inapplicable designation.
88 7.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided
99 in this Order, or as otherwise stipulated or ordered, Disclosure of Discovery
1100 Material that qualifies for protection under this Order must be clearly so
1111 designated before the material is disclosed or produced.
1122 Designation in conformity with this Order requires:
1133 (a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic
1144 documents, but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial
1155 proceedings), that the Producing Party affix at a minimum, the legend
1166 “CONFIDENTIAL” or “CONFIDENTIAL-ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”
1177 (hereinafter “CONFIDENTIAL legend”), to each page that contains protected
1188 material. If only a portion of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the
1199 Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by
2200 making appropriate markings in the margins).
2211 A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents available for
2222 inspection need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party
2233 has indicated which documents it would like copied and produced. During the
2244 inspection and before the designation, all of the material made available for
2255 inspection shall be deemed “CONFIDENTIAL” or “CONFIDENTIAL-
2266 ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” After the inspecting Party has identified the
2277 documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine
2288 which documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order.
11 Then, before producing the specified documents, the Producing Party must affix
22 the “CONFIDENTIAL legend” to each page that contains Protected Material.
33 If only a portion of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing
44 Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making
55 appropriate markings in the margins).
66 (b) for testimony given in depositions that the Designating Party
77 identifies the Disclosure or Discovery Material on the record, before the close of
88 the deposition all protected testimony.
99 (c) for information produced in some form other than documentary
1100 and for any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent
1111 place on the exterior of the container or containers in which the information is
1122 stored the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” or “CONFIDENTIAL-ATTORNEYS’
1133 EYES ONLY.” If only a portion or portions of the information warrants
1144 protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the
1155 protected portion(s).
1166 7.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an
1177 inadvertent failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing
1188 alone, waive the Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order
1199 for such material. Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party
2200 must make reasonable efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance
2211 with the provisions of this Order.
2222 8. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
2233 8.1. Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a
2244 designation of confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the Court’s
2255 Scheduling Order.
2266 8.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute
2277 resolution process under Local Rule 37-1 et seq.
2288 / / /
11 8.3 Joint Stipulation. Any challenge submitted to the Court shall be via a
22 joint stipulation pursuant to Local Rule 37-2.
33 8.4 The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on
44 the Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper
55 purpose (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other
66 parties) may expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating
77 Party has waived or withdrawn the confidentiality designation, all parties shall
88 continue to afford the material in question the level of protection to which it is
99 entitled under the Producing Party’s designation until the Court rules on the
1100 challenge.
1111 9. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
1122 9.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is
1133 disclosed or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with
1144 this Action only for prosecuting, defending or attempting to settle this Action.
1155 Protected Material shall not be used, directly or indirectly, by any person, for
1166 any business, commercial or competitive purposes or for any purpose
1177 whatsoever other than solely for the preparation for and trial of this action in
1188 accordance with the provisions of this Order. Such Protected Material may be
1199 disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the conditions described in
2200 this Order. When the Action has been terminated, a Receiving Party must
2211 comply with the provisions of section 15 below (FINAL DISPOSITION).
2222 Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at
2233 a location and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the
2244 persons authorized under this Order.
2255 9.2 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” or “CONFIDENTIAL -
2266 ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” Information or Items. Unless
2277 otherwise ordered by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party,
2288 a Receiving Party may disclose any information or item designated
11 “CONFIDENTIAL” or “CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”
22 only to:
33 (a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this Action,
44 as well as employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is
55 reasonably necessary to disclose the information for this Action;
66 (b) the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel)
77 of the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this
88 Action;
99 (c) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to
1100 whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed
1111 the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);
1122 (d) the court and its personnel;
1133 (e) court reporters and their staff;
1144 (f) professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, and
1155 Professional Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action
1166 and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound”
1177 (Exhibit A);
1188 (g) the author or recipient of a document containing the information
1199 or a custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the
2200 information;
2211 (h) during their depositions, witnesses, and attorneys for witnesses,
2222 in the Action to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary provided: (1) the
2233 deposing party requests that the witness sign the form attached as Exhibit A
2244 hereto; and (2) they will not be permitted to keep any confidential information
2255 unless they sign the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit
2266 A), unless otherwise agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the court.
2277 Pages of transcribed deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal
2288 Protected Material may be separately bound by the court reporter and may not
11 be disclosed to anyone except as permitted under this Stipulated Protective
22 Order; and
33 (i) any mediators or settlement officers and their supporting
44 personnel, mutually agreed upon by any of the parties engaged in settlement
55 discussions.
66 10. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED
77 PRODUCED IN OTHER LITIGATION
88 If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other
99 litigation that compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this
1100 Action as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS’ EYES
1111 ONLY” that Party must:
1122 (a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such
1133 notification shall include a copy of the subpoena or court order;
1144 (b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or
1155 order to issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by
1166 the subpoena or order is subject to this Protective Order. Such notification shall
1177 include a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order; and
1188 (c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be
1199 pursued by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected. If
2200 the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with the
2211 subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this
2222 action as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS’ EYES
2233 ONLY” before a determination by the court from which the subpoena or order
2244 issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s permission. The
2255 Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in
2266 that court of its confidential material and nothing in these provisions should be
2277 construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this Action to
2288 disobey a lawful directive from another court.
11
22 11. A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO
33 BE PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION
44 (a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced
55 by a Non-Party in this Action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” or
66 “CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” Such information
77 produced by Non-Parties in connection with this litigation is protected by the
88 remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in these provisions should
99 be construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional protections.
1100 (b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request,
1111 to produce a Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the
1122 Party is subject to an agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-
1133 Party’s confidential information, then the Party shall:
1144 (1) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-
1155 Party that some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality
1166 agreement with a Non-Party;
1177 (2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated
1188 Protective Order in this Action, the relevant discovery request(s), and a
1199 reasonably specific description of the information requested; and
2200 (3) make the information requested available for inspection by the
2211 Non-Party, if requested.
2222 (c) If the Non-Party fails to seek a protective order from this court
2233 within 14 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the
2244 Receiving Party may produce the Non-Party’s confidential information
2255 responsive to the discovery request. If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective
2266 order, the Receiving Party shall not produce any information in its possession or
2277 control that is subject to the confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party
2288 before a determination by the court. Absent a court order to the contrary, the
11 Non-Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in this court
22 of its Protected Material.
33 12. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED
44 MATERIAL
55 If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has
66 disclosed Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not
77 authorized under this Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must
88 immediately (a) notify in writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized
99 disclosures, (b) use its best efforts to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the
1100 Protected Material, (c) inform the person or persons to whom unauthorized
1111 disclosures were made of all the terms of this Order, and (d) request such person
1122 or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment an Agreement to Be Bound”
1133 attached hereto as Exhibit A.
1144 13. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR
1155 OTHERWISE PROTECTED MATERIAL
1166 When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain
1177 inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other
1188 protection, the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal
1199 Rule of Civil\ Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify
2200 whatever procedure may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for
2211 production without prior privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence
2222 502(d) and (e), insofar as the parties reach an agreement on the effect of
2233 disclosure of a communication or information covered by the attorney-client
2244 privilege or work product protection, the parties may incorporate their
2255 agreement in the stipulated protective order submitted to the court.
2266 14. MISCELLANEOUS
2277 14.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of
2288 any person to seek its modification by the Court in the future.
11 14.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this
22 Protective Order, no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to
33 disclosing or producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in
44 this Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object
55 on any ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this
66 Protective Order.
77 14.3 Filing Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any
88 Protected Material must comply with Local Civil Rule 79-5. Protected Material
99 may only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of
1100 the specific Protected Material. If a Party’s request to file Protected Material
1111 under seal is denied by the court, then the Receiving Party may file the
1122 information in the public record unless otherwise instructed by the court.
1133 15. FINAL DISPOSITION
1144 After the final disposition of this Action, as defined in paragraph 6, within
1155 60 days, each Receiving Party must return all Protected Material to the
1166 Producing Party. As used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes
1177 all copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries, and any other format
1188 reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material. The Receiving Party
1199 must submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the same
2200 person or entity, to the Designating Party) by the 60-day deadline that (1)
2211 identifies (by category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was
2222 returned and (2) affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any copies,
2233 abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or
2244 capturing any of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision,
2255 Counsel are entitled to retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers,
2266 trial, deposition, and hearing transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence,
2277 deposition and trial exhibits, expert reports, attorney work product, and
2288 consultant and expert work product, even if such materials contain Protected
1 || Material. Any such archival copies that contain or constitute Protected Material
2 || remain subject to this Protective Order as set forth in Section 6 (DURATION).
3 16. VIOLATION
4 Any violation of this Order may be punished by appropriate measures
5 || including, without limitation, contempt proceedings and/or monetary
6 || sanctions.
7 || FOR GOOD CAUSE SHOWN, IT IS SO ORDERED.
