___________________________________________________________________________________________

1. GENERAL

1

2 1.1 Purposes and Limitations. Discovery in this action is likely to involve

3

production of confidential, proprietary, or private information for which special

4

protection from public disclosure and from use for any purpose other than

5

6 prosecuting this litigation may be warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby

7

stipulate to and petition the Court to enter the following Stipulated Protective

8

Order. The parties acknowledge that this Order does not confer blanket protections

9

10 on all disclosures or responses to discovery and that the protection it affords from

11

public disclosure and use extends only to the limited information or items that are

12

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

13

14 further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 12.3, below, that this Stipulated

15

Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential information under seal;

16

17 Civil Local Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be followed and the

18 standards that will be applied when a party seeks permission from the court to file

19

material under seal.

20

21 1.2 Good Cause Statement. This action is likely to involve material that

22 at least one of the parties contends qualifies as trade secrets, confidential, financial,

23

proprietary and/or commercially sensitive business information for which special

24

25 protection from public disclosure and from use for any purpose other than

26 prosecution of this action is actually or allegedly warranted, specifically including

27 2

___________________________________________________________________________________________

(a) insurance claims manuals and guidelines that may apply to the claim at issue in

1

2 this lawsuit, (b) insurance underwriting manuals and guidelines that may apply to

3

the insurance policy at issue in this lawsuit, (c) training manuals or materials that

4

would apply to the handling of the insurance claim and/or the issuance of the

5

6 insurance policies at issue in this lawsuit, and (d) financial information of the

7

parties which is not available to the general public for which the responding party

8

seeks to maintain the confidentiality of such financial information. Such actually

9

10 or allegedly confidential and proprietary materials and information could also

11

consist of, among other things, information regarding confidential business

12

practices, confidential research, development, or commercial information

13

14 (including information implicating privacy rights of third parties), information

15

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

16

17 otherwise protected from disclosure under state or federal statutes, court rules, case

18 decisions, or common law. Accordingly, to expedite the flow of information, to

19

facilitate the prompt resolution of disputes over confidentiality of discovery

20

21 materials, to adequately protect information the parties are entitled to keep

22 confidential, to ensure that the parties are permitted reasonable necessary uses of

23

such material in preparation for and in the conduct of trial, to address their

24

25 handling at the end of the litigation, and serve the ends of justice, a protective order

26 for such information is justified in this matter. It is the intent of the parties that

27 3

___________________________________________________________________________________________

information will not be designated as confidential for tactical reasons and that

1

2 nothing be so designated without a good faith belief that it has been maintained in

3

a confidential, non-public manner, and there is good cause why it should not be

4

part of the public record of this case.

5

6 2. DEFINITIONS

7

2.1 Action: this pending federal lawsuit.

2.2 Challenging Party: a Party or Non-Party that challenges the

9

10 designation of information or items under this Order.

21 or items that it produces in disclosures or in responses to discovery as

22 “CONFIDENTIAL.”

23

2.6 Disclosure or Discovery Material: all items or information, regardless

24

25 of the medium or manner in which it is generated, stored, or maintained (including,

26

27 4

___________________________________________________________________________________________

among other things, testimony, transcripts, and tangible things), that are produced

1

2 or generated in disclosures or responses to discovery in this matter.

3

2.7 Expert: a person with specialized knowledge or experience in a

4

matter pertinent to the litigation who has been retained by a Party or its counsel to

5

6 serve as an expert witness or as a consultant in this Action.

7

8

Action. House Counsel does not include Outside Counsel of Record or any other

9

10 outside counsel.

11

2.9 Non-Party: any natural person, partnership, corporation, association,

12

or other legal entity not named as a Party to this action.

13

14 2.10 Outside Counsel of Record: attorneys who are not employees of a

15

party to this Action but are retained to represent or advise a party to this Action

16

18 firm that has appeared on behalf of that party, including support staff.

19

2.11 Party: any party to this Action, including all of its officers, directors,

20

21 employees, consultants, retained experts, and Outside Counsel of Record (and their

22 support staffs).

23

26

27 5

___________________________________________________________________________________________

2.13 Professional Vendors: persons or entities that provide litigation

1

2 support services (e.g., photocopying, videotaping, translating, preparing exhibits or

3

demonstrations, and organizing, storing, or retrieving data in any form or medium)

4

and their employees and subcontractors.

5

6 2.14 Protected Material: any Disclosure or Discovery Material that is

7

designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.”

8

2.15 Receiving Party: a Party that receives Disclosure or Discovery

9

10 Material from a Producing Party.

11

12

3. SCOPE

13

14 The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only

15

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

16

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

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

19

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

20

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

22 trial judge. This Order does not govern the use of Protected Material at trial.

23

24

25 4. DURATION

26 Once a case proceeds to trial, all of the court-filed information to be

27 6

___________________________________________________________________________________________

introduced that was previously designated as confidential or maintained pursuant

1

2 to this protective order becomes public and will be presumptively available to all

3

members of the public, including the press, unless compelling reasons supported

4

by specific factual findings to proceed otherwise are made to the trial judge in

5

6 advance of the trial. See Kamakana v. City and Cty. of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172,

7

1180-81 (9th Cir. 2006) (distinguishing “good cause” showing for sealing

8

documents produced in discovery from “compelling reasons” standard when

9

10 merits-related documents are part of court record). Accordingly, the terms of this

11

protective order do not extend beyond the commencement of the trial.

12

13

14 5. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL

15

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

16

17 Each Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under

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

19

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

20

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

22 communications that qualify so that other portions of the material, documents,

23

items, or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept

24

25 unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order.

26

27 7

___________________________________________________________________________________________

Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited.

1

2 Designations that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an

3

improper purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the case development process

4

or to impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the

5

6 Designating Party to sanctions.

7

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

8

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

9

10 promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the inapplicable designation.

11

5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in

12

this Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise

13

14 stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection

15

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

16

17 produced.

18 Designation in conformity with this Order requires:

19

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

20

21 documents, but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial

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

23

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

24

25 contains protected material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a page

26

27 8

___________________________________________________________________________________________

qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the

1

2 protected 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

6 which documents it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and

7

before the designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be

8

deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has identified the

9

10 documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine

11

which documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order.

12

Then, before producing the specified documents, the Producing Party must affix

13

14 the “CONFIDENTIAL legend” to each page that contains Protected Material. If

15

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

16

17 Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making

18 appropriate markings in the margins).

19

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

20

21 identify the Disclosure or Discovery Material on the record, before the close of the

22 deposition.

23

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

24

25 and for any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent

26 place on the exterior of the container or containers in which the information is

27 9

___________________________________________________________________________________________

stored the legend “CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a portion or portions of the

1

2 information warrants protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable,

3

shall identify the protected portion(s).

4

5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent

5

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

7

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

8

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

9

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

11

provisions of this Order.

12

13

14 6. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS

15

6.1 Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a

16

17 designation of confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the Court’s

18 Scheduling Order.

19

6.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute

20

21 resolution process under Local Rule 37-1, et seq. Any discovery motion must

22 strictly comply with the procedures set forth in Local Rules 37-1, 37-2, and 37-3.

23

6.3 Burden. The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding

24

25 shall be on the Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an

26 improper purpose (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on

27 10

___________________________________________________________________________________________

other parties) may expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the

1

2 Designating Party has waived or withdrawn the confidentiality designation, all

3

parties shall continue to afford the material in question the level of protection to

4

which it is entitled under the Producing Party’s designation until the Court rules on

5

6 the challenge.

7

8

7. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

9

10 7.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that

11

is disclosed or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this

12

Action only for prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this Action. Such

13

14 Protected Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons and under

15

the conditions described in this Order. When the Action has been terminated, a

16

17 Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of section 13 below (FINAL

18 DISPOSITION).

19

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

20

21 location and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons

22 authorized under this Order.

23

7.2 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless

24

25 otherwise ordered by the Court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a

26

27 11

___________________________________________________________________________________________

Receiving Party may disclose any information or item designated

1

2 “CONFIDENTIAL” only to:

3

(a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this Action,

4

as well as employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably

5

6 necessary to disclose the information for this Action;

7

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

8

of the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action;

9

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

14 (d) the Court and its personnel;

15

(e) court reporters and their staff;

16

17 (f) professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, and

18 Professional Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action

19

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

20

21 A);

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

23

or a custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information;

24

25 (h) during their depositions, witnesses, and attorneys for witnesses, in

26 the Action to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary provided: (1) the deposing

27 12

___________________________________________________________________________________________

party requests that the witness sign the form attached as Exhibit A hereto; and (2)

1

2 they will not be permitted to keep any confidential information unless they sign the

3

“Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A), unless otherwise

4

agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the Court. Pages of transcribed

5

6 deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material may

7

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

8

except as permitted under this Stipulated Protective Order; and

9

10 (i) any mediator or settlement officer, and their supporting personnel,

11

mutually agreed upon by any of the parties engaged in settlement discussions.

12

13

14 8. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED

15

PRODUCED IN OTHER LITIGATION

16

17 If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation

18 that compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this Action as

19

“CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must:

20

21 (a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall

22 include a copy of the subpoena or court order;

23

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

24

25 issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the subpoena

26

27 13

___________________________________________________________________________________________

or order is subject to this Protective Order. Such notification shall include a copy

1

2 of this Stipulated Protective Order; and

3

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

4

by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.

5

6 If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served

7

with the subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in

8

this action as “CONFIDENTIAL” before a determination by the court from which

9

10 the subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s

11

permission. The Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking

12

protection in that court of its confidential material and nothing in these provisions

13

14 should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this Action

15

to disobey a lawful directive from another court.

16

17

18 9. A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE

19

PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION

20

21 (a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a

22 Non-Party in this Action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information

23

produced by Non-Parties in connection with this litigation is protected by the

24

25 remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in these provisions should be

26 construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional protections.

27 14

___________________________________________________________________________________________

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

1

2 produce a Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is

3

subject to an agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s

4

confidential information, then the Party shall:

5

6 (1) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-

7

Party that some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality

8

agreement with a Non-Party;

9

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 reasonably

12

specific description of the information requested; and

13

14 (3) make the information requested available for inspection by the

15

Non-Party, if requested.

16

17 (c) If the Non-Party fails to seek a protective order from this Court within

18 14 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving

19

Party may produce the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the

20

21 discovery request. If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving

22 Party shall not produce any information in its possession or control that is subject

23

to the confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a determination by the

24

25 Court. Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the burden

26 and expense of seeking protection in this Court of its Protected Material.

27 15

___________________________________________________________________________________________

10. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

1

2 If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has

3

disclosed Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized

4

under this Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a)

5

6 notify in writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its

7

best efforts to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform

8

the person or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms

9

10 of this Order, and (d) request such person or persons to execute the

11

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

12

A.

13

14

15

11. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR

16

17 OTHERWISE PROTECTED MATERIAL

18 When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain

19

inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other

20

21 protection, the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal

22 Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify

23

whatever procedure may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for

24

25 production without prior privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence

26 502(d) and (e), insofar as the parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure

27 16

___________________________________________________________________________________________

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

1

2 work product protection, the parties may incorporate their agreement in the

3

stipulated protective order submitted to the Court.

4

5

6 12. MISCELLANEOUS

7

12.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of

8

any person to seek its modification by the Court in the future.

9

10 12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this

11

Protective Order, no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to

12

disclosing or producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in

13

14 this Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on

15

any ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective

16

17 Order.

18 12.3 Filing Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any

19

Protected Material must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5. Protected Material

20

21 may only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the

22 specific Protected Material at issue; good cause must be shown in the request to

23

file under seal. If a Party’s request to file Protected Material under seal is denied

24

25 by the Court, then the Receiving Party may file the information in the public record

26 unless otherwise instructed by the Court.

27 17

___________________________________________________________________________________________

13. FINAL DISPOSITION

1

2 After the final disposition of this Action, within 60 days of a written request

3

by the Designating Party, each Receiving Party must return all Protected Material

4

to the Producing Party or destroy such material. As used in this subdivision, “all

5

6 Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries, and

7

any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material. Whether

8

the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the Receiving Party must submit a

9

10 written certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the same person or entity, to

11

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

12

where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was returned or destroyed, and

13

14 (2) affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any copies, abstracts,

15

compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or capturing any of the

16

17 Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, counsel are entitled to retain

18 an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition, and hearing

19

transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert

20

21 reports, attorney work product, and consultant and expert work product, even if

22 such materials contain Protected Material. Any such archival copies that contain

23

or constitute Protected Material remain subject to this Protective Order as set forth

24

25 in Section 4 (DURATION).

26

27 18

___________________________________________________________________________________________

14. VIOLATION OF ORDER

2 Any violation of this Order may be punished by any and all appropriate

3

measures including, without limitation, contempt proceedings and/or monetary

4

5 sanctions.
