1 1. INTRODUCTION
2 1.1 Purposes and Limitations. Discovery in this action is likely to involve
3 production of confidential or private information for which special protection from
4 public disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may
5 be warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the court to enter
6 the following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this Order does
7 not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to discovery and that the
8 protection it affords from public disclosure and use extends only to the limited
9 information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment under the applicable legal
10 principles.
11 1.2 Good Cause Statement.
12 This action may involve medical information about Plaintiff, private information
13 about other employees, and sensitive commercial information for which special
14 protection from public disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecution of
15 this action is warranted. Such confidential materials and information consist of, among
16 other things, information pertaining to medical care, private details about other Sanofi
17 employees, and sensitive commercial information otherwise generally unavailable to the
18 public, or which may be privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure under state or
19 federal statutes, court rules, case decisions, or common law. Accordingly, to expedite
20 the flow of information, to facilitate the prompt resolution of disputes over
21 confidentiality of discovery materials, to adequately protect information the parties are
22 entitled to keep confidential, to ensure that the parties are permitted reasonable necessary
23 uses of such material in preparation for and in the conduct of trial, to address their
24 handling at the end of the litigation, and serve the ends of justice, a protective order for
25 such information is justified in this matter. It is the intent of the parties that information
26 will not be designated as confidential for tactical reasons and that nothing be so
27 designated without a good faith belief that it has been maintained in a confidential, non-
28
1 public manner, and there is good cause why it should not be part of the public record of
2 this case.
3 1.3 Acknowledgment of Procedure for Filing Under Seal. The parties further
4 acknowledge, as set forth in Section 12.3, below, that this Stipulated Protective Order
5 does not entitle them to file confidential information under seal; Local Rule 79-5 sets
6 forth the procedures that must be followed and the standards that will be applied when a
7 party seeks permission from the court to file material under seal.
8 There is a strong presumption that the public has a right of access to judicial
9 proceedings and records in civil cases. In connection with non-dispositive motions,
10 good cause must be shown to support a filing under seal. See Kamakana v. City and
11 Cnty. of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1176 (9th Cir. 2006), Phillips ex rel. Ests. of Byrd v.
12 Gen. Motors Corp., 307 F.3d 1206, 1210–11 (9th Cir. 2002), Makar-Welbon v. Sony
13 Elecs., Inc., 187 F.R.D. 576, 577 (E.D. Wis. 1999) (even stipulated protective orders
14 require good cause showing), and a specific showing of good cause or compelling
15 reasons with proper evidentiary support and legal justification, must be made with
16 respect to Protected Material that a party seeks to file under seal. The parties’ mere
17 designation of Disclosure or Discovery Material as CONFIDENTIAL does not—
18 without the submission of competent evidence by declaration, establishing that the
19 material sought to be filed under seal qualifies as confidential, privileged, or otherwise
20 protectable—constitute good cause.
21 Further, if a party requests sealing related to a dispositive motion or trial, then
22 compelling reasons, not only good cause, for the sealing must be shown, and the relief
23 sought shall be narrowly tailored to serve the specific interest to be protected. See
24 Pintos v. Pac. Creditors Ass’n, 605 F.3d 665, 677–79 (9th Cir. 2010). For each item or
25 type of information, document, or thing sought to be filed or introduced under seal in
26 connection with a dispositive motion or trial, the party seeking protection must
27 articulate compelling reasons, supported by specific facts and legal justification, for the
28
1 requested sealing order. Again, competent evidence supporting the application to file
2 documents under seal must be provided by declaration.
3 Any document that is not confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable in its
4 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 be
7 filed. Any application that seeks to file documents under seal in their entirety should
8 include an explanation of why redaction is not feasible.

1 3. SCOPE
2 The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only Protected
3 Material (as defined above), but also (1) any information copied or extracted from
4 Protected Material; (2) all copies, excerpts, summaries, or compilations of Protected
5 Material; and (3) any testimony, conversations, or presentations by Parties or their
6 Counsel that might reveal Protected Material.
7 Any use of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by the orders of the trial
8 judge. This Stipulated Protective Order does not govern the use of Protected Material
9 at trial.
10 4. TRIAL AND DURATION
11 The terms of this Stipulated Protective Order apply through Final Disposition of
12 the Action.
13 Once a case proceeds to trial, information that was designated as
14 CONFIDENTIAL or maintained pursuant to this Stipulated Protective Order and used
15 or introduced as an exhibit at trial becomes public and will be presumptively available
16 to all members of the public, including the press, unless compelling reasons supported
17 by specific factual findings 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” showing
19 for sealing documents produced in discovery from “compelling reasons” standard when
20 merits-related documents are part of court record). Accordingly, for such materials, the
21 terms of this Stipulated Protective Order do not extend beyond the commencement of
22 the trial.
23 Even after Final Disposition of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations
24 imposed by this Stipulated Protective Order shall remain in effect until a Designating
25 Party agrees otherwise in writing or a court order otherwise directs.
26 5. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
27 5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection. Each
28
1 Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under this Order
2 must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that qualifies under the
3 appropriate standards. The Designating Party must designate for protection only those
4 parts of material, documents, items, or oral or written communications that qualify so
5 that other portions of the material, documents, items, or communications for which
6 protection is not warranted are not swept unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order.
7 Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations that
8 are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper purpose
9 (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the case development process or to impose
10 unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Designating Party
11 to sanctions.
12 If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it
13 designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must
14 promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the inapplicable designation.
15 5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in this
16 Stipulated Protective Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as
17 otherwise stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for
18 protection under this Stipulated Protective Order must be clearly so designated before
19 the material is disclosed or produced.
20 Designation in conformity with this Stipulated Protective Order requires:
21 (a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic documents,
22 but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that the
23 Producing Party affix at a minimum, the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” to each page that
24 contains protected material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a page
25 qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected
26 portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins).
27 A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents available for inspection
28
1 need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated
2 which documents it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and before
3 the designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be deemed
4 CONFIDENTIAL. After the inspecting Party has identified the documents it wants
5 copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine which documents, or
6 portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Stipulated Protective Order. Then,
7 before producing the specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the
8 “CONFIDENTIAL” legend to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a
9 portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing
10 Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate
11 markings in the margins).
12 (b) for testimony given in depositions that the Designating Party identify the
13 Disclosure or Discovery Material on the record, before the close of the deposition all
14 protected testimony.
15 (c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and for
16 any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the
17 exterior of the container or containers in which the information is stored the
18 “CONFIDENTIAL” legend. If only a portion or portions of the information warrants
19 protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the protected
20 portion(s).
21 5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent
22 failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive the
23 Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such material. Upon
24 timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable efforts to
25 assure that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this Stipulated
26 Protective Order.
27
28
1 6. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
2 6.1 Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a
3 designation of confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the court’s Scheduling
4 Order.
5 6.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute
6 resolution process under Local Rule 37.1 et seq. and with Section 2 of Judge
7 Christensen’s Civil Procedures titled “Brief Pre-Discovery Motion Conference.”1
8 6.3 The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on the
9 Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper purpose (e.g.,
10 to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the
11 Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating Party has waived or withdrawn
12 the confidentiality designation, all parties shall continue to afford the material in
13 question the level of protection to which it is entitled under the Producing Party’s
14 designation until the court rules on the challenge.
15 7. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
16 7.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is
17 disclosed or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this
18 Action only for prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this Action. Such
19 Protected Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the
20 conditions described in this Order. When the Action reaches a Final Disposition, a
21 Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of section 13 below.
22 Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a
23 location and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons
24 authorized under this Stipulated Protective Order.
25 7.2 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless otherwise

28
1 ordered by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a Receiving Party
2 may disclose any information or item designated “CONFIDENTIAL” only:
3 (a) to the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this Action, as well
4 as employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably necessary to
5 disclose the information for this Action;
6 (b) to the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel) of the
7 Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action;
8 (c) to Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom
9 disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed the
10 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);
11 (d) to the court and its personnel;
12 (e) to court reporters and their staff;
13 (f) to professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, and Professional
14 Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have
15 signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);
16 (g) to the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a
17 custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information;
18 (h) during their depositions, to witnesses, and attorneys for witnesses, in the
19 Action to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary, provided: (1) the deposing party
20 requests that the witness sign the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound”
21 (Exhibit A); and (2) the witness will not be permitted to keep any confidential
22 information unless they sign the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound”
23 (Exhibit A), unless otherwise agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the court.
24 Pages of transcribed deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal
25 Protected Material may be separately bound by the court reporter and may not be
26 disclosed to anyone except as permitted under this Stipulated Protective Order; and
27 (i) to any mediator or settlement officer, and their supporting personnel,
28
1 mutually agreed upon by any of the parties engaged in settlement discussions.
2
3 8. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED
4 IN OTHER LITIGATION
5 If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation that
6 compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this Action as
7 “CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must:
8 (a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall
9 include a copy of the subpoena or court order;
10 (b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order to
11 issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the subpoena or
12 order is subject to this Protective Order. Such notification shall include a copy of this
13 Stipulated Protective Order; and
14 (c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued by
15 the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.
16 If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with
17 the subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this action
18 as “CONFIDENTIAL” before a determination by the court from which the subpoena or
19 order issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s permission. The
20 Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in that court
21 of its confidential material and nothing in these provisions should be construed as
22 authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this Action to disobey a lawful
23 directive from another court.
24 9. A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE
25 PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION
26 9.1 Application. The terms of this Stipulated Protective Order are applicable to
27 information produced by a Non-Party in this Action and designated as
28
1 “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information produced by Non-Parties in connection with this
2 litigation is protected by the remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in
3 these provisions should be construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional
4 protections.
5 9.2 Notification. In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery
6 request, to produce a Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the
7 Party is subject to an agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s
8 confidential information, then the Party shall:
9 (a) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party that
10 some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality agreement with a
11 Non-Party;
12 (b) make the information requested available for inspection by the Non-Party,
13 if requested.
14 9.3 Conditions of Production. If the Non-Party fails to seek a protective order
15 from this court within 14 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information,
16 the Receiving Party may produce the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to
17 the discovery request. If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving
18 Party shall not produce any information in its possession or control that is subject to the
19 confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a determination by the court.
20 Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the burden and expense of
21 seeking protection in this court of its Protected Material.
22 10. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
23 If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed
24 Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this
25 Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in writing
26 the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts to retrieve
27 all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform the person or persons to
28
1 whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this Order, and (d)
2 request such person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be
3 Bound” (Exhibit A).
4
5 11. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE
6 PROTECTED MATERIAL
7 When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain
8 inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection, the
9 obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Rule 26(b)(5)(B) of the
10 Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. This provision is not intended to modify whatever
11 procedure may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for production
12 without prior privilege review. Pursuant to Rules 502(d) and (e) of the Federal Rules of
13 Evidence, insofar as the parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure of a
14 communication or information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work product
15 protection, the parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated protective order
16 submitted to the court.
17 12. MISCELLANEOUS
18 12.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Stipulated Protective Order
19 abridges the right of any person to seek its modification by the court in the future.
20 12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this
21 Stipulated Protective Order no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object
22 to disclosing or producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in this
23 Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on any
24 ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Stipulated Protective
25 Order.
26 12.3 Filing Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any
27 Protected Material must comply with Local Rule 79-5. Protected Material may only be
28
1 filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the specific
2 Protected Material at issue. If a Party's request to file Protected Material under seal is
3 denied by the court, then the Receiving Party may file the information in the public
4 record unless otherwise instructed by the court.
5
6 13. FINAL DISPOSITION
7 After the Final Disposition of this Action, as defined in paragraph 4, within 60
8 days of a written request by the Designating Party, each Receiving Party must return all
9 Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such material. As used in this
10 subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts, compilations,
11 summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected
12 Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the Receiving Party
13 must submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the same person
14 or entity, to the Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that (1) identifies (by
15 category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was returned or destroyed
16 and (2) affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any copies, abstracts,
17 compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or capturing any of the
18 Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel is entitled to retain an
19 archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition, and hearing transcripts,
20 legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert reports, attorney
21 work product, and consultant and expert work product, even if such materials contain
22 Protected Material. Any such archival copies that contain or constitute Protected
23 Material remain subject to this Protective Order as set forth in Section 4.
24
25
26
27

1 14. VIOLATION
2 Any violation of this Stipulated Protective Order may be punished by any and all
3 appropriate measures including, without limitation, contempt proceedings and/or
4 monetary sanctions.

1 EXHIBIT A
2 ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND AGREEMENT TO BE BOUND
3
4 I, ________________________ [print or type full name], of
5 _________________ [print or type full address], declare under penalty of perjury that
6 I have read in its entirety and understand the Stipulated Protective Order that was issued
7 by the United States District Court for the Central District of California on [date] in the
8 case of __________ [insert formal name of the case and the number and initials
9 assigned to it by the court]. I agree to comply with and to be bound by all the terms of
10 this Stipulated Protective Order and I understand and acknowledge that failure to so
11 comply could expose me to sanctions and punishment in the nature of contempt. I
12 solemnly promise that I will not disclose in any manner any information or item that is
13 subject to this Stipulated Protective Order to any person or entity except in strict
14 compliance with the provisions of this Order.
15 I further agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the United States District
