1. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS
21
Discovery in this action is likely to involve production of confidential, proprietary, or
22
private information for which special protection from public disclosure and from use
23
for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may be warranted. Accordingly,
24
the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to enter the following Stipulated
1 Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this Stipulated Protective Order does
2 not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to discovery and that
the protection it affords from public disclosure and use extends only to the limited
3
information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment under the applicable
4
legal principles. The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 13.3 below,
5
that this Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential
6
information under seal; Local Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be
7 followed and the standards that will be applied when a party seeks permission from
8 the Court to file material under seal.
9
2. GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT
10
This action is likely to involve information which is confidential, including trade
11
secrets, pricing and underwriting information, legal advice governed by the tripartite
12 relationship between the insured, insurer, and retained counsel, and other commercial,
13 financial, technical and/or proprietary information for which special protection from
14 public disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecution of this action is
warranted.
15
16 Such confidential and proprietary materials and information consist of, among other
17 things, confidential business or financial information, confidential medical
information of customers, information regarding confidential business practices, or
18
other confidential research, development, or commercial information (including
19
information implicating privacy rights of third parties), information otherwise
20
generally unavailable to the public, or which may be privileged or otherwise
21
protected from disclosure under state or federal statutes, court rules, case decisions,
22 or common law. Accordingly, to expedite the flow of information, to facilitate the
23 prompt resolution of disputes over confidentiality of discovery materials, to
24 adequately protect information the parties are entitled to keep confidential, to ensure
1 preparation for and in the conduct of trial, to address their handling at the end of the
2 litigation, and to serve the ends of justice, a protective order for such information is
justified in this matter. It is the intent of the parties that information will not be
3
designated as confidential for tactical reasons and that nothing be so designated
4
without a good faith belief that it has been maintained in a confidential, non-public
5
manner, and there is good cause why it should not be part of the public record of this
6
case.
7 The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 13.3, below, that this Stipulated
8 Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential information under seal; Local
9 Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be followed and the standards that will
be applied when a party seeks permission from the court to file material under seal.
10
There is a strong presumption that the public has a right of access to judicial
11
proceedings and records in civil cases. In connection with non-dispositive motions,
12
good cause must be shown to support a filing under seal. See Kamakana v. City and
13
Cnty. of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1176 (9th Cir. 2006), Phillips ex rel. Ests. of Byrd
14 v. Gen. Motors Corp., 307 F.3d 1206, 1210–11 (9th Cir. 2002), Makar-Welbon v. Sony
15 Elecs., Inc., 187 F.R.D. 576, 577 (E.D. Wis. 1999) (even stipulated protective orders
16 require good cause showing), and a specific showing of good cause or compelling
reasons with proper evidentiary support and legal justification, must be made with
17
respect to Protected Material that a party seeks to file under seal. The parties’ mere
18
designation of Disclosure or Discovery Material as CONFIDENTIAL does not—
19
without the submission of competent evidence by declaration, establishing that the
20
material sought to be filed under seal qualifies as confidential, privileged, or otherwise
21 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 relief
24 sought shall be narrowly tailored to serve the specific interest to be protected. See
1 or type of information, document, or thing sought to be filed or introduced under seal
2 in connection with a dispositive motion or trial, the party seeking protection must
articulate compelling reasons, supported by specific facts and legal justification, for
3
the requested sealing order. Again, competent evidence supporting the application to
4
file documents under seal must be provided by declaration.
5
Any document that is not confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable in
6
its entirety will not be filed under seal if the confidential portions can be redacted. If
7
documents can be redacted, then a redacted version for public viewing, omitting only
8
the confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable portions of the document, shall
9 be filed. Any application that seeks to file documents under seal in their entirety
10 should include an explanation of why redaction is not feasible.

1 from “compelling reasons” standard when merits-related documents are part of court
2 record). Accordingly, the terms of this Stipulated Protective Order do not extend
beyond the commencement of the trial.
3
4 6. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
5 6.1. Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection.
6
Each Party or Nonparty that designates information or items for protection under this
7
Stipulated Protective Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific
8 material that qualifies under the appropriate standards. The Designating Party must
9 designate for protection only those parts of material, documents, items, or oral or
10 written communications that qualify so that other portions of the material, documents,
items, or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept
11
unjustifiably within the ambit of this Stipulated Protective Order.
12
Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations that are
13
shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper purpose (e.g.,
14
to unnecessarily encumber the case development process or to impose unnecessary
15
expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Designating Party to
16
sanctions.
17
6.2. Manner and Timing of Designations.
18
Except as otherwise provided in this Stipulated Protective Order (see, e.g., Section
19
6.2(a)), or as otherwise stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that
20
qualifies for protection under this Stipulated Protective Order must be clearly so
21
designated before the material is disclosed or produced.
22
///
23
Designation in conformity with this Stipulated Protective Order requires the
24
1 (a) For information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic documents, but
2 excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that
the Producing Party affix at a minimum, the legend “CONFIDENTIAL
3
SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER” (hereinafter “CONFIDENTIAL
4
legend”) to each page that contains protected material. If only a portion or
5
portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party
6
also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate
7 markings in the margins).
8 A Party or Nonparty that makes original documents available for inspection need not
9 designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated which
documents it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and before the
10
designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be deemed
11
“CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has identified the documents it wants
12
copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine which documents, or
13
portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Stipulated Protective Order. Then,
14 before producing the specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the
15 CONFIDENTIAL legend to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a
16 portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing
Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate
17
markings in the margins).
18
19 (b) For testimony given in depositions, that the Designating Party identify
the Disclosure or Discovery Material on the record, before the close of the
20
deposition, all protected testimony.
21
(c) For information produced in nondocumentary form, and for any other
22
tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the
23
exterior of the container or containers in which the information is stored the
24 legend “CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a portion or portions of the information
1 identify the protected portion(s).
2 6.3. Inadvertent Failure to Designate.
If timely corrected, an inadvertent failure to designate qualified information or items
3
does not, standing alone, waive the Designating Party’s right to secure protection
4
under this Stipulated Protective Order for such material. Upon timely correction of a
5
designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable efforts to assure that the
6
material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this Stipulated Protective
7 Order.
8 7. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
9 7.1. Timing of Challenges.
Any Party or Nonparty may challenge a designation of confidentiality at any
10
time that is consistent with the Court’s Scheduling Order.
11
7.2. Meet and Confer.
12
The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute resolution process, which shall
13
comply with Local Rule 37.1 et seq. and with Section 4 of Judge Audero’s
14 Procedures (“Mandatory Telephonic Conference for Discovery Disputes”).1
15
7.3. Burden of Persuasion.
16
The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on the
17
Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper purpose
18
(e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may
19 expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating Party has waived
20 or withdrawn the confidentiality designation, all parties shall continue to afford the
21 material in question the level of protection to which it is entitled under the Producing
Party’s designation until the Court rules on the challenge.
22
23 7.4 Compliance with Case Management Order
24
1 All aspects of challenging confidentiality designations, including the meet and
2 confer process, shall be consistent with Section 6 of the Court’s May 29, 2025
Scheduling and Case Management Order.
3
4 8. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIALS
5 8.1. Basic Principles.
6
A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is disclosed or produced by
7
another Party or by a Nonparty in connection with this Action only for prosecuting,
8 defending, or attempting to settle this Action. Such Protected Material may be
9 disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the conditions described in this
10 Stipulated Protective Order. When the Action reaches a final disposition, a Receiving
Party must comply with the provisions of Section 14 below (FINAL DISPOSITION).
11
12 Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a location
and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons authorized
13
under this Stipulated Protective Order.
14
8.2. Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless otherwise
15
ordered by the Court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a Receiving
16
Party may disclose any information or item designated “CONFIDENTIAL” only to:
17
(a) The Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record, as well as employees of said
18
Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably necessary to disclose the
19
information for this Action;
20
(b) The officers, directors, and employees (including In-House Counsel) of the
21
Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action;
22
(c) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is
23
reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and
24
1 (d) The Court and its personnel;
2
(e) Court reporters and their staff;
3
(f) Professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, and Professional Vendors to
4
whom disclosure is reasonably necessary or this Action and who have signed the
5 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to be Bound” (Exhibit A);
6
(g) The author or recipient of a document containing the information or a custodian or
7
other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information;
8
(h) During their depositions, witnesses, and attorneys for witnesses, in the Action to
9
whom disclosure is reasonably necessary provided: (i) the deposing party requests
10 that the witness sign the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit
11 A); and (ii) the witness will not be permitted to keep any confidential information
12 unless they sign the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound,” unless
otherwise agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the Court. Pages of
13
transcribed deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected
14
Material may be separately bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to
15
anyone except as permitted under this Stipulated Protective Order; and
16
(i) Any mediator or settlement officer, and their supporting personnel, mutually
17
agreed upon by any of the parties engaged in settlement discussions.
18
9. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN
19
OTHER LITIGATION
20
If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation
21
that compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this Action as
22
“CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must:
23
(a) Promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall
24
1 (b) Promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order to
2 issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the subpoena or
order is subject to this Stipulated Protective Order. Such notification shall include a
3
copy of this Stipulated Protective Order; and
4
5 (c) Cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued
by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.
6
7 If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with
the subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this
8
action as “CONFIDENTIAL” before a determination by the Court from which the
9
subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s
10
permission. The Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking
11
protection in that court of its confidential material and nothing in these provisions
12 should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this Action to
13 disobey a lawful directive from another court.
14
10. A NONPARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE
15 PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION
16
10.1. Application.
17
The terms of this Stipulated Protective Order are applicable to information
18
produced by a Nonparty in this Action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such
19
information produced by Nonparties in connection with this litigation is protected by
20 the remedies and relief provided by this Stipulated Protective Order. Nothing in these
21 provisions should be construed as prohibiting a Nonparty from seeking additional
protections.
22
23 10.2. Notification.
24 In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to produce a
1 agreement with the Nonparty not to produce the Nonparty’s confidential information,
2 then the Party shall:
3 (a) Promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Nonparty that some or
4 all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality agreement with a
5 Nonparty;
(b) Promptly provide the Nonparty with a copy of the Stipulated Protective Order
6
in this Action, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably specific description
7
of the information requested; and
8
(c) Make the information requested available for inspection by the Nonparty, if
9
requested.
10 10.3. Conditions of Production.
11
(a) If the Nonparty fails to seek a protective order from this Court within fourteen
12 (14) days after receiving the notice and accompanying information, the
13 Receiving Party may produce the Nonparty’s confidential information
14 responsive to the discovery request. If the Nonparty timely seeks a protective
order, the Receiving Party shall not produce any information in its possession
15
or control that is subject to the confidentiality agreement with the Nonparty
16
before a determination by the Court. Absent a court order to the contrary, the
17
Nonparty shall bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in this Court
18
of its Protected Material.
19
11. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
20
If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed
21
Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this
22
Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party immediately must (1) notify in
23 writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (2) use its best efforts
24 to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (3) inform the person or
1 Stipulated Protective Order, and (4) request such person or persons to execute the
2 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to be Bound” (Exhibit A).
3 12. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR
4 OTHERWISE PROTECTED MATERIAL
5 When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain
inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection,
6
the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil
7
Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify whatever procedure
8
may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for production without prior
9
privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) and (e), insofar as the
10 parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure of a communication or
11 information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work product protection, the
12 parties may incorporate their agreement in the Stipulated Protective Order submitted
13
to the Court.
13. MISCELLANEOUS
14
13.1. Right to Further Relief.
15
Nothing in this Stipulated Protective Order abridges the right of any person to
16
seek its modification by the Court in the future.
17 13.2. Right to Assert Other Objections.
18 By stipulating to the entry of this Stipulated Protective Order, no Party waives
19 any right it otherwise would have to object to disclosing or producing any
information or item on any ground not addressed in this Stipulated Protective Order.
20
Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on any ground to use in evidence of any
21
of the material covered by this Stipulated Protective Order.
22
13.3. Filing Protected Material.
23
A Party that seeks to file under seal any Protected Material must comply with
24 Local Rule 79-5. Protected Material may only be filed under seal pursuant to a court
1 request to file Protected Material under seal is denied by the Court, then the
2 Receiving Party may file the information in the public record unless otherwise
3
instructed by the Court.
14. FINAL DISPOSITION
4
After the final disposition of this Action, as defined in paragraph 3.8, within
5
sixty (60) days of a written request by the Designating Party, each Receiving Party
6
must return all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such material. As
7 used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts,
8 compilations, summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the
9 Protected Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the
Receiving Party must submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if not
10
the same person or entity, to the Designating Party) by the 60-day deadline that (1)
11
identifies (by category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was
12
returned or destroyed and (2) affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any
13
copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or
14 capturing any of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel is
15 entitled to retain an archival copy of all pleadings; motion papers; trial, deposition,
16 and hearing transcripts; legal memoranda; correspondence; deposition and trial
exhibits; expert reports; attorney work product; and consultant and expert work
17
product, even if such materials contain Protected Material. Any such archival copies
18
that contain or constitute Protected Material remain subject to this Stipulated
19
Protective Order as set forth in Section 5 (DURATION).
20
15. VIOLATION
21 Any violation of this Stipulated Order may be punished by any and all
22 appropriate measures including, without limitation, contempt proceedings and/or
23 monetary sanctions.
