5 information while ensuring fair and efficient discovery;

19 e. Any other information designated as "CONFIDENTIAL" under this Order.
20 2. Designation of Confidential Information
21 Any party may mark materials as "CONFIDENTIAL" by clearly labeling them with the
22 designation "CONFIDENTIAL - SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER" before production or
23 disclosure. As to previously produced or disclosed documents the parties will have thirty (30)
24 days from date of executing this document to mark such items as “CONFIDENTIAL –
25 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER”.
26 If any party disagrees with a confidentiality designation, the designating party bears the

PROTECTIVE ORDER
1 ORDER
2 The Court has reviewed the stipulated Protective Order filed by Plaintiff Myesha
3 Frazier-Taylor (“Plaintiff”) and Defendant Cambridge Management, Inc. (“Defendant”),
4 through their counsel of record, requesting that the Court enter an Order.
5
Having considered the above stipulation, and finding good cause, the Court adopts the
6
signed stipulated Protective Order, (Doc. 18), subject to the following:
7
Page 3, line 19: “This Order may be modified by agreement of the parties or further order
8
of the Court” is hereby struck and replaced with “This Order may be modified by agreement of
9
the parties or further order of the Court, up to and until the termination of this action.” In
10
addition, CONFIDENTIAL information may be shared with the Court.
11
The parties are advised that pursuant to the Local Rules of the United States District
12
Court, Eastern District of California, any documents subject to the protective order to be filed
13
under seal must be accompanied by a written request which complies with Local Rule 141 prior
14
to sealing. The party making a request to file documents under seal shall be required to show
15
16 good cause for documents attached to a non-dispositive motion or compelling reasons for
17 documents attached to a dispositive motion. Pintos v. Pacific Creditors Ass’n, 605 F.3d 665,
18 677-78 (9th Cir. 2009). Within five (5) days of any approved document filed under seal, the
19 party shall file a redacted copy of the sealed document. The redactions shall be narrowly tailored
20 to protect only the information that is confidential or was deemed confidential.
21 Additionally, the parties shall consider resolving any dispute arising under the protective
22 order according to the Court’s informal discovery dispute procedure.
23
24
25 IT IS SO ORDERED.
