Plaintiff,

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE

7 v. ORDER1

8

TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS INC.,

9

10 Defendant.

13 1. INTRODUCTION

14 1.1 Purposes and Limitations. Discovery in this action is likely to

15

involve production of confidential, proprietary, or private information for

16

which special protection from public disclosure and from use for any

17

purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may be warranted.

18

Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the court to

19

enter the following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties

20

acknowledge that this Order does not confer blanket protections on all

21

disclosures or responses to discovery and that the protection it affords

22

from public disclosure and use extends only to the limited information or

23

items that are entitled to confidential treatment under the applicable

24

legal principles.

25

26

27

1 This Stipulated Protective Order is substantially based on the model

protective order provided under Magistrate Judge Stephanie S.

1 1.2 Good Cause Statement.

2 This action is likely to involve private, confidential, proprietary,

3 and/or commercially-sensitive information for which special protection

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

5 prosecution of this action is warranted. Such confidential and

6 proprietary materials and information consist of, among other things,

7 private financial, credit, and personal identifying information, as well as

8

confidential business, financial, and/or contractual information,

9

information regarding confidential business practices, or other

10

confidential research, development, or commercial information (including

11

information implicating privacy rights of third parties), information

12

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

13

or otherwise protected from disclosure under state or federal statutes,

14

court rules, case decisions, or common law. Accordingly, to expedite the

15

flow of information, to facilitate the prompt resolution of disputes over

16

confidentiality of discovery materials, to adequately protect information

17

the parties are entitled to keep confidential, to ensure that the parties

18

are permitted reasonable necessary uses of such material in preparation

19

for and in the conduct of trial, to address their handling at the end of the

20

litigation, and serve the ends of justice, a protective order for such

21

22 information is justified in this matter. It is the intent of the parties that

23 information will not be designated as confidential for tactical reasons

24 and that nothing be so designated without a good faith belief that it has

25 been maintained in a confidential, non-public manner, and there is good

26 cause why it should not be part of the public record of this case.

27 1.3 Acknowledgment of Procedure for Filing Under Seal. The

1 Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential

2 information under seal; Local Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that

3 must be followed and the standards that will be applied when a party

4 seeks permission from the court to file material under seal.

5 There is a strong presumption that the public has a right of access

6 to judicial proceedings and records in civil cases. In connection with

7 non-dispositive motions, good cause must be shown to support a filing

8

under seal. See Kamakana v. City and Cnty. of Honolulu, 447 F.3d

9

1172, 1176 (9th Cir. 2006), Phillips ex rel. Ests. of Byrd v. Gen. Motors

10

Corp., 307 F.3d 1206, 1210–11 (9th Cir. 2002), Makar-Welbon v. Sony

11

Elecs., Inc., 187 F.R.D. 576, 577 (E.D. Wis. 1999) (even stipulated

12

protective orders require good cause showing), and a specific showing of

13

good cause or compelling reasons with proper evidentiary support and

14

legal justification, must be made with respect to Protected Material that

15

a party seeks to file under seal. The parties’ mere designation of

16

Disclosure or Discovery Material as CONFIDENTIAL does not—

17

without the submission of competent evidence by declaration,

18

establishing that the material sought to be filed under seal qualifies as

19

confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable—constitute good cause.

20

Further, if a party requests sealing related to a dispositive motion

21

22 or trial, then compelling reasons, not only good cause, for the sealing

23 must be shown, and the relief sought shall be narrowly tailored to serve

24 the specific interest to be protected. See Pintos v. Pac. Creditors Ass’n,

25 605 F.3d 665, 677–79 (9th Cir. 2010). For each item or type of

26 information, document, or thing sought to be filed or introduced under

27 seal in connection with a dispositive motion or trial, the party seeking

1 facts and legal justification, for the requested sealing order. Again,

2 competent evidence supporting the application to file documents under

3 seal must be provided by declaration.

4 Any document that is not confidential, privileged, or otherwise

5 protectable in its entirety will not be filed under seal if the confidential

6 portions can be redacted. If documents can be redacted, then a redacted

7 version for public viewing, omitting only the confidential, privileged, or

8

otherwise protectable portions of the document, shall be filed. Any

9

application that seeks to file documents under seal in their entirety

10

should include an explanation of why redaction is not feasible.

3. SCOPE

13

The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not

14

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

15

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

16

summaries, or compilations of Protected Material; and (3) any

17

18 testimony, conversations, or presentations by Parties or their Counsel

19 that might reveal Protected Material.

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

21 orders of the trial judge. This Stipulated Protective Order does not

22 govern the use of Protected Material at trial.

23

24 4. TRIAL AND DURATION

25

The terms of this Stipulated Protective Order apply through Final

26

Disposition of the Action.

27

1 CONFIDENTIAL or maintained pursuant to this Stipulated Protective

2 Order and used or introduced as an exhibit at trial becomes public and

3 will be presumptively available to all members of the public, including

4 the press, unless compelling reasons supported by specific factual

5 findings to proceed otherwise are made to the trial judge in advance of

6 the trial. See Kamakana, 447 F.3d at 1180–81 (distinguishing “good

7 cause” showing for sealing documents produced in discovery from

8

“compelling reasons” standard when merits-related documents are part

9

of court record). Accordingly, for such materials, the terms of this

10

Stipulated Protective Order do not extend beyond the commencement of

11

the trial.

12

Even after Final Disposition of this litigation, the confidentiality

13

obligations imposed by this Stipulated Protective Order shall remain in

14

effect until a Designating Party agrees otherwise in writing or a court

15

order otherwise directs.

16

17

5. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL

18

19 5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for

20 Protection. Each Party or Non-Party that designates information or

21 items for protection under this Order must take care to limit any such

22 designation to specific material that qualifies under the appropriate

23 standards. The Designating Party must designate for protection only

24 those parts of material, documents, items, or oral or written

25 communications that qualify so that other portions of the material,

26 documents, items, or communications for which protection is not

27

warranted are not swept unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order.

1 Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited.

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

3 made for an improper purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the case

4 development process or to impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on

5 other parties) may expose the Designating Party to sanctions.

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

7 items that it designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that

8

Designating Party must promptly notify all other Parties that it is

9

withdrawing the inapplicable designation.

10

5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise

11

provided in this Stipulated Protective Order (see, e.g., second paragraph

12

of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise stipulated or ordered, Disclosure

13

or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection under this Stipulated

14

Protective Order must be clearly so designated before the material is

15

disclosed or produced.

16

Designation in conformity with this Stipulated Protective Order

17

18 requires:

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

20 documents, but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or

21 trial proceedings), that the Producing Party affix at a minimum, the

22 legend “CONFIDENTIAL” to each page that contains protected

23 material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a page

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

25 the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the

26

margins).

27

A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents available for

1 inspection need not designate them for protection until after the

2 inspecting Party has indicated which documents it would like copied

3 and produced. During the inspection and before the designation, all of

4 the material made available for inspection shall be deemed

5 CONFIDENTIAL. After the inspecting Party has identified the

6 documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party must

7 determine which documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection

8

under this Stipulated Protective Order. Then, before producing the

9

specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the

10

“CONFIDENTIAL” legend to each page that contains Protected

11

Material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a page

12

qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify

13

the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the

14

margins).

15

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

16

identify the Disclosure or Discovery Material either on the record, or

17

within 30 days of the Designating Party’s receipt of the certified

18

transcript of the deposition from the court reporter preparing the

19

transcript.

20

(c) for information produced in some form other than

21

22 documentary and for any other tangible items, that the Producing Party

23 affix in a prominent place on the exterior of the container or containers

24 in which the information is stored the “CONFIDENTIAL” legend. If only

25 a portion or portions of the information warrants protection, the

26 Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the protected

27 portion(s).

1 5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an

2 inadvertent failure to designate qualified information or items does not,

3 standing alone, waive the Designating Party’s right to secure protection

4 under this Order for such material. Upon timely correction of a

5 designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable efforts to assure

6 that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this

7 Stipulated Protective Order.

8

9

6. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS

10

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

11

challenge a designation of confidentiality at any time that is consistent

12

with the court’s Scheduling Order.

13

6.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the

14

dispute resolution process under Local Rule 37.1 et seq. and with

15

Section 2 of Judge Christensen’s Civil Procedures titled “Brief Pre-

16

Discovery Motion Conference.”2

17

18 6.3 The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding

19 shall be on the Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those

20 made for an improper purpose (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary

21 expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Challenging

22 Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating Party has waived or

23 withdrawn the confidentiality designation, all parties shall continue to

24 afford the material in question the level of protection to which it is

25 entitled under the Producing Party’s designation until the court rules on

26

27

2 Judge Christensen’s Procedures are available at

1 the challenge.

2

3 7. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

4

7.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected

5

Material that is disclosed or produced by another Party or by a Non-

6

Party in connection with this Action only for prosecuting, defending, or

7

attempting to settle this Action. Such Protected Material may be

8

disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the conditions

9

described in this Order. When the Action reaches a Final Disposition, a

10

Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of section 13 below.

11

Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving

12

Party at a location and in a secure manner that ensures that access is

13

limited to the persons authorized under this Stipulated Protective

14

Order.

15

7.2 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items.

16

17 Unless otherwise ordered by the court or permitted in writing by the

18 Designating Party, a Receiving Party may disclose any information or

19 item designated “CONFIDENTIAL” only:

20 (a) to the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this

21 Action, as well as employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom

22 it is reasonably necessary to disclose the information for this Action;

23 (b) to the officers, directors, and employees (including House

24 Counsel) of the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably

25 necessary for this Action;

26

(c) to Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to

27

whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have

1 signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);

2 (d) to the court and its personnel;

3 (e) to court reporters and their staff;

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

5 Professional Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for

6 this Action and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement

7 to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);

8

(g) to the author or recipient of a document containing the

9

information or a custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or

10

knew the information;

11

(h) during their depositions, to witnesses, and attorneys for

12

witnesses, in the Action to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary,

13

provided: (1) the deposing party requests that the witness sign the

14

“Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); and (2) the

15

witness will not be permitted to keep any confidential information

16

unless they sign the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound”

17

(Exhibit A), unless otherwise agreed by the Designating Party or

18

ordered by the court. Pages of transcribed deposition testimony or

19

exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material may be separately

20

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

21

22 as permitted under this Stipulated Protective Order; and

23 (i) to any mediator or settlement officer, and their supporting

24 personnel, mutually agreed upon by any of the parties engaged in

25 settlement discussions.

26

27 8. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED

1 PRODUCED IN OTHER LITIGATION

2 If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in

3 other litigation that compels disclosure of any information or items

4

designated in this Action as “CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must:

5

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

6

notification shall include a copy of the subpoena or court order;

7

(b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the

8

subpoena or order to issue in the other litigation that some or all of the

9

material covered by the subpoena or order is subject to this Protective

10

Order. Such notification shall include a copy of this Stipulated

11

Protective Order; and

12

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

13

14 be pursued by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be

15 affected.

16 If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the

17 Party served with the subpoena or court order shall not produce any

18 information designated in this action as “CONFIDENTIAL” before a

19 determination by the court from which the subpoena or order issued,

20 unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s permission. The

21 Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking

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

23

provisions should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a

24

Receiving Party in this Action to disobey a lawful directive from another

25

court.

26

27

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

1 PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION

2 9.1 Application. The terms of this Stipulated Protective Order

3 are applicable to information produced by a Non-Party in this Action and

4 designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information produced by Non-

5 Parties in connection with this litigation is protected by the remedies

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

7 construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional

8

protections.

9

9.2 Notification. In the event that a Party is required, by a valid

10

discovery request, to produce a Non-Party’s confidential information in

11

its possession, and the Party is subject to an agreement with the Non-

12

Party not to produce the Non-Party’s confidential information, then the

13

Party shall:

14

(a) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the

15

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

16

confidentiality agreement with a Non-Party;

17

(b) make the information requested available for inspection by

18

the Non-Party, if requested.

19

9.3 Conditions of Production. If the Non-Party fails to seek a

20

protective order from this court within 14 days of receiving the notice

21

22 and accompanying information, the Receiving Party may produce the

23 Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the discovery request.

24 If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party

25 shall not produce any information in its possession or control that is

26 subject to the confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a

27 determination by the court. Absent a court order to the contrary, the

1 this court of its Protected Material.

2

3 10. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED

4 MATERIAL

5

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

6

has disclosed Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance

7

not authorized under this Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving

8

Party must immediately (a) notify in writing the Designating Party of

9

the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts to retrieve all

10

unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform the person or

11

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

12

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

13

“Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A).

14

15

16 11. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR

17 OTHERWISE PROTECTED MATERIAL

18

When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that

19

certain inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege

20

or other protection, the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set

21

forth in Rule 26(b)(5)(B) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. This

22

provision is not intended to modify whatever procedure may be

23

established in an e-discovery order that provides for production without

24

prior privilege review. Pursuant to Rules 502(d) and (e) of the Federal

25

Rules of Evidence, insofar as the parties reach an agreement on the

26

effect of disclosure of a communication or information covered by the

27

1 incorporate their agreement in the stipulated protective order

2 submitted to the court.

3

4 12. MISCELLANEOUS

5

12.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Stipulated

6

Protective Order abridges the right of any person to seek its

7

modification by the court in the future.

8

12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry

9

of this Stipulated Protective Order no Party waives any right it

10

otherwise would have to object to disclosing or producing any

11

information or item on any ground not addressed in this Stipulated

12

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

13

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

14

Stipulated Protective Order.

15

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

16

17 seal any Protected Material must comply with Local Rule 79-5.

18 Protected Material may only be filed under seal pursuant to a court

19 order authorizing the sealing of the specific Protected Material at issue.

20 If a Party's request to file Protected Material under seal is denied by the

21 court, then the Receiving Party may file the information in the public

22 record unless otherwise instructed by the court.

23

24 13. FINAL DISPOSITION

25 Within 60 days of the Final Disposition of this Action, as defined

26

in paragraph 4, each Receiving Party must return all Protected

27

Material to the Producing Party or destroy such material. As used in

1 this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts,

2 compilations, summaries, and any other format reproducing or

3 capturing any of the Protected Material. Whether the Protected

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

5 written certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the same person

6 or entity, to the Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that (1)

7 identifies (by category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material

8

that was returned or destroyed and (2) affirms that the Receiving Party

9

has not retained any copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or any

10

other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material.

11

Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel is entitled to retain an archival

12

copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition, and hearing

13

transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition and trial

14

exhibits, expert reports, attorney work product, and consultant and

15

expert work product, even if such materials contain Protected Material.

16

Any such archival copies that contain or constitute Protected Material

17

remain subject to this Protective Order as set forth in Section 4.

18

14. VIOLATION

19

Any violation of this Stipulated Protective Order may be punished

20

by any and all appropriate measures including, without limitation,

21

22 contempt proceedings and/or monetary sanctions.

case of __________ Nancy Lopez v. Transworld Systems Inc.,

9

United States District Court for the Central District of
