11 Plaintiff, ORDER REGARDING STIPULATED

PROTECTIVE ORDER

12 v.

(ECF No. 10)

13 CARDINAL HEALTH 110, LLC, et al.,

14 Defendants.

15

16 TO ALL PARTIES AND THIS HONORABLE COURT:

17 Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c)(1)(g) and Local Rules 137(b), 140(b),

18 141.1, and 143, Plaintiff CHRISTIANA BORBOA and Defendants CARDINAL HEALTH 110,

19 LLC and GREGORY AUSTIN hereby jointly stipulate and move the Court for entry of the

20 below Protective Order, which will also be emailed to saborders@caed.uscourts.gov pursuant to

21 the Court’s Chambers Information. Good cause exists to enter the Proposed Order because

22 discoverable documents and materials may include confidential, private, and/or privileged

23 information.

24 EASTERN DISTRICT LOCAL RULE 141.1(c) COMPLIANCE

25 Information eligible for protection under the proposed Non-Trial Civil Protective Order

26 (“Order”), and the particularized need for the same, are described in Paragraph 1 of the Order.

27 The varied nature of discoverable documents, which include but are not limited to commercially

sensitive, proprietary, non-public information; Plaintiff’s personnel and pay information; and

1 information implicating third-party privacy interests protected by the California and U.S.

2 Constitutions and/or applicable federal and California statutory and decisional authorities renders

3 any private agreement inadequate and private enforcement unduly burdensome and ineffective

4 under California law. Potential damages from any private agreement breach could significantly

5 vary depending on the records disclosed, privacy rights implicated, and third-partes impacted.

6 This variance may render a liquidated damages provision included in such a private agreement

7 an unenforceable unlawful penalty, ultimately requiring the Parties to any such agreement to

8 individually litigate the consequential damages of every breach. See Cal. Civ. Code § 1671(b);

9 Ridgley v. Topa Thrify & Loan Assoc. (1998) 17 Cal.4th 970, 976-78. Enforcement of

10 confidentiality protections by Court Order implicates the professional responsibility of counsel

11 for all Parties and provides a bulwark against unauthorized disclosure that cannot be adequately

12 ameliorated by threat of civil litigation and monetary damages alone.

13 PROTECTIVE ORDER

14 1. GENERAL

15 1.1 Purposes and Limitations. Discovery in this action is likely to involve production

16 of confidential, proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public

17 disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may be warranted.

18 Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to enter the following

19 Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this Order does not confer blanket

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

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

22 confidential treatment under the applicable legal principles.

23 1.2 Good Cause Statement.

24 This action is likely to involve trade secrets, customer and pricing lists and other valuable

25 research, development, commercial, financial, technical and/or proprietary information for which

26 special protection from public disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecution of

27 this action is warranted. In addition, this action is likely to involve Plaintiff’s personnel and pay

1 and U.S. Constitutions and/or applicable federal and California statutory and decisional

2 authorities. Such confidential and proprietary materials and information consist of, among other

3 things, confidential business or financial information, information regarding confidential

4 business practices, or other confidential research, development, or commercial information

5 (including information implicating privacy rights of third parties), information otherwise

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

7 disclosure under state or federal statutes, court rules, case decisions, or common law.

8 Accordingly, to expedite the flow of information, to facilitate the prompt resolution of disputes

9 over confidentiality of discovery materials, to adequately protect information the parties are

10 entitled to keep confidential, to ensure that the parties are permitted reasonable necessary uses of

11 such material in preparation for and in the conduct of trial, to address their handling at the end of

12 the litigation, and serve the ends of justice, a protective order for such information is justified in

13 this matter. It is the intent of the parties that information will not be designated as confidential

14 for tactical reasons and that nothing be so designated without a good faith belief that it has been

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

16 part of the public record of this case.

17 2. DEFINITIONS

18 2.1 Action: this pending federal lawsuit, Case No. 1:25-CV-01461-JLT-SAB.

19 2.2 Challenging Party: a Party or Non-Party that challenges the designation of

20 information or items under this Order.

21 2.3 “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items: information (regardless of how it is

23 of Civil Procedure 26(c), and as specified above in the Good Cause Statement.

24 2.4 Counsel: Outside Counsel of Record and House Counsel (as well as their support

25 staff).

26 2.5 Designating Party: a Party or Non-Party that designates information or items that

27 it produces in disclosures or in responses to discovery as “CONFIDENTIAL.”

1 2.6 Disclosure or Discovery Material: all items or information, regardless of the

2 medium or manner in which it is generated, stored, or maintained (including, among other things,

3 testimony, transcripts, and tangible things), that are produced or generated in disclosures or

4 responses to discovery in this matter.

5 2.7 Expert: a person with specialized knowledge or experience in a matter pertinent

6 to the litigation who has been retained by a Party or its counsel to serve as an expert witness or as

9 Counsel does not include Outside Counsel of Record or any other outside counsel.

10 2.9 Non-Party: any natural person, partnership, corporation, association, or other

11 legal entity not named as a Party to this action.

13 Action but are retained to represent or advise a party to this Action and have appeared in this

15 party, including support staff.

16 2.11 Party: any party to this Action, including all of its officers, directors, employees,

17 consultants, retained experts, and Outside Counsel of Record (and their support staffs).

18 2.12 Producing Party: a Party or Non-Party that produces Disclosure or Discovery

19 Material in this Action.

20 2.13 Professional Vendors: persons or entities that provide litigation support services

21 (e.g., photocopying, videotaping, translating, preparing exhibits or demonstrations, and

22 organizing, storing, or retrieving data in any form or medium) and their employees and

23 subcontractors.

24 2.14 Protected Material: any Disclosure or Discovery Material that is designated as

25 “CONFIDENTIAL.”

26 2.15 Receiving Party: a Party that receives Disclosure or Discovery Material from a

27 Producing Party.

1 3. SCOPE

2 The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only Protected Material

3 (as defined above), but also (1) any information copied or extracted from Protected Material; (2)

4 all copies, excerpts, summaries, or compilations of Protected Material; and (3) any testimony,

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

6 Any use of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by the orders of the trial judge.

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

8 4. DURATION

9 Once a case proceeds to trial, all of the court-filed information to be introduced that was

10 previously designated as confidential or maintained pursuant to this protective order becomes

11 public and will be presumptively available to all members of the public, including the press,

12 unless compelling reasons supported by specific factual findings to proceed otherwise are made

13 to the trial judge in advance of the trial. See Kamakana v. City and Cty. of Honolulu, 447 F.3d

14 1172, 1180-81 (9th Cir. 2006) (distinguishing “good cause” showing for sealing documents

15 produced in discovery from “compelling reasons” standard when merits-related documents are

16 part of court record). Accordingly, the terms of this protective order do not extend beyond the

17 commencement of the trial.

18 5. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL

19 5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection. Each Party

20 or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under this Order must take care

21 to limit any such designation to specific material that qualifies under the appropriate standards.

22 The Designating Party must designate for protection only those parts of material, documents,

23 items, or oral or written communications that qualify so that other portions of the material,

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

25 unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order.

26 Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations that are

27 shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper purpose (e.g., to

1 unnecessarily encumber the case development process or to impose unnecessary expenses and

2 burdens on other parties) may expose the Designating Party to sanctions.

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

4 for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must promptly notify all other

5 Parties that it is withdrawing the inapplicable designation.

6 5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in this Order

7 (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise stipulated or ordered,

8 Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection under this Order must be clearly so

9 designated before the material is disclosed or produced.

10 Designation in conformity with this Order requires:

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

12 excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that the Producing

13 Party affix, at a minimum, the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” (hereinafter “CONFIDENTIAL

14 legend”), to each page that contains protected material. If only a portion or portions of the

15 material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the

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

17 A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents available for inspection need not

18 designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated which documents it

19 would like copied and produced. During the inspection and before the designation, all of the

20 material made available for inspection shall be deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the

21 inspecting Party has identified the documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party

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

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

24 “CONFIDENTIAL legend” to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a portion or

25 portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly

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

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

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

2 other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the exterior of the

3 container or containers in which the information is stored the legend “CONFIDENTIAL.” If

4 only a portion or portions of the information warrants protection, the Producing Party, to the

5 extent practicable, shall identify the protected portion(s).

6 5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent failure to

7 designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive the Designating Party’s

8 right to secure protection under this Order for such material. Upon timely correction of a

9 designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable efforts to assure that the material is

10 treated in accordance with the provisions of this Order.

11 6. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS

12 6.1 Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a designation of

13 confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the Court’s Scheduling Order.

14 6.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute resolution

15 process. Any discovery motion must comply with local rules.

16 6.3 Burden. The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on

17 the Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper purpose (e.g., to

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

19 Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating Party has waived or withdrawn the

20 confidentiality designation, all parties shall continue to afford the material in question the level

21 of protection to which it is entitled under the Producing Party’s designation until the Court rules

22 on the challenge.

23 7. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

24 7.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is disclosed

25 or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this Action only for

26 prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this Action. Such Protected Material may be

27 disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the conditions described in this Order.

1 When the Action has been terminated, a Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of

2 section 13 below (FINAL DISPOSITION).

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

4 in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons authorized under this Order.

5 7.2 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless otherwise

6 ordered by the Court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a Receiving Party may

7 disclose any information or item designated “CONFIDENTIAL” only to:

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

9 employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably necessary to disclose the

10 information for this Action;

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

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

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

14 is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and

15 Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);

16 (d) the Court and its personnel;

17 (e) court reporters and their staff;

18 (f) professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, and Professional Vendors

19 to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed the

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

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

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

23 (h) during their depositions, witnesses, and attorneys for witnesses, in the Action

24 to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary provided: (1) the deposing party requests that the

25 witness sign the form attached as Exhibit A hereto; and (2) they will not be permitted to keep any

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

27 (Exhibit A), unless otherwise agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the Court. Pages of

1 separately bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone except as permitted

2 under this Stipulated Protective Order; and

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

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

5 8. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN

6 OTHER LITIGATION

7 If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation that compels

8 disclosure of any information or items designated in this Action as “CONFIDENTIAL,” that

9 Party must:

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

11 copy of the subpoena or court order;

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

13 other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the subpoena or order is subject to this

14 Protective Order. Such notification shall include a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order; and

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

16 Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.

17 If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with the

18 subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this action as

19 “CONFIDENTIAL” before a determination by the court from which the subpoena or order

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

21 shall bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in that court of its confidential material

22 and nothing in these provisions should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving

23 Party in this Action to disobey a lawful directive from another court.

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

25 THIS LITIGATION

26 (a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a Non-Party in this

27 Action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information produced by Non-Parties in

1 Nothing in these provisions should be construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking

2 additional protections.

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

4 Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is subject to an agreement with

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

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

7 or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality agreement with a Non-Party;

8 (2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated Protective

9 Order in this Action, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably specific description of

10 the information requested; and

11 (3) make the information requested available for inspection by the Non-Party, if

12 requested.

13 (c) If the Non-Party fails to seek a protective order from this Court within 14 days of

14 receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party may produce the Non-

15 Party’s confidential information responsive to the discovery request. If the Non-Party timely

16 seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall not produce any information in its possession

17 or control that is subject to the confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a

18 determination by the Court. Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the

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

20 10. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

21 If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed Protected

22 Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this Stipulated Protective

23 Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in writing the Designating Party of the

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

25 Protected Material, (c) inform the person or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were

26 made of all the terms of this Order, and (d) request such person or persons to execute the

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

1 11. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE

2 PROTECTED MATERIAL

3 When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain inadvertently

4 produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection, the obligations of the

5 Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This

6 provision is not intended to modify whatever procedure may be established in an e-discovery

7 order that provides for production without prior privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of

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

9 communication or information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work product

10 protection, the parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated protective order

11 submitted to the Court.

12 12. MISCELLANEOUS

13 12.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any person to

14 seek its modification by the Court in the future.

15 12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this Protective

16 Order, no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to disclosing or producing

17 any information or item on any ground not addressed in this Stipulated Protective Order.

18 Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on any ground to use in evidence of any of the

19 material covered by this Protective Order.

20 12.3 Use of AI Tools. Protected Material, and all information derived therefrom, shall

21 not be submitted to any open or publicly accessible Large Language Model (“LLM”) or

22 Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) tool (collectively, “AI Tools”), including ChatGPT; Claude;

23 Gemini; or any substantially similar tool. Protected Material may only be submitted to an AI

24 Tool that is maintained in a private single tenant or behind a firewall (“Closed AI Tool”) if the

25 Receiving Party ensures that: (1) the Protected Material and all information generated by the

26 Closed AI Tool, including residual information stored in the Closed AI Tool as a result of the

27 submission of the Protected Material may be, and is, deleted from the Closed AI Tool at the

1 safeguards and is not accessible by anyone outside the boundaries of this Protective Order; and

2 (3) Protected Materials are not used to train, finetune, or otherwise modify any AI Tools or

3 models. Providing Protected Material to an open or publicly accessible AI Tool is considered

4 unauthorized disclosure to a third party.

5 13. FINAL DISPOSITION

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

7 Designating Party, each Receiving Party must return all Protected Material to the Producing

8 Party or destroy such material. As used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all

9 copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of

10 the Protected Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the Receiving

11 Party must submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the same person or

12 entity, to the Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that (1) identifies (by category, where

13 appropriate) all the Protected Material that was returned or destroyed, and (2) affirms that the

14 Receiving Party has not retained any copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other

15 format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision,

16 counsel are entitled to retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition,

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

18 reports, attorney work product, and consultant and expert work product, even if such materials

19 contain Protected Material. Any such archival copies that contain or constitute Protected

20 Material remain subject to this Protective Order as set forth in Section 4 (DURATION).
