order provided under Magistrate Judge Diana M. Kwok’s Procedures as of March

1 1. INTRODUCTION

2 1.1 Purposes and Limitations. Discovery in this action is likely to involve

3 production of confidential, proprietary, or private information for which special

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

5 prosecuting this litigation may be warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby

6 stipulate to and petition the court to enter the following Stipulated Protective Order.

7 The parties acknowledge that this Order does not confer blanket protections on all

8 disclosures or responses to discovery and that the protection it affords from public

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

10 to confidential treatment under the applicable legal principles.

11 1.2 Good Cause Statement. This action is likely to involve trade secrets,

12 customer and pricing lists and other valuable research, development, 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

15 is warranted. Such confidential and proprietary materials and information consist

16 of, among other things, confidential business or financial information, information

17 regarding confidential business practices, or other confidential research,

18 development, or commercial information (including information implicating privacy

19 rights of third parties), information otherwise generally unavailable to the public, or

20 which may be privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure under state or

21 federal statutes, court rules, case decisions, or common law. Accordingly, to

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

23 confidentiality of discovery materials, to adequately protect information the parties

24 are entitled to keep confidential, to ensure that the parties are permitted reasonable

25 necessary uses of such material in preparation for and in the conduct of trial, to

26 address their handling at the end of the litigation, and serve the ends of justice, a

27 protective order for such information is justified in this matter. It is the intent of the

28 parties that information will not be designated as confidential for tactical reasons

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

2 maintained in a confidential, non-public manner, and there is good cause why it

3 should not be part of the public record of this case.

4 1.3 Acknowledgment of Procedure for Filing Under Seal. The parties

5 further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 12.3, below, that this Stipulated

6 Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential information under seal;

7 Local Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be followed and the standards

8 that will be applied when a party seeks permission from the court to file material

9 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

13 and Cnty. of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1176 (9th Cir. 2006), Phillips ex rel. Ests. of

14 Byrd v. Gen. Motors Corp., 307 F.3d 1206, 1210–11 (9th Cir. 2002), Makar-

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

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

17 cause or compelling reasons with proper evidentiary support and legal justification,

18 must be made with respect to Protected Material that a party seeks to file under

19 seal. The parties’ mere designation of Disclosure or Discovery Material as

20 CONFIDENTIAL does not—without the submission of competent evidence by

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

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

23 Further, if a party requests sealing related to a dispositive motion or trial,

24 then compelling reasons, not only good cause, for the sealing must be shown, and

25 the relief sought shall be narrowly tailored to serve the specific interest to be

26 protected. See Pintos v. Pac. Creditors Ass’n, 605 F.3d 665, 677–79 (9th Cir.

27 2010). For each item or type of information, document, or thing sought to be filed

28 or introduced under seal in connection with a dispositive motion or trial, the party

1 seeking protection must articulate compelling reasons, supported by specific facts

2 and legal justification, for the requested sealing order. Again, competent evidence

3 supporting the application to file documents under seal must be provided by

4 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.

7 If documents can be redacted, then a redacted version for public viewing, omitting

8 only the confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable portions of the document,

9 shall be filed. Any application that seeks to file documents under seal in their

10 entirety should include an explanation of why redaction is not feasible.

11

25 2.6 Disclosure or Discovery Material: all items or information,

1 discovery in this matter.

2 2.7 Expert: a person with specialized knowledge or experience in a

3 matter pertinent to the litigation who has been retained by a Party or its

6 3. SCOPE

7 The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only

8 Protected Material (as defined above), but also (1) any information copied or

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

10 compilations of Protected Material; and (3) any testimony, conversations, or

11 presentations by Parties or their Counsel that might reveal Protected Material.

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

13 trial judge. This Stipulated Protective Order does not govern the use of Protected

14 Material at trial.

15

16 4. TRIAL AND DURATION

17 The terms of this Stipulated Protective Order apply through Final Disposition

18 of the Action.

19 Once a case proceeds to trial, information that was designated as

20 CONFIDENTIAL or maintained pursuant to this Stipulated Protective Order and

21 used or introduced as an exhibit at trial becomes public and will be presumptively

22 available to all members of the public, including the press, unless compelling

23 reasons supported by specific factual findings to proceed otherwise are made to the

24 trial judge in advance of the trial. See Kamakana, 447 F.3d at 1180–81

25 (distinguishing “good cause” showing for sealing documents produced in discovery

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

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

28 Protective Order do not extend beyond the commencement of the trial.

1 Even after Final Disposition of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations

2 imposed by this Stipulated Protective Order shall remain in effect until a

3 Designating Party agrees otherwise in writing or a court order otherwise directs.

4

5 5. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL

6 5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection.

7 Each Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under

8 this Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that

9 qualifies under the appropriate standards. The Designating Party must designate for

10 protection only those parts of material, documents, items, or oral or written

11 communications that qualify so that other portions of the material, documents,

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

13 unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order.

14 Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations

15 that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper

16 purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the case development process or to

17 impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the

18 Designating Party to sanctions.

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

20 designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must

21 promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the inapplicable designation.

22 5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in

23 this Stipulated Protective Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a)

24 below), or as otherwise stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that

25 qualifies for protection under this Stipulated Protective Order must be clearly so

26 designated before the material is disclosed or produced.

27 Designation in conformity with this Stipulated Protective Order requires:

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

1 documents, but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial

2 proceedings), that the Producing Party affix at a minimum, the legend

3 “CONFIDENTIAL” to each page that contains protected material. If only a

4 portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing

5 Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making

6 appropriate markings in the margins).

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

8 need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated

9 which documents it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and

10 before the designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be

11 deemed CONFIDENTIAL. After the inspecting Party has identified the documents

12 it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine which

13 documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Stipulated

14 Protective Order. Then, before producing the specified documents, the Producing

15 Party must affix the “CONFIDENTIAL” legend to each page that contains

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

17 for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected

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

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

20 the Disclosure or Discovery Material on the record before the close of the

21 deposition or within 7 days of the Designating Party’s receipt of the final transcript.

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

23 for any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on

24 the exterior of the container or containers in which the information is stored the

25 “CONFIDENTIAL” legend. If only a portion or portions of the information

26 warrants protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the

27 protected portion(s).

28 5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent

1 failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive

2 the Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such material.

3 Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable

4 efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this

5 Stipulated Protective Order.

6

7 6. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS

8 6.1 Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a

9 designation of confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the court’s

10 Scheduling Order.

11 6.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the

12 dispute resolution process under Local Rule 37.1 et seq.

13 6.3 The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding

14 shall be on the Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for

15 an improper purpose (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and

16 burdens on other parties) may expose the Challenging Party to sanctions.

17 Unless the Designating Party has waived or withdrawn the confidentiality

18 designation, all parties shall continue to afford the material in question the

19 level of protection to which it is entitled under the Producing Party’s

20 designation until the court rules on the challenge.

21

22 7. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

23 7.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected

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

25 connection with this Action only for prosecuting, defending, or attempting

26 to settle this Action. Such Protected Material may be disclosed only to the

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

28 When the Action reaches a Final Disposition, a Receiving Party must

1 comply with the provisions of section 13 below.

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

3 location and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons

4 authorized under this Stipulated Protective Order.

5 7.2 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items.

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

7 Designating Party, a Receiving Party may disclose any information or item

8 designated “CONFIDENTIAL” only:

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

10 well as employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably

11 necessary to disclose the information for this Action;

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

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

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

15 disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed the

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

17 (d) to the court and its personnel;

18 (e) to court reporters and their staff;

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

20 Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have

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

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

23 a custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information;

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

25 the Action to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary, provided: (1) the deposing

26 party requests that the witness sign the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be

27 Bound” (Exhibit A); and (2) the witness will not be permitted to keep any

28 confidential information unless they sign the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to

1 Be Bound” (Exhibit A), unless otherwise agreed by the Designating Party or

2 ordered by the court. Pages of transcribed deposition testimony or exhibits to

3 depositions that reveal Protected Material may be separately bound by the court

4 reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone except as permitted under this

5 Stipulated Protective Order; and

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

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

8

9 8. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED

10 PRODUCED IN OTHER LITIGATION

11 If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation

12 that compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this Action as

13 “CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must:

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

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

16 (b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order

17 to issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the

18 subpoena or order is subject to this Protective Order. Such notification shall include

19 a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order; and

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

21 pursued by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.

22 If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served

23 with the subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in

24 this action as “CONFIDENTIAL” before a determination by the court from which

25 the subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s

26 permission. The Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking

27 protection in that court of its confidential material and nothing in these provisions

28 should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this Action

1 to disobey a lawful directive from another court.

2

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

4 PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION

5 9.1 Application. The terms of this Stipulated Protective Order are

6 applicable to information produced by a Non-Party in this Action and designated as

7 “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information produced by Non-Parties in connection with

8 this litigation is protected by the remedies and relief provided by this Order.

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

10 seeking additional protections.

11 9.2 Notification. In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery

12 request, to produce a Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the

13 Party is subject to an agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-

14 Party’s confidential information, then the Party shall:

15 (a) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party

16 that some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality

17 agreement with a Non-Party;

18 (b) make the information requested available for inspection by the Non-

19 Party, if requested.

20 9.3 Conditions of Production. If the Non-Party fails to seek a protective

21 order from this court within 14 days of receiving the notice and accompanying

22 information, the Receiving Party may produce the Non-Party’s confidential

23 information responsive to the discovery request. If the Non-Party timely seeks a

24 protective order, the Receiving Party shall not produce any information in its

25 possession or control that is subject to the confidentiality agreement with the Non-

26 Party before a determination by the court. Absent a court order to the contrary, the

27 Non-Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in this court of its

28 Protected Material.

1

2 10. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

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

4 disclosed Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized

5 under this Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a)

6 notify in writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its

7 best efforts to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform

8 the person or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms

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

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

11

12 11. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE

13 PROTECTED MATERIAL

14 When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain

15 inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other

16 protection, the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Rule

17 26(b)(5)(B) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. This provision is not intended

18 to modify whatever procedure may be established in an e-discovery order that

19 provides for production without prior privilege review. Pursuant to Rules 502(d)

20 and (e) of the Federal Rules of Evidence, insofar as the parties reach an agreement

21 on the effect of disclosure of a communication or information covered by the

22 attorney-client privilege or work product protection, the parties may incorporate

23 their agreement in the stipulated protective order submitted to the court.

24

25 12. MISCELLANEOUS

26 12.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Stipulated Protective

27 Order abridges the right of any person to seek its modification by the court

28 in the future.

1 12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of

2 this Stipulated Protective Order no Party waives any right it otherwise

3 would have to object to disclosing or producing any information or item on

4 any ground not addressed in this Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no

5 Party waives any right to object on any ground to use in evidence of any of

6 the material covered by this Stipulated Protective Order.

7 12.3 Filing Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal

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

9 Material may only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing

10 the sealing of the specific Protected Material at issue. If a Party's request to

11 file Protected Material under seal is denied by the court, then the Receiving

12 Party may file the information in the public record unless otherwise

13 instructed by the court.

14

15 13. FINAL DISPOSITION

16 After the Final Disposition of this Action, as defined in paragraph 4, within

17 60 days of a written request by the Designating Party, each Receiving Party must

18 return all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such material. As

19 used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts,

20 compilations, summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the

21 Protected Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the

22 Receiving Party must submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if

23 not the same person or entity, to the Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that

24 (1) identifies (by category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was

25 returned or destroyed and (2) affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any

26 copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or

27 capturing any of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel is

28 entitled to retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition,

1 | and hearing transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition and trial

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

3 | product, even if such materials contain Protected Material. Any such archival

4 | copies that contain or constitute Protected Material remain subject to this Protective

5 | Order as set forth in Section 4.

6/14. VIOLATION

7 Any violation of this Stipulated Protective Order may be punished by any

8 | and all appropriate measures including, without limitation, contempt proceedings

9 | and/or monetary sanctions.
