2 (“Plaintiff”) and Defendant Educational Credit Management Corporation

3 (“Defendant”) (collectively, the “Parties”) in the above-entitled action, Joshua Abhat

4 v. Educational Credit Management Corporation (Case No. 2:25-cv-01986-DAD-

5 JDP), by and through their respective counsel of record, for the purpose of jointly

6 requesting that the honorable Court enter a protective order regarding documents

7 which may be subject to confidentiality limitations due to federal laws, state laws,

8 and privacy rights, the Parties stipulate and agree as follows:

9 1. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS

10 Disclosure and discovery activity in this action are likely to involve

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

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

13 prosecuting this litigation would be warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby

14 stipulate to and petition the court to enter the following Stipulation and Order. The

15 parties acknowledge that this Stipulation and Order does not confer blanket

16 protections on all disclosures or responses to discovery and that the protection it

17 affords extends only to the limited information or items that are entitled, under the

18 applicable legal principles, to treatment as confidential. The parties further

19 acknowledge, as set forth below, that this Stipulation and Order creates no

20 entitlement to file confidential information under seal; Eastern District Local Rule

21 141 sets forth the procedures that must be followed and reflects the standards that

22 will be applied when a party seeks permission from the court to file material under

23 seal.

24 Nothing in this Stipulation and Order shall be construed so as to require or

25 mandate that any Party disclose or produce privileged information or records that

26 could be designated as Confidential Documents/Protected Material hereunder.

27 / / /

28 / / /

2 This action is likely to involve confidential and/or sensitive medical

3 information, trade secrets, customer lists, and other valuable research, development,

4 commercial, financial, technical and/or proprietary information for which special

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

6 prosecution of this action is warranted. Such confidential, sensitive, and/or

7 proprietary materials and information consist of, among other things, confidential

8 and/or sensitive medical information, confidential business or financial information,

9 information regarding confidential business practices, or other confidential research,

10 development, or commercial information (including information implicating privacy

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

20 Parties that information will not be designated as confidential for tactical reasons and

21 that nothing be so designated without a good faith belief that it has been maintained

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

23 part of the public record of this case.

24 3. DEFINITIONS

25 3.1 Action: the lawsuit pending before this Court entitled Joshua Abhat v.

26 Educational Credit Management Corporation (Case No. 2:25-cv-01986-DAD-JDP).

27 3.2 Challenging Party: a Party or Non-Party that challenges the designation

28 of information or items under this Order.

4 the Good Cause Statement.

5 3.4 Counsel (without qualifier): Outside Counsel of Record and House

6 Counsel (as well as their support staff).

7 3.5 Designating Party: a Party or Non-Party that designates information or

8 items that it produces in disclosures or in responses to discovery as

10 3.6 Disclosure or Discovery Material: all items or information, regardless of

11 the medium or manner in which it is generated, stored, or maintained (including,

12 among other things, testimony, transcripts, and tangible things), that are produced or

13 generated in disclosures or responses to discovery in this matter.

14 3.7 Expert: a person with specialized knowledge or experience in a matter

15 pertinent to the litigation who has been retained by a Party or its counsel to serve as

16 an expert witness or as a consultant in this Action.

17 3.8 House Counsel: attorneys who are employees of a party to this Action.

18 House Counsel does not include Outside Counsel of Record or any other outside

20 3.9 Non-Party: any natural person, partnership, corporation, association, or

21 other legal entity not named as a Party to this Action.

22 3.10 Outside Counsel of Record: attorneys who are not employees of a party

23 to this Action but are retained to represent or advise a party to this Action and have

24 appeared in this Action on behalf of that party or are affiliated with a law firm which

25 has appeared on behalf of that party.

26 3.11 Party: any party to this Action, including all of its officers, directors,

27 employees, consultants, retained experts, and Outside Counsel of Record (and their

28 support staffs).

6 and their employees and subcontractors.

7 3.14 Protected Material: any Disclosure or Discovery Material that is

8 designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.”

9 3.15 Receiving Party: a Party that receives Disclosure or Discovery Material

10 from a Producing Party.

11 4. SCOPE

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

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

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

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

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

17 However, the protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order do not cover

18 the following information: (a) any information that is in the public domain at the

19 time of disclosure to a Receiving Party or becomes part of the public domain after its

20 disclosure to a Receiving Party as a result of publication not involving a violation of

21 this Order, including becoming part of the public record through trial or otherwise;

22 and (b) any information known to the Receiving Party prior to the disclosure or

23 obtained by the Receiving Party after the disclosure from a source who obtained the

24 information lawfully and under no obligation of confidentiality to the Designating

25 Party. Any use of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by a separate

26 agreement or order.

27 ///

28 ///

2 Once a case proceeds to final disposition, information that was designated as

3 CONFIDENTIAL or maintained pursuant to this protective order used or introduced

4 as an exhibit at trial becomes public and will be presumptively available to all

5 members of the public, including the press, unless compelling reasons supported by

6 specific factual findings to proceed otherwise are made to the trial judge in advance

7 of the trial. See Kamakana, 447 F.3d at 1180-81 (distinguishing “good cause”

8 showing for sealing documents produced in discovery from “compelling reasons”

9 standard when merits-related documents are part of court record). Final disposition

10 shall be deemed to be the later of (1) dismissal of all claims and defenses in this

11 Action, with or without prejudice; and (2) final judgment herein after the completion

12 and exhaustion of all appeals, rehearings, remands, trials, or reviews of this Action,

13 including the time limits for filing any motions or applications for extension of time

14 pursuant to applicable law. Accordingly, the terms of this protective order do not

15 extend beyond the commencement of the trial.

16 6. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL

17 6.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection.

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

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

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

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

22 communications that qualify – so that other portions of the material, documents,

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

24 unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order.

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

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

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

28

2 Designating Party to sanctions.

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

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

5 promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the mistaken designation.

6 6.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in

7 this Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 6.2(a) below), or as otherwise

8 stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection

9 under this Order must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or

10 produced.

11 Designation in conformity with this Order requires:

12 (a) For information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic

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

14 proceedings), that the Producing Party affix the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” to each

15 page that contains protected material. If only a portion or portions of the material on

16 a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the

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

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

19 inspection need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has

20 indicated which material it would like copied and produced. During the inspection

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

22 deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has identified the documents

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

24 or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order. Then, before producing

25 the specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the “CONFIDENTIAL”

26 legend to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a portion or portions of

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

28

2 margins).

3 (b) for testimony given in deposition or in other pretrial or trial

4 proceedings, that the Designating Party identify the Disclosure or Discovery Material

5 on the record, before the close of the deposition, hearing, or other proceeding, all

6 protected testimony.

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

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

9 exterior of the container or containers in which the information or item is stored the

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

11 warrant protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the

12 protected portion(s).

13 6.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent

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

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

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

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

18 Order.

19 7. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS

20 7.1 Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a

21 designation of confidentiality at any time consistent with the Court’s Scheduling

22 Order. Unless a prompt challenge to a Designating Party’s confidentiality

23 designation is necessary to avoid foreseeable, substantial unfairness, unnecessary

24 economic burdens, or a significant disruption or delay of the litigation, a Party does

25 not waive its right to challenge a confidentiality designation by electing not to mount

26 a challenge promptly after the original designation is disclosed.

27 / / /

28 / / /

2 resolution process by providing written notice of each designation it is challenging

3 and describing the basis for each challenge. To avoid ambiguity as to whether a

4 challenge has been made, the written notice must recite that the challenge to

5 confidentiality is being made in accordance with this specific paragraph of the

6 Protective Order. The parties shall attempt to resolve each challenge in good faith

7 and must begin the process by conferring directly (in voice to voice dialogue; other

8 forms of communication are not sufficient) within 14 days of the date of service of

9 notice. In conferring, the Challenging Party must explain the basis for its belief that

10 the confidentiality designation was not proper and must give the Designating Party

11 an opportunity to review the designated material, to reconsider the circumstances,

12 and, if no change in designation is offered, to explain the basis for the chosen

13 designation. A Challenging Party may proceed to the next stage of the challenge

14 process only if it has engaged in this meet and confer process first or establishes that

15 the Designating Party is unwilling to participate in the meet and confer process in a

16 timely manner.

17 7.3 Judicial Intervention. If the Parties cannot resolve a challenge without

18 court intervention, the Parties shall file a Joint Statement re Discovery Disagreement

19 pursuant to Civil Local Rule 251(c).

20 The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on the

21 Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper purpose

22 (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may

23 expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. All parties shall continue to afford the

24 material in question the level of protection to which it is entitled under the Producing

25 Party’s designation until the court rules on the challenge.

26 / / /

27 / / /

28 / / /

2 8.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is

3 disclosed or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this

4 case only for prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this litigation. Such

5 Protected Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the

6 conditions described in this Order. When the litigation has been terminated, a

7 Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of section 13 below (FINAL

8 DISPOSITION).

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

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

11 authorized under this Order.

12 8.2 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless otherwise

13 ordered by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a Receiving

14 Party may disclose any information or item designated “CONFIDENTIAL” only to:

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

16 as employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably necessary

17 to disclose the information for this litigation;

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

19 Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation;

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

21 disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the

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

23 (d) the court and its personnel;

24 (e) court reporters and their staff, professional jury or trial consultants,

25 mock jurors, and Professional Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary

26 for this litigation and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be

27 Bound” (Exhibit A);

28

2 reasonably necessary and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to

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

4 by the court. Pages of transcribed deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that

5 reveal Protected Material must be separately bound by the court reporter and may not

6 be disclosed to anyone except as permitted under this Stipulated Protective Order;

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

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

9 (h) any mediators or settlement officers and their supporting personnel,

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

11 9. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED

12 IN OTHER LITIGATION

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

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

15 “CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must:

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

17 include a copy of the subpoena or court order;

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

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

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

21 a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order; and

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

23 by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.

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

25 the subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this

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

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

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

2 should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this action to

3 disobey a lawful directive from another court.

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

5 PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION

6 (a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a

7 Non-Party in this action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information

8 produced by Non-Parties in connection with this litigation is protected by the

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

10 construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional protections.

11 (b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to

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

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

14 confidential information, then the Party shall:

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

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

17 agreement with a Non-Party;

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

19 Protective Order in this litigation, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably

20 specific description of the information requested; and

21 (3) make the information requested available for inspection by the

22 Non-Party.

23 (c) If the Non-Party fails to object or seek a protective order from this court

24 within 14 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving

25 Party may produce the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the

26 discovery request. If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving

27 Party shall not produce any information in its possession or control that is subject to

28 the confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a determination by the

2 expense of seeking protection in this court of its Protected Material.

3 11. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

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

5 Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this

6 Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in

7 writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts

8 to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform the person or

9 persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this Order,

10 and (d) request such person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment and

11 Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

12 12. 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 protection,

16 the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil

17 Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify whatever procedure

18 may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for production without prior

19 privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) and (e), insofar as the

20 parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure of a communication or

21 information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work product protection, the

22 parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated protective order submitted

23 to the court.

24 13. MISCELLANEOUS

25 13.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any

26 person to seek its modification by the court in the future.

27 / / /

28 / / /

2 Protective Order no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to

3 disclosing or producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in this

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

5 ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective Order.

6 13.3 Filing Protected Material. Without written permission from the

7 Designating Party or a court order secured after appropriate notice to all interested

8 persons, a Party may not file in the public record in this action any Protected

9 Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any Protected Material must comply

10 with Civil Local Rule 141. Protected Material may only be filed under seal pursuant

11 to a court order authorizing the sealing of the specific Protected Material at issue. If a

12 Receiving Party's request to file Protected Material under seal pursuant to Civil

13 Local Rule 141 is denied by the court, then the Receiving Party may file the

14 information in the public record pursuant to Civil Local Rule 141 unless otherwise

15 instructed by the court.

16 13. FINAL DISPOSITION

17 Within 60 days after the final disposition of this Action, as defined in

18 paragraph 5, each Receiving Party must return all Protected Material to the

19 Producing Party or destroy such material. As used in this subdivision, “all Protected

20 Material” includes all copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries, and any other

21 format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material. Whether the

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

23 written certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the same person or entity, to

24 the Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that (1) identifies (by category, where

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

26 that the Receiving Party has not retained any copies, abstracts, compilations,

27 summaries or any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected

28 Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are entitled to retain an archival

2 memoranda, correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert reports, attorney

3 work product, and consultant and expert work product, even if such materials contain

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

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

6 (DURATION).

7 14. VIOLATION

8 Any violation of this Order may be punished by appropriate measures

9 including, without limitation, contempt proceedings and/or monetary sanctions.

10 IT IS SO STIPULATED, THROUGH COUNSEL OF RECORD.
