Defendants PROTECTIVE ORDER 27 1 2 1. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS 3 Discovery in this action is likely to involve production of confidential, proprietary, 4 or private information for which special protection from public disclosure and from 5 use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation. may be warranted. 6 Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to enter the 7 following Amended Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this 8 Order does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to discovery 9 and that the protection it affords from public disclosure and use extends only to the 10 limited information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment under the 11 applicable legal principles. The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 12 12.3, below, that this Amended Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to 13 file confidential information under seal; Civil Local Rule 79-5 sets forth the 14 procedures that must be followed and the standards that will be applied when a party 15 seeks permission from the court to file material under seal. 16 1.1 GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT 17 This action is likely to involve trade secrets, customer and pricing lists and other 18 valuable research, development, commercial, financial, technical and/or proprietary 19 information for which special protection from public disclosure and from use for any 20 purpose other than prosecution of this action is warranted. Such confidential and 21 proprietary materials and information consist of, among other things, confidential 22 business or financial information, information regarding confidential business 23 practices, or other confidential research, development, or commercial information 24 (including information implicating privacy rights of third parties), information 25 otherwise generally unavailable to the public, or which may be privileged or 26 otherwise protected from disclosure under state or federal statutes, court rules, case 27 decisions, or common law. Accordingly, to expedite the flow of information, to 1 facilitate the prompt resolution of disputes over confidentiality of discovery 2 materials, to adequately protect information the parties are entitled to keep 3 confidential, to ensure that the parties are permitted reasonable necessary uses of 4 such material in preparation for and in the conduct of trial, to address their handling 5 at the end of the litigation, and serve the ends of justice, a protective order for such 6 information is justified in this matter. It is the intent of the parties that information 7 will not be designated as confidential for tactical reasons and that nothing be so 8 designated without a good faith belief that it has been maintained in a confidential, 9 non-public manner, and there is good cause why it should not be part of the public 10 record of this case. 11 Additionally, here, there is a need for a two-tiered, attorneys’ eyes only 12 protective order that designates certain material as “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – 13 ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”. See Elements Spirits, Inc. v. Iconic Brands, Inc., Civ. 14 No. CV 15-02692 DDP(AGRx), 2016 WL 2642206, at *1–*2 (C.D. Cal. May 9, 15 2016) (holding that protective order with attorneys’ eyes only designation was 16 warranted to protect party’s confidential information) (citing Nutratech, Inc. v. 17 Syntech Int’l, Inc., 242 F.R.D. 552, 555 (C.D. Cal. 2008); Brown Bag Software v. 18 Symantec Corp., 960 F.2d 1465, 1470 (9th Cir. 1992)). 19 2. DEFINITIONS 20 2.1 Action: this pending federal lawsuit, AirDoctor, LLC v.

In- 19 House Counsel does not include Outside Counsel of Record or any other 20 outside counsel. 21 2.10 Non-Party: any natural person, partnership, corporation, association or other 22 legal entity not named as a Party to this action, including support staff. 23 2.11 Outside Counsel of Record: attorneys who are not employees of a Party to 24 this Action but are retained to represent or advise a Party to this Action and 25 have appeared in this Action on behalf of that Party or are affiliated with a 26 law firm, which has appeared on behalf of that Party, including support staff. 27 2.12 Party: any Party to this Action, including all of its officers, directors, 1 (and their support staff). 2 2.13 Producing Party: a Party or Non-Party that produces Disclosure or Discovery 3 Material in this Action. 4 2.14 Professional Vendors: persons or entities that provide litigation support 5 services (e.g., photocopying, videotaping, translating, preparing exhibits or 6 demonstrations, and organizing, storing, or retrieving data in any form or 7 medium) and their employees and subcontractors. 8 2.15 Protected Material: any Disclosure or Discovery Material that is designated 9 as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “CONFIDENTIAL - AEO”. 10 2.16 Receiving Party: a Party that receives Disclosure or Discovery Material from 11 a Producing Party. 12 3. SCOPE 13 The protections conferred by this Amended Stipulated Protective Order cover 14 not only Protected Material (as defined above), but also (1) any information copied or 15 extracted from Protected Material or information that is otherwise based in whole or 16 in part on Protected Material; (2) all copies, excerpts, summaries, or compilations of 17 Protected Material; and (3) any testimony, conversations, or presentations by Parties 18 or their Counsel that might reveal Protected Material. 19 Any use of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by the orders of the 20 trial judge. This Amended Stipulated Protective Order does not govern the use of 21 Protected Material at trial. 22 4. DURATION 23 Even after final disposition of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations 24 imposed by this Amended Stipulated Protective Order shall remain in effect until a 25 Designating Party agrees otherwise in writing or a court order otherwise directs. Final 26 disposition shall be deemed to be the later of (1) dismissal of all claims and defenses 27 in this Action, with or without prejudice; and (2) final judgment herein after the 1 this Action, including the time limits for filing any motions or applications for 2 extension of time pursuant to applicable law. 3 5. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL 4 5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection. Each 5 Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under 6 this Amended Stipulated Protective Order must take care to limit any such 7 designation to specific material that qualifies under the appropriate standards. 8 The Designating Party must designate for protection only those parts of 9 material, documents, items or oral or written communications that qualify so 10 that other portions of the material, documents, items or oral or written 11 communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept 12 unjustifiably within the ambit of this Amended Stipulated Protective Order. 13 5.2 Mass, indiscriminate or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations 14 that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an 15 improper purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the case development 16 process or to impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may 17 expose the Designating Party to sanctions. If it comes to a Designating 18 Party’s attention that information or items that it designated for protection do 19 not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must promptly notify all 20 other Parties that it is withdrawing the inapplicable designation. 21 5.3 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in this 22 Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.3.1 below), or as otherwise 23 stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for 24 protection under this Amended Stipulated Protective Order must be clearly 25 so designated before the material is disclosed or produced. 26 Designation in conformity with this Order requires: 27 5.3.1 for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic 1 proceedings), that the Producing Party affix at a minimum, the legend 2 “CONFIDENTIAL” or “CONFIDENTIAL - AEO” (hereinafter 3 “CONFIDENTIAL Legend”), to each page that contains protected material. 4 If only a portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for 5 protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected 6 portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins). 7 5.3.2 A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents available for 8 inspection need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting 9 Party has indicated which documents it would like copied and produced. 10 During the inspection and before the designation, all of the material made 11 available for inspection shall be deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the 12 inspecting Party has identified the documents it wants copied and produced, 13 the Producing Party must determine which documents, or portions thereof, 14 qualify for protection under this Amended Stipulated Protective Order. 15 Then, before producing the specified documents, the Producing Party must 16 affix the Confidential Legend to each page that contains Protected Material. 17 If only a portion of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the 18 Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by 19 making appropriate markings in the margins). 20 5.3.3 for testimony given in depositions, that the Designating Party make the 21 designation of Protected Material before the close of the deposition. 22 5.3.4 for information produced in some form other than documentary and for 23 any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place 24 on the exterior of the container or containers in which the information is 25 stored the CONFIDENTIAL Legend. If only a portion or portions of the 26 information warrants protection, the Producing Party, to the extent 27 practicable, shall identify the protected portion(s). 1 to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive 2 the Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Amended 3 Stipulated Protective Order for such material. Upon timely correction of a 4 designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable efforts to assure that 5 the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this Amended 6 Stipulated Protective Order. 7 6. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS 8 6.1 Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a designation 9 of Protected Material 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 informal dispute 12 resolution process set forth in the Court's Procedures and Schedules. See 13 http://www.cacd.uscourts.gov/honorable-alka-sagar. 14 6.2.1 The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on 15 the Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an 16 improper purpose (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and 17 burdens on other parties) may expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. 18 Unless the Designating Party has waived or withdrawn the confidentiality 19 designation, all parties shall continue to afford the material in question the 20 level of protection to which it is entitled under the Producing Party’s 21 designation until the Court rules on the challenge. 22 7. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 23 7.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is 24 disclosed or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with 25 this Action only for prosecuting, defending or attempting to settle this Action. 26 Such Protected Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons 27 and under the conditions described in this Amended Stipulated Protective 1 with the provisions of section 13 below (FINAL DISPOSITION). 2 7.1.1 Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party 3 at a location and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the 4 persons authorized under this Amended Stipulated Protective 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 7 Receiving Party may disclose any information or item designated 8 “CONFIDENTIAL” only to: 9 7.2.1 the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this Action, as well 10 as employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably 11 necessary to disclose the information for this Action; 12 7.2.2 the officers, directors, and employees (including In-House Counsel) of 13 the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this 14 Action; 15 7.2.3 Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom 16 disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed 17 the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A hereto); 18 7.2.4 the Court and its personnel; 19 7.2.5 Court reporters and their staff; 20 7.2.6 professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, and Professional 21 Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and 22 who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” 23 (Exhibit A hereto); 24 7.2.7 the author of the CONFIDENTIAL Information or Items or a custodian 25 or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the CONFIDENTIAL 26 Information or Items; 27 7.2.8 during their depositions, witnesses, and attorneys for witnesses, in the 1 deposing Party requests that the witness sign the “Acknowledgment and 2 Agreement to Be Bound” form attached as Exhibit A hereto; and (2) they 3 will not be permitted to keep any CONFIDENTIAL Information or Items 4 unless they sign the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” 5 form attached as Exhibit A hereto, unless otherwise agreed by the 6 Designating Party or ordered by the Court. Pages of transcribed 7 deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected 8 Material may be separately bound by the court reporter and may not be 9 disclosed to anyone except as permitted under this Stipulated Protective 10 Order; 11 7.2.9 any mediator or settlement officer, and their supporting personnel, 12 mutually agreed upon by any of the Parties engaged in settlement 13 discussions; and 14 7.2.10 any insurance carrier and/or its representatives to whom disclosure is 15 reasonably necessary, provided that they sign the “Acknowledgment and 16 Agreement to Be Bound” form attached as Exhibit A hereto. 17 7.3 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL - AEO” Information or Items. Unless 18 otherwise ordered by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating 19 Party, a Receiving Party may disclose “CONFIDENTIAL - AEO” 20 Information or Items only to those individuals identified in 7.2.1, 7.2.3-7.2.7 21 and 7.2.9-7.2.10, except that a Receiving Party may in good faith request that 22 the Designating Party consent in writing to the disclosure of particular 23 material designated “CONFIDENTIAL - AEO” Information or Items to one 24 or more representatives of the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is 25 reasonably necessary for this Action. The Receiving Party may seek leave of 26 court to designate such representatives if the Receiving Party believes that 27 the Designating Party has unreasonably withheld such consent. Before 1 designated representative shall sign the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to 2 Be Bound” (Exhibit A). 3 8. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN 4 OTHER LITIGATION 5 8.1 If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation 6 that compels disclosure of any Protected Materials designated in this Action, 7 that Party must: 8 8.1.1 promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall 9 include a copy of the subpoena or court order; 10 8.1.2 promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order to 11 issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by 12 the subpoena or order is subject to this Amended Stipulated Protective 13 Order. Such notification shall include a copy of this Amended Stipulated 14 Protective Order; and 15 8.1.3 cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued 16 by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected. 17 8.2 If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with 18 the subpoena or court order shall not produce any Protected Material before 19 a determination by the court from which the subpoena or order issued, unless 20 the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s permission. The Designating 21 Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in that court of 22 its Protected Material and nothing in these provisions should be construed as 23 authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this Action to disobey a 24 lawful directive from another court. 25 9. A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE PRODUCED 26 IN THIS LITIGATION 27 9.1 The terms of this Amended Stipulated Protective Order are applicable to 1 “CONFIDENTIAL” or “CONFIDENTIAL - AEO”. Such information 2 produced by Non-Parties in connection with this Action is protected by the 3 remedies and relief provided by this Amended Stipulated Protective Order. 4 Nothing in these provisions should be construed as prohibiting a Non-Party 5 from seeking additional protections. 6 9.2 In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to produce 7 a Non-Party’s CONFIDENTIAL Information or Items in its possession, and 8 the Party is subject to an agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the 9 Non-Party’s CONFIDENTIAL Information or Items, then the Party shall: 10 9.2.1 promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party that 11 some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality 12 agreement with a Non-Party; 13 9.2.2 promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Amended Stipulated 14 Protective Order in this Action, the relevant discovery request(s), and a 15 reasonably specific description of the information requested; and 16 9.2.3 make the information requested available for inspection by the Non- 17 Party, if requested. 18 9.3 If the Non-Party fails to seek a protective order from the relevant court within 19 14 days of receiving the notice and accompanying Information, the Receiving 20 Party may produce the Non-Party’s CONFIDENTIAL Information or Items 21 responsive to the discovery request. If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective 22 order, the Receiving Party shall not produce any information in its possession 23 or control that is subject to the confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party 24 before a determination by the court. Absent a court order to the contrary, the 25 Non-Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in this 26 court of its Protected Material. 27 10. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 1 Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under 2 this Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) 3 notify in writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) 4 use its best efforts to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected 5 Material, (c) inform the person or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures 6 were made of all the terms of this Amended Stipulated Protective Order, and 7 (d) request such person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment and 8 Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A. 9 11. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE 10 PROTECTED MATERIAL 11 11.1 When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain 12 inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other 13 protection, the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in 14 Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended 15 to modify whatever procedure may be established in an e-discovery order that 16 provides for production without prior privilege review. Pursuant to Federal 17 Rule of Evidence 502(d) and (e), insofar as the Parties reach an agreement on 18 the effect of disclosure of a communication or information covered by the 19 attorney-client privilege or work product protection, the Parties may 20 incorporate their agreement in the stipulated protective order submitted to the 21 court. 22 12. MISCELLANEOUS 23 12.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Amended Stipulated Protective Order 24 abridges the right of any person to seek its modification by the Court in the 25 future. 26 12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this Protective 27 Order, no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to 1 in this Amended Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any 2 right to object on any ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered 3 by this Amended Stipulated Protective Order. 4 12.3 Filing Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any Protected 5 Material must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5. Protected Material may 6 only be filed under seal pursuant to a Court order authorizing the sealing of 7 the specific Protected Material at issue. If a Party's request to file Protected 8 Material under seal is denied by the Court, then the Receiving Party may file 9 the information in the public record unless otherwise instructed by the Court. 10 13. FINAL DISPOSITION 11 13.1 After the final disposition of this Action, as defined in Paragraph 4, within 60 12 days of a written request by the Designating Party, each Receiving Party must 13 return all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such material. 14 As used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, 15 abstracts, compilations, summaries, and any other format reproducing or 16 capturing any of the Protected Material. Whether the Protected Material is 17 returned or destroyed, the Receiving Party must submit a written certification 18 to the Producing Party (and, if not the same person or entity, to the 19 Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that (1) identifies (by category, 20 where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was returned or destroyed 21 and (2) affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any copies, abstracts, 22 compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or capturing any of 23 the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are entitled 24 to retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition, 25 and hearing transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition and 26 trial exhibits, expert reports, attorney work product, and consultant and expert 27 work product, even if such materials contain Protected Material. Any such 1 to this Protective Order as set forth in Paragraph 4. 2 14. Any violation of this Amended Stipulated Protective Order may be punished by 3 any and all appropriate measures including, without limitation, contempt 4 proceedings and/or monetary sanctions. 5 IT IS SO STIPULATED, THROUGH COUNSEL OF RECORD. 6 Respectfully Submitted, 7 DATED: June 17, 2025 EPSTEIN DRANGEL LLP 8 BY: /s/ Grace A.
