Accordingly, the
n 10 || terms of this protective order do not extend beyond the commencement of the trial. < 11 12)/5. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL > 13 5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection. s 14 || Each Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under 15 this Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that 16 qualifies under the appropriate standards. The Designating Party must designate for 17 protection only those parts of material, documents, items, or oral or written 18 communications that qualify so that other portions of the material, documents, 19 items, or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept 20 unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order. 21 Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations 22 that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper 23 purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the case development process or to impose 24 unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Designating 25 Party to sanctions. 26 If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it 27 designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must 28 promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the inapplicable designation.
l 5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in 2 this Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise 3 stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection 4 under this Order must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or 5 produced. 6 Designation in conformity with this Order requires: 7 (a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic documents, 8 but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that 9 the Producing Party affix at a minimum, the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” (hereinafter n 10 || “CONFIDENTIAL legend”), to each page that contains protected material. If only a 2 11 || portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing 12 Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate > 13 || markings in the margins). 14 A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents available for 15 inspection need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has 16 indicated which documents it would like copied and produced. During the 17 inspection and before the designation, all of the material made available for 18 inspection will be deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has 19 identified the documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party must 20 determine which documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this 21 Order. Then, before producing the specified documents, the Producing Party must 22 affix the “CONFIDENTIAL legend” to each page that contains Protected Material. 23 If only a portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the 24 Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making 25 appropriate markings in the margins). 26 (b) for testimony given in depositions that the Designating Party identify the 27 Disclosure or Discovery Material on the record, before the close of the deposition all 28 protected testimony.
l (c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and for 2 any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the 3 exterior of the container or containers in which the information is stored the legend 4 ““CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a portion or portions of the information warrants 5 protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, will identify the protected 6 portion(s). 7 5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent 8 failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive 9 the Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such material.
n 10 || Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable 2 11 || efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this 12 Order. S13 14 6. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS 15 6.1 Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a 16 designation of confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the Court’s 17 Scheduling Order. 18 6.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party will initiate the dispute 19 resolution process (and, if necessary, file a discovery motion) under Local Rule 37.1 20 et seq. 21 6.3 The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding will be on 22 the Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper 23 purpose (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other 24 parties) may expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating 25 Party has waived or withdrawn the confidentiality designation, all parties will 26 continue to afford the material in question the level of protection to which it is 27 entitled under the Producing Party’s designation until the Court rules on the 28 challenge.
7. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 2 7.1 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 Action only for prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this Action. Such 5 Protected Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the 6 conditions described in this Order. When the Action 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
n 10 || location and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons 2 11 || authorized under this Order. 12 7.2 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless > 13 || otherwise ordered by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a s 14 || Receiving Party may disclose any information or item designated 15 “CONFIDENTIAL” only to: 16 (a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this Action, as 17 well as employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably 18 necessary to disclose the information for this Action; 19 (b) the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel) of 20 the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action; 21 (c) Experts (as defined in this Order) or expert consultants of the 22 Receiving Party, whether or not retained to testify at any oral hearing, to whom 23 disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed the 24 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 25 (d) the Court and its personnel; 26 (e) court reporters and their staff; 27 28
l (f) professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, and Professional 2 Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have 3 signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 4 (g) the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a 5 custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information; 6 (h) during their depositions, witnesses ,and attorneys for witnesses, in the 7 Action to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary provided: (1) the deposing party § || requests that the witness sign the form attached as Exhibit A hereto; and (2) they 9 will not be permitted to keep any confidential information unless they sign the 10 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A), unless otherwise 2 11 || agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the court. Pages of transcribed 12 deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material may > 13 || be separately bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone except s 14 || as permitted under this Stipulated Protective Order; and 15 (1) any mediator or settlement officer, and their supporting personnel, 16 mutually agreed upon by any of the parties engaged in settlement discussions.
18 /8. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED 19 IN OTHER LITIGATION 20 If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation 21 that compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this Action as 22 “CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must: 23 (a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification 24 will include a copy of the subpoena or court order; 25 (b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order 26 to issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the 27 subpoena or order is subject to this Protective Order. Such notification will include 28 a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order; and
l (c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be 2 pursued by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected. 3 If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with 4 the subpoena or court order will not produce any information designated in this 5 action as “CONFIDENTIAL” before a determination by the court from which the 6 subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s 7 permission. The Designating Party will bear the burden and expense of seeking 8 protection in that court of its confidential material and nothing in these provisions 9 should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this Action
n 10 || to disobey a lawful directive from another court. < 11 = 12419. A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE > 13 || PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION 14 (a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a = 15 || Non-Party in this Action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information 16 produced by Non-Parties in connection with this litigation 1s protected by the 17 remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in these provisions should be 18 construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional protections. 19 (b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to 20 produce a Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is 21 subject to an agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s 22 confidential information, then the Party will: 23 (1) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party 24 that some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality 25 agreement with a Non-Party; 26 (2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated 27 Protective Order in this Action, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably 28 specific description of the information requested; and
l (3) make the information requested available for inspection by the 2 Non-Party, if requested. 3 (c) If the Non-Party fails to seek a protective order from this court within 4 14 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party 5 may produce the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the discovery 6 request. If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party will 7 not produce any information in its possession or control that is subject to the 8 confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a determination by the court. 9 Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party will bear the burden and expense 10 of seeking protection in this court of its Protected Material. < 11 — 12}/10. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL > 13 If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed s 14 || Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this = 15 || Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in 16 writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts 17 to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform the person or 18 persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this Order, 19 and (d) request such person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment and 20 Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A. 21 22 }11. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE 23 PROTECTED MATERIAL 24 When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain 25 inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection, 26 the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil 27 Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify whatever 28 procedure may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for production
1 without prior privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) and 2 (e), insofar as the parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure of a 3 communication or information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work 4 product protection, the parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated 5 protective order submitted to the court. 6 7)}12. MISCELLANEOUS 8 12.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any 9 person to seek its modification by the Court in the future.
n 10 12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this 2 11 || Protective Order no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to 12 disclosing or producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in this > 13 || Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on any s 14 || ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective Order. 15 12.3 Filing Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any 16 Protected Material must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5. Protected Material may 17 only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the 18 specific Protected Material at issue. If a Party's request to file Protected Material 19 under seal is denied by the court, then the Receiving Party may file the information 20 in the public record unless otherwise instructed by the court. 21 22 13. FINAL DISPOSITION 23 After the final disposition of this Action, as defined in paragraph 4, within 60 24 days of a written request by the Designating Party, each Receiving Party must return 25 all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such material. As used in 26 this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts, compilations, 27 summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected 28 Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the Receiving
1 Party must submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the same 2 person or entity, to the Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that (1) identifies 3 (by category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was returned or 4 destroyed and (2) affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any copies, 5 abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or capturing any 6 of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are entitled to 7 retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition, and hearing 8 transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert 9 reports, attorney work product, and consultant and expert work product, even if such 10 materials contain Protected Material. Any such archival copies that contain or 2 11 || constitute Protected Material remain subject to this Protective Order as set forth in _12||Section 4 (DURATION). S13 s 14)}14. Any willful violation of this Order may be punished by civil or criminal = 15 || contempt proceedings, financial or evidentiary sanctions, reference to disciplinary 16 authorities, or other appropriate action at the discretion of the Court. 17 18 }FOR GOOD CAUSE SHOWN BY THE PARTIES’ STIPULATION, IT IS SO } ORDERED. 20 21 fu f 22 DATED: September 22, 2023 23 HON.
