Person or entity that provides litigation support services 11 (e.g., photocopying, videotaping, translating, preparing exhibits or demonstrations, organizing, 12 storing, retrieving data in any form or medium; etc.) and its employees and subcontractors. 13 13. The use of the singular form of any word includes the plural, and vice versa. 14 SCOPE 15 The protection conferred by this Protective Order covers not only Protected Material, but 16 also any information copied or extracted therefrom, as well as all copies excerpts, summaries, or 17 compilations thereof, testimony, conversations, or presentations by parties or counsel to or in 18 court or in other settings that might reveal Protected Material. 19 DURATION 20 Even after the termination of this action, the confidentiality obligations imposed by this 21 Protective Order shall remain in effect until a Designating Party agrees otherwise in writing or a 22 court order otherwise directs. 23 DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL 24 1. Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided herein, or as 25 otherwise ordered, material that qualifies for protection under this Order must be clearly 26 designated before it is disclosed or produced. Designations in conformity with this Order 27 require: 1 a. For information in documentary form. That the Producing Party shall 2 affix the legend “Confidential” on each page that contains Protected Material. If only a portion 3 or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must 4 clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate makings in the margins or 5 redacting protected portions). A Producing Party that makes original documents or materials 6 available for inspection need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party 7 has indicated which material it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and 8 before the designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be deemed 9 “Confidential.” After the inspecting Party has identified the documents it wants copied and 10 produced, the Producing Party must determine which documents, or portions thereof, qualify for 11 protection under this Order, and, before producing the specified documents, the Producing Party 12 must affix the appropriate legend on each page that contains Protected Material. If only a portion 13 or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must 14 clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriated markings in the margins 15 or by redacting protected portions). 16 b. For testimony given in deposition or in other pretrial or trial proceedings. 17 That before the close of the deposition, hearing, or other proceeding, the Party or non-party 18 offering or sponsoring the testimony shall identify on the record all protected testimony and 19 further specify any portions of the testimony that qualify as “Confidential.” When it is 20 impractical to identify separately each portion of testimony that is entitled to protection, the Party 21 or non-party that sponsors, offers, or gives the testimony may invoke on the record (before the 22 deposition or proceeding is concluded) a right to have up to thirty (30) days to identify the 23 specific portions or the testimony as to which protection is sought. Only those portions of the 24 testimony that are appropriately designated for protection under the standards set forth herein 25 within the thirty (30) days shall be covered by the provisions of this Protective Order. Upon 26 request of a Designating Party, transcript pages containing Protected Material must be separately 27 bound by the court reporter, who must affix to the top of each such page the legend 1 “Confidential” as instructed by the Party or non-party offering or sponsoring the witness or 2 presenting the testimony. 3 c. For information produced in some form other than documentary, and for 4 any other tangible items. That the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the exterior of 5 the container or containers in which the information or item is stored the legend “Confidential.” 6 If only portions of the information or item warrant protection, the Producing Party, to the extent 7 practicable, shall identify the protected portions. 8 2. Inadvertent Failure to Designate. Inadvertent failure to identify documents or 9 things as “Confidential” pursuant to this Protective Order shall not constitute a waiver of any 10 otherwise valid claim for protection, provided that the provisions of this paragraph are satisfied. 11 If the Designating Party discovers that information should have been but was not designated 12 “Confidential” or if the Designating Party receives notice that would enable the Designating 13 Party to learn that it has disclosed such information, the Designating Party must immediately 14 notify all other parties. In such event, within thirty (30) days of notifying all other Parties, the 15 Designating Party must also provide copies of the “Confidential” information designated in 16 accordance with this Protective Order.
